Frick 'em. You don't need these people in your and your wife's lives. Cut them out and cut them off. You owe nothing to family when they act like this, and, perhaps I'm out of line, but the rest of the family should be calling out their heinous act but aren't, so you don't need them either....
[quote]I wasn't much concerned with grades but was an A student at a very large high school my first three years. I had made a single B in biology as a freshman. Moved and as a senior attended a small high school, with a graduating class of only 46. Two otherwise goofy girls had 4.0 averages while t...
[quote]I can never understand how a man is ok with some other dude screwing his wife. I just can't fathom the thought. [/quote] I would assume it's because he gets free rein to do as he pleases in that department....
Somebody miscalculated the volume versus price on that endless shrimp. There had to be tons of customers coming in and knocking the bottom out of it. The bell curve has shifted on the all-you-can-eat customer....

Fingers crossed we don't see another round through daycare; had that a few months ago....

[quote]Agreed. That's not really a weekend trip to me. Ours is 400 miles one way. You almost have to take off Friday or Monday to get all of the stuff done that you didn't because you were traveling (laundry, errands, yard work etc). You can do it and be back at work Monday morning, but it sucks....
[quote]I thought going once a month was a good compromise, I'm actually shocked how many folks are saying to just go [/quote] It is a good compromise. I'm advising going unless the fallout of not going is worth it to you. I think it's too much driving in too short a time frame, and the conve...
[quote]I’d go on this trip to keep the peace and then talk about the longer term outlook of taking that many weekend trips to see her family when you get home. That doesn’t sound sustainable to me, at least while maintaining any semblance of an independent social life. I actually had a similar si...
[quote]Brother try an 8 hour trip on a weekend. 3.5 aint shite and you're a pussy.[/quote] Haha. Strange flex. You're not a hero for driving all weekend. ...
No, I don't think you're wrong, but, like others have basically said, is this the hill to die on? I'd do it, but then I'd lay out your case about needing down time and having the time to get things done. Trying to do you weekly job and get all your house stuff done between traveling weekends is no f...

[quote]Kettles actually work pretty well as a smoker if you are willing to baby it every hour. Best turkey I ever did was on a 22" Kettle with a Smokenator 1000[/quote] I have a 26" kettle that I use as a smoker from time to time using the snake method with the charcoal. Works pretty well. And...
[quote]If two able bodied and able minded adults can’t generate enough income to simply feed their family (as in being able to purchase food) then it’s a safe assumption they are lazy as frick. [/quote] No, it's not; not many assumptions are safe. He's explained it, and you're choosing to double...
[quote]Why didn’t your mom get a 2nd job? Or a third for your dad? Why didn’t your dad get two better jobs than the two insufficient ones he had?[/quote] I missing the part where you a part of this at all. You're leveling criticism where you should be leveling praise. Both parents did what the...
[quote]It's not easy for anyone to reduce the comfort level they're accustomed to. People aren't willing to raise children with less than they had or to reduce their own accustomed comforts. Nobody wants to take a step back simply for procreation. Like I said earlier, I think it's short-sighted but ...
[quote]Its that simple. They factor in needs as necessities then complain about things "costing" more.[/quote] I think you need an edit here. Needs are necessities....
I get it dude. Living to work isn't the answer and sucks, but humanity has had to work to exist since the dawn of time. 9-to-5ers weren't a thing, but you most definitely were doing work daily. Do what you have to do; then do what you want the rest of the time. As the great Frank Costello said to...
[quote]That’s pretty good stuff.[/quote] Right on the money. Don't forget about the students who are paying good money being prevented from operating under proper educational conditions. These self-entitled babies couldn't care less about the rest of the student body....

"Death smiles at us all; all a man can do is smile back." Life is most definitely fragile, and you, I, and everyone that has been, is, and will be are a small matter set against the grand scheme of things. Yet, in the insignificance the you that never was and never will be again is here now with ...

re: Do you sleep with the tv on?

I may fall asleep, but likely won't stay a sleep. The light and/or noise will wake me up for sure. Dark, cool, and maybe white noise for me....
