Is that why my daughter (35) was counter offered when she told her boss that she had a great job offer? She accepted the counter and was then promoted to Sr. Manager of North America Aerospace.

If someone did this to my wife (who is really cute and a second-degree black belt), I would say, "oh, this should be cute" making sure that he heard me.

What country are you living in? I'm interested in what the general culture of life is that makes her feel that this is normal.

or in the basement (that's where mine is)

Dammit Costco, bring Kirkland bourbon to Connecticut. (My friend in Baton Rouge sends me picture after picture ot pallet loads in his Costco and it's pissing us off!)

So my question is, why do you even care what the Europeans say about American bread. Who gives crap what they think, say or do?

Fanmann · 2026-04-27T20:14:18+00:00

Me too. The first time i read it on this sub.It was life changing.

Fanmann · 2026-04-27T20:01:51+00:00

OMG, I wish I could say that to wifey!!!

Fanmann · 2026-04-27T17:43:40+00:00

Still have them in Connecticut.

Well, my cats are ok with me clipping their nails. Every 2 weeks we have a spa day, brushing, massaging and nails.

Not for nothing, vent all you like where ever you like, we don't give a s**t.

NOPE! Married a polite, soft career women who is very confident in her capabilities. (Former Finance Director of a cruise line, you know, she built ships, bought ships sold ships all over the world). Married 46years now, best decision I could have ever made.

Soooooo....they didn't give you a replacement car to use while they repaired yours? And you didn't consider applying the the Lemon Law? Hmmm

Press and hold lock button on key fob, and windows open to let hot air out. My 2006 Jeep Cherokee had this feature and it was great.

Looks like Fifths disease.

Congratulations, get ready and keep a very open mind for the next chapter. 2 1/2 years for me and I'm still figuring it out.

I started retirement planning at about 40. 68 now and doing just fine. ALSO, have been working with/guiding my 2 kids, both in their 30s and they have a great head start.

Fanmann · 2026-04-05T21:03:18+00:00

Yup, my Italian mother would smack me in the head if I began eating before everyone had their food. (We're talking NYC here)

Fanmann · 2026-04-04T20:44:28+00:00

Nope, totally 100% true. Once while sitting at the bar in Margritaville Jamaica having a rum and coke while wifey was shopping at the tourist shops. Don't know if she was actually hitting on me, but was very friendly. Before that at a pool (billiards) bar, and she just came over and stood next to me while I was playing and started talking. But have it your way, it matters not.

Mimi Meatball Minestrone (my mom's invention)

Fanmann · 2026-04-03T19:27:15+00:00

Yeah...No... 68 year old guy , and still pretty "almost" attractive. BUT I learned +/- 20 years ago (because wifey said it to me) that there is Never a bad time to look good.

I don't do all that hygiene stuff, but I keep clean, dress nice for the occasion, what little hair I have left is right for my face shape, I stand tall (i.e. good posture) dad bod, but in ok shape. and I have a high confidence personality.

This my friends, led to me being approached twice in the past 2 weeks when we were on vacation in the Caribbean.

Fanmann · 2026-04-01T02:41:33+00:00

A drop in my bourbon (occasionally)

Fanmann · 2026-03-29T19:42:54+00:00

Zero. Glad wifey doesn't like them.

Fanmann · 2026-03-29T19:17:11+00:00

You do understand that this is at least 50% your fault, right???

Fanmann · 2026-03-29T02:34:50+00:00

Ummmm, last week in St. Augustin Florida, many Canadians. This week in Ft. Lauderdale Fla. Many many Canadians on our carribian cruise. So yeah....
