The beach look is starting to go out of fashion (at least in my locale), but probably has a year left in it. You should, though, be able to wear something like that only only on summer days and never in the fall or winter, even if it is sunny outside. Springtime is stretching it. Do not wear any hats in fall, winter, or spring.

WTF? I think someone's watched one too many episodes of Queer Eye.

i thought this was an international message board where someone was always awake?.

i have a serious case of insomnia and the posts don't seem to be moving very quickly.

maybe i'm drunk and have a case of the slow motions.. my sentences seem to be getting shorter.. why is this happeningt?.

sonnyboy

Ray, you and I are in the same time zone.

It's now 5:18 and I guess I'd better force myself to get some shut-eye. I have a vet appointment in the morning (for my dog, not me), and I don't want to be too groggy.

just a quick vent, ignore me.. .

there has been a project going on at work for 2 months.

it was due for the customer by the 1st.

Dude, the lower guy will ALWAYS get dumped on in one form or another.

As associates, we often think of our bosses as 'holier than thou' beings who will stand up and take responsibility. WRONG!

They're just like us, but the employment gods have smiled in their favor.

car advice

hey my dad is going to trade my gmc 2004 single cab black truck for a new ford mustang but i dont really want that because it will be expensive.

if i had it my way i wouldve bought the 1991 honda crx this chick at work was selling for 800 bucks.

so instead of the mustang i want to trade in for a new or used honda civic.

As far as cars breaking down, it seriously has to do with the make and model. If you have a choice between a nice used car and a new piece of crap, always go for the used one. I can't STAND seeing people buying junky new Focuses and Kias when they could have a top-of-the-line used Grand Prix or Accura for the same price. It's ridiculous. Like JH said, some people simply have a 'new car' fetish. I'm SO glad that I don't have that. I bought my 'used' Grand Prix six years ago and it has never given me any problems whatsoever. It's been like brand new ever since. A real champ.

Anyway, in your case, I'd go with whatever YOU can personally afford. I know what it's like to be in debt to your parents...not through me, but my brother. Even if they DON'T say you have to pay them back, they will expect favors in return for the rest of your life. They will always think of you as 'owing' them. I have never borrowed one red cent from my parents in all my life. Seriously. The only thing I accepted outright was holiday gifts.

I think you would feel much better if you got a used car on your own. I know I did.

all of us have been tit-sucking jehovahs witnesses at one point in our lives, and we have been deceptively forced to give up our very own individuality to become one group united under, supposedly, god's only earthly organization.

just maybe, maybe throughout your much hated dull life, as a brainless witness, you weren't allowed to experience the necessities of life, such as satan's blaring rock and roll that you oh so always wanted to listen to, dressing up in those flaming hot name brand clothes lines, being part of a sports team, knowing what true bonding friendship and competition really meant, or chosing those friends you know would never turn you in for having that nightly drink at the club.

now that we know the real truth, and the damage has been done, what have you done to repair it?

sonnyboy

That's normal, TR.

The thing I learned about crushes is not to dwell on them unless you're sure something can come of it. It's ok to fantasize, but obscession is never a good thing.

I've had so many go-nowhere crushes in my lifetime that I could write a book. It seems that when you have a serious crush, your mind can trick you into believing that it's something more than it actually is. At least that's been the case with me. It can make you do some stupid **** if you're not careful.

Sorry, i can't see why you would anything w somrbody for absolutely no reasons.

Satanus, (I love your ID)

I totally understand your viewpoint. It's completely normal, but there were reasons.

My best friend and I were workmates who had absolutely nothing in common. We started hanging out after work because...we both had very few friends at the time.

This has been an eye-opening experience for me because I was taught to believe that like-minded-individuals must stick together. This is SO far from the case. Every friend that I now have (most of them are not really close, but stop by from time to time) has very different interests than me. Sure we share some common ground, as does everyone else on the planet, but we don't necessarily 'fit in' to the same clique.

When I tell some of these people that I no longer believe in God and am experimenteing with the occult, they get freaked out. They cannot realate whatsoever. But, we still hang out and enjoy one another's company.

I forgot to add one of my pet peeves: People who claim to know who they are or pressure other people into finding out who they are.

The fact of the matter is, NO ONE knows who they are. If people actually did, the world would be a utopia. We simply create ideals and attempt to live up to them.

The problem with the world is that too many people claim to 'know' themselves and religiously stick to this standard. They're setting definitions for themselves which may not necessarily be true, because what they believe about themselves may be a lie.

NTA,

I've found that we can have a melting pot of good friends. It bothers me that some people think that they need to 'fit in' with a certain crowd to make this happen.

Interests and similarities aside, good people can definitely click with other good people regardless of background.

When my best friend and I first met, we had absolutely nothing in common. We'd hang out and have a beer or two, but that was about it. We now do a lot of the same things together, but it was an evolving process. We both took things from our own personalities and experiences, eventually combining them to find common ground.

That's the coolest type of friendship IMO.
