Parents have been divorced more times than I can count, so I thought I'd never get married because marriage and relationships were not something I saw as a good thing as a youngster. I realized that I don't have to grow up to be like my parents but it still it makes me weary because divorces suck. I've been married for just a couple years now and can't imagine life without a partner. It's weird, we don't have the same interests and hobbies but still have a ton in common.

I still don't have sex because the 6 month old taking up every waking minute, though. :v:

Can anyone comment on how terrible new Malibu's are? Even with a discount code, the rental price almost triples when going from a "full size" to a "premium" car, but anything up to a full size is the same price. I just have to hope they don't stick me in the most beat to poo poo car they have on hand, since I will be picking it up at SFO and dropping it off in Phoenix.

They're decent and roomy in the back seat for full sized adults. If you get the 1.5L it's a bit under powered IMO but totally fine for rental duty and daily driving.

My brother went through this as well, almost died. Had to have surgery and can't drink at all now. It was good for him in the end but the "wake up call" didn't last long. He still does dumb poo poo and blames everyone but himself for his issues.

Yeah I would probably opt to import myself, mostly because at least the ones from Japan aren't going to be rust heaps like they are in Canada. It'd also be fun to grab something like an old ute from Oz or a JDM from the UK but I suspect those are going to be significantly more expensive + the importation process to be more difficult for ~*reasons*~

I'll have to do more digging when I'm closer to the possibility so I don't do a bunch of research, sit on it for a year, then have to redo it

So are you obligated to stay thin and healthy for you SO? Or if you get fat is that grounds for them to bail on you? Because one of my high school friends is in a really bad place because her husband left her. She has put on quite a lot of weight and has been unable to lose any of it. I guess he just packed his poo poo and left and his reason is "she's too fat to have sex with anymore."

I just hate that as I get older (only 32 :smith:) I am less able to exercise due to pain. Can't run anymore, been taking the last few weeks off because I think I hosed up my back at the gym and feels like sciatica again. Gonna be a fatty in no time.

Remember Ryan White, the famous kid with AIDS? We moved to central Indiana at the same time as his family. My new school thought I was him and put out a memo to all teachers (without doing any research as he was several years older than me). Thus began three solid years of extreme bullying. I was taunted with chants of AIDS-BOY and brutalized. I can't even remember the number of times I went home bloody. It never stopped, not until we moved away. The school did nothing and we were unable to find a lawyer who thought we could effectively sue over the memo.

So yeah, you'd think I'd have gotten my hands on some guns at some point right?

Goddamn. I was too young at that point to know about that. Pretty hosed up though what kids will do.

It's going to get dirty, scratched, pooped on and something in it is going to break. Might as well be driving it when it all happens.

Yup, this. It's never going to stay perfect forever. Unless you need to rent something bigger to carry poo poo for a long trip, drive your car.
