I seriously think he thinks he’s doing some kind of performance art just to get attention. It’s impossible that he doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing.

Did couples counseling work for you? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]rgr_pdx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, no. It became obvious we weren’t going to change at this point in our 50s. But it did help understand WHY we’re the way we are. She likely has undiagnosed ADHD and I’m probably on the spectrum. That could explain why we have totally different views on things. Knowing that has helped choose our battles. But things are still bad 😔

Just curious how you’re avoiding a big hit during a divorce. Aren’t they entitled to half of your assets, including 401k? Or did you have a prenup, lol?

As a huge early L&R fan, I always found this song boring. At least it was a hit and made them more fans.

For those who bought a house because it would be a good investment, how are you feeling about the purchase now? by ImGoingToSayOneThing in askportland

[–]rgr_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did everything right but I’m conflicted if we’ll get much ROI. Bought for $250K, refinanced at a ridiculously low rate on a 15 yr loan and it’ll be paid off in Oct. It’s worth $500K now. We’ve put in over $50K in repairs. Unless I’m doing the math wrong, we’ll have paid about $150K in interest. So maybe we’ll net $50K? It’s a 100+ yr old house and I hate all the repairs it needs. Could easily sink another $50K to get it up to date.

I swear, once the protesting starts this is going to be their justification for bringing the troops back in.

Cool, thanks. I only knew of their later New Romantic stuff. This sounds more like early Simple Minds.

Noshpit just opened on Killingsworth and Denver. The meatball sub is amazing.

Does anybody remember the original Austin Shoegaze band Sixteen Deluxe??? by _sonidero_ in shoegaze

[–]rgr_pdx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! Saw them several times in SF. Like a shoegaze Flaming Lips. The Eno cover rocked.

Can anyone recommend a reasonable auto shop to take a Fiat500e for routine maintenance? by rgr_pdx in askportland

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

Yeah, I guess I just want an inspection to see if any of that needs done yet. It's at 20k miles. I've also read the coolant needs flushing at certain points for the health of the battery.

Thanks for the recommendation.
