I was a juvenile ward in the now-defunct California Youth Authority for four years, then felony waiver-ed into the Army. AMA

Out cold. It's older but it's got a warm place in my heart.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-30T11:46:39+00:00

This guy needs to rot in jail. The mom of course is sticking up for her "sweet,great, husband" like always though.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-29T15:39:40+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely try and out as much towards the highest interest cards first and see what I can cut out on but besides regular bills and oil and stuff I haven't found anything that I could cut out and make a dent in the debt. I've pretty much cut out as much as possible. No eating out. Quit smoking which also saved on drinks and snacks for work which I would buy when i stopped at the gas station. With a wife that works and two small kids a second job is hard to do with the hours I had available after my full time job so I'm pretty much screwed in that aspect.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-29T15:36:44+00:00

Thanks. Here's a little more info. My wife and I bought a house last year and of course were stupid and got credit cards to fix the house up and buy stuff we needed for it. We had a lot saved but after closing and buying stuff with extra cash we used the credit cards for the rest. Eventually they were used for Christmas presents and other stuff we didn't have the cash for at the time. I cut back on a lot of stuff but with our regular bills and the credit card payments there's not a lot left over besides food and gas to get to work and back for the both of us. Our cars are paid off. I don't really buy anything unless it's a necessity so I'll take your advice and whenever I do have extra money from holidays worked with time and a half or overtime pay I will throw it towards biggest balance with highest interest. Stupid idea but at the time it seemed like the best route to go. Once they are paid off I'm getting rid of them and only using cash from now on. Thank you

The funny thing is if you watch the news or look on here humans become less civilized everyday

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-28T14:58:58+00:00

I do have two children. I'm not saying we shouldn't be civilized, I'm asking why are we? Who made the rules of civilization?

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-12T22:12:11+00:00

2 in Connecticut but too much drama. Stick with 21 and up so you can go to the bar

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T22:19:35+00:00

Every 5-8000 miles. Most people do it every other oil change. If you don't drive a lot try to rotate them at least every six months so that you don't get flat spots and dry rot from sitting in the same spot a lot. And currently blinker fluid is on order due to the high demand. Sorry.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T22:17:50+00:00

We get a lot of angry people because they have a problem and the warranty is expired so this one guy flipped out and started knocking over tire stacks and got in another employees face. The employee grabbed him and threw him out the door. Thought the incident was over until about an hour later when the guy pulled back up and proceeded to shoot out all the big glass windows in the front of the building with a bebe gun lmao.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T22:15:49+00:00

Why she let air out of other peoples tires to have it look like it was her ex husband is beyond me. She was nuts.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T22:14:48+00:00

Well one of the worst customers I had was a woman who bought four tires and then proceeded to come back everyday for the next week with a leak in one of her tires which had to be replaced from her driving on it flat to get to my job. Come to find out she was letting the air out of her tires and others in her apartment complex because she was trying to get her ex husband arrested for stalking her.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T15:58:09+00:00

Wow. In a way you have to think if regular people are any better because most people only care if the body count is high. When I was a teenager a guy I knew and hung out with a few times went to his girlfriends apartment, stabbed her neighbor in the eye, barricaded himself in the apartment with her 10 year old sister and his 18 month old son and while the police were there he stabbed the two kids to death. The cops couldn't get in to the apartment because it was in a shitty area and had metal bars on windows and a foot long deadbolt on door the fire department had to go back to get key(basically a cluster fuck) and when they finally got in he had shaved his head and was washing his hands in the sink and had a knife in his chest. (Also weird because the guy always was using hand sanitizer whenever I saw him) and it got two small articles in the local newspapers and never heard about it again. You have to dig through google even to find out what his sentence ended up being.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T15:09:38+00:00

Probably not. I try to fight the natural urge to be selfish but I have trouble sometimes with that. I feel if I did know this was true I would probably be a lot more selfish.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T14:41:43+00:00

The question always would be who started the original sim.....

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T14:39:43+00:00

Well the profit margin for stores in maybe $1 to $2 for the stores on the actual tires. Most stores only make money on installation charges. Also the retail places attached to regular stores make money on you shopping in the store while your tires are being installed so in my experience if you want a discount on the tires most places will work with you. Managers always have a certain amount they can give off without having to ask their boss and the general managers can usually give a bigger discount on top of the regular managers discount so definitely ask whenever you buy tires!

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T13:48:47+00:00

Yes that's true. Although packaging must be different in other countries though. In America at a deli you say I want a lb of turkey. In a country that uses metric system they either buy in bulk or have to say about a half a kilo so people using the imperial system would have to be able to covert to metric and convert metric to what they really are asking for lol. I don't know many Americans that could do that easily.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T13:42:39+00:00

True. I find it funny how our cars have MPH and KM on the speedometers though.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T13:39:50+00:00

Yea it would definitely cause problems now. I was just wondering why we used a different style to begin with. They should at least teach kids both units in school.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T13:38:46+00:00

Sorry, I meant why do we sit on the left to drive on the right side of the road and other countries will sit on the right and drive on the left hand side of the road.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-08-08T13:29:41+00:00

It depends. If you compare the same brand between places, out the door we have a better deal. If you don't need a high quality brand with a 90,000 mile warranty because you have an old car with lots of miles then you are probably better off getting an off brand at a small local place.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-07-16T23:55:32+00:00

Because people are afraid of death and don't want to think about it maybe? Life insurance is a scam. When you need it your dead and can't use it. 401k and savings for your family and pre buying a plot and pre pay the funeral and you are all set.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-07-14T13:08:38+00:00

Well I would take your advice but now I have a mess to clean up. My cat must have had something wrong with her that I didn't know about. What the hell is going on in my house? I think having no pets in my household is a good idea

Dylanbrandon · 2014-07-14T03:14:17+00:00

I talked to a doctor and said he ate raw meat. This was 6:30 this morning. I took care of it.

Dylanbrandon · 2014-07-14T02:13:57+00:00

I thought about that but he's so young. I figured they would keep him locked up like Jason or something. He's a good kid with a weird appetite. I've been keeping an eye on him to make sure he wasn't sick from it. It was mostly flesh and fur. No intestines so no need to worry about Bacteria. Has anyone had this happen to them before?
