The key is having one person lead putting the furniture together and the other one follow and help out only when needed. Like “Can you hold these two pieces together while I tighten this screw?” We have way too much IKEA in our apartment and out of all the arguments I’ve had with my girlfriend, we’ve never had one over building IKEA furniture.
Same. Been commenting for years and have been too lazy to write something, but if there were a transparent process of how it all works, I might do something. Maybe something finance/credit card related, partially to provide tips for the reader base, partially to piss off ATL Guy.
Takeout and a movie tonight and seeing Beyonce and Jay Z at Levi’s tomorrow. Sunday will be spent on the couch watching Red Zone and praying to the fantasy Gods because my opponent this week had Goff and Kupp so I’m already 60 points in the hole.
Damn dude, don’t be jealous just because you don’t have good credit and don’t have access to good credit cards so you can’t get free travel via good rewards. It’s all good, bro.
Girl who lost your mom last year: I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve mentioned this on here a few times in the past, but I also lost my mom, albeit some time ago when I was in college. When I started dating, the parental question would inevitably come up a few dates in and I would address it basically the same way that Dillon suggests. I would usually say something like “My mom actually passed away when I was in college, but my dad does XYZ.” It would normally result in a “that must have been hard” or a “I’m sorry for your loss” and then the conversation moved on from there. People are usually understanding of such a tragedy and of course if you’re just getting to know someone, are in no way prepared to delve into the emotional pain that comes associated with it.
As the relationship progresses, you can and definitely should open up to your partner and delve into the loss more, but for something new, a simple mention should be enough. Whatever you do, don’t feel guilty or embarrassed. No one will think less of you (and if they do, good riddance to them). It’s not your fault that such a thing happened; it’s life.
My rule of thumb that pretty much applies to any social event: if I’m meeting one person (friend, girlfriend, etc.), show up a few minutes early because I hate having people wait for me. If it’s a social event with multiple people, aim to show up on time, but probably get there around 10 minutes late.
Well takeout and The Terror tonight will be fun, but yeah the CPA stuff sucks. You have to renew every two years. At least there’s no tests involved. I just have to click thru online lectures to get to the final test, then search for PDFs of said lectures for answers. It’s not hard, just boring and takes a while.
Getting takeout and binging The Terror tonight. Then the rest of this weekend will consist of watching football while prepping to renew my CPA license, which expires in a few months. I won’t have much time during that span to do the prep so I’m offloading a large chunk of it on this weekend.

Avoid the 405. Always. I will never forget the time that it took me two hours to drive 20 miles on the 405…at 1 AM.
James Franklin and all the Penn State fans. What the hell was he thinking with that play call?

He’s either a hipster or didn’t go to college right out of high school.
$20 bucks says that Tom is into cuckolding and wants to see Todd bang Claire.
Already did that, hence the baby steps.
I only clicked on this article because of the stock photo girl.
Being stuck at “baby steps” for the last year. PGP.

Still crying over Jimmy G. I’d give him my ACL if I could. I sure as hell don’t need it for sitting 8 hours a day.
Also, Nick, Getting Back in the Game has become my favorite fiction series on the site.
Any updates on fixing the PGP app comment bug?

Those couple of beers will turn into drunk jealous texts and then coming up next week: “Getting Back Into The Game: Apologizing.”
