    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Fuck, you're old. I kid. I'm 14 years your senior. I'm sorry for this situation, man. I think it's a good tell that when you were separated by distance her priorities shifted. That should be an indication of what would happen in difficult times during marriage (or whatever arrangement you were...

    What did you just read?

    Cryptonomicon is bloody awesome. My kids have all read the Harry Potter books, but now we're listening to them together on trips and in the car and such. Those books narrated by Jim Dale are fantastic. He's really good.

    We have three teenagers. We often go to bed before them. Then we fuck. Not going to let their late night habits keep us out of bed. That said, homework does get done first thing, and if hey have something they're working late into the night on, it's something they're not getting help from us...

    After the mandatory waiting period? Not at all. Some of that is dependent on how your kids sleep, but I have certainly heard from friends who got freaky during afternoon nap time as often as possible. You both still want sex, you just figure out how to make it happen.

    Unless you don't have to pay for it and it's a great school. But there's no reason to pay for a private school, I agree.

    This list is bogus, as there are schools that should be on it that aren't included. Notre Dame, for example, had a tuition cost of $51,505 and a total cost of $69, 395. How did this list get made? It's ridiculous to spend that kind of money on pretty much any undergrad education. Specialise in...

    I have been affiliated with Notre Dame long enough that my kids get Notre Dame tuition's worth at a whole consortium of schools, so living expenses will likely be all my kids have to pay for. That said, they'll contribute to their own education, and all three of my daughters already told me that...

    Yeah, we absolutely refused to lay with them while they fall asleep, but all our kids have been pretty good about sleep, with one exception. my fourth child didn't stay in his bed without getting up a couple times for ages. It got to a point where he had nothing in his room except his bed and...

    Notre Dame was the real deal last night. Fun to watch. Michigan makes me laugh. I think they'll be good once Harbaugh's recruits start playing, but this year they are just shit.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I agree with both of you. If Notre Dame wins out the rest of the season they deserve playoffs. They have four (currently) ranked teams to get past: #11 USC #16 NC State Wake Forest #8 Miami Navy #22 Stanford Notre Dame's record against ranked teams sucks the balls of a goat. While it would be...

    I try to do something nice for our anniversary, and my wife does, too. But more often it's something we plan together, like a weekend somewhere together. Though there are years where we do nothing for the anniversary, but that's typically a mutual decision, too. If I forgot completely, it would...

    Do rough drawings yourself, tell the design/build people to work out the details. That's what they do. They need to come back with a solid design that meets your demands. Come up with rough dimensions and what you want (number of rooms, bathrooms, plumbing/electric requirements), and they'll do...

    Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use an architect for a job like this. If you're designing a professional space that will be open to the public and has to have substantial visual appeal, possibly maybe consider an architect. (Though probably not.)

    They introduced roundabouts here where I live about four years ago. There were zero within a hundred miles back then, now there are 15 in town I can think of. One in particular I use almost daily. It used to be a four way stop, now it's a roundabout, and morning traffic is so much better. If you...
