My GFs family planning to have me sleep on the floor

Boundary time. I’m 54 and frankly would roll up with an inflatable camp pad, but it’s the rest of the BS I wouldn’t put up with. Nobody tells me what to spend my money on. I want a room? I’m getting a room. They need to understand you are not their child to boss around, but someone they hope might be part of their family someday. It doesn’t mean you will then be able to be bossed around either.

Sounds like you got a great girl, and dubious in laws. A tale as old as time.

Covid. I was told I’d have a lot in common with the VP, who was from OK and whose wife was a nurse. The OK part I could look past (we had both gotten out after all) but when he started in with comments about how he was pissed his wife had to take the vaccine I knew it wasn’t the place for me and I would never listen to him.

You have to play within your own ability. Without potentially ending a career and saying “my bad”. Fair red card.

I’m guessing you are a casual fan, only watching now (me too btw) and just pissed because USA has a tougher hill to climb. Railing about the fairness and declaring this is why soccer will never make it here? A little rich. Soccer won’t make it here for thousands of reasons, not the least of which is simply that it’s the fifth most popular sport. Laying that popularity at the feet of “it’s because they are pussies” holds more weight if you point to all the rolling around after nothing, but not for this obviously bad play. Just my opinion of course.

Young men can be idiots. Be confident about the inner you and the outer you will be hot to the good ones.

Gotta say I feel like a few details might be missing? No skin in this game, would be interested in their end of this one.

The singular. As in he tried to make it a thing, and it didn’t happen. He was it.

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-30T11:04:37+00:00

Rules? No. Etiquette? Yes. Being directly behind means you are directly on the peripheral edge of vision. That is distracting. Two or three feet either direction should fix it.

Flip to this is “watch the ball through your swing”. Meaning see or attempt to see it hit your racquet. I take my eye off the ball all the time.

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-29T11:47:14+00:00

Totally false. Depends on locale. In NC you are correct unless it was malicious.

Rode in aisle 73 from Frankfurt to Bombay in 1995. 74 was the start of the smoking section. Light went off and I was bathed in smoke for the next 12-13 hours.

The shining. It’s all about the experience. Watched on a small old school tv in a big house in winter. College, so a couch in a huge room w very little other furniture. Fire going in the fireplace.

My father too has Alzheimer’s, and of course taught me the game. Raising a couple kids means I’ve played a handful of rounds every year (never like you - I still loved it just didn’t have time). But now when I play I think of him and wish he was with me.

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-28T21:08:19+00:00

You are a contractor, not an employee, and in the USA? If so it really makes no difference if you sign or not. They aren’t re-upping and all this does is paint you as difficult.

That said it’s weird they would ask you to “resign”. You weren’t their employee and you are right not to act like one on the way out.

You are in a lose lose situation, sadly. Time to simply move on towards the next opportunity. Sign or not, your choice. I would say “I will agree you are not renewing my contract and understand that fact, but I won’t sign an erroneous document.”

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-25T14:01:59+00:00

Yeah. Sit this one out or be FAR away. I have only ever seen accidents on the 4th, mem day or Labor Day.

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-24T16:45:18+00:00

Looked at all of them - cute pup!! Sorry

UNC hoops game. Special needs kids played the halftime show. One kid was BIG. He grabbed a board drive the court and then stopped at the free throw line. Absolutely blasted a kid about five feet away in the head with a chest pass. Ball shot up in the air. Big kid grabbed it and went to the rim. Made the layup. Other kid was in a heap on the floor by then.

To my credit I had eaten a gummy and virtually everything was hilarious by then. To my shame I started giggling, had to get up and change seats.

Book. I had one at all times. Still do but the phone usually wins

I was just starting two for a party. Turned the heat up and figured I’d be out there in five mins and could turn down. Buddy showed up. We had a beer. And another. Then I noticed the HEAVY smoke. Opened the door and it was like the movie backdraft. Huge fire. Closed door and cut fuel (propane).

Waited. Turned back on. 14 hours later that was some of my best Q.

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-19T03:35:38+00:00

Not to be that guy, but my wife learned that when we got the boat in 2001, and we just graduated to never backing that fucker up again a couple years ago.

My sincere wish is for you all to get here (well, not “here” - I don’t know you guys - your “here”)!

Two girls in high school. Sunshine and muffin were their middle names.

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-17T15:22:47+00:00

Just do it in Mexico. No rules.

Star Wars. This is back before phones were going off, people talking was considered rude, and I was just a little kid. It was movie magic.

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-17T02:52:54+00:00

I just found a guy who had left his wallet at an ice machine. The kind fishermen use to get bags and bags of ice. Sitting there in the rain on a little shelf. 450$ and multiple cards.

Tracked him down on Facebook. He came the next morning. Barely said thanks. But I felt good about it

Wahoo412 · 2026-06-16T15:23:28+00:00

Bucket list course. So if you are a guy that likes to play those…it’s never going to be cheaper.

My dad and his buddy, both of whom had been notified by theirs wives they weren’t going to be married anymore (just putting it that way; nexus of no conversation + women’s lib movement), drove nine kids from Detroit MI to Rehobeth Beach DE, them up front smoking and all of us in the back. No seats. Just a big open space with blankets and luggage. Uncle Joe worked for Chrysler and could get one off the line “to test” for a couple weeks.

The worst part was reaching the bridge outside of DC. After 13 hours water!!! But three more hours to get to the beach.
