I can't even begin to imagine the luxuries that would have to be provided for me to pay £500 a night for a hotel room out of my own pocket.

I spent $400 on a room in a casino in Bilouxi on my last road trip. Awesome bathroom, huge bed that ways one of the most comfortable I've ever layed in and just tons of space everywhere. I had people who couldn't understand why I would spend that much on a hotel room but it was worth it after a hot nasty day on the road. Given the choice, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

That's pretty common for people deep into alcoholism and their ability to get actual drinking alcohol diminishes. At this point the liver is already shot and they're dead in 5-10. Sooner if income falls off even sharper.

I'm trying to get caught up on this thread, but it's difficult now that they blocked the forums at the office.

Ah, gently caress, assumptions is the mother of all fuckups. I just looked through it and saw you being one of a few who hadn't posted in a) a long time generally and b) since mid-december in the AISS thread. My apologies.

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

I'm so excited, we've accepted an offer on our house for exactly what we expected to get.

I need to reconfirm the mortgage offer from the bank then we can go shopping, there's basically three houses on our shortlist and I'd be happy with any of them. Top favourite has a double garage already :hellyeah:

The main thing though is the kids will have their own rooms.

So today i woke up by having to meet with te exes mom to hand off storage keys, where i dropped and shattered my iphone. I get to work and have to clean by the dumpsters where i discovered what its like to step into still warm human feces, sweep up and throw out two other older turds, a syringe, four condoms, a piss jug, empty bottle of bacardi, and now i'm at home drinking a beer preparing to lose one of the cats in the divorce any minute now.

Its raining and I'm expected back at work once I'm done.

Don't respond. Block her number and sever.

Oh man, we haven't been Facebook friends since well before we actually divorced. I speak to her about the kids and that's it. I meant our large number of mutual friends. I don't want to defriend all of them, but I did defriend the ones that would participate in high school level bullshit like that.

She is a habitual poo poo-stirrer and she seems to be quite bothered by the fact that I'm dating and happy.

gently caress the special tool, use slip-joint pliers on the body of the piston to turn it, gripping on the very end so as not to damage the surface that runs in the bore. Or a regular pin spanner in the slots on the end face. The combi "screw and spreader" tools are an utter oval office to do anything with.
Stupid thing was stuck until I rotated it out a bit then it slid right in. E21 brakes are plumbed, flushed and ready to go. Tomorrow it's fill the diff and transmission fluid then see if I can get the header on somehow, not enough space in the engine bay to lower it in and car isn't high enough to put it in from the bottom. That or I'll tear the exhaust manifold off the parts car and toss that on temporarily, just want something on there when I try to fire it up. It isn't going to be driving by my birthday but if I can at least run it for a bit I'll be happy.

drat that would be a nice setup. I wish I would have shopped around a bit longer to find something with more garage and less house.

Nice work everyone getting new jobs and having non-poo poo interviews. I keep getting offered spots in WI/MN but I'm not sure I want to move back up North yet.

Years ago when my 1st gen poo poo brown Zune crapped itself (a year of bouncing around in a cupholder is not good for a mechanical hard drive) Microsoft sent me a new one no questions asked.
