Now I keep all of my game pieces.
Holy crap...that sucks :(

must......resist.......commenting......
Does the comment you're resisting start with an "A" and end with an "ttention Whore?" ;)

Quitting a really good job and moving to a different state so my spouse could go back to college. We should've stayed there and he should've gone to the UW while I kept my career going.

My Mistress might be a little upset if I tried to contradict that. :p

The worst mistake I ever made was not heeding the warning on Nair that says, "DO NOT USE ON GENITAL OR ANAL/PERIANAL AREAS." Yeah. Ouch.

Nope not SHENS! Not BS! No lie in my statement.

100% True Story. Unbelievable story by all accounts but its 100% true. I'm saving up the story in hopes Gloria Allred gets me a book deal.:D


Some day I'll get up the nerve to post the story and the outcome that is, some 11yrs later.

If any of you understand my screen name, that will give you some insight as to the position my boss was in at the time..................................

When I was 5 or so I opened up a bottle of Sprite to find that the cap said "You Win a Jeep!" I was excited, so was my babysitter, until we checked the rules on the back, which said the contest had ended 3 days ago. Stupid us, we threw out the cap and bottle whole. Later we found out we'd read the rules incorrectly, and there's a good chance my folks could have gotten the Jeep. Kicked myself over that one for years.

And no, the babysitter didn't mysteriously wind up with a brand new Jeep a few weeks later. :p

Either:

1. quit engineering in my senior year of college... should have gotten the degree even if I didn't want to be an engineer.

2. Used lendingtree.com to find a lender... of the 3 they gave us, we chose the one in this state. Still contemplating legal action... lost out on our dream home as a result of his incompetence and lies.

We had a bad experience with lendingtree too. Problem with them is that they only allow you to rate/comment on a lender after you complete a deal. If the deal goes to sh!t due to their incompetence, you can't rate them. Ours was so bad that the lender didn't bother to fight it when we contested the credit card charge for the loan origination. We won, but nearly lost our place in the process (had to scramble to find a new lender at the last minute.)

Breaking up with my ex who I was in love with after 4 years at different colleges only to realize it was a mistake right before we are about to graduate and would have been living together and happy. Now she is with someone else and I threw it all away for practically nothing.
