I ordered a 2022 Ford Maverick XLT back in June of this year. I won't get it until 2022....:(

Win some, lose some. Got $1100 from a guy that I filed a lien against in 2016. Turns out his deceased parents had some land he wanted to sell. Guess it had to get transfered into his name before he could. Win.


Another guy hasn't paid so I called his wife. Getting a divorce after he was caught shagging some other woman. Caught by her boyfriend, who just about blew his leg off. He's a long haul driver....was...won't ever drive again. Lose.

Have her send you pics instead, then post them here. Win-win.

My lady was craving a Mang-O-Rita from Budweiser today, she use to love those. I went to the store and saw them, but the can was different. Of course she noticed the different can right away "this isn't what I wanted... I don't even think this is the one from Bud" I showed her it was, she took a few drinks

"this tastes nothing like the old Mango one, ugh"
"maybe it's because you haven't had one in over a year and just don't remember"
"no, I remember, this definitely isn't the same drink"

So out of curiosity to see what happened I Googled it. I found a press release direct from Budweiser that said they changed how the can looked and the wording because they wanted the product to appeal more to females since hard seltzer drinks are all the rage now. It clearly said that even tho the can was different, the formula was untouched so the flavor was unchanged.

I showed this to her, she read it and instantly said "I know what I know, this isn't the same drink I don't care what they say" And now she's upset at me because I couldn't find the drink she wanted, even though this is the drink she wanted.

The most hilarious part to me, the new can has "sparkling Margarita" writen on it where the old one didn't. And she's swearing up and down the old wasn't carbonated because she hates fizzy drinks so no way she would have ever liked it. She drank a lot of them when they came out.

I use to work at 2 liquor stores so I know the local Budweiser rep, if I run into him I'm going to have him call her to explain all that's different is the can, and she must like carbonation because she drank dozens of them. I don't have the cajones to tell her anything else and risk pissing her off. He doesn't know her so he'll be safe.

Will you idiots never learn? It doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong in an argument with your S.O., you're always gonna be wrong. Just accept it, say, "Yes dear, of course you're right.", and move on.

Everywhere in europe are all faucets so small that when you wash your hands, you hit the bin.

$9.60 coin and currency deposit fee. Assholes. Friend flips cars for some extra $$. I fund him and make 20% on the profit of the sale. Beats the heck out of the 0.0029% the bank is paying. Anyway, redeposit the $13K in cash...BAM, handling charge.
Assholes charged me $1.75 for doing a night drop. Checks, no cash. I'm going to have to make a call.

Lol such poor design. They did the same at my work, and we complained and they fixed it. I don't know how anyone can install something like that and think it's ok and leave the job lol.

Went to go to my GP's office for a check up to get some prescriptions renewed. The neighbor a few houses down has a scissors lift in front of his house. I think he works for United Rentals, he was using it to put up Christmas lights. Seeing the United Rentals logo reminded me of a story I saw recently that the owner of Ahern Rentals was super into politics. That got me thinking about other companies that are into politics, which led me to Chick-fil-A. That reminded me of the story I saw recently about In n Out refusing to comply with vaccine mandates. Which got me thinking about my friends who super love In n Out and eat there every chance they get. I started thinking about what they like so much about it, it's OK but not great, a bit pricey, and the wait is always super long.

Anyway, before I knew it I was halfway to In n Out and had to turn around and go the opposite direction to get to my doctor appointment. I just went on mental autopilot and headed toward the place I was thinking of.

You sure have allot of time to think while driving. I'm usually concentrating on avoiding people who absolutely must use their phone at all times. I wish they'd get off the sidewalks.

Went to set up an LLC with LegalZoom, which I used like 12 years ago to create the first and only other LLC I created. So I paused the application process because I had to do something else and double check on something about the LLC. Anyways, about 15 minutes after I stopped the application, I get a call from LegalZoom about helping me with my unfinished 'order'. They obviously had my phone number on file from my previous LLC. Still, that was really annoying. I told the guy I had some shit to figure out first, he said he would follow up with me in a week. I said not necessary if I have any questions I'd contact them.

Now I'll probably use another company. I thought that was annoying as hell.


I have only one question here .... why did you answer the call at all?

:p


I ate a donut that had lot of icing on it and it got all over my beard.

I got about 13 bags of these almonds from aldi, and every single one has been light. Says on the back 5 servings per package, but the most I've gotten has been two servings, and most only one :^(

There is a water shortage, obviously it would impact the almonds.

One of the local radio stations started playing 24/7 Christmas music yesterday. At least wait until after Thanksgiving...
