My Wife Says These Gloves are Done - No Way - UPDATE
My wife caught a glimpse of these gloves and was horrified, "Go buy new gloves today" she says. "What's wrong" I say.
Just some Gorilla tape and I keep going, don't have time, everybody's gloves look like this, right? Can anybody back me up on this? If I threw gloves away every time they rubbed a hole, I'd have to buy them by the gross.
So,.............it was time to let them go. On top of a cosmoline soaked Palmetto Sate Armory box, atop the burn pile, I lit the match. An honorable Viking goodbye. Took a pop off a longneck and waited for any rats or snakes to run out.
Re: Millionaire cries about her student loan
I have no sympathy. I joined the Navy at 17 to avoid the draft. When I got out I went to college and even with GI benefits I did have to borrow some as wife’s income as a teacher just did not cover everything.
I paid back every penny and so should everyone today.
Re: Millionaire cries about her student loan
Tough luck lady, if you can afford a million dollar plus home you can afford to pay off your student debt! Whenever I assumed a financial obligation, I was expected to pay it off within the agreed time frame. End of story!
Re: Had (what used to be) A Good Friend Screw Me -
My neighbor was building his house. As I was a much more experienced carpenter, I went over on Day One to help build the subfloor. I brought over a brand new, 6 foot stepladder. I had just bought it at Lowes for $63. We used the ladder all day. I left the ladder there when I left at 5 pm, Matthew was still working.
I went over there two days later to get the ladder back, and he said he didn't have it, he said that he had put the ladder in my pickup just before I left.
I said "No you didn't. You were climbing my ladder with a 2x10 on your shoulder when I drove off." He stuck to his story.
This POS, after I put in 9 hours of construction work, for free, stole my ladder! My fist was clinching, and I came real close to rearranging his face and I was just the man to do it. Instead, I walked off without another word.
For a mere $63, I found out exactly what kind of criminal scum my new neighbor was. Bonus! How many more days of free, skilled carpentry do you suppose Matthew got from me? That would be zero.
Re: Had (what used to be) A Good Friend Screw Me -
I think we have probably all been there and had this happen. Sometimes I put down their actions to just plain stupidity. Other times I think it might be caused by a lack of common sense. It also may be caused by an over inflated sense of self-importance and a feeling of superiority on their part.
Regardless of what the reason may be, I can only control my actions. I no longer dwell on these things more than about 5 minutes. They have already inconvenienced me with their thoughtless action, so why let it keep causing me problems by dwelling on it. They get one chance and then I forget about both them and the problem and don't give them another chance.
So, I guess my advice is that you learned a relatively inexpensive lesson, so take a deep breath and live your own life not influenced by someone else's thoughtlessness. Bob

Never loan anything with a motor. Never loan a female. Never loan money to a friend, give it to them and if they repay it they are a true friend.
Re: Millionaire cries about her student loan
I saw that yesterday. If they got a mortgage on the new house, how did they qualify for it with that much outstanding debt? If they paid cash for the house, then they certainly had enough to pay off the debt and get a mortgage instead.
She seems to be similar to the folks that make minimum credit card payments and then don't understand why their balance owed never goes down and actually increases. Perhaps somewhere in her college education she should have taken personal finance 101. Bob
