I hosed my sister's best friend, and (as of last week) we're engaged. Things were a little rocky between my sister and I at first, but in the end she needed to grow up.

That said, my fiancé and I spent last Sunday playing coop games for 5 hours and she let me buy a car without having sold the Miata yet.

She's a keeper :dance:

Yeah this.

Also anyone who cares this much about either side of the equation is a big ol drama bomb, in my humble opinion. Find something more productive to focus on. "I hate drama" is the biggest red flag of them all, aside from wanting to sleep with your sister maybe.

WTF was just asked if I wanted to move back to WI in a round-about way for a different job with my company. It's more tempting than it should be.
Couldn't help but think about this all the way into work today, not sure if it's good or bad I'm considering it. My job here is secure and awesome, job there would be equally if not more secure but likely less awesome and more travel. I hate decisions.

Weekend trip to WI just got extended by at least one week. At this rate why do I have a house, I'd be better off with a large storage building with a hammock in one corner for the occasional nights at home. Think I'll be sitting down with the manager who brought up my name for the position.

NE Ohio is a miserable place to live. The lake is wrecks the weather for 6 months out of the year. Much more snow, much more cloudy, much more salt on the roads. Trashes everything and makes for a very ugly place to live. Plus, the exodus of manufacturing and other jobs have made it an even more depressed wasteland.

Nobody that moves out of NE Ohio ever says they regret it.

Not even exaggerating Detroit is a better place to live than Cleveland. At least people are trying to bring Detroit back, afaik everyone dreams of leaving Cleveland and letting it rot.

That being said, still better than Indiana.

Rhyno we all love you but based on all the drama in your life I'd say half of it is from your poo poo friends and the rest of it is from you blowing it out of proportion or getting involved in something that you could have not gotten involved in.


I don't want to call you a drama queen because typically you get involved with the best intentions, but bloody hell man your life is as dramatic as Gone with the Wind.

Tussy Talk makes a good post. Mark this day on a calendar, folks.

In all seriousness - I feel for you Rhyno, but as pointed out - you spend a lot of time and energy trying to control other people - and it's time and energy that could be spent controlling your own life.

So the signs on the road giving the recommended speed for a corner, do those get updated? In a modern car, they generally seem about 10 mph too cautious, but when I was driving a 50 year old car around they were always pretty much at the edge of what I felt was safe.

That depends entirely on whether you're talking about yellow or white signs, have you read the drivers handbook?

I can generally maintain 10-20mph over their recommendation even in a shagged out beat up jeep with 250k miles on the suspension, so I think you may need more practice.

The yellow ones, the advisory ones.

Manual steering, drum brakes all around with a weak master cylinder, skinny bias-ply tires, and lashings of body roll all combined to make me drive a bit slower on curvy roads.

What bugs me more than the overly cautious speed recommendations are when those signs indicate a 90 degree turn ahead, and you get to it and its barely more than a gentle bend, nothing that would require slowing down.

Also the craft beer is amazing and the ability to live in the country with a shitload of property and drive into downtown to enjoy the city life within 15 minutes outweighs any amount of snow they get up there. Well, it certainly helps I guess.

God damnit. I really need to stop engaging morons on Facebook. Along with Birthers, Tea Partiers, and POST THIS OR YOU WILL DIE TOMORROW the Ebola fearing crowd is about the worst.

Yes, all 6 (if even that) people that are infected with the ebola is going to cause a massive outbreak, even though the flu, rabies and other viruses kill far more people and are already wide spread. Its not like the ebola isn't spread through the air. It is spread through intimate contact (how the nurses in Dallas were infected by touching bodily fluids and not following proper hazmat procedures) :rolleyes:
