that would be very cool I could tell the car where to go and sit and read, enjoy the scenery, sleep whatever until I get there.

Driving for me is not just about transportation, is about enjoying the ride and the driving experience

At this point there are too many problems that need to be worked out. However, I believe in 10 years they will have worked things out and I'll be old enough to want to be driven.

I'm too much of a control freak. I have to bite my tongue because my wife of 55 yrs is our driver. Sometimes I just can't.

Being a computer programmer I know a computer could never observe all the decision making a human can. If I can’t drive, lift can.

I guess I'm just too old-fashioned. And I just don't trust technology to be as good as advertised.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
