This probably isnt the appropriate place for this, but WW is like family to me.....how about users posting good news in the family or friends arena.....It sure would be nice for a change. Especially reading in th headlines about all the attention the world is giving to North Korea, things are definitely spiraling downhill with the threat of nuclear activity......
Anything good or great going on with you, your significant other or friends?

My 18 year old graduated high school this year and is enrolled in Jr College, and my 21 yr old is attending University of Cal at Santa Barbara, studying Environemental Science. So I have something to be grateful for!

 

The recession has not affected me much so far. I have a wonderful wife and two great sons. I've got a nice home that I am not leveraged out the wazoo on and 3 nice cars in the driveway to use exceldetail products on.

 

My oldest is getting married in Aug. and I still don't pee the bed .

BTW Patrick I spent tha last 10 years beofre I retires in the environmental field for a major industry here. All the way from the monitoring to the reporting to corporate and the Govt.

 

Oh my gawd, that has to be the most important of all!!! That made me smile from ear to ear, and shake my head. Is that what I have to look forward to seeing? Or notexperiencing?
You never fail to crack me up Dale!

 

I have to honestly say, the greatest thing going for me nowadays, is that nothing bad is going on. Life is normal. All I can ask for

(knock on wood of course)

 

My brother just graduated high school, going to University of California San Diego.

I'm going to start my third year in college after summer. I got 2 A's so far, just waiting on accounting grades.


On a bad note... I have to spend a huge amount of money soon, for engine mounts, and lower control arms.... going to hold off on new detailing equipment because I will soon be broke.

 

Your kids boys or girls?

U of C at Santa Barbra has some of the hottest girls in the world...

 

I'm going to be graduating at the end of this year in Computer Engineering... let's just hope I can find a job, haha.

 

I have 2 boys (oldest and middle) and a princess myself...The one attending UCSB is the oldest boy, and has managed to keep women out of the picture to this point. Being born and raised in Calif. myself, and surfing for many a years, im all too aware of what the coast holds in the way of "hotties".....lol He's sharp looking kid too, as long as he stays focused , we wont have too many concerns, but women have there ways , we all know that........

 

The Good: I'll be attending Stanford's Graduate School of Business in the fall.

The Bad: The $36,000 a year tuition mean no mods and hardly any detailing coming up.

The Ugly: Like I'm gonna have time to detail/mod my TL...haha.

 

I wish him luck =)

 

Where you taking it from there D?
Congrats btw......
When is the "end of the year" for you anyway?

 

The Steelers won the Super Bowl, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup Great time to be from Pittsburgh!

 

Found out a couple of weeks ago we are expecting!! Its our first one. Next month we find out the gender! Woot woot!

 

congrats!!!

i guess for me...

I have two very supportive parents who love me very much. I have my own house and am still employed in this scary market. And I am engaged to a wonderful woman....

MOD NOTE: even though this is technically an off topic thread, i realize that many of you guys in W&W don't venture outside to Ramblings. since we have become a mini W&W family, let's keep it here for a while so that it doesn't get crapped up in Ramblings by the PW's...

 

congrats to all the posters above to keep this a "detail thread" I got my supplies today Patrick, I ordered a day later from you and got it a day sooner than the other guy we spoke about! for your help! Also I really enjoyed the mint/candy included in the package!

 

Where the Pirates? Im a huge Angel fan!

Now theres something worth sharing for sure!!

Weeeeerd.........
Excellent! You should start a progress thread also!

 

That's the joke that's been going around town, time for the Pirates to pick up the slack Man they suck

 

Hahah the mint! and I thought it accidently dropped in there, it was tasty!

I'm going to Hawaii end of Septemeber with my GF and I'm planning on...

Man I never knew rings were so $$$

 

 

Oh dang..........
Congrats!!
Maybe will will get the Angels taking the title, along with the Lakers?

 

life is good, love reading detailing information here, which in turn causes this bad spending habit at Pats site!! I have two beautiful kids with birthdays this month boy 7 on 6/16 , daughter 3 on 6/27 and a great wife, just painted and redecorated the inside of the house (only took 11yrs). my boy is on a travel ice hockey team for next year (WOOT WOOT) and most importantly family is all healthy!

Hope everyone has a great summer!!!

 

The Good: Graduating from law school in SF

The Bad: The $170,000 debt I've accrued as a result of my education

The Ugly: 8-12 hours a day studying for the bar when I'd rather be dreaming of ways to make my car look purdy.

 

lets go halos *clap clap clapclapclap*

 

A little cheer from across the sea (you know those guys with funny accents, a strange sense of humour and weird spelling) NUTS -http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8108297.stm

 

Well after 12 years of smoking, I've finally took the step to go through with my New Years resolution (made the same one for the past 10 years btw) to stop. I'm on some prescription that my doctor gave me. Works like a charm, except for the excessive gas that it gives me , but have managed to cut down from seven cigarettes a day to one every other day and soon to be none at all. At about six bucks a pack, that is a savings of about $40 back in my pocket....well at least until I placed it on my order to Pat for a chance at a new PC . It certainly is one accomplishment that I am very proud of. I'm also very proud of my soon to be seven years old son who graduated from first grade.

I'm also happy that my girlfriend is recovering nicely from her chemotherapy sessions. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in February at 26 years of age. It almost hit us like a brick because I had just bought a car in January and thought that everything was gonna be just fine. Fortunately, we've had the support of wonderful friends and family that have helped in every way possible to help us out in these times.

So I'm glad that in tough times like these, we are able to manage.
Hmmm....now what to get for Father's Day....

 

Congrats on the quitting smoking ..I smoked for 27 years an quit in 1990 and haven't had one since. Of all the things I did in my life , and I did a few, that was the toughest.

I keep telling kids that I see smoking " You do that because you think it makes you look grown up and maucho ... You wanna show how tough and maucho you are ... try quitting"

Don't give up son. You'll never regret how hard it was to quit.

 

Cute video Jon!!!
TLU, congrats on accomplishing your goal, also, best of luck with your GF's recovery. Kick it in the ass!
My mother just finishes 6 series of chemo over about a year...... I know what its like to deal with someone whom you love, has it.....

 

Im moving my son into his university apt today! Hows that for a Fathers Day celebration!

 

^ Sounds fun. Just remember to keep your "peripheral" vision focused and not on those hot young blondes.

 

LMAO...............
I married something incredibly hot!
I have that keepin me warm at night...........
(I removed her pic, I dont think she would have minded but shes Italian, and when they get mad, they STAY mad............)
My sons mother will have high expectations!

 

Went to a big car show on the weekend .. ( 684 cars ) our group of 14 cars got 4 firsts or seconds and a VIP award .. and the mayor choise award ..
