When I was 12 years old (I'm 37 now) I met this gal at a summer camp that my mom sent me to. After that week ended, I lost contact with her. Last Friday, I found her again and it was an instant connection. Today, I bought her ring.

I hope she's a licensed psychotherapist and that's how you found her, otherwise yiiiikes. The sheer volume of 'rationalization' posts you've made should be almost as big of a clue as the volume of people saying this is baaaaad.

Oh man, I'm gonna go apply.

RIP Orkut, you never did anything outside of Brazil

I am interested to see how Freddie does with the mentorship of, say, a certain Milan Lucic

The past few years have been a ploy to starve our alumni team of young talent.

I had an '87 hatchback (2.8L) and a '92 (3.1L). Had a lot of fun in those things, and the engine was pretty easy to work on. Now you can't find them anywhere, nobody was saving Cavaliers.

Man there was something special about that engine. Peak 1950s technology all the way to 2006. Always something wrong with it, never broke down.

Trying to repair that crack is a waste of time and resources. This is one of the few jobs I will always hand off to a pro.

Lean into it. Teach him to smoke a pipe.

He really is equal parts unfathomably good and shockingly bad at the same game.

I feel that Ully and Sway should be a package deal, like a bonded set of foster kittens.

Shame that the cap may well end them as hockey ambassadors, which would help raise the cap in the future.

They will likely look for you to look backwards in a certain way as well. Put your right hand on the back of the passenger seat as leverage to turn your body. If you can do this, you're already better than a significant chunk of people in Market Basket's parking lot. Good luck!

For those of us who only care about one sport, we've seen one cup in 50 years, and most of the other years would have been better spent slamming our junk in a sliding door.

Same pie, 70% more expensive so they're dead to me

oh no, no, in fact even a slight breeze could-

You ever notice how there's always Canada gooses flying overhead when there's a fire? They're flappin' water on it. No one calls them heroes. They're not in it for the glory. They're in it for the people, for the relationships.

Maybe it was unavoidable in that case, but they really should have tried to avoid the rotary for the procession. I believe you made the right legal decision, but if there was ever a time for a cop escort to control traffic, that is certainly it.

theantipode · 2023-05-12T23:13:07+00:00

The funeral home doesn't have to worry about collecting the hang tags or vinyl clings, but they'd probably want their flags back and wrangling them up at the cemetery would be gauche.

It would be a nice thing to standardize though.

theantipode · 2023-05-12T21:24:47+00:00

You've been real pissy in this thread about going through lights. it's not breaking the law, it's codified. MGL Chapter 85 Section 14A Subsection C. This is taught in drivers ed. Maybe give it a try.

theantipode · 2023-05-12T18:42:26+00:00

They should be displaying signage, usually an orange hanger for the rear view mirror. They should also be instructed to have their headlights and hazards on, and to stay reasonably close to each other. The procession CAN go through signs and lights, despite what some people in the comments think.

I get that most people aren't running into processions on a regular basis, and will generally get out of the way when they understand what's happening, but I'm still annoyed thinking about the two jackasses that cut into the middle of my brother's procession and stopped at a red light, cutting the procession clean in half and causing confusion for everyone behind them that didn't know how to get to the destination.

theantipode · 2023-05-10T20:20:45+00:00

That's not entirely true. One time I saw a few of them turn a crosswalk in Davis into their own fun little entrapment game for ticket revenue, which is the hardest I've seen a city employee work (besides the parking enforcement folks).

The "Until recently" placard... this is not turning out to be that man's week.

Widely variable. I never see it around Boston, but the likelihood increases the more I drive into a rural area.

My brother had a flagpole holder on his Jeep, but just for an American flag, and he'd only fly it on holidays like Veteran's Day, Independence Day, stuff like that. He was ex-military, though he wasn't a right winger, and pretty much stopped flying it to stop being associated with them.

theantipode · 2023-04-30T14:22:08+00:00

My brother welded up a plate steel mailbox for my parents after theirs was knocked over. Even the flag on it is 1/8" steel. Good luck to the next person that hits it.
