LOL. You keep saying your life is FANTASTIC but no one here has seen ANY evidence you do ANYTHING.

Yanno, flies buzz around a sewer all day, sure seems you have plenty in common with them, but no one believes your life is fantastic.

Plenty of evidence it's pathetic and always will be!




What? Do you need videos of all the house rehab I've done, or all the DIY work I did on my car for literally pennies compared to what the mechanic would have charged me?

The wealth of information alone that I've learned since my sobriety might even be worth more than the actual work that has already been done. Most of that being work somebody would pay somebody else to do. All of it done better than the work I would have gotten if I did so.


Admittedly, the only thing that I had to pay somebody else to do was to weld the new flex pipe on the bottom of my car after removing the old one with my sawzall 2 inches from my face. It sucked not to be able to see that through myself, but since the personal uses for a welding machine and gear would be extremely limited at this point in my life, I couldn't justify that expense.

It turns out we have a great welder in town who does it super cheap and less then three hours after I called him he had it done for me in 15 minutes after the told me the time to show up. Only cost me $40 too.

He said it would have only been $25 if I hadn't rigged up my temporary McGyver patch to pass the emissions test and he didn't have to spend 10 minutes removing it all before starting the weld.

With affordable welding like that who even needs to know how to weld?


The car drives better than it did when I bought it 12 years ago now. And with the low milage I put on cars coupled with the low mileage on a car known to get 250,000 to 300,000 or more miles in its life, this $2,000 investment I made back in 2008 with about $700 in repairs including a new windshield and 4 new tires and breaks will probably last me another 12 years.



Oh... and BTW.... You're not getting any videos.

I don't really give two shits whether you believe me or not.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Funny, EVERY SINGLE ADULT I KNOW does that stuff. What makes you so special, again?

You are the only one that is amazed that you can do things. That's how a teenager thinks.


YOU ARE 40+ YEARS OLD, DUDE! PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT THING!

EVERY SINGLE ADULT



What did you JUST SAY to me about absolutes the other day, Karen?


No. Not every single adult knows how to get up under a car and cut out a bad exhaust pipe. Not every single adult knows how to jack up the structure of their home SAFELY to get up underneath it and make repairs to it. Not every single adult knows how to properly prepare and mortar cinderblock wall so that it won't just break a year later. Hell... I hardly know any adults who know how to fix their lawn after they let weeds take it over.

The more I tear apart my house out of necessity, the more evidence I have that even people who think they fucking know it all have no clue what they're doing. If you or your husband were to try doing anything that I have done on my home so far you would fail miserably just like they did and you would leave any future owners left holding the bag because you are stupid and you cut corners and you think you know everything.


And go ahead and take a look at Millennial "adults" today. They're lucky if they even know how to change the oil on their car and how to mow the lawn.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I got a dipshit and his wife living a door down behind me that are letting a few maple trees grow unchecked immediately under their garage and next to the beautiful new fence that was put in when the house flippers got to it before selling it to them.

I warned him about it last year. He told me something like "yeah. I already talked about it with my wife. We know we have to do something". But it's out of sight out of mind for them, and they're not going to do anything until it gets so big that the limbs start breaking through the bottom of the soffit straight through the back of their roof and are large enough for them to see when they go out on their back porch. Maybe if they're lucky they'll get raccoons living in the garage first before it blasts totally through the roof and they can take care of it before they completely lose the garage. Forget about the fence too... that's already toast because of the tree root systems.

They played hell on my property because I was under the mistaken impression that they were Rose of Sharon trees when my neigbor (the prior owner) was giving them away with her hastas when she got foreclosed on, and I moved them and planted them up against my own home and had to deal with them years later when I realized what they actually were. Now I'm watching their garage get destroyed before my eyes and wondering just what the fuck it is I'm looking at.

I also told the young couple I like next door to me last year about squirrel holes that were in their fascia behind their gutter last year and they've still done nothing about it. I have direct access to see it from my master bedroom window. I've been telling them about how most of the water on the back corner of their home pools right up against the foundation for a year and they've still done nothing about it even though they admitted to me during that last flood that they did get water damage in their beautifully finished basement right where I told them they would. I really feel bad for her, because I remember when I first moved in she told me that she bought the house before she was even dating her husband and had spent years remodeling it with her family.

I'm sensitive to these issues because I let them damage all of my stuff out of ignorance. I'm trying to warn other people in the area ahead of time, but they're not going to take me seriously until some extremely expensive damages occurs. At one point, when going up on my roof to stop the leaking my neighbor said "you're really having some bad luck with that house". I didn't have the heart to tell her that it's all coming her way soon too because they don't do anything to fix small problems when they pop up.

I don't even like going up on their 12 foot high wooden front access porch because it doesn't even feel safe to walk on anymore. It's the ants. It's already ruined. I've told them for three years now that they need to be spraying for ants diligently, but that gets ignored as well. I only hope that they don't find out the hard way and it's not one of their daughters that are walking on it when it collapses.



I've already got one foreclosure behind me that has been vacant for 8 months and has needed the basement pumped dry 6 times already because the bank refuses to learn from its own goddamned mistakes and won't leave the power on. That guy in his daughter were dead broke and bankrupt after mom left for another guy and couldn't afford to do anything about any of it. These two young couples have money. And I really hope that they're ready to spend a lot of it when all of the neglect I've witnessed comes home to roost. Otherwise, they're going to walk away and I'm going to be stuck trying to sell a home with 3 dilapidated houses in the vicinity.


These little things that LITERALLY all adults should know how to do like cutting down young trees that are destroying your property or spraying for bugs are

DUDE, WE ALL HAVE THE INTERNET TOO. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING IS ON THE INTERNET!

YOU ACT LIKE YOU KNEW HOW TO DO A DAMN THING AT 18-25 EITHER. DON'T BE A HYPOCRITE. Again...

They better hope that they fall into Karen's and Nilbog's "ALL ADULTS" category and actually know how to fix the major structural issues that their neglect have caused, otherwise money is going to be extremely tight for quite a while after getting it all professionally fixed.

... none of these people have alcohol or drug dependency issues (yet) and when this "bad luck" starts happening to them I'm going to have to really temper the urge to say "I told you so", because I know from a lifetime of experience that nobody likes being kicked when they're down.





Seriously, do you even understand the word "tone"? Dooooooooooom. Dooooom!

You have all this paranoia and anxiety you project, just typing here. I can't imagine living near you and having some twit trying to tell me how to run petty shit in my life because he's got nothing better to do. ESPECIALLY with the shit going on this year!

I'd build a giant freaking barbed wire fence.

Squirrels and saplings...
