So like two years ago a girl I was friends with a looooonnnnng time ago got outed as a high end escort by her former best friend. There was much embarrassment and shaming and she deleted her facebook account. I just noticed this evening that she had reactivated it and was actively posting again so I hit her up asking how she was doing and if she was still having trouble from that incident. She tells me that it sucked for a long time but 8 months ago she was retained by a "Saudi Oil Baron" and he's been paying her $10K a month plus expenses. So I guess it can pay to be a hooker.

. After getting home from work that night, I discovered that the first gen CRV had the ignition switches recalled for an internal failure, with the car shutting off randomly (and eventually totally, unless you held the key halfway between the two positions, like I discovered) as the listed symptom.

5 of the 6 Hondas I've owned had that same ignition switch failure mode. Can't say I've seen the needle before though.

My wife's water broke at midnight just as a bright meteor was passing overhead and he was born on Ferdi Porsche's birthday - there's some sort of origin story in there somewhere.  Since girlfriend is spending most of her time here and leaves for six weeks of training in three weeks we brought over her big rear end TV and xbox one. Then I made the mistake of buying Fallout 4 and Dark Souls 3. Been nice knowing you sleep schedule and productivity. Also a few LEGO games for cooperative play. Did get the subframe off the F20C, drained the oil and got it hung from the engine hoist. Will try an initial test fit sometime this week. Promise I'm starting the thread soon. Potentially strange question but would storing a engine that's been drained of oil upside down for a while be an issue? I need to replace the oil sprayers in the oil pan (should be quick/easy) but I also need to fab a subframe. This would be a lot easier with the engine on a stand upside down. I'm assuming any residual oil could seep past the rings and fill up the cylinders but pulling the plugs or just putting it back right side up for a while would take care of this.

I know you're talking about a book talking about a movie, but although lack of representation of Vietnamese people is a problem in Vietnam war movies, that position misses the point of Apocalypse Now because it isn't actually about Vietnam. What I'm saying is that's a dumb thing for an author to put in a book.

Garage Chat: I'm about to epoxy my garage floor. Turns out that acid etching probably won't be good enough. Can I use a grinder attachment on my buffer? I've got a Makita 9227c. Not really sure if it's up to the task or not...

You can just use normal floor paint which is cheaper than the 2 pack epoxy stuff. I used this on a concrete garage floor - http://www.leylandtrade.com/products/product-detail/heavy-duty-floor-paint-.aspx Not as good as the epoxy but half the price and it is doing pretty well in my garage.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Garage Chat: Our shop floor at work is holding up incredibly well, but we epoxied it before ever letting anything greasy touch it. I would consider grinding or chiseling out any oily spots till you don't see any oil stain anymore, then washing with regular water and refilling with new mortar/cement maybe? Then acid wash the whole floor. Note: this is based on zero experience, just what I'd do if I was going to try and make it hold up. When/if we build a shop-garage-mahal, I'll be epoxying it the second the concrete's cured enough.

She was absolutely stunning when I first met her and she did some modeling in college but she was actually kind of brilliant and wanted to be a psychologist. When she moved to Florida a few years ago and then posted pictures of the house she bought with a private dock out back it was like "wow, she's making insane money all of a sudden." She was clearly mortified when she was exposed but it looks like she's over it. I'd post pictures of her but I know there's at least one rear end in a top hat here who'd track her down and try to ruin my friendship with her.

Good on her for getting over it and gently caress the cunts that have a problem with someone working as an escort. Or "slut shamers". Guy gets lots of fucks? AWESOME! Girl fucks? SHAME SHAME! What a bunch of hypocritical bullshit, there frankly should be MORE women who have no problem with banging whomever and how many other people they choose. Some goony fucks need to think this one through for a sec - if women want to put out, this is a GOOD thing. And so what if they ask to be paid? Sure, why not? Frankly a bunch of people need to mind their own loving business and stop giving a poo poo what other do of their own free consenting will in private.

When you're wallowing in the mire and flagellating yourself over perceived failures (real or otherwise) culminating in a recent breakup, I have found few better therapies than splitting wood until your arms start giving out. Got a half-cord done; gently caress I'm out of shape. Felt great afterwards. Caught a nice looking lady giving me the eye at the store this evening, and a group of kids threw wild thumbs-up at me on my motorcycle heading home. The dang world keeps on spinning.

That's the garage, and meh. This is California and we have yearly fire inspections but the FD has never said anything about it. It's wooden clapboard and surrounded by tinderbox-dry drought-stricken pines that will go up like torches in a good neighborhood fire anyway. I keep it stacked a few inches off the siding to prevent rot/stain, and try to stack it tightly to prevent rat nests but that's a losing battle. Last good brushfire to hit this area was in 1994; my dad watched the fire race 50 yards up a green/vine-covered fenceline, jump twelve feet through the air to the opposite fenceline, and burrow into a mat of pine needles like lava before igniting lower branches on a pine tree. His firehose was short by about 50 feet so he couldn't soak it and just had to sit and watch. The whole house will combust due to ambient heat before that wood pile comes into play.

Lots of DI vehicles have the same problem because there is no fuel flow cleaning the intake ports and valves so oil from the pcv system just builds up. This is a bmw 335 that had fairly low miles at the time:
