I am so sorry about your Honey having to have surgery. She's lucky to have ya taking such good care of her and your kids. I am sure she will be feeling better in no time!

Oh the interior pic of your truck looks so cool btw. Those old bench seats are so nice. Great job!

It's ok. But now since she's had it, no more kids. Ever. She is doing a lot better today. Glad you like the new interior :)
 
Sometimes when I least expect it, old memories come flooding back and make me mad. Mad at myself for reacting the way I did, mad at myself for even remembering it.

I think we all have memories in our past we'd rather not reflect on, but they are our memories and anything can trigger them. I'm sure you'll get back to forgetting about them and can keep going.

I'm good now, i appreciate it bro! :thumbup:
 
So my birthday is the 30th of this month and the whole family is giving me the ultimatum of random gifts or money. I've been saying money. Because I want a new pocket knife. I can't decide between two, a Spyderco and a Benchmade. the Spyderco is over $100, the Benchmade is almost $300. They're made for cops and soldiers so I'm sure either could last a long time in my boring existence. I had a really nice Kershaw that I carried every day until this past spring, a co worker got his hand and sleeve caught in a machine and I used my knife to cut his sleeve loose and then accidentally dropped it in the moving parts that had a hold of him. It destroyed the knife but I'm cool with it. It did it's job of cutting the dude loose and like a bonehead, I dropped it to it's untimely death. Oh well. I'm cool with what happened to it and I'm glad it was there for me to use to cut him loose. So I've been carrying an old tactical folding knife ever since but now I want another high dollar blade as a piece of "man jewelry". Below are pictures of the two I can't decide between. Hopefully some readers can pick which one they like the best and help me decide. I like them both but only want one. Chime in and tell me your pick :thumbup:

Well this one was good Thanksgiving day, aside from my sinus cold thing. But the dinner was absolutely perfect. Saturday is my 28th birthday and I found out today that my darling wife has invited over 25 people already. That's gonna be a huge booze bill. I always like alcohol at my birthday party :brindis: It helps lighten the mood anyway. I'll be glad to see several that I haven't seen in years. At the same time I'm kind of nervous. I hope I can get rid of this sinus problem by then too. After a while of using tissues and paper towels my nose started getting raw so I started using old T shirts to blow my nose on. And I'm on my second T shirt today. On the up side of things, I fixed a particular firearm earlier, one very dear to me, it wasn't broken per-se but it needed tweaked a bit. I did it and it turned out fantastic so I'm happy about that. It's rare that I set out to fix something and it goes according to my plan.
 
Forced myself to go to the store today...in the daylight. They should sell tickets to that freak show! Or at the very least they should install an observation deck and hand out popcorn. What a zoo. Anyway when I got home I took the kids' trampoline apart and put it in the shed so it don't fall apart from the weather this winter. The wife went to the store to buy the stuff to make me a birthday cake and left me with the kids. All three of them. Luckily the boys are asleep and my daughter is sitting on the couch watching Die Hard with me, I love the quality time. Hope she don't want me to play with her My Little Ponies again, they are somewhat creepy.

What kind of cake? I love ice cream cake, personally. Yum yum!

Happy birthday, man. It's already well into Saturday in Australia. :)

Thanks, dude! German chocolate. My favorite. But red velvet is a close 2nd! I like ice cream cake too tho. So many choices... Since today is a special day for me, I like to wish for things for my family and friends before I blow out the candles on the cake. I am wishing for something for you, man. So be on the lookout for something good today, mikey!

Happy Birthday. Or am I too late?

I cannot see the pictures of the knives (and there are so many models), but I have only heard good things about both makes.

But if I had the opportunity to buy an expensive knife I would go for a custom folder.

Hey thanks, Hoppy! Both Spyderco and Benchmade are awesome blades and I still ain't made my mind up but I'm edging more towards the Spyderco just in case it gets destroyed like the last one: $100 knife falling into running machinery VS. $300 knife falling into running machinery... Never too late for birthday wishes! Thanks, dude :)
 
I was yelled at by beggars outside the mall. I don't think it worked. :bigsmile:

That's...not...really...what...I...had...in...mind... No beautiful, sun-baked Aussie gal gave you her number? No? Not one? Wtf!!! MY MAGIC 8-BALL MUST BE DEFECTIVE! I tried :crying:
 
Well yesterday was my birthday. The wife invited almost 30 people. Almost 30 people said "I'll be there." I anticipated 15 or 20 would be here. I went out and bought a bunch of alcohol and snack type stuff and changed into not-ripped-up-jeans and we sat and wait, and wait, and wait, and nobody came. And I never want gifts, just come over and visit a while. I see how this is going. I go to their weddings, birthdays, funerals, their kids' birthdays and crap. And I've done this for years. And for the last 4-5 years nobody comes to MY birthday. I'm seeing a pattern. And these are people I've known longer than I've known my wife. Tree fell on your car? I'll come cut the tree up, you take my truck to work, it's cool. Your roof is leaking? No problem, I'll fix it since you don't have the tools, I'll even bring the new shingles with me, no you don't owe me nothing, we're friends! Your car won't start? Here take mine and I'll take the day off and I'll fix yours, it's what friends do! You went to the gun range and your favorite pistol broke? Here, borrow one of mine while I order the parts to fix yours and file them and polish them and get it working again. The coyotes are killing your cows again? Of course I'll come right over and shoot them. Your kid's go cart won't start anymore? Drop it off at my house and leave it in the garage and I'll fix it this weekend. Your dog has rabies and is trying to kill you? I'm sorry. You stay in your house and I'll come take care of it. Well... not anymore! And these friendships have been one-sided for years now but this was the tipping point. I'm through. I'm done with it. No more! I don't care what's broke or what won't start and how much of a hurry you're in, I QUIT!

