Dies to Removal

It's always awkward telling your guests "Listen, I have a hang-up about mean dogs and I won't hesitate to use this on them, and the manual says there's a good chance it'll melt your dog's eyeballs. Please, please, for the love of all that is good, don't get your dog into a situation where I have to use this."

Although ironically the manual also says that there's really only a 50% chance it'll stop a bear.

Dogs and septic systems are the most common implements my job uses, but electric transformers and concentrated pool acids are high on the list as well.

ya know what stops a bear? Chainguns

Especially one that divorced you

She didn't initiate the divorce, I did? She got offered a position in Tokyo, and I didn't really want to go, so we just decided to cut our losses, do our own thing, and if we were still as close later on down the line as we were when we spent basically every waking minute together (and we're still pretty darn close, I don't think either of us ever stopped loving one another) then we'd just do it all over again.

Nothing wrong with choosing different paths in life, a lot
of shit can change, and like many people have said, getting married that young was a big part of it. There were no hard feelings between us or anything, it was more like "I really want to do this, and I know you want to do that, so it's all good." I'd say we handled it like adults despite the naivety that it blossomed from. I still love the SHIT out of her and if she were to come back to the States I'd almost assuredly move back to Orlando if only to be close. She's my best friend, and as someone with pretty blatant Asperger's, it's generally very hard for me to feel feels correctly, but I know exactly how I feel about Natalie, and that's so worth the nonsense we went through for me.

I just saw You're Next, movie was awesome

Link? I'm down, but I'm not going to comb through the thread to find the link.

It turns out that as a consequence of my legal troubles, I am no longer welcome in tat least one county of Arizona. It could be bullshit, but I just paid a pretty hefty fine in $3 money orders (the lowest amount I could write them for, apparently) so I know they are pretty mad.

so you paid 150% of your fine with an extra 50% going to the government anyway because of spite that seems less than optimal if frustrating them was your goal

Also every day my job tries to find new and interesting ways to fuck me over.

like if you have a foreskin i don't judge you for having it and cool on you if sex is better for you because of it (sex is pretty awesome without it so i have no frame of reference) but for people asking people to be more open minded about foreskin they sure don't leave a lot of room for people to be open minded about not having it.

I tend not to read your posts so I probably missed your answer or I will miss your answer this time but have you ever worked at/gone to a camp called "Herzl camp?"
