I am genuinely interested in the logistics of this:

Did you go for a piss every 20mins, throughout the entire evening? Do you have a TV mounted above your cistern, so you can follow the plot?

Do you have a bladder with a gallon capacity and spend a solid 10 minutes doing your impression of a firehose at the end of the night?

Or do you simply wander around your yard for the entire evening, with your cock out, simultaneously drinking and leaving a trail of piss?

This is why I never understood drinking (loving expensive) beer at sporting events and concerts. You're spending half the time standing in line to take a piss instead of enjoying the event you paid a lot of money to go to.

We almost bought a house near Buffalo for the same reason, cheap, lots of sq ft and land but then we saw the loving ridiculous NY property taxes and remembered we'd have to actually live there in the poo poo weather and said yeah no thanks we'll just keep our little house in FL :v:

Hmm, that reminds me, I have an old Sony high end CD player from the early 90's that ran when parked but isn't working anymore. Is it worth it to get it fixed? I'm sure just getting it diagnosed locally is gonna cost at least $60 or more....Any good places online i could ship it off too? Anyone here wanna take a shot at it?

[edit] and by shot I don't mean literally shoot it ok

So an old "friend" of mine I ditched back in the 90's because he was a fake shady rear end in a top hat just got arrested for defrauding a bunch of people for over 200k, and I'm having a really hard time not being all :smug: about it because my brother still hung out with him and didn't get what my problem was with him.

Charges are Scheme to Defraud, Grand Theft, and Theft from persons 65 years of age or older, guess that means he'll be going away for awhile?

Oh and he's a single father with sole custody. I always knew he was a piece of poo poo.

I'm starting to think about importing kei cars from Japan and selling them over here in the US. The volume will be tiny, one car at a time and it will be exclusively kei class since that's what I've immersed myself in. The only international port in Florida they seem to be able to be delivered to is in Jacksonville, on the other side of the state from me. This means I have to figure out how to get them from over there to where I am in Sarasota (south of Tampa) and I've been looking at towing vehicles and what is needed for that. So far it seems I can expect around 1500 pounds for a tandem axle trailer (with brakes) and kei cars themselves never weigh more than 2000 lbs. As for vehicles with which to tow the trailer with I would like an SUV instead of a pickup because at least I can seat more people in it, where as if I want a pickup I'll just get a kei truck. I've been looking at J80 Land Crusiers (and the LX450, same truck) and second and third gen 4runners. I like the 4runners because it's less truck than a land crusier and they come in manual transmissions.
Is there anything I'm missing or have extremely wrong? I'm wholly ignorant on towing and what I should expect. I also want to do it right.

I would think that a J80 or LX450/470 would be more ideal for towing than a 4Runner. The big Lexus SUVs can be had cheap with higher miles, but as you know that doesn't really matter for the right truck. I would take the Lexus features over the Toyota all day long, tow in comfort gently caress it.

Pretty sure the reason I'm so hesitant to go for a 470 is because I feel some sort of disgust by becoming 'one of them' in a typical giant Lexus SUV fashion. That's all in my head though and it does make more sense to get a newer more comfortable Lexus. The sc300 has spoiled us so much that I've swung hard toward Toyota so in a sense I'm already one of them :v:

That's how I first kind of felt about LS430s before we got one. But it was such a good car for the price there was no way to pass it up, we love this car. And of course, most non car people have no clue about luxury car depreciation or think the car is brand new, so we had people asking us when we won the lottery or if we got a inheritance and poo poo like that :rolleyes:

I say check them out, if you gotta drive to Jacksonville and back might well be as comfy as possible.....Can't beat those seats :)

I pretty much am HR. I've banned the person from the store by they are screaming that I am a bigot. It's a very touchy subject. The mall where the store is located has refused to take this seriously as well. I've been keeping quiet this but the stalker has contacted the ACLU over the banning and it's starting to get extremely frustrating.

Tell the person to gently caress off and that you are done with them, don't be nice or cordial at all, and if the ACLU comes asking (lol) tell them what happened and there's nothing to worry about.

Mall security will have to trespass the person, get with them and bribe them with a sandwich or something.

I'm walking on eggshells here. I just don't want this to blow up. Since my first post I have left the store for the night and dude and his friend were driving around the lot and loving followed me. I had to do some evasive work to ditch them.

You bounced before, you should know that pussy footing around doesn't accomplish anything with idiots. If you havent confronted him/her already you probably should, lie and tell them the police are investigating or something, any kind of bullshit story you can think that will scare them off. And then work with mall security to try and get them trespassed from the mall, that way if they show up the police can arrest them.

A factor here is the apparent willingness of his stalker to try and call him a bigot because he's rejecting them. That can only happen because the examples he's given are a gay man and someone who's transgender, so it's relevant for it to be included in the explanation of what's going on.

It's relevant in his explanation, I just think you shouldn't be afraid to reject someones advances because you're worried about repercussions based on their gender/race/religion, whatever. The whole situation is ridiculous.

No offense, but roller derby is kind of a dumb sport to participate in unless you can afford getting injured. My wife got out of it after three girls on her team broke ankles a few weeks apart. Not worth it, ankles and wrists are always the first thing to go.
