I don't really like kits, but it's handy when you need to help a brother out.
I have an old steel toolbox with all my shit in.. takes hours to find shit cuz that's how I roll.
... how the fuck do I have 10x 10mm and I can't find one..

Good morning Crew!!

That's awesome news J! Remember what I told you about my past. You live, you learn and you move on. Don't regret the past but thank it for what the future brings. In the end, I'm married to someone who shares the same passions I have. No longer do I have to feel as you felt going to Football games. Life is too short, life is very difficult, but life can be rewarding with the right person by your side and a positive attitude. Here's on to the road of happiness for you my friend, Cheers

​​​​​​​During this physical, did the Doctor break the news to you that your prostate is in fact a gigantic coffee bean?

I'm still confused by the "didn't care that I spoke French" bit. Like, is that a negative trait? ( :sooryPB: )

I have this odd mental image of someone getting so pissed off and just shouting out "Well, why don't you go talk French somewhere else then, asshole!"

actually. I may have just found my new outburst...
