    I recommend your cat. Or a maul. Flares tend to exacerbate the problem, makes them flare-up, if you will.
    Was your dad a moron?

    Driver ed on a closed track at a high school in Detroit. First day all of us get into a station wagon. Instructor asks if anyone had done any driving with their dad.* One girl said yes. The instructor put her behind the wheel and told her to back out. She drove forward through a fence.

    *Unlike most kids I learned to drive from my mom, who was a much better driving instructor than driver. My dad had already had a heart attack or two by then, although he was the one who took me to the empty mall parking lot one Sunday to practice skids. I took my kids to Truckee High--schools are about the only empty parking lots on Sundays any more. And churches.

    Christmas dinner was late in 2017 because I had to go pull thing#2 and my wife out of the ditch at the American Legion parking lot about 30 minutes before I was supposed to put the roast in. Chucklehead managed to leave the house in slippers, pajamas, and no jacket, under my wife's supervision, for a "quick driving lesson with the stick shift." It took longer than 30 minutes to get unstuck.

    But he isn’t immune to bad decisions. Flares in the attic is one of them. I could probably think up another incident to make him sound like a moron. Homie is always pushing the envelope.

    Exactly. Not the post you intended it for, but it fits. Mailman must have been smart because the kid sure is. But man does he make some silly decisions. Hopefully wisdom will arrive with age.

    When a deadbeat writes "final payment" in the note section of a check, is that legally binding?
    I see conflicting info online.

    No wonder there are so many bad drivers or drivers that seem to have zero awareness of rules of the road. Sure you are supposed to put in “your hours” with parents etc but having another adult pointing out things to me was essential to driving awareness.
    I guess when schools have to cut something it makes sense on the surface but I see the repercussions of this multiple times a day and it seems like a worthy investment
    I'm old enough to bitch about teenagers driving by my house too fast, and it wasn't a school offering when I took it, either. I think part of the equation is regional.

    If you don't say anything people will think you're wise. That's good enough. IME.

    So why are you asking on line?

    If it’s made in good faith and if the amount in question is not well defined, then maybe. If somebody’s just trying to scam you and/or you have contracts or otherwise clearly defining what is owed, probably means nothing at all and is just silly bullshit to (threaten to) go to court over.

    My undentist opinion is that the memo section of a check means absolutely nothing.

    Does it mildly annoy or amuse anyone else when you see someone sporting TRG gear when you know for sure they wouldn’t know a Mag if one took a dump on their head?

    I was at the pool this afternoon/evening and saw three unrelated people wearing TGR shirts. I know all these people and none of them are action sports enthusiasts.

    Not a single bathrobe among em and none looked like Fred either (but the two women who are very fit looked great in their T’s fwiw).

    It’s like it’s the Bison hat for summer 2023.
    I still call it The Jake.

    Dude. I’m in bumfuck rural Japan driving by rice fields as my daily commute.

    There is no normal maggot. We’ve infected all corners of this wound of human existence.




    Edit— I think I just read that I need a TRG sticker on my car. Harry sent me a Change For A Nickle sticker. Happening soon. Will post pics.

    Pm your addy. You need a trg sticker
    Might take a half a year to get to you but worthy

    Side note but one thing I liked when we visited Hokkaido (although think you are on the mainland right?) was that the older drivers would put an autumn maple leaf sticker on their vehicles to note they were old fucks and driving slow, which I thought was sweet and valuable info.
