The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Trying to get some shit ironed out here. One damned thing after another. The drywall guy came to visit and we had a nice time. That dumb shit that Wat disliked intensely? The one without teeth? That fucker? His Xmas prezzie? He got cut the fuck a'loose.


About fucking time.


It would have been more merciful to have booted him while he was still probaterized.
 
I have finally caught up! Why does everything happen at this time of year? I was in my car today and the check engine light came on.😤 Something to do with an O2 sensor that's $600!!! 😱😱

Ok. I'm sorry, but this pisses me off. (At one point I was a certified mechanic. I still do my own stuff.) On average this is probably an under $50 part, and likely a 10 minute job once the car is in the air. I've done many of these on.my own stuff. I know you can't do it yourself, so you're kinda stuck. I would gladly offer to help if you weren't several thousand miles away.

If you can find the right mom and pop shop, and get to know them, it might be worth looking for one.
 
I think the smaller shops where the overhead is low are what to look for. If the waiting room is kinda grungy, the wife runs the books, and the guy wrenching has salt and pepper going on. Especially if he's got maybe one or two other guys helping that's probably what you want.

As soon as there's bright lights, a spotlessly mopped floor, and two receptionists working the counter, and the guy doing the quote has a nice clean shirt, there is enough overhead that they have to charge extra.

Nothing wrong with them making a buck. I just don't wanna give them ALL of mine.
 
TW: crisis, suicide
Well, I went. I probably should have stayed home. Zero good news. Fuck, Fuck, Fuckity, Fuck. Honestly, I really am too young for this shit.

Where did I leave that cliff, now??? You remember, the one to jump off of... :confused:

Back from a good eye exam. Now it’s recovering from dilation of the eyes. Nap time.
Excellent news!
Ah yes, the dilation. I understand why it's needed, but it wipes me out, too.
Hope you got a good nap. 🫂

Funny how SO many people miss the point of a Probationary Period. :rolleyes: :mad:
The easiest way to cut a weasel loose!

Still - another chance to use that idiom from high school Spanish class:
Más vale tarde que nunca 😂
(Better late than never)
