Sorry to hear that, dude. I could see arguing that 150 was a low estimate, but if he actually thinks he can get 1500, he's insane. That's gouging, plain and simple.

Yeah that's what I have to deal with in my area :P. He has continued messaging me saying it was to get back at the local lowballers, but he can't seem to understand that he is as much of an _______ as they are for posting it.

I will forever be made fun of by family and friends for not being able to keep sandals or flip flops on my feet. I take two steps in the sand or going up the stairs and I lose them. I also look awkward while trying to walk in them.

I can understand flip flops, but sandals? You know those have straps to keep them on your feet.

When I was in high school most, if not all, of my buddies wore adidas velcro sandals. I gave it a shot, couldn't walk in them.

If the footwear isn't somehow strapped to my heel I can't walk in it. That, and the sandals that do have heel straps look way too feminine for my taste.

I know it's weird that I have trouble walking in sandals or flip flops (walking is pretty instinctive no?), but it does give me one more excuse to not go to the beach (and yes I know hating going to the beach is also weird).



edit* I keep getting sidetracked as I haven't posted what I've been meaning to.

I mentioned my close friend's break up, and how he cut his hair and shaved off his weird (that's three "weird's" in this post) beard. Well my boy has stepped up his game, big time.

Call it fruity if you'd like, but we went clothes shopping yesterday and I went Clinton Kelly on the guy. Jack Daniel's t-shirts? Gone! Camo shorts ? Gone! "XL" dress shirts? Gone!

Fitted jeans, casual khakis, fitted dress shirts, and casual button ups. Looks like a new man he does, and his new look has boosted his confidence like crazy. He said "I DO look good" while checking himself out in the mirror and all I could say was "Told you so".

Nothing against the non-suiter-uppers and relaxing around the house in a t-shirt is fine, but at a certain age you should make it a priority to not look like a slob when seen in public. Perception is reality folks.

I couldn't get him to part ways with his cowboy hat as his "head gets lonely", but it fits his personality. But I'm very, very happy he is starting to dress like an adult. Now if only I can talk him into a pair of brown leather cap toes.

Still not being able to open up my Pokemon Gold cart even after using that "Plastic Pen mold Screwdriver" trick TWICE.

It ticks me off hard.
I really just post questions most of the time. I'm that kind of person, but who cares...

Just get a security bit they are well worth the investment. I have both of the Nintendo ones they cost me about 5 bucks a piece.
