Rhyno posted:My wife and I have been having some rough conversations about cutting off her incredibly racist extended family. She can't bring herself to do it since both her parents have already died and she's unable to deal with the emotional baggage of kicking them out of our lives. I just had to step my entire position back to avoid a full blown fight the other night but we can't tip toe around it much longer. Dude just do it, we've said before that you don't owe family anything just because you're related. If your wife needs reassurance have her talk to a therapist I guarantee a therapist will tell her the same thing. The temporary "emotional baggage" pails in comparison to continuing a relationship with toxic people. Naturally she will feel bad about it at first, but those feelings will disappear with a little time. Been there.

Rhyno posted:I know this, she does not. She's never had to excise a poo poo family member before, let alone 7 of them all at once. For now the compromise is i dont have to go see them and they are not welcome in my house. Yeah that's a good start at least to try to keep yourself sane. For her it might take more time for it to pile on, and then there will be one incident that eventually puts it over the edge for her.

None, it makes me stronger, because I deal with the poo poo, but still recognize it's poo poo. Bill Burr explains this perfectly when having to get rid of his dog, most men tend to bottle it up and just add it to the "shelf of anger"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoxIrm95E4Q I'll admit that I'm guilty of this, but the angry outbursts aren't quite as bad as they used to be

I dunno abut a hoax, he'd be better off pointing out he never got it to begin with if he was going to spin "it's not a big deal" [e] Plus if he was gonna do that it would have been earlier in the pandemic so he could have time to "recover", not right before the election in the middle of debates where he could possibly lose votes CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:The best outcome is if Trump has a tube down his loving throat Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Oct 2, 2020 |

I originally bought a gun for "protection" because I live in Florida, we get lots of hurricanes and in the aftermath of hurricanes there is almost always issues with looting. Hurricane Andrew years ago was particularly bad in that regard and it left an impression on me, lots of people just trying to survive through it were victimized. But once I got it I also realized it was pretty fun to shoot at targets, then I met my wife and she had guns and we went shooting together and it was fun

fridge corn posted:Is it a Testarossa or a 512 TR cuz the former is a bit poo poo and latter a much nicer car to drive Interesting, I've never even heard of the 512 TR so I had to look it up. I don't think we ever got those in the states, did we? So it would have to be the former and even tho it's a bit poo poo it's still one of Ferrari's best designs imo. [e] looks like we did get them, never knew there were different generations of the Testarossa that's pretty cool, there's also a third gen F512 M that look to be pretty rare.

BigPaddy posted:My wife has a lot of back and joint issues that caused her to have issues sleeping. We bought one of those nectar mattresses and it has helped her a lot. Any of the memory foam ones should do and they are not too bad price wise. I had a memory foam (tempurpedic) and it just made it worse because they don't offer enough support, your body "sinks" into it. I need a mattress that's stiff as a board to support my back or it's no bueno. We're thinking of sleep number beds now, that way at least my wife doesn't have to suffer as well.

Put my Wrangler up for sale today. I'm kind of sad about it, but I just couldn't drive it without the anxiety of feeling completely exposed and vulnerable in it because of my accident. especially with my son riding along, I felt very uncomfortable driving in traffic and all i could think about was what if there was an accident. I thought i was over it but I guess not

trouser chili posted:I get it, man. I sold my motorcycle this year due to similar feelings. Took a year of just staring at it in the garage before I did though, so good on you for being more decisive. Well I figured I'm not gonna pay insurance to just let it sit there and take up (limited) space, might as well just get rid of it. I gave up riding motorcycles a long time ago too when i moved here, the area I live in is just too dangerous for riding and it's not all that fun to ride around here anyways. Not worth the risk. Hang in there dude, the pain and healing really sucks but it will get better, just focus on that light at the end of the tunnel and before you know it you'll be out of it.

Sorry about your buddy Rhyno, hope he recovers quickly and hope they catch the bastards that did it. Anyone else here play guitar? I've been dabbling for awhile off and on, I mostly play the drums, but I've always loved messing around with electric guitars and I'm finally going to treat myself and get an actual real USA made Gibson and not a Chinese version. Then I'm gonna spend some more money and get an actual good amp and have some sort of real tone. This is kinda like going from a Corolla to a Corvette in car terms

Started removing tile from more than half the house in preparation for new flooring. What a pain in the dick, I'm trying to mitigate the dust the best I can but it's still everywhere. Been using a giant Makita electric jackhammer that weighs a ton and my back is killing me already with only 1/4 of it done. It will be awhile now before my house is no longer a construction zone, next is painting the ceiling, walls, and baseboards then ordering the flooring and having that put in so it's gonna be awhile

trouser chili posted:Newer doesn’t always sell on me. Here’s my thoughts on it: I don't know about the bronco being a depreciation machine, if it's anything like the Wrangler (it is) it's going to hold it's value well. Also will have a warranty. That being said no way I would buy a first year model of anything, I would at least wait until the second MY.

Me too, I have a disability hearing coming up in December and depending on the outcome I either have to find a basic part time job or start all over again with a full time gig that involves almost no manual labor at all because my back is hosed. I can't even bartend anymore because leaning over sinks and coolers all night long completely screws my back. I could fall back on my security experience but working graveyard shifts loving sucks when you have a family, and most places now want you to carry which I'm not comfortable with and even if I was I'm not getting a permit because I have a Medical Marijuana ID. To top it off the VA has decided that Tramadol is a controlled substance and won't prescribe it to anyone with Marijuana in their system legal or not. I been using it for over ten years now and suddenly I'm a drug addict that can't handle it I guess. It was the only poo poo that helped me without being horribly addictive but apparently idiots are abusing it now and people like me get screwed in the process. Yippie.
