To help make room for a tax cut that will cost the government $70 billion over 5 years, the House is cutting the food stamp budget and other programs for the poor. You'll note, please, that that link is not to The Onion.
Now, welfare "reform" is one thing (I may not necessarily agree with that, either), but with food stamps and the school...

- A couple weeks ago, I received a "changes to cardmember agreement" mailing from one of my credit card companies. One of the new provisions was that payments would be allocated to lower apr balances first. Now, I don't maintain balances usually, and I don't even use that card - it's been sitting in a desk drawer unactivated. But no, uh uh, fuck that, bzzzzt! Yet...

oy! don't use that stop-leak shit. it's useless, and it will just end up clogging all sorts of things, likes hoses and water pumps and what-not. unless the truck is a $500 piece of shit you could care less about, you should do the right think and replace the heater core. on a truck, it's probably really easy to access anyway...
seska:
Ohhhh shit ... that really sucks, but I'm glad you have the mind of a genius cause you thwarted that dastardly, thieving Walmart twat (possibly your nephew that really sucks) and the mindless drones of consumer credit all in one fell swoop. And a cheer went up in SG land!!!!! What a royal pain in the ass though ... fuck.
Anyhoooo .. just wanted to pop in and say hi and I hope all is going really well for you man. Hang in there ...
p.s. Johnny Cash rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rosa Parks is dead at 92 of natural causes. Rest in peace.
One of my favorite movie lines (or pseudo movie lines, as you'll see) of recent times is "Forget you my friend." It was said by John Goodman to Denzel Washington in the edited-for-TV version (thus the pseudo) of "Fallen." The unedited line was "Fuck you, motherfucker!"
So, should I ever say to you...

Thanks for commenting on my set!
Jumpin' Jebus on a pogo stick! It's mother-humpin' cold outside. Holy frick on a stick! I rode the motorcycle today. 
I'm not gonna do that tomorrow.
Honestly, with better gloves, some long johns and a balaclava or neck gaiter, I'd've been ok. The cross winds, though, were pretty fuckin' brutal by any reckoning.
thanks for the concern

i think i have a different standpoint than those above.
as anyone who knows me well knows, i moved in with sniggitysnags the day after we met, and two days later i told him i loved him. thats four days, the same as two weekends, but neither ones of us has ever been so gut wrenchingly and totally in love before this.
that being said, the first year was very very very hard! he and i both dealt with issues; he was in college and i wasnt, so i dealt with a lot of isolation/depression. and to this day it is still hard! everything that we do together has to be completely a compromise, even our hopes and dreams and aspirations.
that was a tangent but it was to prove a point. if you absolutely feel in your gut, in your soul, in every waking moment that you should be with her, you probably should. you could be giving up something incredible that you will kick yourself for forever. that being said, that doesnt mean totally give up everything you have; it means find a compromise.
if you can find a compromise, anything is possible.
good luck.

Hey ... don't feel bad. You handled the situation the best you could. I feel bad for her that she got so swept up so quickly, but that is not your fault. I truly think you did the right thing, but you are such a nice and thoughtful person it still feels like shit to hurt another.
She has kids involved and it is better to stop than give false hope.
Hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!
