GM's thread about nothing (36 Viewers)

[Mr.Pack]

Sonata it is. I still cannot believe I'm buying a Hyundai, even if its for the wife. BUt we drove a dozen cars and liked this one the best. Got it cheaper than anything except the Mazda6, but its more nicely equipped (power seats, bluetooth, etc.. Throw in the 60K bumper to bumper and I had to do it. A lot of car for 19.8 and they even gave me what my tradein was worth.

How did the Sonata rate vs the ALtima?Same size? Likes/dislikes?

A cushier ride- not in a good way- I think I got a better driving experience in the Altima. But comfort was probably a little better with the Sonata. Comparably equipped the Altima would have been $5K more and had a 3/36K bumper to bumper warranty vs 5/60 for the SOnata. So the Sonata was a much better value. It also gets better gas mileage. I did not feel like it was a downgrade at all, the two seemed very equal overall.

Thanks cos.

Good lord...

Yesterday was the end of the year luncheon for all of the employees in our district. For the 2nd or 3rd year in a row the district office hired the restaurant where my wife is the catering manager to cater the food. Everything was great and people loved the food.

Today this broad that teaches right next door to me posts on Facebook that she got food poisoning from the lunch yesterday. WTF.

First of all she doesn't have food poisoning...especially if her "symptoms" just hit her today. And nobody else has said anything about being sick. I'm sure my wife would have got a call from somebody else if not one of our district admins. But like I said there was nothing wrong with the food.

Secondly, she knows or at least should know that my wife was responsible for the integrity of the food served. Why in the world she would think it was a good idea to post something like this on Facebook is beyond me.

I sent her a PM telling her basically "your post is a serious slight/accusation aimed at my wife and her job". I was as polite as possible but made sure she got the idea.

She didn't mention the name of the restaurant. But one of her non-teacher friends asked who catered it. Just a few minutes ago her dip#### of a husband posted the name. I sent him the same message and asked him to take it down. That was 10 minutes ago. I'm giving him 30 more minutes or I reply directly to the post.

I had heard of men who actually had turned down their wives for sex, but I've never done and was pretty convinced I never would. At this point, however, she's wearing me out. I'm not actually going to turn her down or anything, partially because I'd have to punch myself in the face and partially because I'm afraid to do anything to change what's been going on the last month and a half, but good lord. And yes, this is probably partially bragging but really I'm tired and I don't really have anybody else to talk to about this kind of stuff, so you nerds will have to do.

Thanks cos.

I'll also add that the msrp's of both vehicles were very close, the big discrepancy in price was the discounting that the Hyundai dealer was able/willing to do. 1500 of that was by financing thru Hyundai, but their rates were very competitive (1.9%, same as our credit union).

I am calling upon the power of the GMTAN for a good cause. I will be riding in the MS150 bike ride at the end of the month to help raise money for Multiple Sclerosis research (I guess SLB's walk did not raise enough for them last year). I have a cousin who suffers from it and would love to no longer hear about her bad days.

If you can find it in your heart to donate.

Any and all shtick is welcome in your donor name. As an added bonus I will post a shot video this weekend if I can hit $300 by then (already at $220) and if you guys help me hit $500 I will be open to suggestions to add to the six foot orange flag I will be attaching to my bike.

Thanks in advance.

Just a pity bump for me.

I am risking severe penis scarring, all you guys have to do is donate a little money to a good cause.

I will donate to this, but NOT to the allergy fundraiser. I mean, wtf?

I think I may even have got an employer match from my employer.

Like the comment, luckily I think only I can see those.

Stuff like this is why I've begun to sour on FB. I used to like using it as a virtual bar/restaurant gathering of friends to yuk it up for laughs during the day. But with friends-of-friends able to peak in and read stuff, and people using it as a professional 'networking' service, most jocularity has been ruined.

I can't find my flask anywhere so no concert shot vid

Followed up the concert with Jagerbombs and beers at a local bar and then a late night stop at Waffle House

I went to bed 5 hours ago and am trying to figure out if I'm still drunk, slightly hungover or just tired.

My insides are currently very mad at me. I think they are sending morse code rescue calls

The concert was part of a farewell for one of my really good friends who is moving to England in a couple weeks. Over the course of the night we managed to collect some good souveniers: a boot stein, a low lawn chair with the concert venue name, an orange construction cone and a pint glass with the bar logo on it.

