  1. Never thought I'd be a boot wearer but here I am. My friend's dad was a western wear/boot guy, born and raised in SW Oklahoma. He had a pair of boots he wore for years until they had just worn out. My buddy went to a Lucchese outlet and got him a pair that was as close to the same style as he could find. His dad appreciated them and wore them once but said they just weren't the same. So my buddy took the old boots to some boot wizard, said the guy looked like he just fell out of a covered wagon and had all these ancient looking leather-working tools. The boot wizard took a couple months but got the old boots back to almost new. His dad nearly wept when he saw them. The new Lucchese's went into the closet until his dad passed away a few months ago. My buddy can't wear the new boots, but I can, so he just gave them to me. The model is the Bart, super pointed toe but IDGAF, they feel nice.
  2. My current dogs do this right now. You want to take them in and relive those memories?
  3. We have a clock in the living room that doesn't chime but it makes a sound, seemingly every 5 seconds or so, that sounds like a dripping faucet. The first time I heard it I thought we might have a plumbing problem but no, it's just this fucking clock.
  4. I would go further and say you deserve to be swindled for everything you own.
  5. I'm not normally one to stress out but when there are things that are beyond my control and I just have to take a bite from a big ol' shit sandwich, I get stressed. The last 2 weeks, my daughter's car has been acting up. Long story short, I'm in for $3000 already and after we picked it up yesterday, it's still fucked up. Dealership is doing and saying all the right things (you won't have to pay any more money; here's a free loaner car) but I'm frustrated and worried about her getting to work. She seems to be taking it ok but who knows. I've never really taken a "mental health day" but I feel a strong urge to do that tomorrow. Honestly, I really want to go to Top Golf and just mash the fuck out of my driver for an hour or two. Just burn off some negative energy, maybe.
  6. It reminds me of the idiotic women on facebook who are always calling out their "haters" who post stuff about them. Never names any haters but trust her, they exist!
  7. Both of his parents made it into their 90s, I'd be cool with those kind of odds. My mom died at 58 and here I am at 50, freaking out.
  8. I feel the same way when someone says "brutal murder" or "brutal rape". Unless you were drugged or drunk, that rape will haunt you forever. Seems brutal by default IMO. Same with murder, you never hear a newcaster say "A man was gently murdered in NYC tonight".
  9. I dropped off a package at the UPS store. As I was walking towards the door, I see a small woman approaching, carrying a large box. She has a child following behind her, also carrying a box. They were a good 30 feet away as I exited the store, so I waited and held the door open so both could enter. Not only does she refuse to acknowledge what I did, she had a look of distain on her face, like "Ugh, this asshole!". Now, I'm not asking for her to get teared up and act like I just saved her from a rapist, but you can't even mutter a simple "Thanks" ? What a bitch.
  10. Time for you to check back in on the divorce thread.
  11. Luckily, I'm ambidextrous and can play pocket pool with my left hand. But my point stands.
  12. I bought a pair of sweatpants/joggers on the Nike app and when they arrived, I found they only have one front pocket. I double checked the pics in the app and it's not a manufacturing error. Who the fuck thinks that pants have "too much" storage, that you need to remove one of the front pockets??? There is a zippered pocket that runs down the side of the leg that you can use for your wallet or phone but it won't work if you want to put your hand in your pocket. Or don't want to have to unzip your pocket just to get your phone out. What a fucking stupid design decision.
  13. I have the same feeling about the SB, so at least I'm consistent.
  14. As a 49er fan, I want to be optimistic but we haven't won shit in 30 years. I smell a loss coming today. Hope I'm wrong.
  15. I think they even made a hit rap song about it. "Trust the Police", I think it was called. Some young lads from southern California, my memory escapes me.
  16. Yeah, I hate to sound like a douche but I always thought she was fine as hell. Why couldn't I have married her and ol' Scotty hitched up with my ex? Then we all would've won. Well, not all of us. But I would have.
  17. I knew exactly how it felt when I went to work all day and then came home to handle the kids by myself as she went to night school.
  18. Oh, they did. It was large and made of pine.
  19. My mom said I did a great job and looked nice in my uniform, so you can go to H-E-double-hockey sticks.
  20. After working in law enforcement for a short time, I realized that many of the people involved just cannot be trusted to do the right thing (or the smart thing) and that the death penalty needs to just go away. That being said, I don't buy the whole argument of "OH! It's so much more expensive than a life sentence!". And the reasoning is always the cost of appeals, lawyers, judges, investigators, etc. Those fuckers aren't gonna suddenly be out of a job when the DP goes away. They'll still be working on all the other crimes that don't involve the DP. Shit, they'll probably be happy to have a couple of cases taken off their backs.
  21. Interestingly, she's not the first actress to OD and die in that same shitty suburb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Plato
  22. Oh, these types of interactions are 15+ years ago. I haven't spoken to the bitch in over 3 years. My current wife encourages me to go do shit with my friends. Amazing what marrying a normal person can do.
  23. But when I asked her why it was ok for her to go out drinking with her friends on the weekend while I had to stay home, she just ignored me. But God forbid I want to play golf on a saturday morning. Fuck I hate her.
  24. I did this with my ex-wife and she just screamed that I only left early to get out of my responsibilities as a parent.
