I apologize for everything. I once apologized to my roommate who stole my debit card and went on a drug-fueled bender all weekend and left me with no money for a month because I wanted to talk to her when she came home and she was tired and didn't want to hear it. My therapist refuses to hear the words "I am sorry" from me. She gets legitimately angry if I do it. I'm sometimes frozen thinking of what else to say.

Man, if my fuckin' ex-wife asked me to take care of her fuckin' dog while she and her boyfriend went to Honolulu I'd tell her to go fuck herself.

That's probably the one thing I would do for my ex-wife. I'd really be doing it for myself since I love dogs. I might be wishing malaria on her while she was on her trip, but you can't prove anything...

cheryl ladd's titties. that's all i remember.

Weird. I kind of remember the story concept, but that's about it. I'm thinking I might have read the book decades ago...

It’s something about saving people who are doomed by swapping them with dead bodies just before they die, and then transporting the saved ones to the future. I can’t quite remember why the future people did this, but I vaguely recall that they couldn’t have kids in the future. So, saving people not only avoided messing with the timeline but also helped keep their population going.

I like to think the saying goes, "The axe and the tree both remember, that's why only one survives."

I'm sorry to hear that.

Sorry for saying sorry.

I'll give you something to be sorry about!

There's a saying that I like; "The axe forgets, but the tree remembers". For good or for ill, the things we do as people or parents have a lasting impact upon others. Whether our actions or remarks were off the cuff in the moment or deliberate.

A couple of years back, I had a sit down talk with my parents. I calmly laid out some of the issues I had with my upbringing. I explained that I recognized that I didn't come with a manual and being the child that I was, I am sure raising me was not easy. I also told them that given the examples of their own parents, they had done an exceptionally better job. But that some of their decisions and statements had profoundly impacted me in negative ways. I further explained that I had forgiven them long ago as all unhealed wounds do is fester and that they were now different people. But, in a small way, I was grateful for my upbringing as it given me a clarity of purpose, drive, and resiliency that few of my peers possessed.

I hope I was one of the people pointing to the valve stem being the potential cause because I went through this exact scenario. Like you I assumed they would replace the part when I got new tires but they didn’t. My car is ten years old and has the basic (cheap to replace) valve stems and even then they weren’t replaced. I was told this part is a lot more complex now with low tire pressure warning systems so they are probably even less likely to replace them on on modern car.

Always preferred him as a singer-songwriter to actor. Grew up listening to his music. Spent many a hungover Sunday listening to "Sunday Morning Coming Down" , preceded by a late Saturday Night with "The Silver Tongued Devil & I". Still, nothing resonates with me more than the "Pilgrim Chapter 33"....

He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars, and he's traded in tomorrow for today
Runnin' from his devils, lord, and reachin' for the stars, and losin' all he's loved along the way
But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse, and all he ever gets is older and around
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse, the goin' up was worth the comin' down....

Because of Kris, I will never forget the 8th of November!

I am often amazed how many military members get into showbusiness after war.
