Applebees Appetizer posted:Ha, my wife is taking her mom to the festival tomorrow because she has never been, is it even worth going to these days? Last time I went about ten years ago it was a waste of time, it was like a traveling carnival that I can see when it's down the street from my house, not even worth the drive over there. It's a pain in the rear end is what it is. It's literally just a carnival that has some strawberries at it. That's it. And it's dry, so you can't even have a beer to take the edge off the Gibsonton-bred folk shouting at you from every ride and game. If they go, tell her that if they're thirsty they need to find the Catholic church booth/tent (easy to find, it's where the make your own strawberry shortcake line starts) because a fountain drink is a dollar, bottled water is two bucks. Rest of the fair a smaller drink starts at 4 bucks. Edit: I was down in your neck of the woods today, goddamn gently caress why is every road in and out a loving toll road

InitialDave posted:What the actual gently caress? Welcome to America, yo. I can't have a beer at the festival, but before the livestock auction they prayed for all the concealed carriers in the audience. The auction is for school children who have raised the animals, btw. And before they show the animals they say the pledge of allegiance, sing the national anthem, and do a prayer. The prayer centered around guns and murica, and then when he was done he said how we should ALL pray and be thankful for those in the audience who are carrying firearms because "pew-teen" wants to nuke us, and Donald Trump will make us strong. This is an event run by and for the schools, sponsored by the county and state. But on the dry subject, I grew up in a dry county. Hell, Jack Daniels is distilled in a county where you can't buy said product. But you can surely buy a loving gun.

Wife and I have been married for 10 years this September, and together for 16 total minus a few months in the beginning years. All marriage really does is cement the fact that there isn't an easy out, and encourages you to work poo poo out. Our marriage hasn't been perfect, and we've fought bad enough for long enough that separation and divorce became an option, but it's still worth it. Our biggest issue was for the beginning 6 years of our marriage, I was gone constantly. You can't learn how to deal with one another when one person is gone for 10 months a year. Once we were more stable is when poo poo got super rough, but we worked it out because we both really do want to be together and we learned how to change and get better. It's not even like we have kids to cement it, we really are just best friends with a bigger commitment.

Anyone who is into racing, camping and mixes of the above but hasn't been to Sebring needs to go. Holy poo poo this is amazing. Edit: I've walked 24 miles in two days and gone through just shy of two cases of beer by myself. There are 3 different bands playing in my vicinity. A 60+ year old man in a thong has been walking around. A 73 year old woman made me do a beer bong with her. I watched someone fall head first out of a portashitter. Someone's tent caught fire because of bottle rockets. My life is better now for having come here. iwentdoodie fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Mar 17, 2018 |

But generally you discuss it first and it's not a sudden thing. Randomly bailing for a fixable issue if you never bring it up is an amazing dick move. Also my wife just called right as the race went green and a car spun in front of me. She couldn't believe the noise of people screaming. I think I've found religion at this race.

everdave posted:Catching up, first watch chat: how can you have a $50k Rolex and not sell that? I love watches, have a bunch. All cheap. Man I get asked about this $150 “full metal” Shark brand I scored new on eBay for $42 more than I can tell you. When I’m at the beach people ask all the time about my different Neff watches that I have got for $10-15 off eBay. And all of them keep perfect time (until a random Neff will give up after being in the ocean). I love the look of Rolex and Tag and all that but the money? As broke as I've been in life I've never even thought about dumping it. It's from a close family member that almost nothing else exists that was theirs, and it was something given to them for a large accomplishment (Lol no one in my family could have ever BOUGHT a rolex). Same reason I have a WW1 issue 1911 with legitimate ivory grips in my gun case. I don't shoot it, and it's worth quite a bit of money, but it's a family passdown that is very sentimental. Some things are worth more than money.

Larrymer posted:I don't really "get" sentimental things. Unless somebody in my family actually made the thing and it's passed down, it's just "some old stuff" to me. Yeah, I'd sell that rolex. It's from the 30s. It was given to my grandfather (along with cash and other poo poo) by a local rich guy who's house and barn caught fire while he was out of town, and his wife and children were there. Grandfather happened to be squirrel hunting, smelled the smoke, and rushed over. He got the wife and kids out of the house, got the horses out of the barn, and then rode a horse to town and got a firebrigade going to try and get it put out. When the guy got back, his poo poo was burned, and all his barn animals and family were at my grandfather's place. So he gave him a ton of stuff. I still speak to people in that family, and it's still a story that gets told. So, it has a neat story behind it. He gave it to me right before I went to boot camp. While I was in boot camp, he died. Of course he had no will, and his oldest son from his first marriage had more money than the rest of the family combined. So he lawyered up, took everything (house, land, cars, everything) and sold or junked it before anyone else could do anything. Part of that had been promised to me, in writing and signed by him, as being mine. But we were loving poor, so nothing I could do. So it's legit all I have to remember him by other than some pictures. And if I ever see that son of a bitch again I'll end up in prison. I lost out on a loving mint REPU, as well as all of my grandmother's things that were still in the house. Edit: totally unrelated, but I somehow lost 5lbs at Sebring. Who says binge drinking is bad for you?
