    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I had my Dyson for like 10 yrs now. My wife got a deal on ours, it was like $500 or some shit. And they do get clogged. The little venturi things get clogged all to hell after a few years. I dont know if they corrected this problem on the newer models, but on mine I have to clean it every 2-3...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This is such a BS thing, really. I guess its a thing to say these days and is totally not based around reality. Reality is that children from divorced families have higher rates of emotional problems, early sexual experimenting, dropping out of school, delinquency, teen pregnancy, and drug use...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No one is blaming Facebook, bro. Of course it does what its supposed to. But it sure does play into human nature very well. I man if a woman or man is going to cheat, they are going to cheat regardless what led them there. But the simple fact of so easily connecting to past lovers, sometimes...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I got married at 26, looking back it was a good age to marry. We both experienced life, had stable careers, places to live and we were both ready for that next step in life, which was marriage and children. We dated for a few years, she moved in within the first year, it was a no brainier...

Cool thing was they would fly me out on a Ford jet every monday, and fly my ass back home every fri. And I dont mean the F250 or F350, I mean the semi that they had. Since then they sold...
