Welp. Been having doubts about my roomie's g/f, walked in on her blowing some dude she introduced as her "cousin" earlier. Never have I been so satisfied to tell someone to get the gently caress out and never come back. Especially after she shittalked his previous exes for cheating on him. Wish I had some booze or  to share with him at least

If you look at it check around the hatch for rust, the Protege5 emblem was installed at port apparently by just drilling through the metal... and the paint. If the suspension on those is anything like the Mazdaspeed, they're an absolute blast to drive.

my coworker is 24 and he married his longtime girlfriend who was like 20 last year just found out they're getting a divorce because she told him that she wants to spend her life with him but would like to "be with other dudes as well" aka have all the benefits of being married to a successful dude while she is out slutting it up after her shift at the local men's sports hair salon with big tittied hair dressers place He's taking it really well; if my wife told me that I wouldn't be able to get out of bed

Well yeah, it's a huge upgrade over your Civic and you'd be able to make twice the money if and when you decided to sell it. I have no clue why that guy would want to trade, but if you decide to just make sure you go over it good, and make sure it wasn't totaled or anything.

I know several people in long term relationships (married etc) that have kept things a bit open now and then for 10+ years. Not saying it's the norm (far from it), but for some people it does work. I don't think I could handle it myself, I'm too jealous.

drat I need to get one of these sets so I can replace all the worn out rubber poo poo and some strut mounts too. http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-4-18117G-Master-Escort/dp/B000CNB0G8 It would cost me like $300 total if I get the moog strut mounts and that bushing set. Oh and spring compressors because I don't have any.

DDDdouble post. Boss called me and asked me to come in early because of the weather (it was getting ugly in a hurry this morning). And I got the poo poo scared out of me while getting in my car. Started to get into my car, got that weird "why is the hair on my neck standing up?" feeling, looked in the mirror on the door, say my hair standing straight up, knew that meant it was "OH gently caress" time, tried to get into the car ASAP, then there was a super bright flash and a "FSSSST" noise. Never heard a boom, but my ears started ringing so bad that I couldn't hear a thing for several minutes. Family came running out of the house immediately afterwards, since they knew I had just walked out of the house. I couldn't hear anything they said for a couple of minutes. I got stupid lucky on that one. Pretty sure it hit my next door neighbor's ham radio antenna (again). I've been feeling really weird ever since - tingling in my hands/feet, and my arms have been numb off and on. My pulse and blood pressure have been normal since then though, and I made it through work. His antenna has been hit several times before, the last time I was sitting on the back porch - and it was much of the same, but with a lot less tingling. Our house has actually taken a couple of hits as well, but the worst we've seen has been a melted ground wire (to the ground rod that goes into the ground). The last time his antenna got hit, it was a double whammy that also hit our house, and took out a bunch of electronics and a tree. Not related, but my boss's brother is moving cross country, and has a CHL. He was pulling an early 70s GMC pickup on a flatbed behind the moving truck, stopped at a truck stop for dinner, and caught someone trying to unhook it. Thank gently caress the state he was in recognized out of state CHL permits; he held the guy at gunpoint and called the state troopers. Cops essentially said "if you want to charge him, we can find something" (guy claimed "I saw your pickup wasn't tied down properly, I was fixing your tie downs!") Weather is getting funky again now. I'm staying the gently caress inside. I'm normally off Sundays, but I work 10:30am - 6pm today (someone wanted to get rid of a shift, I wanted the hours, so why not?) Next week's schedule? I have all opens - half primary opener (10:30), half secondary (11:30-12:00). A little irritated that he's scheduled me for next Sunday, but I'll talk to boss about that and get him to schedule me for second in on Sundays so I can attend to the whole fellowship/church/etc thing.

Been driving a 2015 Toyota Yaris all weekend. Really surprised - gutless turd of a car but honestly a bright chirply little thing that is strangely a hoot to drive. I never expected a Toyota to be such a cheery and happy car for all it's otherwise many faults - just goes to prove a car with character is what makes for a car you want to drive. Also makes you appreciate the brute force of 6 litres of V8. Poor little thing was having probblems climbing Adelaide Hills, the Commodore just powers over anything. Still.... cant say I would poo poo on a Yaris anyore, I'm just so surprised Toyota makes something that's not an appliance.

Wish I'd gone to bed earlier, have to be at work in 2 1/2 hours. Between the UPS beeping over the power quality right now, the loud rear end thunder, and the weather radio going apeshit, I doubt I'll be able to get back to sleep.
