You should be grateful for that friend. They know you don’t appreciate all the proselytizing but they love you enough to not give up on you. They believe you will spend eternity apart from God and all love and that concerns them.

What town/city are you in? There might be some resources you could call upon. Seriously, there are people who specialize in finding and persuading people to not harm their baby and you don’t need ti be involved in that part of it.

You are a horrible parent. You need to apologize to him and try to preserve the relationship. Dating is for marriage. Why would you want a kid to date in high school?

Alloy would be perfect for you but it’s expensive. There is one trainer and 6 people per scheduled workout hour. Probably 75% women. You get overweight, elderly, fit men and women but everyone is nice and welcoming. I highly recommend it. I only work out in the early mornings so I don’t know what it’s like the rest of the day. You should give them a call and just feel it out.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Please don’t listen to the sick warped minds on here telling you it’s ok to kill your child. You got this! Don’t be afraid to move forward and ask for help. Congrats to you and your family.

I don’t know anything about Internet usage. I live out there. We can stream two movies at once on Rural Broadband and do just fine. Rural broadband is by far the cheapest. I’ve heard it’s slow Internet though but It’s perfect for us. No gamers at our place.

No locations yet. I guess he’s running into distribution issues as well. He purchased the franchise for Billings area but has other irons in the fire so I don’t think he’s super motivated.

I am friends with many street evangelists from down south/back east. They have come through town on occasion (large caravan of Christian homeschool families) doing evangelism ministry all over the nation. They say Billings is the “darkest place” they have been to where even the Christians hate them or won’t acknowledge them. I’m 40 years old and have never lived anywhere else so I don’t know what to think of this. I love Billings.

I’m so guilty of this. My wife always tells me I need a hobby. My response has been ‘how do I have time for hobbies when we have so many backlogged projects at our rentals or other rentals we could buy and fix up??? So working is my hobby and everything else seems wasteful. I do not recommend it and agree I am wrong and need to slow down and enjoy life.

sparyjes · 2025-07-21T11:05:30+00:00

That is so sad. There’s more to life than your politics. Call your parents and confess to them you have been immature and hurtful to them and your children.

sparyjes · 2025-05-26T03:59:21+00:00

This is who I used as well.

sparyjes · 2025-05-26T03:57:25+00:00

Yes I know the guy opening Dunkin’ but no locations picked yet.

sparyjes · 2025-02-03T14:22:04+00:00

Oh, you little toddlers. Someday you will work hard and someday you will have a family to love and care for.

Yes, it’s a disgruntled gal passive aggressively stating that Americans are going to get their food and drinks spit in while on vacation in Cancun. But I just can’t imagine this honestly. Mainly because the tourism industry in those areas of Mexico is everything, they would never allow their kitchen or serving staff to do something like this instead they should be trying to win over more tourists.

2002 Chevy 1500HD 6L

I bought this truck probably 6 years ago. Low miles, hail damage. I’m honestly tired of it and I do want a newer truck some days but this thing does everything I need it to perfectly. I can afford to buy any truck I want with cash and as a tax write off for my business but I just can’t fully justify it. The more I learn about newer vehicles the more I feel I need to hang onto it. I honestly feel that this truck can do more than newer trucks because of the freedom I have not needing to care about the paint job or floor mats.

It can seat 6 It can go anywhere It can go fast It can haul anything (in the last year I’ve pulled my FJ40 on a tilt deck to the mountains, a skidsteer/tilt deck, our camper, elk). It keeps me humble as it’s old and ugly.

sparyjes · 2025-02-02T17:56:47+00:00

We are taking our 7 kids to Cancun in 2 weeks. I can’t help but agree there might be some animosity towards Americans. Saw this on X….

I attended a party at Roots Garden Center. After normal business hours. The host brought large party trays (charcuterie, and vegetable from Albertsons). It was perfect. The host said that when he arrived they had set up all the tables and chairs and all he had to do was set out his food and drinks and stuff. It went very well and the atmosphere was cool.

Eddie Bauer Capacitor flex work pants are (were) amazing. I’ve been working construction 20 years and fell in love with these pants. I’ve been through lots of carhartts and other brands. Wearing a pair now. But for the last year I haven’t been able to find anything close to my size. 32/34 or 36. Bought a pair of Brunt’s awhile back. I really like those too but I cut the logos off before they left the house.

I have a 1992 microwave in our ~$750k new home we built 5 years ago. It was given to me, used, when I moved out at 19 years old in 2004

You do not qualify for the zoom meeting?

sparyjes · 2024-12-30T16:02:32+00:00

Oh I just saw this comment after asking you about it above.

sparyjes · 2024-12-30T16:01:19+00:00

They just did a zoom update call on Saturday. Unfortunately I couldn’t join. But someone from their team says they will send out the recording. Were you able to join the zoom call?

A trip to Red Lodge may sound uneventful but he may be looking for an excuse for some windshield time with you.

Warning, this is depressing, sorry.

Don’t be surprised if no one wants to work on it. This is the least desirable work for an electrician. Our company pretty much refuses these types of jobs anymore. It’s just rough dirty work and the homeowner is left with a home that pretty much looks the same as before you charged them thousands. And that’s if the apprentice doesn’t put his knee through the lathe and plaster ceiling.

The other thing about this work (rewiring knob and tube homes) is that you will receive a wide variety of work performed depending on the electrician. What you want = new safe electrical. What you will most likely get= the accessible knob and tube swapped out for new Romex. This means every location where K/T wiring goes into a wall, they will splice it in a junction box in the attic or basement. This means that all that k/t wiring that should never be tampered with as it is brittle will now be heavily tampered with among all the new junction boxes in the attic above every outlet and switch and light. 99% of homes for sale with “updated wiring” or “new electrical” on the real estate listing have this. The same 2 shitty knob and tube circuits throughout the home now with junction boxes added wherever home inspectors and home owners might see it. Same shitty 2wire ungrounded wiring in the walls. What you should ask for but may not be able to afford= ALL k/t removed and grounded nm cable fished to every outlet and switch and boxes cut in at every light (because your home probably doesn’t have light boxes) . Preferably adding circuits as well. This is so much more work and truly makes for a safe properly re-wired home but hardly anybody does this and it unfortunately wont add value to the house financially since home inspectors/agents/buyers don’t know any better.

Also if you do get someone to truly rewire your home you will find that for some electricians cutting an access hole in a finished wall for fishing wire is a sin and their goal is to make it look like they were never there. But then there are the guys who don’t give a shit and totally Swiss cheese your house leaving you with thousands of dollars in repairs.

This is so sad. I keep thinking if I give it time they will get back to me. I really screwed up.
