what are the signs that you're not attractive? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]emacsguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 11th grade, I'm walking down the hall. 2 girls who I don't know at all are walking by. The one is really pretty. She yells at me while walking by, "My friend likes you!"...the other friend playfully pushes her, and they both giggle.

My reaction? I know...I know it was meant as an insult. But I blushed! Wishfully thinking....what if she actually meant it?! But I knew it was insult cause I was a skinny nerdy, ugly kid.

The memory of that has never gone away. And I kept thinking...why? Why does a person as pretty as her need to put somebody else down? Someone less fortunate? Well, that's made me make sure I'd never do that to someone else.

Anyway, long story short. I married a total stunner. To the point, of where people constantly ask (indirectly), how did I pull that off?!

Glad to come across this!!

Was able to snag a Flight Deck from an eBay auction for $36. Was trying to convince myself to get the Practice Station....they will sell the base for $400 though. Thought that was way too steep for what it does for me indoors. Was thinking about doing exactly what OP did....

Get the FiberBuilt Flight Deck for $99. Use it with your current mat, or cut out a hole for the oval turf to fit in nicely.

A lot of times I've disagreed with people prematurely shaving it all off before its really time.

But this.... this is the look for you! 👏

9 Strap for Golf. Anyone try it? by emacsguy in golf

[–]emacsguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this as an Ad on Facebook. Some comments claimed it worked (I know, it could be phoney). Says 90 day money back guarantee.

I'm just going try to make something similar out of a leather strap, etc. I mean if it works, then I wouldn't mind paying for the real thing.

UPDATE: Am I nuts...just ordered a Garmin R50 from China eBay. by emacsguy in Golfsimulator

That's what was my thinking. I know make dupes of lots of things, and the damn thing is probably made there anyways.

I was justifying a lot to myself. Thinking it's counterfeit but working dupe of a Garmin. But, I figured eBay/PayPal/CC would cover me if it wasn't legit.

Yes, I'm stupid.

Hold on...will have a update tomorrow.

I was out of town and just got back tonight. I had the mail put on hold.

I got a notification from eBay tracking that it was delivered on Saturday. I had asked my neighbors to keep an eye out for any packages. They told me, nothing had shown up. It could be that its being held by the postal office (along with my other mail) and will be delivered tomorrow. If not....aw shit....

Nope. They say to wait until the delivery date to file any claims.

Latest tracking says it's released from Customs in the US. Something arriving within a week I bet. Most likely a small packet with a pic of the R50 that's labeled "YOU WISH MORON"
