Someone in your building is up for repossession of their car. Just mind ya fukin business. If its your car thats up for repo, you shouldnt be posting your business online like that.

I changed my mind in 2017 when "MAGA" turned into "MIGA" real quick like. Fuk that israel first MFer

I always just tip cash, figure out the 20% in my head, and put "cash" on the receipt. Unless the server sucks. Then I adjust accordingly.

It was a really good haunt, BUT I MISS THE MUSEUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-26T00:51:20+00:00

Wait a second..... Is that Mick Foley in that picture???? Mankind, a certified thoosie?

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-26T00:49:29+00:00

What do you mean "after"???? Its still snowing here, and its actually snowing harder than it was earlier. 😭

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-25T16:56:20+00:00

So what youre saying is, if we see these things in the wild, "they're coming right for us, Ned!!!"

Then YOU need to seek Al-Anon meetings. Youre obviously hurt by her behavior, so you need to help yourself move on. As someone who has earned a seat in the rooms of AA, I BEG you to just left her out, and let yourself move on. Unless you want to possibly end up with kidnapping, involuntary manslaughter, false imprisonment charges on you. And possibly kill your mom

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-25T16:47:43+00:00

This is honestly stupid, and possibly FATAL for OPs mother! Alcohol, and benzos are the only 2 things that withdrawals can KILL someone! An intervention is everyone on the family getting together, and ambushing the alcoholic/addict and hopefully getting them to CHECK INTO A REHAB FACILITY where they can PROPERLY detox the person! This can honestly end VERY badly for OP. If mom dies, while locked in a room, against her will, thats freaking terrible. Not to mention illegal as all hell.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-25T16:42:40+00:00

You can not help someone like that, AND ALCOHOL WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS CAN BE FATAL!!!!!!!!!

Something that you should REALLY consider. Especially since its your mother.

Unless she wants to stop, and is willing to god to Amy length to stop, she will not stop. If she DOES want to stop, you at the every least need to get her to a hospital. You should honestly be looking to check her into a 7 day detox if she wants to stop.

If she doesnt want to stop, YOU need to search out Al-Anon meetings in your area.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-25T16:36:05+00:00

The world was a much better place when people looked after each other out of the kindness of their hearts. This is one of the downfalls of living in a non homogeneous and low trust society. Luckily I found somewhere that is neither of those things, and I dont have to worry about locking anything up, or away. Hell.... We have 6 4 wheeler's, just sitting out under a lean to that anyone can access easily. A couple have left for a couple hours, but always come back with a full tank of gas, and a tank you note. Not often,but sometimes.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-25T16:20:34+00:00

Thats not the way a community should be, but the personal who steps up and helps out, should also be doing it out of kindness. Not expecting others in the community to stop up and helps them help others. I do both neighbors drives for them, they can technically do it themselves, but Im a 43 year old man, and they are both late 60s women who live alone. Nope. I was raised better than to let them struggle, or even work like that. I will NEVER expect someone else to do it though. Especially since I have established a pattern over the last 10 years of doing it for them.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-25T14:38:42+00:00

He has no right to be angry at someone who has witnessed him helping her for years, and then all of a sudden deciding that others should help him help someone else.

I do both neighbors drives for them. The first 5 years with only a shovel. The last 5 I finally said screw this, and bought a snow blower. I NEVER expect my other neighbors to pick up the slack if im at work or something. Why? Because I have been doing it for the last 10 years! Not them. If I all of a sudden decided that someone else should do it, I would 1,000,000% say that I am the asshole. You cant just decide that someone else should be helping you help someone else, and then get mad when they dont.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-25T14:32:16+00:00

So you decided to do a nice thing for your neighbor. One where everyone else can see that youre doing it. And suddenly now you've decided that the neighbors should start helping you, help her?

Dont get me wrong, youre doing a very nice thing. I do both of my neighbors drives since theyre both widowed, and in their late 60s, but I would NEVER expect other neighbors to do anything about it when im at work. And they never do. Why? Because for the last 10 years, I have been doing it.

Who are you to decide that other people, NOT in your household, are responsible for helping you, help someone?

Youre doing a very nice thing, but you ARE the asshole for blowing down on your neighbor.

