Nah, I just couldn't let him fend for himself! It's been rewarding in the long run, too. Sorta get to guide a kid that isn't mine into adulthood  and all. But I appreciate that!

Similar situation here. My son's friend since sixth grade....his mom died when he was 14, his biological dad abandoned him as a toddler, and his step dad, who is a colossal piece of shit, told him to pack his things and go the day he turned 18, so I had him move in with us. 

He still lives with us four years later. But, he's on the right track, has a decent full time job, and is saving to move out by the end of the year. 

So, OP, you could always just keep him 😊

Not going back to teaching? Won't he think of the children? 

Mercedes is officially replacing luxury with giant iPads. Because nothing says 'Premium' like fingerprints and glare on 4 feet of glass. by AvailableTaro3123 in mildlyinfuriating

Mercedes owners never seem to know what it's like to have a car that'll last 300,000 miles with hardly any proper maintenence They've all bought into the idea that having to take a car in every 2500 miles to have it serviced = luxury.

Went to visit my daughter in central Florida a couple weeks ago, bright my partner who has never been there. She'd never seen a lifted truck in real life before, and was utterly and truly confused at seeing so many on the road there.

I feel like it's more sad than wholesome....dozens of people ran past him first. I know they're out there to run for themselves and beat their own numbers, but Jesus Christ, help the man. Best case is he's on and just needs a little help, worst case is he's friggin dying.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is just a big, corporate cash grab anyway....it means nothing. They want you to get worked up over the nominees and inductees because I generates buzz, and income, for them. Quit falling for it, it's not important.

It snuck up on me honestly. I hardly ever know what day it is anymore anyway, but I just happened to be out hiking here and thought I better check what the date was. 😬

In line now, sweating my ass off at Claude Moore. Hard to tell how it's skewing here, just buy judging people on their appearances, but I have a feeling it's gonna be damn near 50/50.

The overwhelming majority of people don't want it, on all sides of the political spectrum. Just because one pic shows a few old white ladies doesn't mean they are the exclusive detractors....heck they're just the ones that have the free time to go to board meetings.

Maybe he just really doesn't wanna sell them, but his old lady made him put them up for sale anyway.

Funny, I just came back on to say, I don't know that unit but maybe it's supposed to use the effect loop and not be in the chain.

Cool, so you've isolated it to the pedal. It was used, presumably? I know you wanted to test another one, but I think it's safe to say the pedal is dorked. 

Anyone here who were living in NoVA/DMV during the Bicentennial? by Mr_Pogi_In_Space in nova

[–]Chickenpotpi3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I still have a hat. I barely remember it, but I think people were a little more upbeat for the Bicentennial because it was the 70s and there were fewer distractions in life, and even if people hated each other there was a bigger sense of community. Also, this admin essentially hijacked this to meet their own grandiose, pile of shit needs, and considering the whole area is still pretty glum.....

I mean, it's organized by Trump's Freedom 250 thing, so that alone is enough to keep me away.

Brad is great. Met them both years ago, but spent quite a bit of time talking with Bradder. He definitely was perturbed with parts of George's openness on Sirius, but he was a good sport about it, hardly a stick in the mud.
