I really want to visit Alaska some day. There's something appealing to me about being isolated in a survivalist sort of fashion, but I would end up getting way too lonely. Off course that applies to Canadian wilderness too. But can an American just move to Canada? edit: I'm also eligible for citizenship in an E.U. country, I need to take advantage of that.

Raluek posted:It's just ham  HAM IS LEG MEAT YOU gently caress Back bacon is cured pork loin. Similarities between back bacon and ham are only a result of the curing itself (and the fact that it's all pork in the end), but they're pretty distinct cuts both before and after curing.

Football is good because I can auto draft a fantasy team in a $20 12 player league and wind up winning the whole thing, did it last year and I'm on the way to doing it again As far as watching sports though basketball is my favorite, right mix of action and discernable strategy

Welp, just got a text from dad, roads are slick as hell so we're taking the day off. I don't think I've had an actual proper snow day in ages  Now I just have to resist the urge to go find someplace to get my parking lot Tokyo Dorifto on. Also, re: Football chat, try being a Raiders fan. I can never properly explain to people why I am, just that I have this weird, unconditional fandom for what is probably the worst NFL team out there.

STR Mega-reply inbound:Terrible Robot posted:Pretty sure my house has a black mold issue. One day it will literally kill me. Can't afford to move out, can't afford to fix the problem, batfuck insane landlord will probably kick me out if I press the issue. If your around DC, and open to moving to Maryland, I have an extra room for rent. I think we got all black mold that was behind the walls in the bathroom when we renovated it. And it'll be pretty cheap. Plus Old Toyota's in the driveway/yard/garage.... I'm not kidding either, the rent money would be a huge help. Raluek posted:Christ. I never understand how people can act this way towards their family. They're family. Stabbing them all in the back for a few bucks is just so terrible. I'm sorry, dude. Rhyno posted:gently caress. That reminds me of when my Grandmother died..... I'm sorry Adiabatic. At least you still have your parents. My personal experience is that when it comes to money, family ties don't matter as much as one would think they should. I don't even talk to my mother (aka the ex-wife), because of what she did (mostly being selfish) after my Dad passed away last year. Bitch took all the life insurance, and tried to take the big 401k. They had been divorced for over 10 years at this point, but he never updated his beneficiary forms. (UPDATE THEM YEARLY--SERIOUSLY, YOU MAY ACCIDENTLY GIVE MONEY TO SOMEONE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO INSTEAD OF PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT) She then moved to Nashville Tennessee about a week after he died. She only gave us very little of the life insurance money, and the only way she signed over the 401k is when we threatened to sue, because of the divorce decree, the life insurance was supposed to go to us--she knew this and wouldn't hand over a copy of the divorce decree because it was specifically spelled out that whomever got the life insurance money was supposed to turn it over to the kids (us). Instead of doing what was legally required, she takes the divorce decree and immediately retains an attorney, then lies to me saying she can't find it.... When I finally realized what she had done (one of her friends told me) I confronted her and she told me to and I quote "you can just go get a copy from the courthouse, it is public record after all" I was able to basically strong arm her into signing over the 401k because apparently her attorney couldn't find any loopholes. I did have to sign over the estate's interest in a house that was nearly paid off in Illinois. Since then I don't really talk to her, because she tries to justify it with stupid excuses from when I was a kid. In order to make ends meet (because I've inherited the bills of someone who made double what I do) I've had to take periodic withdrawals from the inherited retirement accounts, and take on the huge tax burden that comes with it. Oh I almost forgot one of the first things she said to my grandparents when they arrived, "I can pay for the cremation, and the estate can pay be back later". That is super hosed up to say to people in their late 80's, who are here to bury their son. Worst part is, they have been nothing but kind to her even after the divorce. To make it short: My Father's Ex-Wife (my real mother) tried to steal about a quarter million dollars from my brother and myself, then rolled out to Nashville, while leaving me with all the bills, and to try to deal with the grief after my Dad passed away. Since then I haven't really talked to her. Every couple of months (usually around my birthday, Thanksgiving/Christmas) I get a voice-mail message... I sometimes call her back but I'm very short and polite now. I just have no desire to be hurt by someone who is supposed to care about me. And I don't think I ever want to get married/have a SO and or have kids because there is a remote possibility that I could do something like this because I'm related, and grew up around this poo poo. Also both my parents are/were hoarders, so I have had to sort through literal mountains of poo poo in the houses. I think the last trip to the dump was somewhere in the range of 4200 lbs.... OFFICER 13 INCH posted:I've put honest, serious hours of thought into moving to Alaska over the course of my life and I'm starting to think that it might just be time to do that one of thse days. I know just how you feel. I am thinking that once I sell this loving house to developers who are going to bulldoze it and put up townhouses, I may just look into moving. Either to Pittsburgh to be closer to my grandparents, or the PNW. Also:

Hey thanks everyone for the condolences. Not sure why I'm venting to an automotive forum but y'all are pretty receptive so  Everything I can change or influence is going well. It's just a bunch of bullshit out of control that's making 2014 suck slightly.

alternate.eago posted:Also both my parents are/were hoarders, so I have had to sort through literal mountains of poo poo in the houses. I think the last trip to the dump was somewhere in the range of 4200 lbs.... My dad owns a second house just to keep junk in, along with several storage lockers. I don't think he's ever thrown away anything in his life. The basement of one of his houses flooded recently and he refuses to throw out anything, despite everything being covered in a thick layer of mold. I'm sort of pleased to be estranged from my father because I have no desire to deal with his estate after he dies, between his hoarding tendencies and his horrible wife. I imagine that if my dad leaves me anything, there's going to be a lengthy court battle involved because his wife won't want to give up anything.

I have to admit, I'm still surprised at how tight this forum can be sometimes. I remember when I first regged, I figured SA was going to be nothing but internet assholes and I was going to be probated or banned within the first few months for no reason other than laughs. You guys turned out pretty cool though.

My best friend (and the only person I know as car spergy as me) just recently moved to Maryland and my area is becoming less and less appealing, for a number of reasons. Unfortunately I can't go anywhere for the time being, at least until I get some debt paid off and get my resume looking a little better, and maybe fix at least one of my cars... I'd love to come up for a weekend or something and wrench on some old Toyotas, maybe after this stupid year is over I can take a couple PTO days and head up there. edit: AI is the best, I love this forum and all of you cranky bastards.