I changed my avatar to Walter White from Breaking Bad after I watched the last season tonight. I will dearly miss that show. I wasn't even this brokenhearted when The Sopranos ended. I've been an avid fan since 2008. Now it's like there's a big void in me. I know it's just a TV show but I've been anticipating new episodes and DVD releases for 5 years now. Oh well. At least I have all seasons on DVD. So, due to my sadness, my new avatar is Heisenberg - before he was Heisenberg. If only he had gotten rid of that stupid poetry book that other scientist dude gave him... Hank and Walter and that hottie Lydia would still be alive :crying: I thought Lydia was hot.
 
Walking into work today, I had an immediate disagreement with a co worker as to where a piece of heavy machinery should be placed. He made the mistake of asking me "Where do you think I should put the stupid thing!?" To which, I said "How about you turn it sideways, and park it up your ***." He got a stunned look on his face and I walked off before my anger peaked. He is one of those guys that knows everything and to him everyone else is an idiot. We rarely agree on anything. I can honestly say I hate him. He is the most arrogant, undermining, nit-pickey co worker there! Other than that it was a pretty uneventful day. Besides arguing with the wife over her painting the kitchen while I was at work. I'm loathe to changes of any kind. My own problem, I know, and I need to work on it. After telling the co worker to park the new machinery in his rear end, the union representative told me I needed to work on my people skills. "We can't have that in the work place, jc972. He could file a formal complaint." To that end I replied, "He can take his formal complaint and roll it up and shove it in his *** too!" He shook his head and smiled and walked away. He is a good dude, that union rep, and he don't like that particular guy either :sarcastic: I hate dealing with people.

So this evening we went to the Christmas play at the church the wife goes to. The old lady and daughter were playing parts in it and it was great, they did a good job. But the wife has this friend there and she is probably 35 or so, maybe. She is gorgeous, tall and blonde, big green eyes like mine and built like the perfect example of what I like in a woman. The girl is hot. It's that simple. So before their play gets started I'm chatting with the wife's hot friend and she gives me a hug, which she always does, but this time while she was hugging me she kissed me on the neck! Kissed me! On the neck! Ok that's like flippin the sex switch in my brain, like that's where my mind goes when I get kissed on the neck! So it really turned me on even in my state of shock and wondering why she just did that. I somehow kept my composure and kept acting like nothing. But after a minute or so I went to find a seat with my oldest son, he was standing by me when she did that. I needed to sit down. Physical reasons. And I flirt with girls, I always have, but I don't kiss them and they don't kiss me. That just don't happen. Especially in a church! I'm sitting there watching the Christmas play in a state of aroused shock, feeling like I did something wrong when I know I didn't. She kissed me on the neck before I knew what she was doing cause I wasn't expecting that at all! After the thing was over, I'm standing there with my son waiting on the wife and the other kids and the friend's 16 year old daughter comes up and starts talking to me, and we've never spoke before at all before. She's asking me if she did a good job in the play and if I like her new car and if I'd like to drive it. I'm kinda gettin creeped to the max after what her mom did to me. So I'm talking to the younger one (who looks just like her mother) and I'm being bombarded with questions like "Do you like my new glasses? Do they look nice on me? What year did you graduate? You're not THAT much older than me. I like your truck, can I drive it one day to school? Do you like my dress? Mom says it's too short (it was), but do I look good in it?" I was as vague with my replies as I could be and her mom, the wife's friend walks up and says they have to go home as she smiled at me, and then winked at me! Winked at me! After kissing me on the neck and flippin that switch in my man-brain! I thought at first she meant to kiss me on the cheek, which would've been weird enough, that is until the wink and the come-hither look she gave me. Yeah, that look! Tell me it was an accident and she is just friendly and maybe a little flirty. Tell me she didn't know what that would do to me. Tell me she had no idea. Surely a grown woman in her 30's would know what that does to a man. Help me out here, talk some sense into me. Am I reading too much into this? Oh, and after we get home I get a text from her on my cell phone, "Hey, just look over Kimmy (her daughter), she has a huge crush on you. She's just a kid. I know you understand." I kinda figured that by the girl's body language and general nervousness when she was hammering me with questions. So I text back "It's no problem, I understand. These things happen lol." And I get one from her that says "I knew you'd understand, you're the best :)" If any girls read this, please give me your thoughts on it. And men too, what would you do? How would you handle it? Would you tell the wife? I'm so creeped out and confused I don't know what to do. Help! S.O.S. Mayday mayday mayday! Man in trouble!

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot in the midst of all this sexy creepiness, she is married too! And he was there! And he's a good dude, totally not a douche bag at all. That's even worse! God, I feel so, icky.

She likes you, alright! I don't know anything about your marriage but I believe that is something that should be told to a spouse. As long as you don't think you're going to "do anything", don't worry about it. Have a good laugh about it. We all like to have our egos stroked.
