No, the later it is, the harder it is to deal with it.

That's the truth I was six and my first memory is meeting my "new family" but my eldest step brother seems to still be dealing with his parents divorce.

Now that our shed is down and bathroom gutted - we rented a dumpster. I ordered a 30yd but it was a 2 week wait, though they had a 20 on site and could have it here today. Meanwhile, this pile is not smelling good and the loose items are blowing away, so I want it gone now.

Got home from work, looked at the pile, looked at the dumpster, gloved up and went to it. Got into a real groove and filled her to the top. They won't take it if the tarp can't fit over the top smoothly, so I had to stop. I got 90% of the stuff in there - left out some wood that I can use in my dad's firepit, so not a big deal.

Noise wanted pics, which I find odd, but here ya go homey:

Cost of the dumpster - 1/2 of Luke's birthday money.

For my birthday I went to the arcade then home with a tummy ache. I also bought myself a 360 and a couple pairs of high tops. I forgot my mom also sent me a kings ransom in drifters family.

My ticked for the day? I'm sunburned. Been building a garage for with a friend of my dads. I can't really complain though it's a great work out and great money.

Now I want a pink dumpster on the next construction job I work.

I'm constantly being mistaken for a 16 year old. I don't know if it's more flattering for frustrating...

You dress rather funky though, don't you?

I get carded all the time, but the "21" comment made my day. She stared at my ID suspiciously and said "You do not look your age. You barely look twenty-one".

With a beard, I never get carded though.
