Rain in socal is amazing. Everyone gets away with bald rear end tires, because it never rains. Soooo many loving cars sliding everywhere.

2015 has been good so far, expect being mostly broke from having A BABBY about a year ago and going back to a single income household is a bit tough, but otherwise really rewarding.

2015 has been good. The kids are in good health, marriage is as good as ever. Work, while slow in some regards has also been fiscally my most successful year by a large margin; approaching the territory where people would be mad at me I guess. Have a look at what I am excited about that is going to be coming out in the first bit of next year:    It is a 1/5 RC Car powered by a 32cc gas two stroke engine. Without the engine it weighs about 39 pounds. This is 90% a final production version and I am STOKED. For scale those rear shocks at full extension are about 12" long. The shafts are 8mm in diameter.

mariooncrack posted:poo poo that's rough. Are you okay? I miss being able to go over to my bro's house whenever and just chat. I took that for granted. Growing up he was my mom for the most part. With my mom, the last time I saw her was at my grandmother's funeral in 2013. I had a lot of anger towards her over how things had gone growing up, so I didn't keep in touch with her for the last several years. When I got the news of how she passed I was just hit with a wave of I'll never be able to tell her that despite how things went, I still loved her. She died one month after her 54th birthday and I keep trying not to think about how I could have done her last birthday different, spoil her one last time, if I had known how things were going, I try not to think of these things but you know how brains are. I haven't gotten an official cause of death yet because they have to run toxicology reports but from what the detective said and what I saw in the room she was staying, it probably going to be respiratory failure due to heroin. I went to the room she was staying in the day I got the news to see if I could find any personal effects of hers to save, but she just had the necessities, clothes, toiletries, and some food. And 10 - 20 syringes around the place. I just worry she felt thrown away, like no one cared anymore. My gf was really supportive for the weekend I got the news and the next weekend as I was wrapping up my mom's affairs but after that she just stopped coming around. I was patient with her for two weeks then we had a fight the week after Halloween and she hasn't spoken to me since. Our relationship had always had its ups and downs, but I've always tried to be there for her. It just sucks that 7 years ends like that, that I wasn't worth it to her to fight for. Am I ok? Some days I'm ok.

It might help to remind yourself that as much as it kills you now to wonder what might have been if you'd known, you said it yourself, you didn't know how things were going - so you couldn't have done anything. I know you can't right now, but your thinking on the whole relationship thing is completely backwards. You are worth it. If she didn't want to stick around, it is her loss. And I know you don't want to hear it, man, but if you were seven years in and you didn't even live together (please correct me if i'm wrong but the "stopped coming around" wording suggests you weren't)... that wasn't going to go anywhere anyway Alas, if brains worked on logic, we wouldn't have this problem, so you're still gonna feel like poo poo for god knows how long   Some days you'll be OK, some days you won't, but one day you'll be OK and you'll stay OK (about these things anyway), we promise.

The first half of this year was utterly terrible, a black downward spiral to a suicide attempt on the fourth of July. Everything since has been tough, but I'm putting my mind and my life back together, one piece at time. The little victories count.

God drat, some of you guys have had a lovely year. Hope you all have a much better 2016. 2015 was decent for me, not great, but got a promotion with a nice raise, and finally got my lazy rear end off the couch and started going to the gym to see if I can be something that isn't a fat-rear end eventually.

Welp. Curbed the gently caress out of a wheel tonight. Wasn't paying attention to where the curb actually was when I made a turn, I saw where the cutout was for a storm drain and took the turn wide. Made one hell of A Noise, and took a small chunk out of the curb. I'm pretty sure I'm not meant to have alloy wheels. All 4 wheels already have some damage from a lovely tire shop, but were otherwise in pretty good shape.   Fart Pipe posted:drat dude, thats wicked sucky What is this "house phone" thing? Oh. The thing that we have that isn't actually hooked up to any phones, and exists solely to knock $5 off of my internet bill? How do you use those things anyway? They make this weird noise that I'm told is a "dial tone". But there's no green button to press after you punch in a number, and I can't figure out how to text from it. It also makes these really angry scary beeping noises when I actually do plug a phone into it if I don't put it back on the charger every few minutes. At least I think it's a charger, but it has a couple of cords. I have to plug my regular phone into a charger every night (sometimes during the day too) if I want to keep texting and driving.

There was one point in my life where I was positive I wouldn't live past 25 (somehow I'm still wasting oxygen at 37), and I've gotten cynical enough to where if I find out a friend has started using heroin, I just mentally write them off immediately (and I've only seen 2 friends buck the trend so far). I'm hoping I can end this year without going to a funeral, though I did lose one friend this year. Didn't find out until the day of her service.  At this point they're dropping from heart attacks and/or cancer instead of overdoses, so... minor victory I guess?TBH I'll probably lose my poo poo whenever my parents pass. rndmnmbr posted:The first half of this year was utterly terrible, a black downward spiral to a suicide attempt on the fourth of July. Been there done that. It takes a long time to get back to loving life (and in my case, a couple of 72 hour vacations that were both accompanied by Dallas PD, thanks to a concerned friend), but it's worth it. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Dec 12, 2015 |

drat, I was going to say how my year had it'd ups and downs but overall has been an incredible improvement but now I feel bad. Anyone who's lost friends family or pets you have my honest heartfelt condolences, I've been really lucky and I'm into my 30s without having lost anyone to cancer or drugs but I also know my parents aren't going to last for ever. I was over at my parents last weekend helping my dad with some plumbing and he remarked casually that's he's the oldest any male in his family has ever got to at 61 thanks for that, somehow that's never been bought up before. Then he said that in the last 10 years he feels he's lost about 90% of his mobility and strength and ability, he looks and acts fine but to mention a weakness like that means it must be scaring the poo poo out of him. Now I feel sad again

The thing about her dying alone with all the needles around makes me sad. That happened to the guy that I got my car from that was my uncles best friend and when I think about that it bothers me So for some good news I came out to my best friend last night and it went well. I figured that I wouldnt rock the boat with my friends and family if I didnt have to until I found a dude that I liked. We have a hang out every Friday and my best friend and one of my other friends were standing there bullshitting and I was sitting there getting up the courage to do it. When I finally did it was like ripping off a bandaid. The best part is that my best friend was the least surprised of everyone I told and that he pretty much already knew. He said that he figured that I had messed around a gay friend of mine a long time ago anyway. I didn't but it did come close one night way back, haha.

So my father in law quit drinking a dirty thirty a day cold turkey last week and hasn't had a sip since he hasn't dropped dead nor had the DTs and we've been making sure the booze in the house doesn't go missing and that he doesn't have a stash anywhere and everything checks out it's a Christmas loving Miracle, my mother in law was literally about to serve him last week and she and my wife walked in the door to find him dumping beer down the drain and swearing off booze for good
