The first time I used a loofah, I fell in love. It felt so much cleaner getting all that dead skin and sweat off my body. I used so much soap the shower looked like the inside of a washing machine just before the spin cycle. Then i tried washing my pecker with it. I can only desribe the color as an angry purple. Do not try this at home.

Where should I try it?

I use it to shoot wombats in beggar's canyon, back home.

My stepdad finished his battle with lung cancer this morning. No need for the spoiler tag, cancer wins again.He taught me how to play chess, which at age 8 I was beating him pretty regularly after a couple of weeks. And he taught me racquetball, where at 17 and 18 years old, I never could beat him. He took care of my mom, who in their 30 years together, was sick more often than she was well. And never once was I "step" anything to him, only his son. Love you Dad.

:sigh:Hits pretty close to home since I just lost my 'step' father a month ago. We're pretty lucky that we had good ones that cared for us like we were their own.

Sorry for the slow response. Yeah, it was the food co-op guy's kid. Pronija pegged the culprit, altho he was pretty far off on the descriptions. The c-op guys in not a hippie at all. More of an off the grid semi-survivalist. But he has great connections at Whole Foods and Central Market, getting lots of great food products from them at really good prices. He has four sons and the oldest worked for me a couple years ago, then the next, and finally this one. They are all very ahrd workers and until this one, the integrity has been spot on. This one caught me off-guard. Knowing his father and brothers, I placed a great deal of trust in him. He was extremely courteous and deferential. He completely snowed me. he was stealing from me from day one. On the last day he stole our wedding rings and some other jewelry. Wife is really pissed.

Anyway, I have know his father a long time and I want to work with him on what to do. All the stuff is in pawn shops, so first order of business will be to get it all retrieved. i don't really want to involve the police, as he'd probably get a couple years and be well on the path to worthless.I want to get my stuff back, but I also want to do whatever will be most likely to get the kid off the path he is on. Its kind of hard to be magnanimous because I get so furious when I think how he deceived me and took advantage of me. I mean, I fixed the kid lunch every day. Made his burgers with no cheese, no tomatoes. Give him advances. Let him get seat time on the tractor to try and learn to use the backhoe, yada, yada.

Anyway, his father is a good man and I told him I would do what he think will be best. His other son is now working on oil rigs in Oklahoma and he is thinking of sending him there where tolerance for bul#### and con artist is very poorly received.

You are too nice.

Question: If you can prove that all of the stuff is yours at the Pawn Shops, do you just get it back? Is the Pawn Shop out of luck here?

And how did you nail the suspect?

My condolences, Bogart. This kind of stuff is always heartbreaking. This thread is really on a rough slide these days.

Sorry Bogart. Though very sad, everything you wrote was very beautiful and touching.

there's been so much hardship in this thread recently!

in order to try to turn the karma around, i'm willing to put myself at the mercy of this thread.

i've got a couple things coming up that the FFA could help shape...

a. my 'friend with benefits' will apparently allow me to take pictures of her doing absolutely anything, as long as her face isn't in them. i'm not sure when i'll see her again, but i'll take suggestions. if you want to see any of her previous work and haven't yet, send me a PM and a way to send them to you (email or text) and i'll send along.

ii) i'm going on a date tomorrow night with a girl that i kind of think i might like. i'm pretty sure this is the first girl i've been out with since i've been single again where there is 0 chance of teh sechs on date #1. i'll take shtick suggestions on this, but might be a little more choiceful than with #a) above

gamma] i'm coaching my first (and second) game ever this weekend. my daughter's kingergarten & 1st grade soccer team. we've had 2 practices... only 4 girls showed up to the second one. they are terrible. beyond horrible. there is one girl that is legit good and one that is pretty good. one girl that picks flowers, one girl that is afraid of everything and the other ones suck. any shtick suggestions? I'm the assistant coach, but the head coach has less of an idea of what he's doing than i do and he always seems to ask me for advice. he's a good dude, but i bet i could pull off plenty of things without him caring. all options are open within reason - my outfit, formations on the field, things i shout, etc.

GMTAN, i am your muse...

First off, I'm pretty sure I love you more than freeze pops.Friends with benefits girl: I love her. I've been collecting all of her wonderful and sometimes strange pictures that you've been sending. I feel like I "know" her. I almost want to send her a faceless picture of my junk just to reciprocate (GM spelling?) Again, I love her.

1st Date girl: What's her story? Where did she come from? How does she feel about pictures being taken of her naked body covered in chicken McNuggets? Good luck, though there is a part of me that is afraid if you really hit it off with her you may stop seeing the "friends with benefits" girl which would be sad for everyone.

Coaching little girls soccer: You're the assistant coach right? Go all Dennis Hopper from Hoosiers. Stumble onto field completely drunk and start yelling at the refs. Also, keep your eye out for Single MILFS, though really you should be doing that everywhere anyways.

Good luck with your adventures. And remember, I love you more than freeze pops.

Nothing official yet, but 3 dates in 6 days :popcorn: Last night's date was mini golf followed up by dinner and drinks. Didn't want the date to end, so came back to my place to watch a movie. I offered her a choice of drinks and she chose bourbon :thumbup:

FWB is basically begging for another rendezvous. She was in NO over the weekend for the tournament with some friends and very clearly missed me. Might not be seeing her that many more times, so i've got to think of some great shtick to go out on if i do meet up with her again!

 
Couple of things:

1. The boys stayed with my parents last week and on the way back to their house there was a dentist's office right up the street from their house that caught on fire somehow. My Dad pulled into the parking lot not realizing seeing the smoke and was about to dial 911 when firetrucks showed up. They got to see firemen take a sledge hammer to the windows and doors and while another one cut a huge hole in the roof with a chainsaw. Then of course the hoses were brought out to extinguish the blaze. Needless to say the boys thought this was all pretty awesome. When they were put to bed that night Cal remarked "I sure hope those firemen got out of there safe". Too sweet. *sigh*

2. After watching the most recent Mythbusters episode with me where they have to get off the island using only duct tape, Cal is obsessed with Mythbusters. I couldn't be happier about this. He has learned more from Curious George than I could ever imagine. I still :lmao: at "red skies at night, monkey's delight."

3. gross

I don't know. I going back to work.

 
The 6 foot tall, 24-year old mormon girl who works next door but comes into visit us every day just gave me half of her Pizza Hutt Calzone. Not sure when the last time I had Pizza Hutt was, but I'm highly tempted to visit one again today to eat another one of these tasty calzones. I feel like George Steinbrenner in "Seinfeld". That thing was OFF THE CHAIN good. :excited:

Too nice? Maybe. But I had some rough adolescent stretches and without catching an undeserved break or two, my life could have ended up far worse. Pay it forward.

Pawn shops cannot sell any item for 30 days. I know if I file with the police, they will be required to return the goods to me. But I doubt they will do it unless I file charges, as proof it was stolen. So the kid has a short window to get everything back before I let the authorities handle it.

I nailed the suspect because I talked to his dad and told him that while I did not suspect his son, he was in the areas where the stuff was stolen on a regular basis and wanted him to ask if he noticed anything askew or maybe mentioned it to some friends where stuff was accessible. His father suspected him and he and his wife grilled him until he fessed up.

I have a hard time believing you conned other human beings who were nothing but nice to you before robbing them of not only expensive tools, but sentimental and priceless valuables like wedding rings. I don't think you are paying it forward here; I think you are enabling this behavior to continue. What consequences will he face for this? A job on a oil rig? He'll con his way out of that and steal from somebody else.I get where you are coming from and can appreciate your relationship with this sociopath's father, but I disagree with not involving the police. In what instance WOULD you call the police?
