My parents discovered I was gay at the end of my senior year of high school, right before graduation. My father beat me nearly unconscious and I literally ran out of the house with only the clothes I was wearing. I snuck back in twice to get some things, but it barely amounted to a suitcase’s worth of stuff.

I stayed…

As someone one with a son with autism the #1 thing you need to do is make sure you get your ass to these meetings. Do not under any circumstance let the school make it out for you without being there. A lot of schools will just write it in their best interest and not your child’s. If you don’t go after enough time has…

Knowing your rights can mean knowing what your rights aren’t just as much as knowing what they are, as there’s no faster way to be dismissed as an unreliable source if you’re asking for things that are clearly unreasonable, be they things that are overreaches (such as discipline leniencies while maintaining classroom…

In my son’s early days of school (k-3 grade) his resource teacher would start off the meeting by going around in a circle and talking about his strengths. I loved this. It put everyone in a friendly mood and it really made me feel great to hear good things about my son. When you have a child in the special school…

There’s nothing wrong with LingLong tires. Been running Crosswind ATs on my truck for about a year now. Even being 2wd they’re damn good off the beaten path, and I’ve put about 15k on them and they ride nice, are smooth on the highway, and don’t squat like my old Coopers did when I’ve got 2500lbs in the bed. $500 for…

I think a wealth tax would be a mistake, but rolling back Trump’s tax cut from 2017 is a good first step. Also eliminating the carried interest deduction. 

It’s a standard offer on my Venture One card - like it never expires
It treats transfers like purchases, so there’s no cost if you pay it off in time - I time it so it lands on day one of my billing cycle.
I use it to extend the credit on my BoA card., like I said
I have a very neat overlap with the two cards, so I can…

ears? you’re doing it all wrong!  

Old man checking in....

Look, if you don’t see the reason why we don’t talk about Chesterton’s fence, then I’m going to need you to stick to sports until you see why...

You’re forever with me, leather.

Goodbye everyone. It’s been a hell of a ride. Never made it out of the greys but that’s ok.

I wish I’d known that this is a love story where you do everything you can so that the other is able to leave you behind someday.
