Mat_Drinks posted:The best bet is to have your girlfriend start to lay the groundwork with her friend that she's ultimately not her boss and that she isn't directly responsible for her future and because of their friendship will recuse herself from any work situation regarding her be it good or bad. The only problem is that until the friend is promoted my girlfriend is her boss. I guess she got in trouble for excessive cell phone use yesterday and she may have intentionally thrown my girlfriend under the bus during a call with corporate. I'm not hopeful for the future. Edit: Today I gave an elderly chap his change. He left the store and returned a few minutes later and flicked a coin at my head. He then yelled at me for giving him a CANADIAN penny and screamed a bunch of nonsense and demanded "UNITED STATES CURRENCY." I gave him the penny just to get him the gently caress out of the store. About ten minuted later I realized I didn't give him any pennies to begin with. So uh, gently caress you old crazy man. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Mar 14, 2015 |

I took iwentdoodie's advice on my WRX and got the form from the DMV to sign the interest in the car over to my dad. I don't have any more weird tinder stories, because I actually had a boyfriend while I was gone from the forums, but he broke up with me for some hella weird reasons so now I'm just back to hanging out with my dog.

Well it sounds like it worked out for the better then  I can be a bit insecure sometimes, but that's just lingering damage from my terrible marriage. I'm slowly getting over all of the neuroses I gained during that time.At the beginning of last month, my then-girlfriend broke up with me because she was still hung up on a guy she had a thing for. That immediately led to me dating the girl I'm with now, and I can say that things worked out for the better in my situation. She lives closer, we have more in common, and there is significantly less latent crazy person.

If anything you gave that guy a collectors' item and he should immediately get it appraised at market value (under one cent).

I'll be dinging 42 this year. My body is still in relatively good shape if I can keep the pounds off. I swear I'm like a balloon. My weight can swing 30 lbs in less than a month. If I eat even remotely healthy and drink water, I can drop the el bees pretty quick. But man...if I so much as look at a cheeseburger or anything with sugar in it? Fatso City, here I come.

Well, you guys didn't seem old before you took the masks off. But I have poor judgement so what do I know anyways? Also, apparently, singer Barry White stole $30,000 worth of tires and served 4 months in jail.

So I went to look at a car that was listed on Craigslist earlier. When I got back from the test drive, the seller (who seemed pretty normal otherwise) was standing in his garage drinking Two Buck Chuck from the bottle, and he was taking swigs the whole time we were haggling. The whole thing was vaguely Lynchian, and I'm wondering if it's something about that neighborhood or just a CL thing, since I looked at another car in the area around Christmas and the dude was obviously soused even though he was dressed well, had a nice apartment, etc. I guess I'm not used to being around functional alcoholics.

That's so weird, granted we're literally a few miles from Canada, but I've never had one customer bitch about getting Canadian change back in the 7 years I've worked retail, and I've never had a store refuse to take Canadian change. A lot of places even take Canadian cash

I'm just glad that I'm considered extremely mature by my coworkers since apparently being married at 23 means you are mature to 18-22 year olds Good thing my wife can't shatter that illusion for them

So i heard my phone's email alert chime crawling up its own rear end in a top hat to die, so I looked what happened and I guess somewhere in the internet sprung a leak because I am the proud owner of almost 8,000 new old stock dealer wholesale emails dating all the way back to when I opened the account. Did find some cool things though, like when I saw Tool.  Or the near mythical cryptofood known only as The Boneyard.  Or this

leica posted:Aaaaand at midnight I just turned 44 years old. Getting old sucks, all you young fuckers enjoy your relatively healthy bodies while they last I have 37 creeping up on me this year. But "healthy body" is anything but me. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, awesome!  Tide posted:I am, at my core, a big dumb kid. Life's too short to go through it too seriously. Same. Tusen Takk posted:I like my car, but I'm ready for an upgrade and after the whole GM starter thing the value dropped by $3,000 or so, depending on how old the person who buys it is. You ain't kidding, the values have just loving tanked in the past year, even retail. I mean I know GMs depreciate quickly, but drat, I doubt I could even trade it in without getting laughed off of the lot when they find out how upside down I am on it. I've heard rumors of a class action suite against GM over the value and the ignition switch poo poo, but I'm pretty sure that's just some lawyer trying to draw up a crowd. Darchangel posted:Towing an automatic in neutral will destroy the transmission in short order. Not too bad for a manual. You either tow them backwards with the steering wheel tied off so it won't snake, or you pull the driveshaft. For frequently towed vehicles, the RV industry makes driveline disconnects for your tender. You'd be surprised. Saturn's cars (prior to GM rebadging Chevies, Opels, etc as Saturns anyway) were actually designed to be flat towed in neutral, even the automatics. This doesn't apply to anything newer than the SC/SL/SW series though - the newer stuff is parts bin GM under the hood (or Honda, in the case of some Vues). Saturn actually used to advertise in a lot of RV-oriented magazines touting that exact capability. A lot of newer vehicles are certified from the factory to be flat towed (jump to page 17).

Ditto. 43 here and most people think I'm a lot younger. I go to concerts and buy car parts with my bonus checks. I acted mature through my 20's due to wanting to be married so bad, getting divorced at 33 kind of reset the clock, and the person I enjoy hanging out with the most right now is my 12 yr old daughter. We went to a concert last weekend, and are going to another one tomorrow night, and another one 10 days after that. I'm going to 2 more with another friend between those. Winter's almost over here, spring is coming and I need to get out of the house/my head anyway. Happy Birthday Leica you old fart.

You guys are an inspiration, either you're cool old guys, or cool young guys that give me some faith that not all youngsters are twats, or you take the hits and keep getting back up, (or grab life by the ball ) or you give me faith that any one of us could get up one morning and pick up a skill. In other news I may be having a nervous breakdown and spent the last 10 hours cleaning up after a sick kid. I'm now at work waiting to start stitching a 2300t press back together because one end is literally falling off.
