Just like nobody seems to remember that you're supposed to stop behind the stop sign either. When people actually bother to come to a complete stop, it is usually halfway past the sign. :?

I see most people treat the stop signs as "yield" signs.

Darn tootin'.

That's if they even make an attempt to stop. As opa said, it's more like a Yield sign these days.

Old story that I've already told, but I had someone pull out a gun on me because I honked at them (I didn't make the situation any better with my bravado) for almost hitting my car while they were running a stop sign.

I need the Jeep from either Jackal or Bayou Billy.

one of my game stores pays

old games genesis/nes/snes/master system/game gear/atari 2600/-$1
old games like kirby super star/secret of mana/ donkey kong 64-$4

they dont give anything anymore, everything before the ps2 is worthless.

my other game store gave $4-$6 in stead for valuable games

$1 per Atari game isn't exactly a bad deal. Most shops sell them for that much.

I can't believe how bad of a mood I'm in today. I just don't feel like doing anything. My girlfriend is annoying the heel out of me. I want to go to a bar and drink but I shouldn't really be spending money and I just know I'd end up hooking up with this girl that works there after I get a few in me. I just don't want to play any video games because I'm sure I'd just rage at the dumbest shit.

On second thought journey wouldn't be so bad to play right now.

This thing looks really nice and blends with our home nicely. It makes a 3-4 weekend project a 1-weekend project (foundation, and put the kit together), which is absolutely huge. So, I bought it.
Cool! I have a shed project myself. It's this one:

It will be a multi-weekend project and that's ok with me. Currently, I'm digging out the foundation area as there's a severe slope in that area of my property (almost 3 ft difference between opposite corners).
