not saying you need to have 20 yrs of school to be sucessful.
you need to have something.
I am not telling you this story to be judged, just like you do not show your before and after pics to be judged.

I am NOT at all judging you, I am saying, that 'jack' does not WANT to get a GED
and will always find a reason to fail, because that is the only way he is happy.
(there are others on this forum, who follow in jack's footsteps)

PS: I show my Before/After pictures as a matter of pride, I have been judged all my life, now the only person who judges me, is myself (I'm my own jury as well)

And on a happier note, had a good day! Met OleCapt and his wife today. They are both very nice and they put up with me quite well.

He drives the church van because he does not have a car, bike, skateboard or cannot use public transportation. He complains every single time I talk to him. He said "you sure can't hold on to a husband" when my Bill died april 28th. He is always talking about killing himself. Would the world be a better place if he did?

Your world would be a better place if he killed himself.
Addendum I think his last name is either Off or S--T.

I will be paying for the hotel ($200 plus) and all the gas ($300 plus). That is going to cost me $500-$700 up front depending on what motel/hotel I get. I have asked both of them to cover their own food and drinks and they agreed. My friend is going to be driving his car for the trip, but other than that, I am responsible for everything else. Do you now see my point?

My girlfriend says I am an idiot for doing it since neither of them has ever done the same for me to come to Phoenix. Both of them are married and have lives, so I can understand. Of course, I was quoting gas from Phoenix to Vegas. This Reno trip will be much more expensive gas wise. The way it works is if they decide to come out here on their own, I pay nothing. But if I request they come, I have to pay them.

With friends like those...

Ok, so it is not because they are worried their guys will "wander"...how expensive does it have to be if split? It's kind of like you are buying friendship. Might be cheaper to hop a Spirit flight to Phoenix...

I want no replies to this post, but I did get a DM saying that with the exception of Davie89, I am the only real person on this thread that tells it like it is, and I am greatly appreciated since all the other members mostly post stupid nonsense. I will say thanks to that person, and unfortunately I cannot disagree. I recently remember how someone made post about corn, and it went on for days. No wonder this country is going to hell. Don't worry, I will stay out of this official chat thread as it has upset me. Now go ahead and carry on about your stupid plants.

That's a little harsh and for sure written with some of that bottled courage. Don't post on a public forum that which you want no replies to...in other words...good luck. I can just guess who wrote that DM, but it doesn't matter because if anyone expects to come on a CHAT thread in any state, they are going to find random postings. Some may interest them, some may not. Tough. Don't read it then. It really is a thread where regulars can chat about random things that don't have to have anything to do with life in Las Vegas, right?

The corn posts were...well....corny, but I like seeing the posts about the plants and such. To each their own. I hope you don't rot. If you were going to spring for the trip, rent a car and take a ride!

I agree (well, not the part about putting up with you). Selling?

Nope, not yet. Just scouting out some possible neighborhoods for later on.

Las Vegas does not it's own private, city owned gas stations for Metro?
I've noticed the police getting gas at regular public gas stations.
Whats that about?
In NYC the fuzz fill up at the station house-- which is private and only for them.
Here they use Rebel?
