Hey nice thread here, just wish my 2 youngest kids would get off their asses and get a job..I can't put their fucking asses out cause I'm a wimp and that would make me a bad mother and I would worry about them and this is some bullshit so typically I get angry just looking at them and randomly tell them Fuck All Yall so they think my ass crazy sometimes..I really enjoy doing that though!

My Reign Has Just Begun

After I graduated high school, I sat on my ass and did nothing for a good year. I was given a decent sum of money when I turned 18 which was supposed to be used towards school but I used it to party. I finally got my ass into gear (once I had blown through a good portion of my windfall) enrolled in school and got a real job. So, while it may seem hopeless, don't lose hope. They will get bored of sitting around or see people around them doing stuff with their lives and get motivated.

Or you can give a move out date like we did. That was some really good motivation.

Nothing is worse than car shit. My wife and I are both anti-car. I drive a company car and she is still pushing her 2009 Maxima. Both cars are paid for and its one less bill to add to the pile. All is well... or so it was.. Take my wifes car in for inspection and it barely passes. the mechanic (good guy and friend of her families) tweaked some shit so a failed sensor could squeak buy emissions but also tells us that in addition to the sensor, she will need a catalytic convertor, struts and some other shit within the next few months. Add in the new tires, brakes and we have a repair bill thats nearing the value of the car. So next week we have to go buy a new car and what started as a plan to buy something simple and affordable has mutated into brand new shiny and expensive. The sun is setting on the era of no car payments and I'm not happy. Fuck cars.
If you don't care about mpg but runs forever, the 4runner. Love mine. A little costly for the limited but it sticks to the road.

Good luck with your hunting.

We will definitely check those out, thanks for the tip. Toyotas are high up on our list and my work pays for the entire family's gas so MPG's are not that big of a deal to us.

My mom and dad are extremely forgiving and lenient. I could probably still be there today doing nothing and they would still support me. I have a brother who just turned 30 and is still living there. He's got a MBA and a decent job and even owns a condo which he rents out but refuses to move despite them not being able to stand him. They don't ask him to pay any bills or help out in anyway. So, since all his income is pretty much profit, he can afford to drive a benz and travel all over the place. However, if he was out on this own, paying bills, buying food, etc, he'd be living like the rest of us.

gotta love it when something becomes the thing it tries to make itself out not to be.

the pinnacle of hypocrisy

People get way too overly angry at things that happen on the forums. Meanwhile the rest of us have lives to live and bigger worries to deal with than words on a screen. And only come here to talk vaping or talk to friends.

There's a little bar on the right, you can keep scrolling if a post bothers you. Or, if you are really that upset, there's a little red box in the upper corner with an X in it. Click that, and go have a drink, hug a family member, or find something else to make you smile. It's really not worth getting upset over

We support our kids. it was just time. He was 26 so I don't want you to think I am a heartless bastard.

NP, many models so read the reviews and what you get in each one. The limited is great in an area that gets snow. I don't live in that area but I wanted vented seats so that's what I got.

Happy hunting.

Still haven't vaped today. That's my gripe.

Oh no I wasent implying that at all. That's actually the exact opposite of heartless. It takes loving parents to motivate their children to succeed and make tough calls like that. What my parents do is actually detrimental.

I used to have the same attitude. Fuck new cars and the payments. Why eat the cost of it all, right?

I drive NEW shit now. Just like you mention of the repair bills, given the fact I don't turn my own wrenches anymore. I simply don't have time, nor do I want to.

Well used cars have no value. They are someone else's junk. They cost more to repair and keep roadworthy than they are worth.

My new stuff has a warranty, and all I pay for is oil changes and MAYBE tires before I trade it in. Pay some every month, or pay BIG every few months.

I also don't have to worry about getting stranded by my worn out POS. I get a tow to the dealership for free, and I get a free car to use if they need to work on it.

Sure it costs money. But to be honest, IDC anymore. I'll pay for it because it's well worth the expense.

I absolutely loath any type of around the house project, my wife on the other hand lives for it. Nothing brings her more joy than repairing something I would usually call someone to fix. When it comes to stuff like that, I'm her bumble fuck assistant who gets in the way.

Yes, we had plans to go somewhere one Saturday. She wakes up on the previous Friday and tells me I am painting the bathroom as she can't take it any longer. I didn't see an issue with it. Guess what happened? I slapping new layer of paint. YAY, ME.

I WON. My wife told me today that she doesn't even correct me any more. No matter how I mix things up, right side up or upside down.

You know what that means? I am RIGHT. :shades: And she better never forget it.

No, she just doesn't let on about her truth. ;)

True story... dude I was in a really long relationship with quite some time ago, used to get refills for me at self serve hole in the wall joints, or whatever. He used to always keep my cup in his right hand, a way to always remember who's was who's. He explained to me he did so, because "Huck" is always right. Y'all learn. You do.

Ahhh, grasshoppa. You know me well. :vino:

haha. I miss my Nokia! that was my first cell phone and I still have it. In fact, not to long ago I found it at the bottom of a box in my bedroom. I plugged it in, charged it up and it still works after all these years.
