More or less my constant state of being.

All of that wide eyed enthusiasm. My cynical old crone heart can’t keep up.

Two doors, as the lord intended.

Seeing that old girl on the road brings my heart a lot of joy.

Mo money = mo booze.

Mine has adjusted reasonably well to being locked out by getting lots of snuggles and exercise during the humans-are-awake hours. The thing that really helped was after my shower at night, I put my work shirt in the hall where she likes to sleep. The previous nights work shirt goes in the hamper. She likes sleeping on…

Have you considered things like opportunity costs related to financing with good terms? And that the current economic situation impacts a lot more than car purchases, like home purchases? And that there isn’t a one size fits all answer to all situations?

I’m in Texas too. I feel like everyone under the age of 35ish realizes how bad it is and everyone over is either blissfully ignorant or thinks it’s unique to their company. People look at you like you’re from the moon when you say it’s hard to find work as an engineer.

I’ve had a handful of different positions in manufacturing. I’d like to get out of manufacturing but it’s an o&g heavy area so the competition is stiff with the market being low. I’m happy to move but no one long distance will give me the time of day.

I didn’t go in to STEM expecting to find it rewarding, but good god I did not anticipate it being as volatile as it is.

If it’s a dedicated off road vehicle, autos are fine by me. Daily driver double duty? Manual, always. I’m too fidgety for my own good.

Not Texas. The answer is always “toll roads/privatization!” ‘round here.

Bill Nye would never!

The more I have to do in a car to keep making it go, the more aware I am of WHAT the car is doing and what I am doing to the car. So, confirm.

And yet they did not treat my house like it was their own. Aka, clean up after themselves. It’s like their common sense went out the window as soon as a woman was thrown in the mix. I know they did not do that shit in their own homes!

Make sure it’s available with something that isn’t a black cloth seat. Because eewww.

Would this be good reading for someone with no intention of procreating but who has had multiple relationships fail due to unequal labor division? ASKING FOR A FRIEND.
