Haven't you been against that relationship since the beginning? Sounds like a mess. So many people think that being some real estate mogul is the dream but being a landlord seems like a gigantic ball ache. I doubt I will ever do it.

I don't know how people do it, even with a property manager it's a loving pain, having rental properties sounds like it would be lucrative but it's not worth the headache.

A buddy of mine just sold a bunch of his rentals and he said it was the best thing he ever did, had a giant party when the last one sold :v:

Getting old sucks. I have a serious shoulder issue, think it might be a torn rotator cuff, but I've never been in this much constant pain in my life before. It's unrelenting, and if I move my arm in the wrong position it goes to eleven to the point of making me nauseous.

Already had an x-ray which was negative, and now the VA can't get to me in a reasonable amount of time so I have to be approved to see an outside orthopedic, which in itself takes even more time. Pretty sure i'm gonna need surgery, but I needed it done like yesterday and this waiting around poo poo sucks donkey balls.

Good thing I don't have a brain tumor cuz I'd be loving dead by the time anyone got to me.

I’ve got bursitis in both my shoulders, I know that agony well. Nothing like being woken up by pain to make your morning great...

Oh god, sometimes I'll go to bed feeling ok and wake up in the middle of the night in agony. I've always been a side/stomach sleeper so it's been difficult, I've tried sleeping sitting up or on my back but I just can't do it :(

Isn't there treatment for bursitis? I can't imagine having to deal with this kind of pain for the rest of my life, I feel for you man.

When will someone make a USDM car light as the Miata or MR-S that doesn't feel like a wobbly wet noodle? I bought a fully set up miata drove the piss out of it on track and felt like it just wasn't stiff enough even with good coilovers and a hard top. Spending several thousand on weight increasing bracing just seems silly. Trying to figure out a good sub 2500-lb track car and I feel like everyone screamed "miata is the answer" and I just felt underwhelmed. Power wasn't the issue either.

Considering an integra/civic coupe, maybe this is a better inquiry for the track day / racing thread.

Doesn't a Toyobaru fit the bill there?

It’s a truly debilitating and depressing ailment cos you can’t DO anything. Wanna dig a hole? Can’t. Wanna lift something? Can’t. Wanna do gardening? Be careful how you reach or the little man with the nail gun will fire another framing nail into your shoulder...

That pretty much describes mine to a T.

I'm just hoping it's a tear and can be fixed, I couldn't deal with bursitis on top of crohn's and arthritis I feel like this poo poo is piling on me :ohdear:

[e] from some reading it appears that bursitis is treatable with physical therapy rehab?

Ah yes, the silent treatment. Dealt with that kind of poo poo in high school, sounds like someone needs to grow up and communicate their feelings.

It's got nothing to do with being a woman, and everything to do with being an insecure and/or immature person. Sounds like you need to move on honestly.

Just did my first plastic welding, using a soldering iron and a zip tie for a welding rod. It worked loving perfect, fixed two broken tabs on the air filter box for my xB, now I can get rid of the lovely noisy CAI I bought for it to replace the broken box when I first got the car, thankfully I kept all the pieces.

Should I keep the drop in K&N filter that came with it or chuck it? I've read the oil may not be so great for sensors? Confirm/deny

I've been having shoulder issues and got diagnosed with a "frozen shoulder", never heard of it until now but it is a thing and the only thing that fixes it is intense physical therapy which I just recently started. I have never been through this much pain in my life, gently caress me.

Full recovery is predicted to be anywhere from 6 months to 3 years :smithicide:

Yeah, my mom got that over a year ago and is still recovering. But she has been making incremental progress.

Does she still have pain or just limited movement? I can deal with the flexibility issue, it's just the non stop pain that's wearing me down. Supposedly it goes through phases and the pain stops eventually but idk, it's probably different for everyone.

Yeah, I just figure that any used car I buy is getting new rubber all around and a new battery in the first couple months. It has happened often enough at this point that I just write it into the purchase price in my budget.

Lol I thought it was just bad luck for thinking the same way but yeah that's totally accurate. I thought my wife's Lexus was good to go when i bought it, but upon closer inspection the tires had some dry rot going on so I checked the date and yep, three years over due, gently caress. Shortly after that, got my xB and the same thing, "it's got good Michelins on it!" yeah the tread is good but they are dry rotted and a year past the date. Still driving on those tho :v:
