I fully agree with this and formed my opinion based on your comments and posts. I'll be getting all my opinions from you from now on.

I grew up poor as hell. I broke the cycle in my family just in time to have to deal with this shit. My garden is looking like it's going to do well this year and if meat starts getting scarce I can go hunting from time to time or get some yard birds from the friends I get my eggs from, but god damn (or maybe I'll go vegetarian, wouldn't be the first time), I just wanted a little more time not having to live hand to mouth.

But I'll make it as long as flour doesn't get to be the price of beef. And I'll complain the whole fucking time.

You're not going to the Pope's funeral.

Honestly, most people will never attend a very formal funeral. Wear your blue suit. If you come to mine I hereby grant permission to wear jeans and a band or nerd T-shirt. It's very indicative of what I wore most of my life up to this point even if I dress better now when I leave the house.

I don't think most people care as long as you are trying.

Yep, depending on exactly what you're doing there are a few ways. Unless you're VERY well off or have a fleet of cars it's almost never worth it.

Surety bonds are one way, and you're talking about self insurance. Many states offer one or both, and the self insurance route can be anything between 10k and 127k depending on state law.

But I'm sure that guy is talking about some paperwork you can file to make other people pay when you rear end someone without a driver's license.

What babe?

I hereby crown you King Wing, the manliest of all people!

(This was supposed to be light-hearted, but I realized after reading it that it sounds like I'm mocking you....I promise I'm not).

I also have this document but I don't want him to stamp it and become the past master of it. He can't have it.

Thus the salute!

Some folks call it a Sling Blade, I call it a Kaiser Blade.

They've been tipping those for a very long time. I remember the first one I received was disguised as a $100 bill well before YouTube was a thing. Even almost 30 years ago we fought over who would work on Sundays because they would abuse 16 year old buffet workers back in '98.

My younger brother tried out all of my inventions. He was "willing", which really meant he never knew what I was asking him to do until it was too late.

Josh Todd of Buckcherry on stage now.

I'm glad you did. I saw it and before reading the reply my only thought is that it was mocking institutional racism. I learned something today.

I'm pretty ok at knapping flint and I'm not a terrible hunter. I'm also usually in poor health.

So I'd probably die as a baby.

But not simultaneously.

Can confirm, I was there.

Get in the truck, we're headed out. I guess you can bring the fam but they might have to sit in the bed because I'm not putting my electronics back there.

Big hugs, buddy!!!
