You broke the hood struts because you were pissed at your ex-wife and not paying attention, or you broke the hood struts, and then your wonderful children arrived and you realized how good life was? There are two different stories here, and I can’t figure out which one is happening.

I think it was the brand new car pulling up that I had to give away and she is supposed to have them u til Monday or Tuesday. It was total stupidity on my part. Super happy to be home with kids.

But I was ball deep working on my wagon and I just hosed two brand new hood struts because I was so frustrated. No point in posting this except to vent. Kids can replace hood struts. They got tiny little fingers for the clamps.

everdave posted:I am guessing you are like me and this setback doesn’t affect your life except this being so lovely. I would die before I ever ripped anyone off is what I guess I don’t u derstand the most. Absolutely. It's more about the no-longer existing friendship because of it. I mean even if I was somehow able to completely forget it happened, the fact that they actively avoided contact with me even after I told them multiple times after they hadn't paid in over a year, that I just wanted them to communicate with me and let me know what the gently caress was going on. I miss playing darts with them several nights per week.

I had 2 friends stay with me for almost a year on and off. At the end they stole $2k in cash from me over the course of a month when I was asleep, then when I confronted them, they broke in and stole another $8k in electronics and jewlery. Both went to jail for it, one was beaten until he lost sight in one eye and was raped repeatedly. He asked me how I felt knowing that when I ran into him a couple years back. He didn't like my answer of "nothing at all". gently caress people who betray your trust like that.

everdave posted:I feel the same. I hear a friend needs an alternator I’m at their house putting an alternator in (that they bought) because why have them spend $300 extra when I can do it in an hour? I only have really 2 friends out of dozens if not 100+ I could count on if I needed something (which I try to pride myself on never needing anything from anyone). Oh yes, this. If I have the time, I don't mind at all helping people with work or advice, especially if it saves them a bundle. I just about fell off my chair when a former co-worker told me what he paid to have his winters/summers put on. We did it in the work parking lot in half an hour, he saved half a day's pay. Same thing with borrowing tools. Make sure I get it back the way you got it in a timely manner, and my toolbox is your toolbox.

Hell, our neighbour is currently in the process of upgrading his water storage from above ground poly tanks to in ground concrete tanks (gain more storage and you get a 4mx 8m area of your yard back too!) and hes stuck between getting rid of the poly tanks and waiting for the concretes to be installed. We depend on rainwater for anything inside the house, so he would have been stuck with no water, so we simply told him to fill our two tanks to capacity with whatever was in his tank, and we're running a hose between our house and his house feeding water to them. Dont expect anything in return, but he chucked 20L of diesel he had left over from the excavator hire my way the other day to say thanks. Its amazing how many people are gobsmacked that we would help out a neighbour this way tho. And Its slightly backfired on him, he's now gotta buy a new water pump. Theres nothing wrong with his old pump, its just we've got the biggest single phase, non vertical shaft Grundfos pump on our house so the shower blasts out at 5 bar, and his wife has suddenly discovered what showers with real water pressure is like!

Taking the maximum dose of cipro to make my oversized bollock chill out has utterly sideswiped me to the point walking to the shops wrecks me for a day. Sucks, but seems to be making a difference now so hopefully the port engine will stay in place. Missing work is gonna add to a backlog of stuff but, poo poo happens. Felt well enough this morning to at least go put the recharged but pretty much hosed battery back into the a4 with the help of my son, who did everything but the heavy lifting, and then we checked/topped up all the fluids and checked the air filter and belts out a bit. He's got an assesment to look into asd traits next month and it was really nice to see him hyperfocus so happily on something, he was so satisfied and happy when it was done and working as expected I was wiping back a tear or two.

I’m not sure I’ve ever tried a Longmorn. It’s a bit hot for whisky drinking here at the moment, but we did just have a 6 pack of the Ardbeg Kelpie Committee release mysteriously turn up at the bottle shop I work at. It was supposed to be ‘sold out’ months ago so I know where one of those is going…

I hear this story and it’s sad to be apart but seems like it’s okay for living a fruitful life with good experiences for those you care about. When my last grandparent passed (paternal grandmother) I wasn’t that sad. I don’t think I cried that much. She was wanting to go, she was ready. She had a great life and the last couple years were drawn out longer than she wanted. I miss her, but I don’t miss the state she was in.

Cementing my status as the best uncle   2 snow racers in the trunk and still enough room to stick both nephews in there. I had to pull the spare out to avoid strapping one to the roof, it has this neato spare tire lock that makes the nut just spin on the rod that unless you unlock it.  Also a suicidal stamped steel bumper jack that puts thousands off pounds of car on one little notch and one little peg.

Some wingnut turned my hose on full blast and soaked my deck (and left it running, Sever winter weather warning tonight) and a bunch of other neighbors (not discovered until after I got cops out). Stupid me had the cameras turned off as family is visiting and I was getting dozens of notification them going in and out. Cop told me they think they know who it is but can’t tell me. He said dont shoot him if you see him in yard but otherwise call them and then shoot him if he tries the door or approaches threatingly. I got cameras on and kids asleep, looks like I’ll be up late tonight. This doesn’t happen around here. Cops will be here 2-3 minutes if I need them. No I don’t want to shoot anyone before someone says something. everdave fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Jan 8, 2018 |

Decided to make Swedish Meatballs with noodles/green beans tonight. Got to the sauce and grabbed the broth my wife grabbed at the store. Before I could catch it, I realized it was vegetable broth and poor quality vegetable broth at that. I continued on hoping to somehow save it, but I took one taste and threw it out . My only solution is to replace the noodles with rice and teriyaki sauce- if we have any.
