    - I fill up twice a week.....yes, thank God I make the big bucks. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 13:35
  - Our old Shell on the East side gives a .20 discount if you buy a carwash....makes it worthwhile when getting a full tank. - CrankYanker Apr 11, 13:33 1

  - Windowed patio, they might as well have been. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:44 3
    - That's when lighting becomes important. If the light is on inside, but it's dark outside, you're golden. And you definitely turn out the light in - Jim Apr 11, 13:02 2
      - I read this as "lightning". -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 13:06 1
        
        Now THAT would be dangerous. -- nm - Jim Apr 11, 13:13
I totally need to grab my laptop, and sit out on the back patio and work out there the rest of the day, right? - znufrii Apr 11, 12:41 8
- And watch for the missing pieces? -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:43 6
  - I finally convinced them that I wasn't crazy and they are shipping replacement parts. -- nm - znufrii Apr 11, 12:51 5

      - that. would be. hilarious. -- nm - znufrii Apr 11, 12:52 3
        
        You should ignore the missing parts and just use ducttape. -- nm - decline Apr 11, 12:53 2
        
        as tempting as that sounds, I have no desire to burn down my wife's cousin's house in a freak gas grill accident just because I was too impatient - znufrii Apr 11, 12:55 1
        
        uh, 3M makes fireproof silicon tape :) -- nm - decline Apr 11, 12:58

Side note: We know about my parents, but I dated someone with which the gay and PDA thing was no issue at all - MDH Apr 11, 12:31 5
- Did you get "why are you so uptight" or "if you love me it shouldn't matter"? -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:33 4
  - Haha no, he knew the deal with my parents so it was an adjustment period. - MDH Apr 11, 12:34 3
    - Yeah, I had actually thought about how hard that could be. - Spawn Apr 11, 12:36 2
      - "Not without someone entering a credit card number, anyway." -- nm - Jim Apr 11, 12:37 1
        
        "Pay the lady!" -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:38
lir amanda - I meant it's a sign of the times (78 year old) when they say "one is married and the other is gay" instead of - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:27 5
- well, I mean, he can't *get* married. see? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 11, 12:39 2
  - I have feeling she would have put it this way even if it was legal. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:44 1
    - Not me. She was choosing an unreachable exception. That way the brother can grope his wifei at gatherings, but no touching for the other son. -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:46
- better than, "One is married, the other is dead to me." -- nm - znufrii Apr 11, 12:29 1
  - I only the one...now -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 11, 12:49
Boy, I wish someone would force me to accept 65 million. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 11, 12:24

The part where I started having no sympathy for PDA mom was where she claimed she'd be just as uncomfortable with a boy-girl couple PDAing. That is BS - con_carne Apr 11, 12:21 8
- Not entirely. Since my early 20's, I have not been a huge fan of PDA's of any sexual preference.....its just a tact thing..... - Walt_Disney Apr 11, 12:43
- I think she's a fictitious construct, or at best an amalgam of similar submitted questions. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 12:24 4
  - heh. I have been thinking that about a lot of these. -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:27
  - You're a ficticious construct! -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 12:25 2
    - Your Mom's a ficticious construct who doesn't understand why you recognize her love, support, and acceptance of your non-ficticiousness. -- nm - Ender Apr 11, 12:26 1
      - Bah, "why you don't recognize"... -- nm - Ender Apr 11, 12:27
- Not if they are unmarried! -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:22
- I think she's really trying. -- nm - loosilu Apr 11, 12:22

Let's flip the scenario - if you had/have adult kids how comfortable would you be displaying affection in front of them? - MojaveMeg Apr 11, 12:20 12
- It was a very complicated question for me since my wife now is not their mother. I tried to not do it too much in front of them because I thought it - pmb Apr 11, 13:45
- PrincessCY usually says "get a room", but I think showing affection in front of your children supports a healthy loving home environment now, and in - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:24 1
  - It would help if you were wearing pants. -- nm - PrincessCY Apr 11, 12:28
- Still young, but when Amy and I hug, The Bub walks up and hugs our legs. -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:22 7
  - Lil' Vermin does this too, every afternoon when we get home from work. We lift her up for "family hug!" - Dr.Vermin Apr 11, 12:29 2
    - that's awesome -- nm - JenBro Apr 11, 12:53
    - Agreed. When the rest of us gets home, the other(s) tends to be waiting in the hall. - Spawn Apr 11, 12:32
  - Awww. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 12:28 3
    - He and I were playing on the new playground equipment at the school near our house. A dozen kids arou. Out of no where he said, "I love you, papa!" - Spawn Apr 11, 12:30 2
      - Yep...he's gonna get older and despite everything he's learned from you and all the time spent teaching...he's still gonna wave into the stands and - Jim Apr 11, 12:43
      - Nice, very very nice. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:39
- No problem there either. Would probably gross the kids out, which is an added bonus, if you ask me. -- nm - Jim Apr 11, 12:21
Did Amy say anything about the hipster on FB? -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:19 6
- open your account and check - Epiphany Apr 11, 12:20 5
  - FB is blocked from my lonely tower of scorn. -- nm - Spon Apr 11, 12:24 1
    - Corn. I have a tower of corn. - Spawn Apr 11, 12:26
  - What the fuck, hipster? -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 12:23 1
    - good guess. That's exacty what she said. - Epiphany Apr 11, 12:24
  - Heh. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 11, 12:22
*wants you to be married 1st* -- nm - B4 Apr 11, 12:19
we call it acieed -- nm - moles Apr 11, 12:18
/makes out with B2 in front of B3 -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 11, 12:17 4
- B1 joins you. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:19 2
  - you can take the 70's out of the hipster...but you can't take the hipster out of the 70's -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 11, 12:23 1
    - This is backwards. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 11, 12:25
- *shrieks in disgust at the sight of those two dirty dirty boards -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 11, 12:19