 

[Guster]

Heading to the Radiohead concert tonight

please post an update....i'm heading to see them on Sunday.

Here's the setlist: My linkIt was a good concert, but a bit of an adjustment for me.

I've been going to smaller venues (think 100-3000 people) and seeing acts that aren't on the scale of Radiohead.

Riverbend holds 20,000 and the show was sold out.

That said, they put on a great show. It's obviously heavy on TKOL, but they did a good job of mixing in some older stuff as well. It seems that each show they bust out a new song they haven't done yet on this tour, so I'm sure your show will have some different stuff thrown in too.

Who had 6 months in the pool for how long a divorced 36 year old GMTANer (ME) could keep the fun train ride going with a hot 22 YO?

And now my moment in the sun has come to an end. Its back to crock pot chicken and Cinemax. It's back to getting to stupid-drunk at work functions and doing stupid things for the sole purpose of amusing myself. I guess I can go back to drunkingly hooking up with non-attractive, non-thin girls with small hands and low expectations (my target market)

It's funny to look back at all of this. If you would've told me prior to 6 months ago that I'd have a secret "relationship" with a 22 YO I would think it would be all sex and partying like I was a kid again. It was actually the opposite (except for the sex part) After about the first couple weeks, I never ever thought of her as being 22 or even being younger than me. Granted my general immaturity probably helped in that regard, but she just seemed to be more mature and smarter than any other girl/woman I've ever met. And she was funny, both "smart funny" and "silly funny". I am always drawn to girls that are "smart funny", hence my i-crushes on Krista, YSR and Tanner (kidding, I know you're not a girl, you're an 89 year old weird cat loving man) In the beginning I totally resisted doing anything with her, even hanging out with her. After a week of texting, I gave in and we hung out. After a few nights of hanging out and texting non-stop from the time I wake up until the time I fell asleep, I began to wonder what was going on here. And she did too, though I still to this day can hear her voice when she said to me after the first week: "Do you have any expectations? I mean, I think we should just hang out, have fun and whatever happens will happen" And thus began our relationship. It had to be kept secret, mainly because she had a boyfriend that lived out of state and for work reasons. As much as we hid it, many people would ask me what was going on with me and her since we would hang out together at Chamber functions and interact on FaceBook. We always denied everything and said were just friends, and that it would be silly to think that a 36 year old divorced father could have a relationship with a hot 22 year old girl.

Another weird thing that I didn't realize would happen, is that I think I actually became a better person while with her. When I didn't have my son, I was with her (she planned her time with her boyfriend around my parenting schedule) And since she wasn't really the "party girl type" (she works full time and is getting her MBA in an advanced 2 year program) and we couldn't be "out" in public, we never really drank. We just hung out, talked, laughed and had amazing sex. Thinking that I didn't deserve her, I forced myself to keep up with the "INSANITY" workout program so she wouldn't realize what a slob I was. I've dropped about 30 pounds and have never been healthier. And the funny thing is, she never asked me to do that. I look back at how I looked when I first met her compared to now and I can't figure why she ever wanted to do anything with me. Alot of co-workers, friends and family members have told me many times over the last 6 months that not only did I look great, but that I seemed happier. I even felt like my relationship with my ex-wife got better. Everything seemed better.

"No expectations, just hang out and have fun" Things would probably be better right now if I could've stuck to that. I guess it would've been easier if she would've stuck to that too. She told me after the first month that she never expected to "fall for me" but she did. But we both knew there couldn't be a real relationship, so we just kept doing what we were doing until it would come to an end. And the end has come.

I'm not sure why I just wrote all of that, I was really just planning on writing that first sentence about "who had 6 months in the pool..." I guess that was therapeutic (spell check that for me GM?) to write out what I was thinking. Anyways, I think I'm gonna get embarrasingly drunk tonight. Oh, and Frosty, screw you.

I'm thinking this was coming for awhile and (she?) finally dropped the ax. Zooks> Buck up, little trooper. This was best in the long run. Think of it as a reprieve from looming middle age, then, after some time and alcohol, turn your frown upside down with a wild cougar hunting expedition.

I know its more complicated than that, but in what way?

GB Zooks, there are many other 20-somethings out there who are plenty open to dating a 36 year old father. Or so I've heard...

And dropping those 30 pounds sure won't hurt in that regard.