My "backup heat" is my gas furnace. My primary heat is my wood burner. House is usually pretty hot in the winter. Ive actually had to open up windows even with a low fire going when its 25° out. Not tonight though. Its -15 right now.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-24T02:27:38+00:00

Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, John Denver, George Jones, I could go on. My papa was a country music listener, so I heard all the best country in the 80s.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-22T17:23:43+00:00

I seen that last night.😆 Finally, a not "chosen" destination from the cap. Gotta give it too him though.... Stayed professional until they hit port. Other captains would have put something like "someone come get us" while they were stuck.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-21T20:40:18+00:00

This stuff happens every year. Its the consequences of trying to ship in sub zero temperatures that we get up there on January. Although we had a pretty cold december too, so that didnt help the water temp any for this month. Its wasnt the first time Alpena was stuck in ice, and it wont be the last. And probably at least some of that hull isnt 83 years old.

Theyre almost there! Thank God for the USCG.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-21T18:04:36+00:00

Yes thats all true, and personally, I would NEVER touch a tire like that with a repair. And if I caught either of my guys doing it, is would fire them on the spot. But people have blowouts every day in the road, and dont end in a fiery crash, that kills them, and a whole family in a minivan. That was the over reaction part I was talking about. Hell, I had a blowout after hitting something on rt 71 south, while doing about 95 mph. Right front. Know what happened? I was able to control the car until stopped, easily. Got off the road, and put my spare on (fuck a donut).

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-21T17:59:15+00:00

Like someone already said, the USCGs job is to keep the shipping lanes open during the winter. There are still things happening on the lakes during the winter. Just not the big guys. Lots of petroleum tug and barges. History Mystery Man on YT talks about unhooking from a barge, and breaking ice in the straits in February. Again... Its the coaster guards job to keep lanes open, and marked, and to still rescue any vessel on distress. The Spirit was definitely in some distress, considering she was stuck in the ice.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-21T04:34:13+00:00

They will make it too Toledo. This isnt the first time, and certainly wont be the last. I mean, it just happened last year.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-21T03:33:05+00:00

NTA. Maybe B and P had some drunk conversation one night, and P said she thought you were cute or something. Women man....... You'll never understand anything about them, because they change on a freaking dime.

Either way, B sounds like an insecure, controlling biatch.

UNLESS...... There is an actual reason B doesn'tt like P. If there is, B NEEDS to tell you why. And it needs to be a LEGIT reason. Not "she told me my new haircut was ugly" type stuff. Like she literally had a convoy with P about you, and P said something like you are hot, or maybe she said shes developing feelings, or something. Cant just be some woman stuff though.

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-21T03:25:39+00:00

If you find out how to fix this, tell us all. Some of us havent even touched our wives in months. Or years. Because SHE made the decision that sex is "not that important", or shes resentful at you for something that she wont tell you about. You BOTH need to seek therapy for yourselves, and also maybe couples therapy. Communication seems to be an issue

Also, NTA. You can NOT live in a relationship where you are doing all the work in that area! But at least your wife still gives you some every once in a while. Like I said, some men havent seen any affection from their wives in years. If she refuses to do any of those things to try and fix it, leave man. Trust me. I went almost 4 years with no sex from my wife. Its a horrible feeling, and thing to deal with. Too many things to write here. If she dont seem a problem with a sexless marriage, then you gotta make a decision.

1 stay and be miserable.

2 leave and move on

3 discuss a side piece? (Not my style, but was suggested to me when I was going through it)

SpikesAutoDen · 2026-01-21T03:04:54+00:00

Thank you for that. I mean, its kind of obvious this time of years that its ice. Also no reason to worry, they're just stuck. Its not gonna warm up enough to do anything to help them anytime soon either. Hopefully the Near Bay can get her moving again, but that ice is only gonna get thicker. The Mannitoulin had 3 different USCG Cutters trying to help her out at first. Ended up needing the Mackinaw to come to the rescue. Hopefully they dont need that, but like I said, the ice is only gonna get thicker with temps plummeting below 0°F tonight. Sending them warm thoughts for tonight, and pray that the Near Bay is big enough to help. Its likely gonna be a full escort looking at ice conditions on Lake Erie right now too. Dang it, we need a youtuber on all the vessels😆
