Are you sure they want one?
Perhaps they don't want the extra responsibility, though it's good that you're thinking about them.
Live pets, in general, are cute as gifts-- but their novelty wears down quickly when people realize their responsibility.
If you're going to get them a dog, you ought to try a rescued dog. They need good homes.

What happened Mal is I'm about 20 minutes from home, and the damn thing wants me to stay on the road I'm on. Now we come to a three way fork. Two ends of the fork go back onto I-80 and the one end keeps me on Rt. 36 where I need to be. The GPS said straight...so I went straight...back onto I-80...to me, the fork for straight and right took me to 80, turning, or simply veering to the left would keep me on 36. I know the damn thing could have told me to "veer left" or what not because it told me to veer about five or six times prior....the machine was a liar.

I prefer the nagging-wife voice.

nah they have plenty of time for them weiner dogs and small dogs in general are really easy to take care of.
Live pets, in general, are cute as gifts-- but their novelty wears down quickly when people realize their responsibility.
when they got the first dog snickers everything in the house go better the Old man came home not so grumpy any more because he played with dog he gives uncondiotional love and all he wants to do is play and snuggle and sleep LOL.
If you're going to get them a dog, you ought to try a rescued dog. They need good homes.
I looked and there were two for $50 and $100 at the nearby indian reservation.

It was my friend's, and his car. He did the drive down, which was a lot harder since we had to go through NYC a bit mid day, and then I did the ride back...which avoided that section. I was not aware that it would but was quite pleased when it did.

Well, looks like Jack Daniel made his way into "1,000 Ways to Die!"
But what I don't get is this, why did they changed his name to "Jasper"? Everyone knows who he is so why bother? Is it to avoid lawsuit from the company?
Kinda unnecessary, oh well...I'll go and take a swig of "Jasper Daniel".

Never mind, his name is Jasper.
Guess "Jack" sounded better when it comes to selling something that can help us get drunk faster.

Well, plans have changed. My boyfriend was coming up to visit me tomorrow. Now his manual transmission won't shift gears. So I'll head down there for a little bit instead. Just need to get some final plans nailed down. I was heading down there in three weeks anyway since we're going to a wedding together but I guess both of us didn't want to wait three weeks. Besides, if he can't move his car he'll need me to drive mine.

hmm well I asked my parents what they would think my mom does but my old man said If I got them a dog he'd kick my ass (which is doubtful because of the heart attack he had and stint in his heart.)

He was no match for my t-shirt and spastic flailing.

Somebody had to do this, goddamn.
I got Super Mario Galaxy 2 last weekend and haven't even bothered with opening it up.
I figure I've gone downhill since 17.

I played Hard Rock Cafe @ Beale again.
Is it a good or a bad sign when half my following is old band members?
Also, groupies are batshit nuts. For them, you must set trust=0, as in f(g)=g(xxx)-(trust)

Uh... no. I just want to be left alone, I don't want to complicate the issue any.
Besides, my luck, my mother and two older sisters would try to find me a nice guy to go out with. And if that happened, my father would have a STROKE... which would be mildly amusing considering he's a southern baptist deacon...

Still, it can't be as goddamn bad as Sonic Unleashed. A friend of mine and I spent days in front of his 360 trying so effing hard to beat the final stage we actually DID damage the controllers a little from spastic, furious buttonmashing and rage-squeezing.

The only way out then is to imply asexuality.

Thank you for your call, please call again !
Actually, tell them the truth.
Your not rushing into a possible mistake. If there's one thing I've learned from being married & divorced, where I am now & what I have observed in my friends & family...is (this is my opinion) often people rush into relationships.
They meet someone & they both have an idea that we have this or that in common & what they like is OK...& what they don't like they can help change that person from doing the things they don't like.
That is dishonest, you may not realise it, but it is.
You're just fooling yourself.
Its also from what I've seen not going to work, , sure some things you can change, like I learned to never leave the seat up... I had a wife & several little girls & leaving the seat up wasn't hard to change...many other things are not .
People for the most part resist change. They are often quite content to carry on with what has always worked &/or makes them happy. THinking you can somehow change someone who for example hates sleeping in a made bed, isn't going to work. This actually became a bone of contention with my ex, she liked tucked in sheets, you sleep on your back, each of us on their own side... me, I rip the bedlinen up into the air let it fall into a heap on the bed & crawl in under it...that's how I like to sleep ,nestled down laying on my side.
Don't let anyone rush you into a relationship.
Not anyone...especially yourself Proteas.
When you think you've met the 'right one' that's usually when your brain stops working, for just a little while & then you wake up one morning & you realise wrestling hungry alligators in a mud hole becomes a more enjoyable start to your day than having breakfast with your partner.

I don´t really see a problem, Proteas-- I mean, perhaps you may want to be a bachelor forever. But it's nice to have someone there, for you.
Right before my grandma died, he told me that my true family is whoever I'm married to. (Although, I being readily different from my family because of the homo thing that I got going on-- that's slightly a more complex issue. None the less, I understand the sentiment behind her words...)
And it true. When my grandpa died-- she was the only one left in her home. All her children grew up and had their own families.
Consider the options that your family are giving. You're very shy and reserved, and they want you to meet with girls and fall in love. I sense that you may not be giving yourself credit either, and are avoiding girls. If you're not liking their options, I dunno-- go to places that you like and engage with the girls there.
Go to a shooting range... find a gal that strikes your fancy... and say, "hi." Proceed from there, and maybe-- she be the one.

The idea of being in a relationship or dating someone does not bother me, and it's not like I have issues with walking up to a girl and starting a conversation or anything. There have been girls I have given serious thought to asking out or getting involved with, and the only reason I didn't was because they were already in a serious relationship. Hell, I almost wound up being a girl's rebound boyfriend a month ago.
and I would have done it to had she not been a complete emotional clusterfuck. 19 years old, you're getting a a legal separation from your husband, you have a kid, and your mother just died... yeah...
What bugs me is the herd mentality that's going around, as though I HAVE to find someone because my brother and two sisters have already found somebody. I overheard one of my sister's talking "we need to find Stephen a girlfriend," like I need fixing or something.
It could be worse, I suppose.

Proteas killed the thread with that awesome pic...the dastard.
So I was actually informed by a manager at my job yesterday that I should get on board with what the management fucks are trying to do even if I don't disagree. In short, sell out.
Except that on my eval it's made clear if I want to improve my "status" in the eyes of the company I should actually NOT do that and not stop complaining.
Plus these guys are probably out in a few weeks anyway, and even if not, he made the mistake of saying I could be the way I am now and nothing bad will happen. Stupid stupid fucker...lol.
