Eventually my birth parents divorced after a long marriage and that’s what really led to things falling apart. I think they were ashamed of it and they kind of both stopped talking to me. I chat with my birth sister and half brother somewhat often. A couple times a year. Brother lives in the same city as my in-laws so…

Former landlord here: We never outed ourselves as the owners, even though it wouldn’t have been hard to find. We simply told renters we were the property managers, which was true - we just happened to also owned the properties.

Former landlord here - yes, these things are all negotiable but in the end you’ll wind up paying in some form.

More than a one and done but not much relationship there any longer.  We were decently close for about 5 years and then started falling away - too hard to manage my birth parents, my adopted parents and my in-laws once I got married.  

Nah, it’s really not.  I’m adopted.  We tried to adopt, even when we didn’t want kids of our own.  

I have a few questions/issues.

Your story is similar to mine. I was adopted at birth but met my birth parents when I turned 18. They are both morbidly obese, as was I. I too thought you can’t fight genetics but I wound up losing 170 pounds in the last 2 years and I went from 360 to 190, where I’ve been steadily for 6 months.

How much are we betting that she was on fertility drugs?

Wait a minute - so you’re telling me it’s the GOP that’s actually the cabal of pedophiles and baby eaters? I FUCKING KNEW IT!!

COTD or COTW for sure.  

Sorry, did you mean NB2?  I’ll take everything it offers over popups any day.  More power, more comfort, better handling, VVT, etc.  

Again, can someone explain why anyone would lease a car unless your work is paying your lease for you OR you own your own business and it’s a tax break?

They all have to have a range but most say they will go above based on experience.

This is the one thing that might get me to go into Walmart...dang it

Some states are starting to understand. I’m moving from OK to CO in a month and as part of that I had to get a job that would let me work remotely or be based in CO.

People like Krave?  I tried it a few years ago and it was SO STICKY SWEET that I never tried it again.  I’m talking 5+ years ago I think, from Woot actually.  

ABW vs ABV

The difference is that it’s 3.2% ABW not ABV. Weight, not volume. And it worked out to about 4.5% ABV as it was so it didn’t matter.

May I suggest Florida or Texas?  

He did drugs, no matter the source or if it was tainted then it’s on him for doing drugs at all.
