She came from a pretty messed up family. Not as bad as some but there was some pretty gross stuff going on. We dated for a long time, maybe 7 or 8 years. We got married, she was safe. And she started to grow and seek therapy. She grew into herself and it turned out we didn't love each other anymore.

It's always the ones you most suspect.

But after that she died. Not a total wash, but it was the best thing she ever did.

Yoooo. This was my local news guy. MD represent!

Lol.

Give me what I want.

No.

Yes.

No.

Fine.

This concludes our one man show of Art of the Deal. Thank you for coming and remember to tip your server.

This time it's different. He likes me in a way he doesn't like the others. They were all toxic but he knows I'm true. They made him be like that. He knows I won't.

I went to my 10 year to make sure I was right. I was. I haven't gone to any others and don't even get asked.

Elmo later tweeted that rocks are hard, water is wet, and that ice cream is cold.

The government scientician says it offsets the microplastics.

Ha. To be fair, it was a joke gift, and I've only worn it once, to the givers house. I only keep it because every now and then I leave it out when we're going out to tease my wife.

I got a buck says it was some moron that doesn't (or didn't) know the difference between fertility clinic and abortion clinic.

Nope. Sorry but you're just wrong. "Han shot first" implies Greedo shot second. And he most certainly did not. Han shot, Greedo died. Green fucker with finger suckers didn't even get a shot off.

You know how a lot of computers use windows? And a lot are macs? And there's a difference between the way you have menus and apps and stuff? Linux is a third way to use your computer. But there's a lot of versions of it. It doesn't matter what kind of computer you put it on either. New, old, windows, Mac, mini computers, old laptops. Linux is simply another way to use your computer. It's really cool if you're into that kind of thing.

TRaSh 80 squad in the house. My uncle was a nerd and gave it to me thereby fostering my inner nerd. 2 floppy drives of goodness.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)

"Military personnel might use "86" to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather"). It's not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it's part of the informal jargon and culture of soldiers, sailors, and airmen due to its common and frequent use, and is a concept military members are assumed to understand, although it originates in broader civilian language."

Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/eighty-six-meaning-origin

Words can change meanings. Language is fluid.

I think the quote was "that's what high school was, cheating and bad lunches". Or something like that anyway. I never cheated. I don't think I ever got cheated on either. I think in junior and high school a lot of people are figuring themselves out and make a lot of mistakes. But I think if someone is bragging about it as an adult, that's just shitty.

Right now, Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I'm reading it because a couple of friends, a cousin and I do a little bookclub podcast. We do speculative fiction. We take turns picking a book then nerd out about them. This was Will's pick. Last pick was mine, it was the first three books in the Hitch Hikers Guide trilogy.

After this, I'm pretty sure I'm going to re-read The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. Its been dozens of years since the last time I read that.

Even if it was pretend to start with they're both so sensitive and need to be right, it'll turn into a real fight soon enough. But I agree, neither is clever enough to pretend this. For that you need professional wrestling level acting skills.

Yeah. We had a kid so we were more co-parenting than anything. We stayed friendly. Well, after a while. I was pretty hurt but eventually it all passed. And now I'm way better off. Im married again and this time I can tell it's for keeps. We have our ups and downs but we both want it to last so we each work hard at it. Also, after all the child support, and kid coming of age after some pretty rough teen years, there was some heavy feelings and drama. My wife and I made an agreement that we'd never divorce; there could be a gun and a shovel either way, but no divorce.
