You’re one of those old people, aren’t you?
Always living in the past, telling those young punks of today how easy they have it now. You begin every sentence with, “oh yeah, well back in MY day, we didn’t have the Internet. And we LIKED it!”
So time marches on – it happens.
We can all agree that all sorts of things have changed over the past 50 years for sure, but even more so in the last 5-10 years.

When was the last time you got your car’s oil changed?
Do you rely on that little sticker on the windshield to remind you of when you need to bring your car into the shop next? Do you do it every 3,000 or 5,000 miles, whether you think you need an oil change or not? Does your car have a little computer system to remind you once you’ve reached a certain mileage threshold of these basic maintenance tasks?
Face it – not everyone is as diligent with their car maintenance as they should be, and that could be why most cars you see on the road today are woefully in need of some TLC.
So why should you care? Money experts say that the longer you can keep your car running and operational, the more money you’ll save over time for retirement. The tipping point seems to hover around 10 years — if you can keep every car that you’ll ever own for at least 10 years before getting a new one, think of all the extra money you’ll save over continually being behind in car payments.
And for all those years that you’re not making car payments, you should be setting aside a little bit of money each month as if you DID have a car payment…. so that when it comes time to buying a new car again, you’ll have a significant amount of cash available to put down as a down payment — and you may even have enough to buy the car with cash outright and have no monthly car payment at all!
So now that you have a car (and you’ve had it for a number of years, longer than your neighbors have had theirs), what should you do to keep that car in tip-top long-lasting shape?

In some divorces, couples fight over who gets the toilet paper.
One of Web Watch’s friends wanted out of his marriage so badly, he left everything behind. The ex-wife got everything – including his clothes. He felt it was easier to just replace all his stuff then it was to have to deal with her in any way.
Yeah, that was a rough divorce, but rest assured that he’s in a much, much happier place now.

Apparently, Canadians hate sex.
To be fair, it’s not all Canadians, and it’s not that they hate sex — it’s just that some Canadians have sex lower on their priority scale than other things.

Bored?
Looking for something fun to do?
Why not take a few minutes to poke around with Google?
(“Hey, Web Watch – we already know how to use Google,” you say. Of course you do. But here’s how to have FUN with Google search…)

So the other day, Web Watch was having some drinks with friends when the topic of party music came up.
Of course, we all broke out singing Red Solo Cup
Which only prompted us to sing the song louder and at every available opportunity.
And that’s when the conversation shifted from FUN PARTY SONGS to WORST SONGS FOR STRIPPERS TO DANCE TO.
The overall winner?
How old were you when you first had sex?
And if you have kids that age, have you taken the time to have THAT conversation with them, to ensure that your kids don’t make the same mistake (or have the same fun) that you had when you were their age?
Chances are, you haven’t. Web Watch doesn’t know many parents who have had that conversation at all.
But it may end up that today’s parents shouldn’t be that discouraged about their kids bumping uglies in an unresponsible manner, according to a recent report from the CDC.

How hard is it to learn Spanish?
When you look at the scale of all languages around the world, learning Spanish is about as difficult as learning French, Italian, or Portuguese.
Surprisingly, a few other languages were also considered at the same level — Afrikaans, Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch included.
