Bro.....sorry to hear. I'd be lying if I didn't say that both of the ex-wives took a part of my soul with them. Definitely a redefining chapter in your life. My only advice. Don't date for a while. Go do shit you enjoy doing. Learn to be happy with life without someone in it first.

We scan everything. Not exactly sure what all the paper is about. I on the other hand do tend to print out stuff instead of working on my computer, like say excel spread sheets if I'm doing a bid or something. Can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess.

The one who sits behind me, prints PO's on one printer, takes the PO's to another printer to scan them......back to herself, to then email them. Of course, everyone else is an idiot but her. If I were the captain, she'd be fired over paper and toner usage alone. Understanding how the equipment works should be part of being a professional. I tried to explain once, that she could save the file and then email it as an attachment. She looked at me like I was trying to explain quantum mechanics.

I signed the papers in early February. I had a trip planned for late April to meet some friends in FL. I told myself that the old me was getting on the plane and the new me was getting off. When I got off the plane, my mourning was over. It's a very personal thing, deal with it however you see fit. Everyone is going to have opinions and give you advice. They mean well but just do you. It will get better. Hang in there. Look on the bright side - at least it was quick. It took three years for me from separation to divorce.

Now I should go back and read this for myself because I'm pretty fucking pissed right now and can't get past it. After 9 years the prick didn't even call or text me when my dad passed away. I'm done with men. The first one took a chunk of change and the second ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped it into little pieces.


My offer is and has been valid. Give me a call if you want to talk, I'd say I'm a good listener.

I went to cash a few weeks ago on my 401K. Yesterday I was kicking myself in the ass. Today, not so much.

I would say take it to the gym, but I found that when I'm pissed, I havea great workout. When I upset about something that I can do nothing about, it's not the same. Projects during this time is key. Work on the car, the house or reward yourself with something you like to do or go on a road trip to see friends.

Can't even get into my personal brokerage account at the moment.

Not even a robinhood account. This is at one of the big BDs. Unacceptable

Never use drywall screws to mount anything of any significant weight. Either find a stud or use these.

That duct tape didn't help much did it? I'd be more appreciative to the fact that when the bike/rack fell that it didn't damage the drywall than being exposed to asbestos; but then again, had it damaged the wall, you'd need to be worried about both. Buy those toggle bolts in the link I posted, follow the instructions and mount that bitch back to the wall.
oh yeah i always see my pops use it for the stuff. Didnt know what that plastic piece was. THANKS!

I think your problems might be solved not by a slap across your face, but if you slap something on the detailer's face.

Not forward enough. You didn't provide details as to what device is to be used for said slap.

I say 86 the slap and go with the clap.....of the cheeks.

Isn't it funny how most men will lie to try and get laid, but then fail most of the time? But then when you realize, all you have to do is be completely honest, it literally falls in your lap. The ole' "I'm not trying to be in a relationship" talk.

Yeah there are a few of those already. Not looking for anything serious is what I say.

Gotta confess: I'm laying off several employees this afternoon. I'm dreading it. I cant count how many people I've laid off over the years. 75? 100? It never gets any easier. Firing is easier because they usually deserve it. But a single dad with 2 young kids who does a great job? It fucking sucks. Fucking COVID.

I concur through my own tacit knowledge, you couldn't be more correct. On ALL of it.
