Damn...you win lol

 

What sucked most about that is feeling blamed, as a teenager, for the crap between your own parents.

I remember my mom and dad arguing over the phone every other day, arguing about custody, and how she was crying every time she got off the phone. Being the oldest, I was pretty much the scapegoat and was treated way different than my younger siblings.

That sucked for years but it's really made me a much better, and stronger person in the end. Some of that shit never goes away though...

Being a military brat, my dad was always out as well. It was mainly because he was on deployment, being an infantry soldier.

Each time he'd come back, he was a bit more distant. Drank and smoked a lot, I'm talking 2 packs a day of Marlboro reds.

He did try to connect with me but by forcing me into every other sport you could think of; baseball, soccer, football, even martial arts and boxing. Only thing I stuck with was boxing and kick boxing which I got good at.

After the split and all, my mom and sister were just like your own mom and sister. Took my mom quite some time to become independent all over again, but my sister never picked up on it.

All she does is work a minimum wage job and smoke weed all day every day. She has no desire to become anything or do better for herself and it doesn't help that she's got a low life piece of crap boyfriend she's still with.

This is the same guy who's house I went into and threatened because my brother had told me that he was physically abusive with her at one point.

The shit we do for family huh?

 

I have full 4 bars of 4g right now and my speeds were less than half of yours, I don't really know how this magic sky wizard stuff works anyway...as long as Netflix, TW and pornhub work I'm good

 

Nice, and AT&T at that.

 

Ditto, I try and use Wi-Fi whenever possible too for security reasons...have had my bank account compromised one too many times over the last few years and I suspect it might be connected to how much more frequently we shop online using our phones now. Never had an issue getting reimbursed, thankfully Chase is really good about that

 

Doesn't sound harsh to me, sounds like the blunt truth lol

You just reminded me to set an alert for myself

 

Do yourself a favor and cut that all out. Curt makes a plug-n-play version that doesn’t require splicing.

 

I just had, a customer, give me a kiss on my neck when I hugged them.

I've been here +7 years and I've never had that shit happen...wtf?....

 

"Them" is so androgenous.

 

Sweet... timing belt kit came today

Crank shaft pulley bolt should be here tomorrow

 

front door knob took a shit so I took the opportunity to replace the front/back door hardware with nickel to get rid of that ugly brass. still need to do all the interior hardware

 

hahahaha that must have felt so gross

 

Lol it was a female, and she's really pretty. She looks a good 10 years younger than she really is.

 

maybe they were on autopilot and didn't even process that you aren't their SO

 

Truth be told, she was in service waiting for her oil change to get done.

I had helped her and her mom out some time back about an issue so every time I see her I say hi.

Sat down and talked a bit at the lounge area; I flirted a bit, but it was innocent. She reciprocated.

It wasn't until we got up, since her vehicle was done, that she gave me a tight hug and a peck on my neck. I was like wtf

Just walked away wondering if that happened, even though I know it did because the hug lasted a second or two longer than one of those "oh hi" kind of hugs.
