    I know this might sound a little funny, but do some hard stops in reverse too! I heard it helps reset or does something to the master cylinder to help firm up a squishy pedal.:anonymous:

    Some vehicles if you do some hard stops it activates the abs which can get an air pocket in them thus releasing it being able to bleed the system and get rid of squishy pedal.

    I may have resembled that a few yrs ago with 2 storage buildings full of car and motorcycle parts and too many projects to finish! It's worse than a crack addiction.

    So I just heard what I thought to be 6 gunshots near my house. Sounded like either up the street or the next block over. There's a park across the street with a man playing with his kids on the playground. I look out at them and they're still playing like nothing happened. Now I'm wondering if A) was it actually gunshots B) is this a normal occurrence around here (been living here for just u see 2 months) or C) did that guy on the playground do the shooting!?

    And, my girlfriend really pissed me off. She flew down to DC to meet our friend for the weekend. She was supposed to fly back to Boston today, but she changed her flight to tomorow and said shes going to the casino across the river. I said uhh how about changing your flight to Philly and taking the train here to see me. I haven't seen her since Christmas and it was 1.5 days. She spent the rest of her week with her parents.

    I think I need to make a decision, one that I don't want to make.

    So I'm rehabbing my house. I bought a 3 family property and I'm living in one apartment. I have a toilet and kitchen sink, but no shower (I've been showing at work). Just to give you some background...

    She said the house is a mess and theres no shower and she doesn't want to sleep here. I said we can certainly get a hotel room, but she would rather go to the casino than see me. Not to mention, I've texted, called her, emailed her this past week with no response. As far as I know, she's very focused on her job. Every time we talk, all i hear about is her job and thats about it. She's rarely asking about me and when we do talk about my life, it's very short lived.

    And please don't feel like you need to hold back on what you might say. Chances are I've already thought it or said it.

    Sounds like she has already somewhat moved on...:confused:

    Although if my wife and I were to ever split, I wouldn't even try to date in this day and age..I'd just stay single...

    Yea it does seem that way, that she's is moving on with her career and nothing will be in front of that. Her mother is a very selfish person and I don't think it was very windy the day that apple fell from the tree.

    has it always been like this for the past 6 years? Like, she doesn't have any interest about you and what you are doing? It really suck that she don't even answer you. I can get that she is busy and focused on her job but still... she ain't on the moon!

    this went through my mind also... but why would she hurt him if she know it won't work anymore?

    Damn. That is a really long relationship. I think that she may not have "discovered" herself when you first started dating and now she has explored and is really getting to know herself. This sucks as it means ya'll are in different places in your lives as it appears in your few words you have said. But this is just speculation. Without knowing you or your relationship it's hard to judge. I wouldn't read too much into it yet, but try and go visiting her and see how she responds to that.

    Not really, she always would talk about her but then I would talk about my day and so on. It was normal. She even would come to my house flips and help work on them with me so that she could spend more time with me!

    Yeah, it might be reading too much into it. This has been festering in me for a while now. Ever since she moved (Oct 1, 2017) I've been thinking this won't work out. Self fulfilling prophecy? Meh, maybe. I haven't been to Boston yet, maybe it's time for a long weekend.

    It would be a great idea to visit her and talk about this, even if it is not a nice situation, but you can't close your eyes and do like if there is nothing... if you feel so also! If you want this relation to go on, or if your mind is set.

    I've been through a hard moment with my gf last summer, been close to finish it and sell the house but we talked and fixed what we had to fix. Heard from a few person that sometimes woman don't really want to face the situation and will just let it drown until the man gets tired of it and decide that it is the end... maube she is there, but you can still save it, if you feel like you want to
