    Getting bled dry

    Nah....the boomer serfs (who are hoarding immense wealth) will just bitch endlessly on the internet, or to each other while swillin' shitty coffee refills for seniors at McDonald's and sporting meticulously crafted hilarious hairsprayed three-strand combover caricatures of the hairstyles they...

    Getting bled dry

    It's important to note that Traver's Main Amendment should be utilized judiciously...but I think we can all agree that it's warranted in a case of this magnitude.

    Getting bled dry

    When I saw the thread title I thought maybe somebody was getting a divorce! On that note; an acquaintance went through several divorces, and was fond of mentioning that he had to buy his big Hewescraft three times.

    Getting bled dry

    Protip; Always bring up "I remember when a candy bar cost a nickel" when some old fart starts bitching about cost. Substituting "I remember when gas was $0.25 a gallon" also really works well right now! Old farts conveniently forget that a large annual income was once $10k. And...

    Reflections from the end of my first long term relationship

    It will, with time, get better. Can't hurry the grieving process, but keeping active helps the process along. None of us old farts on the forum are even the same people we were in our earlier decades of life (most particularly our twenties and thirties). That means it's quite unpredictable...

    How Many Knots Are In Your Arsenal?
