Tide posted:I know. And I know taking the nuclear option isn't the way to go. What frustrates me is that she doesn't seem to care. I suppose I would be sympathetic if she showed some resemblance of being concerned about it. Paint it as concern. Tell her that you want her to live healthier. Do you have kids? Tell her that you want her to live longer for them. Do you know of any diseases that run in her family, like heart or kidney disease of diabetes? Educate her on how to reduce the risks. Invite her along when you go to the gym. Invite her to do physical activities, like hiking or biking. A risky one is to fawn over some old photos of you two, and say, "We looked so good back then." It's important that all of this is about WE and US, not YOU. It's about the two of you together. It's not just her problem. It's not going to be pretty any way you put it, but I hope it works out for you.

Tide posted:Good advice that has all been tried and thus far not worked over the last few years. I've especially laid it on thick about being around a long time for our kid (and grandkids). I've tried that and bribery (trip back to Europe, new wardrobe, etc). Nothing works Bribery? Oh boy. Y'all got some serious communication issues. Please try couples counseling before you try ogling other in-shape women. Maybe the counseling would help your wife as well. Obesity in women often comes hand-in-hand with a lot of other issues, such as insecurity, binge eating, emotional eating, and a host of other weird poo poo. My sister, my mom, and I have all lost significant amounts of weight, and tackling obesity was more than just tackling how we ate but also why we did it (spoiler alert: it's daddy issues). My sister and I both did the keto diet, which is neat because you can still eat a lot of tasty things. It's a hell of a lot more fun than obsessive calorie-counting. There's just over two weeks until I leave for California. I'm loving stoked as hell to drive the Viper.

I might be late but I'm always down to help out with the CarFax cause with my dealer account. I don't have PMs anymore though so you'll have to post them here.

ssjonizuka posted:Thanks for the offer - I ended up pm'ing the guy from SA Mart. For <$7, I'll eat that and be shocked and amazed carfax thinks I've ever replaced my turbo. Now where did my pile of receipts go, because I know that's never happened. Carfax's reliability is iffy. My workplace uses Autocheck on our cars because we've found it to be more reliable. I had a customer today who insisted that the Autocheck and CarFax weren't enough and demanded the phone number of the previous owner.

I've had several cars with clean Carfaxes and accidents on the Autocheck, and the other way around. It's best to pull both if you're worried. A PPI will tell you way more than either of those either could, but customers have been trained to believe that the CarFax is the end-all be-all of car history and the only important thing.

STR, you should really get yourself into rehab. Addiction of that magnitude is not something to gently caress around with, especially when you are replacing one addictive substance with another.

Cat Terrist posted:No, a castrated WRX motor. Also with soft rear end suspension, a CVT and all the driving enjoyment of loving a dead hooker. The modern XT is just not in any way a mildly interesting car anymore. The new Forester appeals to my inner lesbian AND my inner soccer mom, but CT is right. It's a poo poo-tier enthusiast car and a shadow of its former self.

I got promoted to manager of our business development center at work. I'm excited about the pay raise and the new responsibilities, but I'm more excited about never having to work past 6 pm. Catte chat: I went to go check out some dogs at the humane society yesterday, but after considering how much of a pain in the rear end Harry is around other dogs, I've decided to get some cats to keep him occupied instead.

Is that still individual customer facing stuff (probably not if you don't have to work past 6) or more higher level marketing? I still handle incoming phone, email, and chat traffic but now I get to oversee two employees. I'm going to train them, keep tabs on them, keep tabs on how the sales consultants are handling the internet customers, and listen to all of their crybaby bitching about how so-and-so gets all of the leads.

There's a contest going on at work right now, and I joked that second place would be a set of steak knives. First place is borrowing one of the company's vintage cars for a weekend up north, and that actually seems more like a punishment than a prize -- there's a nonzero chance of getting stranded by some of those cars. My friend got to take the company FJ60 home for the weekend. I'm super jealous.
