I never should have mentioned SAMA. That was a dumb move on my part.

My balls have been dipping in some toilet bowls for years. But oh man, I laughed pretty hard at DJ’s flusg story.[/quote]

No man I am glad you did, get that out of the way. She knows I hang here to blow off steam from work and the over 35 keeps me inspired to lift and meet really cool guys who are in the same situation as me in life.

Man I have a ton more, with a few drinks I am the life of most party’s. :slight_smile:

Count been tucking for years.

Powered sperm hahahahahahaha

Old bastard

another conversation between me and my 26 year old still-lives-at-home son.

Son - my boss told me that he knows I’m not happy at work and that I should find another job.
Me - So you got fired today
Son - I didn’t get fired, he told me that he’ll keep me until the middle of August
Me - So he’s looking for your replacement?
Son - yeah, he doesn’t want to have the position empty
Me - So he’s firing you when he finds your replacement?
Son - I’m not being fired! He knows that I’m not happy there
Me - he can tell you aren’t happy because you have told him that?
Son - no, he can just tell, everyone can tell
Me - so your lousy attitude at work got you fired.
Son - Whatever
Me - so, what are your plans?
Son - I don’t know, take some time, check around
Me - Let me put it to you this way, I won’t be coming home from work to have you either still sleeping or playing video games. That is not going to happen, mkay?
Son - you never support me
Me - ?

And, he hates it?

What does he want to do?

1029

[quote]imhungry wrote:

he would like to be a music director, and/or have something to do with the church sound system.

problem is…he is racked with over 80K in student debt, and over 20K in revolving debt.

He needs to make somewhere around 50K to make ends meet (if he had an apartment), so he’s looking for a music director job that pays that kinda money.

Now…

Who is going to make a 26 year old kid a music director at a church that is big enough to pay him that kinda money?

no one.

and with his attitude, who’s gonna hire him to work for them if he argues, pouts and snivels, and calls in sick all the time?

no one.

where is he going to live for the rest of my life?

yes, Beansie…with me.

Fuck my everloving life~

^ Tough love Edgy, my 20 year old has been living with friends for the past year cause I cut him off. I feel for you but only you can change him by not enabling him. Sorry my friend.

Fuck.

Foam roll him out of the house.

1032

yep - foam rolling…shit’s black magic~

and, yep…tough love is tough.

I just don’t get it…I left the house at 19 and never thought of coming back…I’d live in my car before I’d ever think of moving home…by the time I was his age, I was married with 2 kids and a mortgage.

I just don’t get it, and I know that I can’t communicate effectively with him BECAUSE I don’t get it.

ya’know?

Your a good man and you love your child Edge nothing wrong with that. Stop thinking short term and think long term. Where will he be in 10 years if you give him tough love or keep enabling him? What kind of father will he be?

I am in the middle, I live with my pops, but I also move across the country and live by myself most of the year. I pay for myself and for most of my expenses and I pay rent and pay most of the bills when I live with my pops.

So, not two kids and a mortgage, but not 26 and bumming either.

I’m gonna kick my kid out next week. She’s been living off me long enough.

I feel your pain,edgy.

1037

Edgy,

Some people don’t know what hustle means. They want to curl up into a ball and be in silence when they get knocked down; they think they deserve that “down time.” I don’t get it, but it’s a common mentality, unfortunately.

Play up his strengths. Don’t push him to do anything. You can kick him out, sure.

My sister is sort of like him. Drives me nuts.

Jesus Christ I laughed super fucking hard.

And Edgy, I think DJ might be right. Dude has like 13 kids and Latin wife, he understands tough love, lol.

But seriously, dude needs to get a job doing what he likes at the low levels, and then get a second job to pay the bills.

God that is a big student loan for a major that won’t get you a job.

That last line didn’t help did it?
