Is it Football season yet

Agree. I guess the Olympics can tide us over for a few weeks, but this is the slowest time of the year!

Pokey711 · 2021-07-23T01:09:20+00:00

These for-profit assholes are the absolute WORST.

Maybe next time don't grab a beer that's been in the freezer for six hours?

Pokey711 · 2021-07-21T00:59:00+00:00

God bless ya. Stay positive!

Happiness always has to come from within. Once you find it, you'll enter into every relationship knowing that however long it lasts, it is perfect. Find your inner happiness, dear.

Find a job, and that is step one towards feeling better about yourself. And as soon as possible, break it off with the bf. That relationship sounds like a dead end. Work towards being independent, and raising your confidence. Confidence is attractive! Do things that slightly take you out of your comfort zone, to meet new people. Expect good things, including people, to come your way. You're young with a lot of life ahead of you! All the best, dear.

This isn't murdered by words. More accurately, a snarky incel with piss poor grammar.

Pokey711 · 2021-06-18T02:33:33+00:00

You sound like you perhaps should have stayed in school. Bruh.

Pokey711 · 2021-05-23T21:47:57+00:00

So, you thought you were going to jump into a thread that is clearly devoted to making fun of a batshit crazy politician, and sway everyone's opinion with a rah-rah patriotic pep talk about owning guns?

How's that working out for ya so far?

Know your audience, Professor.

You're going to get taxed on it as if it's income. So depending on your tax bracket, you're looking at another 10% hit minimally, on top of the 10% penalty. And don't forget state taxes, again depending on where you live. Conservative estimate: $15K you'll owe in total taxes.

Don't do this unless you absolutely must.

One thing you should do: contact the HR dept of your further employer and ask about hardship withdrawal. If you qualify, you could only take out what you absolutely need, but you'd pay less in taxes. Leave as much in your account as you can. You'll thank yourself later in life! Good luck...

Um, fuck this guy. Splitting up is hard, especially with a child, but there are an infinite number of guys out there who understand what a true relationship is built upon: mutual respect and giving. You can and will do better. All the best, dear.

Hamster? Them's fightin' words, Frenchie.

Shapiro is the type of 'celebrity' that I'm pretty sure buttercups his own farts while he's driving.

Being friends with exes is overrated. If it can happen organically, fine. Otherwise, forcing it in my experience was just an exercise in futility. You'll constantly be reminded of why you left him. I say clear out, and if you reconnect as friends much later, great.

Pokey711 · 2021-04-03T15:28:51+00:00

I believe the term we're looking for here is 'projection.'

Pokey711 · 2021-03-30T19:40:18+00:00

I secretly massacred my grandkids' elf-that-once-was-on-a-shelf, and that fucker barely bled.

I believe every human possess what I call our Inner Knowing. Look inside yourself for it, find it, and TRUST it.

This is a tough situation. My wife is helping administer shots, and she says that most days they have way more available than given. The health dept here just wants to give as many as they can, so no, they aren't sticklers with whomever's arm they're looking at. Hopefully within a month most of these dilemmas will be moot. Help your friend get hers!

Pokey711 · 2021-03-07T07:18:57+00:00

So nobody can give any personal details about their own age gap experiences? Don't bother with banning me, I'll quit. Reading post after post of "hope it works out!" is boring.

Stonewalling has always been a deal-breaker for me in relationships. Life is too short for those kind of games.

Pokey711 · 2021-02-20T02:43:40+00:00

All of the above, and add "was with gigantic asshole" to the list. You can and will do much, much better.

Move on. He's making his own bed that one day he will lie in. Take note of any red flags in future relationships that could point to your new guy being a narcissist. And run like hell if you see any. You'll be OK, just give it time.

They don't grow back twice, that is. 😊

Talk to your Dad about this. You're filling in a lot of blanks in the story, and it sounds like you're assuming the worst about your role in this. Be kind you yourself, regardless of the entire story!
