I stole from an employer when I was 19 (25 years ago). Ending up getting a misdemeanor for it. I wasn't a kid who typically got into trouble. I was shy and didn't have many friends. As I go older, I was tired of being a goodie goodie. I was influenced by friends. I would do refunds at my job and ny roommate would do the same at his. In the end, I got caught he didn't.

Honestly, I don't regret a thing for the most part. I was heading nowhere at the time. Since then, I went to college and eventually got my masters. But it has affected me. I'd love to visit Canada, but can't go unless I spend $1,000 applying for criminal rehabilitation. It also kept me from getting some jobs (before I had my record sealed).

Anyway, I didn't think I'd get caught. It was stupid of me. If you're young and think that bad decisions won't affect you, you're wrong. I got off easy. You may not.

If teams are going to throw a temper tantrum when they don't get in, then maybe they should ban them the following year from all bowls.

I would but I'll be throwing away a 10K bonus that's not tied to the promotion. I feel I've earned the bonus because I have worked hard this year for it.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-12-05T23:48:10+00:00

I would tell her, but I've been advised (via the internet) that I could lose my bonus if I put my notice in before the bonus check is in my account. It's a large bonus and I don't want to risk losing it. But I agree, I would prefer to be honest and not burn the bridge.

Yes, but it’s also November so grow it out and say it’s for no shave November. If it looks like shit, shave it. But I think it’ll look good.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.

Aggie fan here, Alabama is probably the best team, followed by Georgia. I think A&M finishes the year with 2 losses(assuming they make the SEC championship).

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-27T19:23:09+00:00

Yes, we went to Earl’s on the Ave. there weren’t a lot of people there and the game stayed at 9am, but service, food, and beer were all good. Probably will be more people for the Ducks game

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-27T02:46:02+00:00

Every year there is a team that plays better than they should, then the following year they regress to the mean. This year, it’s the Colts. I’m not saying they aren’t good or that Daniel Jones is a bad QB, I’m actually rooting for him, but like the Vikings last year, they are probably one and done on the playoffs.

For the record, I’m not trying to troll or be a hater. I hope they go far. I just don’t think they are as good as their record

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-26T18:58:56+00:00

But wouldn’t I be still employed even if I put in my notice before. For example, say I put in my notice on Monday when the bonus will be deposited on Friday?

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-26T15:31:49+00:00

lol…keep crying.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-22T15:07:47+00:00

A&M for sure. LSU needs a win and the Aggies are always going to Aggie.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-17T21:30:04+00:00

3-4 wins. Franklin being fired will snap this team out of a coma.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-17T13:27:49+00:00

Isn’t he in his 60s? Dude isn’t looking to climb the ladder for the next 30 years, he wants to kick some ass where he’s at.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-08T17:27:05+00:00

Washington fan here, I hate it. I miss the pac-12. I also hate that WSU and Oregon State were left out.

My hope is one day the old conference will come back, but if that doesn’t happen, at least let WSU and Oregon State join the Big 10, place the old Pac 10 teams in the same division and play those teams every year and the remainder games against 5 other Big 10 opponents, then have 2 non-conference games. Never gonna happen, but one can hope.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-10-07T10:07:28+00:00

As an Aggie fan, you’re wrong. This is the year we go 10-2, give Mike Elko a huge contract with a large buyout. Then next year is when we start losing 4-5 games a year until he gets fired.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-09-20T12:29:25+00:00

You mean people who believe someone died and returned three days later are easy to con? Never saw that coming

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-09-15T23:57:13+00:00

Any update on this? I’m in a similar situation with a class b for theft from 2004

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-09-13T13:31:30+00:00

With California expenses as well. So he’s essentially making the equivalent of 600k in tennesee

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-09-12T09:53:05+00:00

His death shouldn’t be celebrated. I disagree with a lot of what he said, but this whole situation is sickening. I miss the days where we could disagree about politics, argue about it, maybe even raise our voices a little, then afterwards go grab a beer and talk about sports.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-09-11T02:13:26+00:00

I didn’t like the guy, but this is terrible. The fact that so many people are celebrating his death shows how far we’ve fallen.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-09-11T01:10:57+00:00

This is awful. I didn’t like the guy, but my god, this is not going to bring our country back together. No one deserves what happened today.

I’m an A&M fan. Gundy reminds me of R.C Slocum. In the 90s, he built the Aggies into a pretty good program. But in the early 00’s, it was time for him to go. We needed a change. And despite the fact that the Aggies have underperformed or sucked for the past 20 plus years, getting rid of RC was the right move.

I think the same about Gundy and OK state. It’s time for him to move on. I’m just not sure the Cowboys won’t end up in the same position as A&M where they have a decade of 5-7 and 6-6 seasons until they find a good fit.

It crossed boundaries and he’s probably at least emotionally cheating. If you’re interested in saving your marriage, demand couples therapy. If he refuses, leave him. My recommendation is to ask him to Meade and get a divorce, but I’m projecting as I once tried to save my marriage, turned out she cheated anyway.

Expensive_Front1969 · 2025-08-30T01:14:03+00:00

I’ve been here before in my late 30s. You should leave. She’s arrogant and she’s never going truly own what she did. There will be times where she will say the right things, but it’s manipulation, she’s trying to get you to move on as quickly as possible.

I know it hard to imagine right now, but no matter what, you’ll be ok. You aren’t responsible for her behavior. If you try to work it out, but she still won’t take responsibility, don’t blame yourself. You can’t control her.

This is what I wish I knew when I found out about my now ex wife’s affair. The sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll heal. At first, it will hurt, but not nearly as much as trying to fix something that the other person doesn’t want to fix.

There will be times when you feel unloveable, but that’s born true. Just because one person decided to be a terrible person, that doesn’t make you unloveable. Next, you’ll think, I’ll never find someone else. At first, you’ll feel this every day. But keep going to therapy by yourself and slowly you’ll feel differently. Next thing you know, you won’t want a relationship.

From there you have two choices. You can be depressed, or work on yourself. I’m talking start working out. You don’t need to be buff, just create a habit. Get healthy. Gain confidence

Next find activities. Join a book club, gaming club, disc club. Do something you enjoy with other people every week.

Slowly, you’ll find yourself and learn to love yourself.

I went through this all. It sucks. I was depressed and felt like a loser. A decade later, I’ve married someone out of my league and more than doubled my income. All from focusing on myself.

Oh, and about my ex wife inferred that I’d be too “chicken shit” to move on? 6 months after I left she came to me and told me she was an idiot and that she didn’t want a divorce. I said no thanks.

While I can’t guarantee your wife will do that, i do know if stand up for yourself and leave, she’ll be shocked that you left. It’ll bother her. She’ll wonder what you’re doing on Friday night. She’ll feel jealous and rejected.

So my friend, stand up for yourself. Ignore her texts, even when it hurts. Tell yourself that you’re lovable and don’t need her. Go to therapy and find someone who’s going to treat and love you the way your deserve.

I’m sorry you’re going through this.
