I watched a YouTube video and someone was able to do it without draining.

Gardening, practicing laps at PIR on PS3, hanging out with wifey. Whole lotta nada

Renters a door down behind my place had a dog for a year. They keep em outside and it barks at everything, many times after 10pm. I complained 2 weeks ago. Havent heard a dog for a week. Though there is now a cat hanging aroudn thier backyard with eyes like a hunter. Hissed him away because he was prowling through the garden today. I've what sounds like a rainforest of birds hanging out back there and dont need him pestering them.

Its currently evening time, as this is written I hear many different birds and frogs.

How about you MM? Any news on the car?

Always makes me nervous when to not knick the filter housing when removing/installing the engine. I crushed a filter installing my block, glad it was on there or the threaded filter tube on the housing would have been damaged.

Sobriety typically impairs creativity. Joe don't wanna be our dry guy so he left us. It's a possibility, I suppose....

Do you drink? I don't take you for a drinker.

I know no one is as good as they could be when they are sober. Even if while under the influence of a drug(alcohol is a drug, even food) they Think they are more creative.

I don't drink. Never have. Never had a reason to. I think it's different for everyone

Ya, you seem to assburger/artistic like me to care for those things.



You probably are not in a situation where you have 2 bratty kids being raised by social media and the government, telling you that all you can do is be thier friend and not a parent. A naggy wife.

Don't rush to have kids. Wife perhaps if she isnt a raging lunatic, or a manipulative explative like so many are. I got lucky.


25 I was dating a would be pornstar for 8 months. Its a young age, particularly in todays culture. But modern traditional culture is rapidly changing.

I'm very goal oriented. I'm not one to waste time and dump and invest myself into something that is blatantly temporary. I've never dated, finished school or even tried to give a shit about anything until probably last year. I went through years of depression and self neglect. I feel like I'm waking up from a bad dream every day. Like I was 17 yesterday, skipped 7 years, and woke up at 25. It's really unsettling at times but I'm working hard to get through it.

My main thing is just so I'm not having my first born at 30-40 My parents are in their early/mid 60s. It's bad for the kid, believe me. I don't want mine to suffer like that

What if they suffer if you have them at any age?

Who is pressuring you to marry and have children?

I get your point.

Nobody is pressuring me. I'm pressuring myself to get shit going while I'm still young. I don't wanna be one of those late bloomers like 40 with a new born, or that weird guy that lives alone his whole life. Hell no. Not me.

In fact, absolutely nobody gives a shit if I'm single, lonely and miserable. I wish someone pressured me to be a go getter when I was 17 or 18.

The fear of missing out is my drive and motivation. I must push forward.

I like that you are not wasting your time now. Many people mosey through their whole lives hohumming, going through the motions. You don't seem to be that person.

Believe me, I was, the worst, but I'm forcing myself to change.

I've been working for what, almost four years now, and still at the same, and my first real job. I definitely want to get my hiset and maybe a light technical course. I'm tired of working outside and doing mechanical shit. I'm not the blue collar type, and I'm ready to move on. However, I feel like I'm wasting time not doing anything productive towards education and I get frustrated with myself but I never have time because I work so much. I keep saying I'm going to have my teeth fixed but never do it. Just the little things. I went through extreme anxiety, depression and self destructive times and have been estranged from most of my family since probably about 2015-2016 and just now, I'm starting to try to talk to my sister again and make a couple of friends because I didn't bother to when I was growing up. I'm experiencing new things now and I like it a lot. My point is, I've been riding the clock on my life since I dropped out of high school. It's a shame, so much wasted time and life in the past 8 years

Are you looking around for a white collar job atm? If I had a white collar job I would wear a monocle/top hat, do the "Meh Meh Meh" rich guy laugh, and put my pinky up when I drove around.




Not all blue collar jobs are bad. Being a surgeon is a blue collar job. But thats a bad job.

I guess I said that too literally. What I mean is, I don't want to be in a trade. No crew work. No construction on maintenance jobs.

I'm hoping to get into customer service somewhere, TSA or maybe live a medical tech/assistant. Something in the AC 😂

I'm at a Super 8 model in the desert atm. Why not be one of the cleaning people that turns the rooms over? Got the A/C blasting all day! I bet you would have the courtesy to clean the blood stain I just saw in the hallway, and make sure the customers with pets don't let thier dogs piss on the walls so keep the stench down.

Also that guy sitting in his car in the parking lot on his phone for the second day doesnt look like a patron.
