Never tried to get the brass ring, so I had to look that up (those still in existence were typically east coast. I only lived there for two years, so maybe I never rode one that had that). Oh. It's a game you play on the ride. Got it. And you get awarded a prize, typically another ride. Cool. So what sorts of things did you win georgysmom?

Yesterday's question kind of threw me for a loop. There were auto manufacturers that used assembly line processes before Ford and I knew Ransom Olds did. I took the term literally and thought maybe the answer was supposed to identify the person who thought up the process. No worries..... I know the Volkswagen was created in Germany and that Hitler was involved in the design. I'm probably wrong but sticking with my answer.

haha! matti5, we think alike. IF he had a father, I would guess accountant. LOL!

When I was at the hospital day of surgery, and at ER, I wanted my phone on. They actually wanted it while hubby was in surgery so they could get hold of me quick. Anyway, my flip phone wouldn't get any service, even though everyone was on their smart phones. That bothered me, and I'm thinking of looking to see if I can get one for pay as you go, which is still a monthly plan but relatively inexpensive, $15/mth (my current plan). We use it very seldom and that's the cheapest monthly plan I've seen. If it doesn't get renewed every month, you lose all of the accumulated minutes.
