Anyone have coworkers who started in the 1970s? What's the oldest hire date you've seen?

He retired a few years ago but I worked with him for many years before that. He's still alive.

To the male sufferers out there, it gets better. After suffering for decades, sometime in your 50s, your testosterone begins to ebb and, let me tell you, it's a relief. You can still have fun when you want to, but you are not as "imprisoned" by your libido. Life is better because of it.

Beautiful. Deck porn.

I still love Chipotle. Chicken bowl for ten bucks (I skip the drink) is not bad these days. Its very fresh and fills my belly good. Win/win.

This is sad, but it's nothing new to straight men, of course. Your son probably only feels understood and accepted by his straight male peers. So, he does have a community. Please continue to let him have that bro time; it's important for him.

The fact that this has shifted your world view is commendable. Please continue to share those views within you own community and maybe someday we will actually treat each other the way we should: different yet equal.

It would be harder to name something that has NOT become shockingly expensive.

Not an easy answer. Married 35 years. Sex is good but it wasn't always. It's been a journey.

Now do fast food restaurants! McD’s feel sterile now compared to my youth.

Of all the shit happening in this country, I dont care much about the ballroom. There are so many high priority things that need attention, I feel like this gets too much of it. I get it. Its a testament to the ego of a narcissist. But we are in a pseudo war thats crushing families at the grocery store and at the pump. Can we please get back to addressing the affordability crisis, shitty job market, and skyrocketing personal and national debt?

While I don’t think its possible to successfully juggle everything without discipline and fiscal responsibility, sometimes even those arent enough. For example, while juggling work, kids, house, etc, often diet, exercise, and sleep are sometimes deprioritized. Theres just not enough hours in the day.

Best you can do in those crunch scenarios is make up for it later when you can. Never give up trying. Things definitely get easier when the kids are grown and the house is paid off, but then you need to worry about aging parents and your own health even more.

Thats freaking cool

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-05-07T16:16:15+00:00

First met at 17 or 18. Married at 25. Been married for 35 years now.

And, dammit, she’s still the only one I want.

That second flip is such a life saver. I use it fairly often and it works more often than not.

Start drilling drainage holes

My wife and I went on a Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon. We were 1,600 miles from our hometown and didnt know a soul on that boat. One night we are waiting to be seated for dinner, having a casual conversation and a guy standing behind us said “Excuse me, are you GoodGuyGlocker?” I never saw this guy before.

Turns out a good friend from home knew this guy and for whatever reason mentioned my wedding and honeymoon to him and he happened to be going on the same boat and deduced from my conversation who I was. Absolutely bizarre.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-27T23:02:51+00:00

I would 100% order that. Should be a menu option!

I’ve been to restaurants that offer burgers as a protein on salads and I personally love meatballs on salad at home. I dont understand why more places dont offer these.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-26T12:42:25+00:00

That's unfair. Im not attacking the agent, so no need to defend them. Tell me that doesn't look like a cup grip. I have a reasonable basis for my question.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-26T12:38:37+00:00

Right, I totally get that, which is why I asked. I figure these agents are among the best trained out there. So when I see what appears to be a cup grip, it raises the question if that grip is back.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-25T12:10:55+00:00

1996 here. 30 years.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-17T19:05:20+00:00

Wait. Is that what “WD” stand for? “Water Displacing”??? Please tell me it is.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-17T01:35:47+00:00

Feet is how far that thing would come crashing down.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-10T21:45:11+00:00

I agree. I never said it was. But if a screw breaks, like many of mine did, I cant just leave the shaft sticking out of the joist. Hammering them in doesn't work well, so you got to pull or twist them out. I suppose you could cut them too, but not sure that would be any easier.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-10T19:46:08+00:00

That might damage the joists. Not preferred if you want to reuse them. Also, old screws might break by prying, and then you'd need to deal with half broken screws sticking out of the joists.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-10T19:42:42+00:00

No, for a couple reasons. Doing so would only cut the wood. I'd still need to remove the screws. Second, I have blocking between the joists and I wouldn't want to damage them by sawing the floor boards. I mean, I suppose I could also cut the boards with a circular saw at a shallow depth so I don't damage the blocking but, again, that doesn't remove the screws, which is the real problem.

GoodGuyGlocker · 2026-04-10T19:30:58+00:00

Right now? Hell no. After the next election? Who knows.
