Some of the CDs I purchased in the ‘80's have rotted to the point of unreadability; fortunately I’d already ripped them.

There’s a kid down the street with a 370z; my spouse had 0 qualms about ratting him out to his parents for speeding up the street (buddy, it’s 25 mph for a reason, that’s an elementary school at the end of the block). He toned it down... for a week or two. Sigh.

Starred for user name and content :D

yeah, you’re being willfully ignorant and obtuse

My sister’s ex wasn’t having an affair (that we know of), but he didn’t want to be a parent and she did. Our mom traveled cross-country to support my sister during and immediately after birth (kid was breech, ended up with a c-section) and she intimidated him* into staying around to help during the immediate…
