    I was going through old clothes just this morning, and informed the wife that she was not allowed to go through them and ask if I was really giving this away.

    My wife goes through my clothes and gives them away without asking and I don't notice.

    Income tax seasons during an election year are an absolute beat-down.  I don’t want to hear about the world going straight to hell, I just want to figure depreciation on your new vehicle. 

    Yep - I had one lady a couple of years that "Biden has blood on his hands" because of the Afghanistan pull out and reminded her that Trump wanted the withdrawal a few months earlier than what actually happened. And, I reminded her it wouldn't have mattered who was president it would not have gone well which is why it took so long. 

  3. Nothing planned so far, but I would like to go to Sammy's birthday bash before he can't do it anymore. Saw Jack Russell's Great White last weekend. Band was awesome. Jack was.... a bit out of tune. His voice sounded exactly the same, but only one pitch. Saw Mammoth WVH with Nita Strauss in December. Really good.

    If you're content with atomic radio sync instead of satellite GPS, both Citizen and Casio make more affordable versions of your first watch. Look up Citizen's PMD56 and Casio's Lineage LIW lines.

    The Kabuki Presage looks damn good, but $1200 for a 6r21 movement with +25 to -15 s/day? That's tough to justify. You can get a Tissot Gentleman or a Hamilton Jazzmaster with a superior ETA-based movement for the same price, if not less.

    After looking around some, I have decided I like solar powered plus either atomic timing or satellite timing. The ones that appeal to me are either Seiko Coutura line or Citizen PCAT or Satellite like I've linked to above.

    Any other manufacturers that have both. I did look at Casio/G-shock.

    Those Direnzos sure look nice!

    My wife went to a line dancing class for the very first time last week.

    She got a pair of cowboy boots for the class tonight.

    Any excuse to buy a new pair of shoes.

    Wait until she starts singing "Save a horse, Ride a Cowboy." I'm sure it will all be fine.

    I'm married with a teen and a pre-teen.  I love my alone time.

    We have four kids, all "adult" now. Our son moved out for two years and then moved back in about a year ago to save money and concentrate on college. He's 26.

    Our oldest daughter just graduated from college with a radiology tech degree and is returning for another year to get her ultrasound degree. She got married and moved out about a year and a half ago. Her husband is in the air force about 50 miles away and they currently live on base. Her job is 70 miles one way. He is being deployed next month, so she is moving back in with us for the shorter commute and to save money so when he returns, they can buy a house. 

    Our middle daughter just went out of state for college to be an airline pilot but is close enough to be able to drive back once a month or so without too big of a deal. At least until winter comes.

    Our youngest is returning to high school to get her diploma in the spring. She's had some mental health issues that I wrote about on another thread somewhere and she should have graduated this year. At least she is returning to finish.

    On top of that, we took on a foster child that is 15.

    Just when I think our house might be less crowded, it ends up being more crowded.

    Yes, I love my alone time. When I get any.

    That reminds me of a time when I was out drinking to the point of not being able to drive. Buddies I was drinking suggested getting "Buddy cab" where two people come pick you up and drive you and your car home.

    Anyway, I texted another buddy to ask if he had used it before. Before he could respond I responded "Well, I have now!" Yes, I read my own text to him as it being from him and then answering.

    People who were nightwear/pajamas in public look like weirdos. Because there isn't any in between nightwear and a suit? 

    We went to the local speedway on Saturday evening. Our foster daughter wore pajama pants, fuzzy slippers and a sweatshirt. It was about 90 degrees. I told her it was going to be warm for a sweatshirt, but she said she was fine. Whatever.

    Yeah my old man has a '67 Vette. As a teen I coveted it, but to be honest, I have almost no interest in really driving it anymore. It's super cool, but I'm a bigger fan of brakes and suspension these days. And body material other than fiberglass.

    Same - I got it when he passed away and finally sold my half to my sister because I couldn't stand driving the thing. I'm sure it was great when new, but no power steering, no power brakes, etc. made it terrible to drive. Cool to look at, though.

    To add to this thread, though I skipped a couple of pages, my daughter bought a Kia EV6 last year. It might be the fastest car (at least in a straight line) I've ever driven.

  10. We bought our daughters a 2013 VW Jetta almost three years ago that had been wrecked for a good price and had less than 50,000 miles on it. It had been purchased by a used car dealer that that is all they did - buy repairable cars even though totaled - and had them fixed. We still have it and just drove with the older one to drop her off out of state for college and she'll be using it. No problems insuring it and kept full coverage (not Texas). With used car prices right now, we could probably sell it for what we paid.

    Something tells me he isn't a real priest. Plus, how is it not persecution when someone at the store says "Happy Holidays!" instead of "Merry Christmas!"

    Funnily and coincidentally enough, I just found this in my email…

    Fortunately, I haven't had to tell any clients this is bullshit, but one of my business partners has had to tell multiple clients "DO NOT DO THIS!!!" He has way older clients surprise, surprise.
