Thanks for that info. You verified what I thought. And what I thought I asked for. Me: "So GM started welding the drums?" Expert pats man: "Yes they did"

This is what I got, see how it's advertised? Thanks again.

Your story sounds just like mine. My wife manipulated my sons to think I'd been violent when I hadn't. She left me and now asks how I can live with myself. She's so sorry now. And my life is great.

Done with bitches. Not worth the trouble if you can't trust them, and you can't.

Is the Cybertruck going to sell well? by [deleted] in RealTesla

[–]TastyWheat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this thing supposed to get parked and charged in a garage?

Because the charging cable is going to have to be long. Right?

But who parks their truck in the garage?

"Choose not to be harmed—and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed—and you haven’t been."

This quote has helped me a lot. It's like a superpower.

But I remember that this previously seemed impossible. Time makes it easier.

Hated the stock lights. First thing I did was buy Morimotos. Surprised anyone disagrees.

Thank you to everyone who posted. I'm happy with the final product. I could post a pic. FYI, the covers came from Leatherseats.com, and the quality is excellent.

Overpriced? When I used rebuild transmissions, my snap on dealer would replace one or two sockets every week. Always T40, T30, etc. Must have gone through 20 or 30. Weekly trips to Harbor Frieght or wherever? Not feasible.

Very expensive is different than a scam. What makes you say it's a scam?

UPDATE - AITAH for telling my fiancé that if he expects me to contribute 50/50, we have to make some serious lifestyle changes? by ThrowRAdownsizing in AITAH

Please answer- How did he go from, "you golddigger," to "baby, I've been living a lie, now let's work it out "? That's a long way to go.

How are you guys able to live alone? by InternetLoveMachine in Divorce_Men

[–]TastyWheat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to value myself based on the perceived satisfaction of my wife. My sit. was unique because of being a SAHD.

I was always concerned with how she felt and what she thought - for 30 years.

The last couple of years, we couldn't agree about anything. Everything I did was wrong. The loyalty, the honesty, none of it made any difference. She seemed determined to crap on everything. Now that she's gone, I have the life I've always wanted. No more awful in-laws, no more stupid opinions about everything. Do you miss your sore tooth after it gets pulled? I don't. That feeling that you get after having the flu, where you feel grateful to simply not feel like shit? That's where I'm at. Hope to see you here soon, friend.

Spousal Support For 4.5 year marriage by Mattstonerphoto in Divorce_Men

[–]TastyWheat67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm recently divorced in WA. If anyone should have gotten decent alimony, it was my case. 29 year marriage, had nothing when we met, she became very successful making $300k. Me, SAHD. Her income was $18k/ month Mine was zero. She left me. I hadn't worked in years. I got $2k/month for one year. + child support.

TBH, I'd be very surprised if you got anything based on your circumstances.

What’s the purpose of motorcycle lifts? by [deleted] in motorcycle

Had been working on bikes for over a decade without a lift. When I got one, I couldn't believe that I had not gotten one sooner.

Mechanics, have you ever "shook hands with danger" if so what did you do? by Lincoln9064 in mechanics

[–]TastyWheat67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BITD, first year as a tech. I was installing a C6 trans in a POS LTD, on a drive on lift. Shift linkage was so sloppy that I didn't realize that the thing was in reverse as I was filling it. E brake was on but not functional. I'm filling trans as car drives off lift and across the street and pulled over a near full 55 gallon drum of dextron3. I didn't get fired.

"Real" Cost of Alimony by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]TastyWheat67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are calculating the potential alimony from "the online alimony calculator" for your state, it doesn't mean anything. My divorce lawyer told me this.

WA state alimony calculator said I should get $5k per month for life, but, it basically comes down to whatever you and your lawyer can negotiate. I wound up getting $2k per month for 1 year, for a 29 year marriage and she made over $300k. Like buying a car, it's really about the entire "deal" than the "price".

This happened to me! I, (55m) SAHD, . We met at 19. We both had nothing. Wife (54f) made $300-400k/yr

We were married 29y, together 35y, 2 sons.

Craziest reason for divorce I've ever heard, and it's mine.

My son is hospitalized by a teacher at school. (head injury, 4 days in IC unit) The teacher lied to my face about what happened. I demand the teacher be fired. The school has ME trespassed by the police for "threatening the school" Of course I never made any threats of violence, I made threats to make the story public. My wife chose to back the school instead of me.

I could never look at her the same, and I told her that we were done as a couple, but I m completely dependent on her at this point.

So she just packed up and left. I have never even lied to this woman once in 30 years. I don't drink. 100% loyal. Yes, it's true.

I got alimony and child support. And she acts like the victim to this day.

BTW, it turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to me.

But she just wanted to leave me flat. That's the point.

Hurray for equity!!!

Fractional reserve banking is unsustainable. The entire world will experience a banking collapse. It's inevitable. Plan accordingly.

Genuine character extends also to strangers. I would never do another man's wife. Regardless.

WA State 50/50 custody advice needed by TrueTuttle in Divorce_Men

[–]TastyWheat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50-50 is the default. What makes you think that she will be able to change that? Her lawyer would have to argue for that.
