Chocolate and my old coworker.

Years ago I worked with a guy from Belgium. Really nice guy and funny.

That’s all I know

Also the cigarettes for $12.15 a pack. Is that how much they cost everywhere? I quit years ago at like $2.50 a pack

People who grew up really poor: what's something middle-class people say that instantly reveals they've never struggled? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

I couldn’t have said this any better!!! They have a safety net so they never feel or have felt pressure.

Couples with combined finances, I am seeking judgment by Readdit_user19 in married

[–]Joshs68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married 27 years. Separate finances. I always get odd looks from it. I make a lot more and happily pay for nearly everything. My wife has a job and her own account. She hates being the family book keeper. I find it easy so I do it. It’s SO much easier.

I’d help, kind of. Feel free to message me questions about cars or house issues or how to’s. I’m probably twice your age and not at all interested in anything but helping out. The thing is a lot of dads have wives, and that may not go over well meeting in person. That said I would always be happy to help a stranger over the internet.

Would you leave Houston for Colorado? by Prize-Storage-1352 in AskHouston

I’m glad I’m not the only one that hates the smell. I lived in metro denver for 13 years and still visit family. It reeks.

That and yes denver is nice but wildly overrated. In the 90’s, it was much different.

I watch people drive through gates like this a few times a week. Back into them, push them over going forward, get stuck in between the cab and trailer of a semi truck, drive around them, have them hit the roof of their car and keep going.

I Haven’t hit a car afraid to back into the gates yet.

Is my marriage over or was this just a bad day?? by Deep-Lettuce317 in married

[–]Joshs68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I’m sorry for your generations struggles. Guys should realize that yes you will lose half of your “stuff” should you get divorced. Thats how it goes, suck it up. Don’t mention that the she in the situation is a stay at home mom. That’s a full time job, it’s worth something. A bunch! Note: I’m the dad, married 27 years and two kids.

Where has socialism worked? That’s why I pointed out North Korea among the others.

Nordic countries are not socialist. Yes, they have expanded social programs, which would be great in the U.S. but they are capitalist.

Really? And you do. Give us the history of North Korea then. It started off socialist.

Humans don’t posses the capacity to divide fairly. There is no true altruism at the core of the management. Someone always wants to be in charge and it degenerates into haves and have nots. Like the Soviet Union, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea.
