The stock Scion box isn't that much more expensive but I'm more worried about it breaking all over again and rinse/repeating. Sounds like a plan, reviews are saying the DC is really good quality for $150. Also pretty happy with my new commuting bitch so far, didn't really want an automatic but it shifts pretty drat good for a probably ancient design four speed.

I was worried I'd owe a few thousand. It'd be a bit lower if I'd kept better track of mileage.

Fast food places are all awful with awful products and like 90% of their appeal is nostalgia from when you were a kid and your parents were just too loving tired to cook or just wanted you to shut up for five minutes and eat your drat chicken nuggets. So it's really no wonder they have trouble expanding beyond traditional geographical areas in large pushes. It has to be slow growth over decades, like a tumor, otherwise the kids that grow up with that brand aren't there to support them and prop up their awful shitburgers.

I don't feel like typing it again on mobile, so I'm going to paste my anonymous confessions post: I've cheated on my fiancee/gf of 7 years. She was a hoarder, and OCD. We've spent years "fixing" her; reducing the number of stacked boxes in the house, learning that you don't have to soak the dishes for exactly ten minutes before putting them in the dishwasher (hell, even using the dishwasher was verboten for the first five years), and it's okay to throw away trash. I've convinced her to get vaccinations and yearly flu shots, and to go to the dentist, both things she'd never done before. But, I'm tired. I just turned 30 a few months back, and have no college. I'm in an okay industry right now, but I make garbage pay (48th/51 states/territores for my job) and want to move on and take the next step in my field, either through doing a 3-4 year degree program, or one of those 18-month expensive associates fast-track programs. Either way I move ahead with life. She does nothing but hold me back. Refuses to work more than part time because it might mean losing one of her clients. Is "satisfied" with an inner-city apartment in a dangerous area. Doesn't understand that you need to pay down your credit card bills, not just pay $70/month and spend the residual $50 you get back after interest. She eats nothing but frozen pizza and spaghetti, unless I cook. And, even then, everything I cook gets a healthy coating of hot sauce or ketchup. Taste the ingredients! I usually give up and eat garbage, and it's really hard to motivate myself to be better with a person so depressed around. We took her to the doctor for the first time in her life much earlier in 2016, and she immediately was prescribed heavy duty psych meds. She's tapered back from heavy-hitting drugs into lighter ones, like prozac, and I'm not discriminating against that. They make her sane, and things are better. An unfortunately killed sex-drive, though, but I'd rather have sanity for her over sex. We work together on so many things, and I'm willing to do anything in the world for my fiancee. That is, except spend the rest of my life together with her. She wants kids, but knows I had a vasectomy. I had it because I could pass on a genetic condition, and was always willing to adopt, but much later in life than she wants (she wants them now, despite only paying 1/4 of the rent and me picking up 100% of the rest of the bills). A few weeks ago, a coworker confessed that she was having husband issues. She had separated from him once before, over the summer, but had gotten back together. To her relief, her husband asked for a permanent separation right before Christmas. We were becoming good friends before that, and even did a campout where it was just the two of us. No sexytimes happened - it was more of a mental healing getaway, for both of us. Really fun, and a good night's rest. She has two younger kids (around 4), but that's fine. I'm not afraid of them, even though it's a huge change. Last weekend, we got a hotel room together. If I had the money, I'd leave right now. But as it is, I sit here picking up extra shifts to save emergency moving money up, and hoping the GF doesn't notice any weird texts. Whatever punishment I get from her when she discovers, I'll take. I have an RV-style vehicle to live in, say in a gym parking lot, if worst comes to worst. The confession is, though, that I feel no guilt about what I've done, and what I will do. Life needs to move on, and we're not a good match. I feel more guilt about not feeling guilt, and don't know if that's the right thing. Note, it's been a few weeks since. I'm moving out on the 20th or so, she doesn't know at all, and to make it worse, her birthday is the 14th and her client (in home healthcare), who is also get best friend, is dying.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Denying your child the chance to hear music is possibly the worst thing you could do as a supposedly loving parent. This. I can understand the whole deaf culture thing but music is so amazing that I can't imagine life without it, and would be desperate to share it with my child. Hell, I am and do. My daughter has had to deal with multiple instances of me sitting her down for an hour and going through the history of one band/artist/genre just so she really gets it. The cool part is that as she gets older, even though she protests at first, she appreciates it. Last year I made her listen to Pink Floyd The Wall from start to end and as we got to "goodbye cruel world" she was so involved in the story she actually gasped and went "OH NO!" and started to choke up. It was an amazing experience, and I'm not even a big Pink Floyd fan, but I appreciate what a landmark album that is. Other "sermons" she's had to deal with: Best of Depeche Mode Michael Jackson and how amazing talent can come from a really hosed up life. Janet Jackson with Paula Abdul side trip The evolution of Rap from rappers delight into Gangster Rap into modern rap White people trying to steal rap Best of Crowded House I was a Christian in high school so that's why I listened to Stryper, now you have to too. Epic rock songs of the 60's/70's (Stairway to Heaven, Iron Man, Pinball Wizard, Baba O'Riley, Dust in the Wind, etc etc etc) The drummer for Def Leppard only has one arm! Boy bands are a marketing gimmick for dumb young girls, just look how the formula never changes. No you weren't supposed to like it and I won't buy you Justin Timberlake paraphernalia. Butt rock of the 80's, Oh great now you're a Cinderella fan. Grunge of the 90's When I first heard of Die Antwoord I thought it was a joke but god drat look at some of what they do now. Why Insane Clown Posse should be harvested for their bacon and then discarded (Fuckin magnets! How do they work? is a running gag between us). In addition to that I continue to discover good music, I buy 30-40 new albums every year. And I share it all with her, she has over 5000 tracks on her iphone that she genuinely appreciates, all from the last decade. And I will do these things till I die. Metal Geir Skogul posted:my anonymous confessions post: Sorry to hear that, although I'm a firm believer in getting out when you know you want to get out.

Thanks. Yeah, from the moment I say anything, I'm giving myself 24 hours to go, and whatever is left behind is left behind. And I feel like poo poo cheating. No sex since February was rough, but also not an excuse for cheating. Nothing is  E: def won't tell about the cheating. That would be needless salt into the wound.

That's a pretty brutal situation overall MGS. Yeah, you shoulda left before you cheated though because that poo poo can gently caress someone up. When an ex cheated on me it slammed me right in the sadbrains and I was in a pretty dark place for over a year. I dunno what you're planning but if you can get away with it, don't tell her that. Just don't. Tell her anything else. Suffer the guilt on your own and consider it penance. That requisite scolding over, I have been on your side of things too... uncannily similar to my last relationship of 3yrs. The mental/health issues, the extremely picky eating, the OCD, no sex for the last 9 months, all of it and much more. I woke up one morning and realized how unhappy I was, and how I wasn't helping her anymore - instead I had become an enabler who shut his mouth backed down to avoid conflict. She was unwilling or unable to meet me halfway on the few things I tried to stand up for myself in. It was horrible - I found myself increasingly attracted to other women but I couldn't bring myself to leave her for things she couldn't help. Finally one day she threw this tantrum/ultimatum re: starting a family in the next X months and that was the open door. I took it. The thought of bringing a pregnancy and child into what our life had become was unthinkable. It's a horrible situation man, and I feel for you. I'm still dealing with my own emotions and thoughts in the wake. You're welcome to PM me if you wanna shriek into the void about anything.
