That sounds like an amazing stroke of good fortune

Chili's otoh is a different story.

I want endless nachos and potato skins and all that other stuff.

Villian,

I mean this sincerely,

Thanks for the replies. I'll give a status update tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, her father takes her in. If not, I guess she will do what she has to do.

We all know the correct course of action but it is kind of tough just throwing someone out that you obviously care about on some level knowing they will fail.

Where do you get a girl for 60$?

Are we to infer that the arson and attempted murder were not under the influence of drugs?

How can we sleep when our beds are burning?

How can we sleep when the nachos never end?

You can come visit and I will make nachos while we listen to Midnight Oil, all the while you are wearing your favourite shoes (I do make good nachos btw)

You clearly don't know which city Villian1 lives in, do you?



Villian1 - missed the deleted posts but sounds like you could use a little sushi & degening. I'll be around in a few weeks, try not to let Ms $60 hock the cupcake holder before I get there.



Bighurt52235 - the proper response to a TGI Fridays craving is:

I actually feel quite bad for Villian as I've met girls who are actually really nice people but have headed down the wrong path. Often due to ****ty life circumstances.

You can't fix her. Giving her a soft landing from addiction and related behaviors, while it feels like you're helping, likely actually harms her. In the short term she may indeed fail but that will be what ultimately leads to lasting success.

Put a lathe in the living room. She'll leave.

This is almost certainly true; or she will just light it on fire.

or, the always popular tomato on the hood of your car...

Went up to the Sierras last weekend to do some fishing. Camped at various places off Highway 108 on both sides of Sonora Pass. Crazy how much snow the storms dumped last winter. In the middle of July with temps in the high 70's the pass at ~8500 ft elevation still looks like this:


I've been going up here since I was a teen and don't remember seeing snow along this stretch of road in the middle of summer. (Here I'm following my dad's Subaru powered VW camper van)



Overlooking Leavitt Meadows.
You can't really tell from the pic, but that stream (the West Walker) has like 3 times as much water flowing through it as usual. Needless to say, fishing was tough.



Normally this little creek is literally a trickle. Not this year!



Got one! Just a wee little guy as far as brown trout go, but pretty colors.


Getting a little bigger, this time a 21" East Walker rainbow



And then I hooked into a truly monstrous fish, just an absolute beast!

Those are some great pics! I love trout. Have been meaning to go fishing for ages. You have inspired me!

baby perch just wanted a friend

cs3, great pictures.
I love to fish too, in fact I'm building a 1A pond on my property now.

Cs3,

cooooooool. Love it. I never fished. But the nature looks sooooo relaxing, so stress free.

Solid posting there, cs3!

So err.. any regs putting anything down on the McGregor fight?

I'd say put all your money on FMM but that seems kind of Babsian.

cool. I wouldn't be averse to some AC/DC either, Bon Scott era. As a Texan I do everything with my boots on, even die.

Or maybe a ****buddy.
