If I could go back in time to HS I'd get so much pussy

I would too. If I could go back with my knowledge now, I'd be dangerous.

Not really mechanical. It is a manual lift but we had a storm that blew the cover open and back and it snapped the aluminum support beam like a twig.

Yikes. Do you need the cover just to keep it clean or is it required to operate? Never actually used a hot tub.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Why? Because with 23 years of additional experience under my belt, I realize that I would have nothing to lose.

My brother came over and helped me lift the cover back into position after we fished out the leaves that had blown in during the storm. You can use a hot tub without the lift but you'd need 2 people to manually place the cover on it. With the lift, one person can do it. Keep in mind, the cover is 8' x 8' and several inches thick.

I submitted a question to the maker of the lift (their website sucks and I am not sure the question went through) and the dealer we went through. If I can confirm the manufacturer part number, I think I can just order the new support/lift beam rather than buy another kit for $150.

How much is the part by itself? Careful sometimes when ordering separate parts it can seem cheaper but you might get stung by hidden charges, crazy shipping and the like. Not at all unusual to find it's cheaper just to buy a whole new item.

I have no idea how much the part is. If I can get a part number for the kit, the manufacturer does have parts list for individual components in each kit. I obviously won't pay more than $150, since I can get the entire lift kit for $150 from Amazon.

When I was in high school (both junior and senior years), I noticed a really cute (most said very striking and pretty) staring at me in class. She was 2 years younger than I.

Pretty soon, rumors started to spread that she liked me. I didn't believe it -- well, OK, I was pretty sure it was true but I couldn't make myself believe it.

So one day, some friends were talking to me about prom (I didn't want to go) but I mentioned if I did decide to go, I'd probably ask her. Well, I think it got back to her because a few days later, she started talking to me about my prom plans. I told her I really didn't know what I was going to do and she said "Well you know, you have to ask someone soon because she'll need time to pick out a dress, etc."

To this day, nearly 23 years later, I still hate myself for not giving it a shot. Remember kiddies, you'll forgive yourself for opportunities you took advantage of that didn't work out, but you will never, ever forgive yourself for missed opportunities.

Take chances. I tell everyone that. Not much to risk

Really? Wouldn't have expected this from you. Though I think you've manage to succeed better in life than I have so far.

My angry alcoholic father ruined my psyche. I didnt want to admit that but two summers ago I finally realized I'm not just a weird little dude with a quirky personality. I have some serious anger management issues that were not getting resolved and probably standing in my way of being a happy human being as well as productive member of society. Saw a shrink and we finally reached the conclusion is was his drinking and anger and self-esteem bashing that made me what I am today. Didnt want to admit that. Its such a cliche and I was hoping it would be deeper or more complex.
It isnt.
The shit that happens to kids is considerably more influential because they dont have much world experience and everything is very significant. Victories are more glorious, defeats (mental and physical) are more disheartening.
So, like many other gen-x kids with fathers who came back scarred from Vietnam, I grew up in an angry, hateful household which is why I wan an angry hateful little kid and since I never dealt with the core issue, grew up into an angry hateful adult.

Since discovering the real problem and learning how to deal with it I have become a shitload happier with myself, and am much easier for other people to like, so I have more friends.
Luckily I never picked up drinking as a habit cuz I seriously think that would have destroyed me before I left the Navy.

Oh, and doubt I have more successes than you. Being happy hasnt changed the fact I been outta work 3 years with no job in sight. No real girlfriend for 4 years. No sex with easy sluts in just under 3 years. No real friends (trust in life and death) since I left the Navy 5 years ago.

I guess most of us have stories like this.

I had this really cute girl who was my friend, she'd go with me everywhere. She'd go and get quarters for me so I wouldn't have to get away from the arcade, bought me lunch, etc.
I was too busy swooning over another girl that ignored me to notice any of it.

Worst was one time I was at her house, she did all sorts of things like sit on my legs and put her face way too close to mine. She finally told me her parents were away for the weekend, and dared me to spend the night there. I thought about it a little bit, then said my parents would probably get very worried...D:

tl;dr I WAS A FUCKING RETARD IN HS.

When he walks into Toby's office demanding to file a relationship thing. Then Toby asks if he even knows her last name. And Gabe goes "I will after tonight when she is screaming it all night long" Toby goes, "Shes going to be screaming her own last name?"

Yup, I was like that too and didn't even realize it. It sucks when your present self can't communicate with your past self.

It sure does. If I had even 5% of the knowledge and wisdom I've gained over the last 23 years back then, I wouldn't be kicking myself in the ass every day.
