You're incorrect, Google is not my friend.

Whatever search engine you use - research isn't that hard. You have stated that you are an advocate of research.

How about this Creal

I think this was on SS meme's that make you giggle or one of these joke threads.

Not trying to start an argument, so please don't take it that way. However, I know a little bit about the lumber industry. Could you please point me to the source of your statements?

It's not hard to find if you research it. Google is your friend.

What they ^^^^ said. Some are credible news agencies like the AP and NBC; here's something from a company that claims to be a lumber manufacturer

(not being a buyer of commercial lumber products, I have no idea whether this is a legit company or not)

To my mind, a decision to allow your inventory to slide a bit because you expect a depressed economy to cause a period of low demand counts as "by design;" I am not inferring that anyone is engaged in price gouging.

Not a whole lot of warm and fuzzy feelings toward Google around here at the moment. Our driveway is at the end of a road, and it is long enough and curved enough that you don't see the house from that road. The house is physically in closer proximity to the end of another road, from which you can just make out a corner of the roof through the trees, but there is no connection to this second road. There is also a dirt road with a huge ditch that runs along the back of the property, but there are no bridges across the ditch. Google used to know how to get to the house, but for some time now, anyone using a certain navigation app has been sent down the second road, rather than the road to which our driveway connects (when a house has a road name in the address, wouldn't common sense make you look for it on that road??) We don't know when this changed, but we have had several shipped items get returned to sender because the driver couldn't find a way through the jungle at the end of the second road. My husband has repeatedly tried to inform Google that they are giving bad directions, and a few days ago, it changed. Now, if you try to google directions to our house, it sends you down the dirt road.

I'm old and I obviously used an old catch phrase - so shoot me! lol

I was simply referring to the poster advocating research for other folks. Thought he might want to do some on his own.

Having said that - totally agree with google maps having a terrible sense of direction in many cases.

Maybe the lost folks have their GPS set on the scenic route? We end up with folks in the back of a cow pasture around here when they try to travel around on scenic mode. We find it hilarious, not sure what the cows think, sometimes the cars end up there in the middle of the night. Rental cars, mostly.

Happy Easter for you Christian folks and Happy Spring Equinox (slightly late) to everyone else. With all these bunnies around here, you'd think there'd be some colored eggs, but I guess they didn't get the memo.

Google thought my house was a cornfield for years. Which I didn’t mind. The only problem was a hurricane destroyed the main mile marker building to turn down my street. So the directions became at that heap of rubble, a mile before the green farm stand; yeah, the over priced one.

Well the problem is "common" sense isn't that common anymore. And since GPS on phones and gadgets on your dash board became common, people can neither give or take directions (for the most part). My old house could not be looked up and I had a time with a lot of people who would NOT absolutely not take down directions until after I gave them the address and they couldn't find it. Similar here. Same friend went an extra 20 miles to come to the wedding rehearsal instead of listening to me.
I work out of town and for different company's at different locations. Nobody can tell me HOW to get there. And they drive there everyday.
