You can non emergent hotline for FD to come by and take readings. Don’t gently caress around with LP or NG if you think something’s off.

My first wedding I barely slept the night before I was so anxious. By the end of the night I pretty much passed out. It was a great party, but it was a really long day.

My second wedding we eloped, and that was so much better. Takes tons of pressure off, and you’re not spending most of your night trying to talk to a hundred different people. Just get married, take some pictures, then back to the hotel for some champagne, cake, and other fun times.

This is more or less my weddings story except I was 17 for the first one.

I had more sex in the 12 hours after my wedding than I'd had to that point or have had since in any given week in my life. It was pretty nice.

I had the neighbor come over and he said he could smell the same thing outside so don’t think it’s coming from the house but we’re calling the FD anyway in case there’s a neighborhood leak.

Time for a new goon spreadsheet. Perhaps something like tidal charts.

I’m loving all the time: hosed this morning hosed this lunch, etc. will I gently caress this evening?

NO! That’s Zelda time :c00lbert:

Long story short on our wedding, we consummated the marriage directly after the ceremony in the middle of the day.

All of our friends didn’t have sex on their wedding day.

We’re the only couple still together, so my unscientific advice is to take the skin boat to tuna town, slip her the old salami, take a ride on the wild baloney pony on your wedding day for future bliss.

I don't know ... we were both making pretty good money at the time, the only things we paid for out-of-pocket with our wedding was her dress, the church rental, the limo and her ring (the rest I bartered with ads in the magazine I was running at the time), and we were legally married from July 2007 to February 2020, though separated in April 2018.

Our problem was that we got married when we were babies. I proposed in January of 2006, when I was 21 and she was 22. In July 2007, when the actual wedding happened, I was 22 and she was 23.

And then over the years, we just became very different people with very different goals, and after I got sober in 2009, she couldn't blame my drinking for the problems in our relationship anymore.

Anyway, she's remarried and good for her, I wish her the best. I haven't seen her since the day our divorce was finalized in court ... Valentine's Day, 2020.

the gop has no interest in actually cutting social security, because the gop is dependent on old people to vote for them
even the verbiage given to putting some of it into the market back in the 90s was met by strong resistance within their own party, although al gore's "lockbox" metaphor has stuck around somehow

medicare is in more trouble than social security

if you want to theorize about the ways the republicans will gently caress up everything, there's so many other places to point to that are actually real, from environmental catastrophe to doubling down on violent racist policing to rolling back civil rights, you don't need to do their jobs for them and scare people about social security going bankrupt so they'll vote for spending cuts on important programs or believe that there's some kind of link between the national debt and the funding shortage for ss and medicare

meanwhile i encourage every american to save for retirement, if you can. bernstein's "if you can" is easy and quick reading that gives an introduction to what to do and I really appreciate the basic sentiment of not shaming people for being poor, just laying out in an orderly manner what you should do, if you have the money to do it

Gotta complain about this here because I’ve complained about it to anyone who would listen and I’m still irritated as gently caress about it!


Garage is full of Holiday decoration totes we don’t have room for, and GF has a few furniture pieces in her apartment yet we don’t have a spot for, but don’t want to get rid of, so I leased a storage unit on Saturday AM.

She got off work and we went to her parents to borrow her dad’s truck and loaded all of her poo poo into that and filled my car, drove out to the storage unit, and that dumb dipshit mother fucker never set up the access code he gave me, so we were stuck with our collective dicks in our hands and had to talk her dad into letting us dump all of her poo poo off in his garage until we can contact them to get it straightened out. Which won’t be until Tuesday because of course it’s Memorial Day weekend and I can’t contact anyone.

But of course I got an automated text asking me to leave a review. You darn tootin’ I’ll leave you a review! :fuckoff:

Today has been thrown out of whack because I fell asleep on my sofa last night. Almost missed my haircut appointment, didn't start mowing my lawn until it was the hottest part of the day, still waiting on a chuck roast for get to temp on the smoker before I can turn it into chili tomorrow.


Luckily the pork chop I got on clearance was disocurse:. Sous vide with maple syrup & salsa verde, then served with purple asparagus and roasted coral & morel mushrooms.

Luckily climate catastrophe is 12-17 years away so don't worry too much about Social Security. Also please buy my book entitled "I hope your parents funded your Roth IRA annually from when you were 14 to your current age of 50 and you also own property, because the GOP will certainly never gently caress over people reliant on social safety nets as they have always been on board with supporting those things and not giving the money to tax breaks for the rich before"

Our wedding was very cheap, maybe a couple thousand if you include my dress. We only paid for the dress, the flowers (came from Winn-Dixie) and the tux rental really. Oh, and the photographer who was just a local person. I think she charged me $250. SB’s parents made and bought all the food, the church was free, and we had no frills. It was a daytime wedding on the Fourth of July. He was 23 and I was 22. It’ll be 22 years ago this July 4.

This is almost exactly how my wife and I did it too (only that we got married in the courthouse and had a reception in the park so people could have a place for their kids to play)

It'll be 10 years in a couple of weeks, so we've got a ways to go to get to 22 :)
