  • You’re not the weird ones. I used to have joint accounts with my then-wife, but I’ll never do that again. Mainly because I will never marry again (ridiculous concept if you ask me - the government charging you money so that they can approve your relationship is bananas to me, and then paying them more to dissolve it if it doesn’t work out), but also because I haven’t met many people out there who manage their own money well, so why would I ever put them in a position of control over the money I earn?









  • I will admit to being new to Oregon after getting here from DFW about 10 days ago. And I have been trying to balance driving safely while admiring the views with being mindful of other drivers and allowing them to pass on the left when a turn-out area (or whatever they’re called) presents itself on mostly-one-lane-each-direction roads.

    But sometimes, man, these people wanna go 25 miles over the limit on winding mountain roads. I’ll go 10, maybe 15 mph over when it’s safe to do so and I’m going with the flow of traffic. But I’m new to the state, new to mountain driving, and have no idea the prominence of cops and staties and their speeding ticket quotas in this place. Basically, if you see my Texas plate, please don’t ride my ass…I’ll move over as soon as I can!

    I actually know this dude. His name is Bradley Cunningham. He lived a couple streets over and was my brother’s age when they were like 10 (I was 13). He was a whiny little bastard, but of course I went to hang out at his house because they had a pool and every NES game you could ever want to play. He was always 1st player and on the NES Max controller; everyone else had to take turns with each other, either on his janky classic controller or the NES Advantage (which, despite being great for arcade games, was obnoxious with most other games).

    Bradley would always insist on getting his way. If he wasn’t winning or didn’t get to use the exact pool noodle he wanted to use like right when he wanted to use it, he’d cry out “DADD-EH!!!”, because he knew his dad would ask us kindly to go home because he was a shit parent who didn’t want to deal with the headache of putting out kid fires and oh wait that’s not Bradley Cunningham, sure looks like him though.
