1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Wow, congrats to them! Someone wanted to show up to the party early it seems haha. Hope all is well.

 

Yeah we were told first kids usually arrive later than expected but then were surprised 2 weeks early

 

Just got a call from him. Hopping it all goes well!

 

I suppose like most things, you can have an idea and a plan but nature is going to stick to its own schedule.

 

No baby yet

In fact, she was about to be discharged and her blood pressure suddenly went up

I genuinely believe the relief of going home was what got her excited but now another hour of monitoring

Really thinking he won't come until tomorrow but if they keep toying with the idea of getting discharged, she might get annoyed enough to say fuck it

 

No contractions at all either nor has the water broke at all

 

Yeah we got bounced back home twice until contractions came at a certain rate, almost decided to just wait in the parking lot rather than make Rebecca endure another ride home, every tiniest bump she was screaming at me to slow down lol.

 

This is fine

 

Well get up there and break it yourself?

Y'all thought you were gonna see the miracle of birth instead you got the DMV waiting room 30mins before close. I'd sue the kid, real world sneaks up on ya fast anyway.

 

Lol was this with the tacoma? She doesn't mind the land cruiser.

 

Oh god no that would have been unbearable I'm sure, this was in her Accord we had at the time

 

The got you here was that I brought the wrong vehicle LOL

When they said another hour, I rushed home to fill up her car with gas, threw our packed bags in, and head back.

 

When your water breaks at an inconvenient time but you're married to a welder

"Oh no you won't"

*fixes leak*

 

In honor of this we had Dave's Hot Chicken when we got back from the desert today and suffice to say I was dilated within the hour.

 

The extra welder sold

 

That was fast!

 

Speaking of things that have sold, how's your truck sale going?

 

Is the bracket broken or just loose?

I've got two extra '98-'00 bumpers. The OG one from my truck (which has a hole in it from a prior owner's fender bender) and a clean one I picked up to replace that. I think both of them have broken side brackets (the ones by the fenders). It seems to just be how these trucks go.

Anyway, I decided to run a 4Runner bumper because I think it looks better, so I don't need either of those. LMK if you need parts.

 

I don't get why the scam listings always ask for either $800 or $1000. Sure, you want to make the ad appealing enough to undermine people's better judgment, but I wonder if those numbers are more effective than, say, $2k-4k, which would actually be somewhat plausible.

Also, maybe get a picture of the right truck.

And maybe list it in "Cars and Trucks" instead of "Auto Parts".
