(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm supposed to be getting something cool in the mail today.

Mabus will appreciate it.

Oh shit

I just thought of something to do in flight sim 2020.... fly over Sunnyvale trailer park. I gotta google where they filmed it because I don't exactly know my way around Halifax.

I took a road-trip today to support one of my favorite breweries, which recently landed itself in mortal financial trouble.

TL;DR Weyerbacher expanded big, but growth slowed and their expansion plans hinged on growth continuing to be explosive. This did not happen, so they went bankrupt and lost a bunch of market share(and shelf space, including in my neck of the woods).
Can confirm the beer is as great as ever, and I picked up a Weyerbacher pint glass, so I'll always have a memento if the worst happens. Currently using it to drink some of their 23rd Anniversary brew: a golden stout.

Good for you. That's admirable you went out of your way to support booze.

@So_Hajile my comment "I appreciate Kroger's succulent variety in front of the store. I usually buy at least one each time i'm there. A little potted cacti can brighten up any home." got modded in that Star Wars thread for derailing the conversation, lmao.

Did yours get hit too?

Like Johnny said, that's cool you took a trip there to support a local business.

I like chelada beer, it's half beer half tomato juice

That's so very true.

---

Johnny you ever get around to that Shadow Warrior 2?

---

I should be continuing on with it. I just haven't. I played through the first part and the main character is funny as hell and the gameplay aint bad. I'm just so busy with my schedule flying from town to town.

---

You get some insane weapons down the line, that's what reminds me of Borderlands a lot. The humor is great also.

---

You ever get Wreckfest?

Me, you, and Canuck need a game we can play together.

---

It was actually free to play last weekend and I got it and tried it, i'll pick it up when it's on sale again for sure, it wasn't bad.

---

Where the fuck is @CanuckCowboy ? Walter chew through the drywall and bring the house down on both of em?

---

Yeah he's been on hiatus again, been a few days since i've seen him post. Harpie has been long MIA also.

---

I think Harpie is getting laid.

---

She got that new reporter job also she's probably busy, or found a nice hobo on one of her adventures and is living off the land

I figure Harp is busy with classes starting up, her reporter job and spending time with her boy toy will keep her occupied for a while.

Last time I saw Canuck, he mentioned having to get up early for work so he goes to bed early. I like to think he's secretly plowing through The Rockford Files though.

---

So my cat plays fetch....

I throw this little chain thing that usually acts as a switch for ceiling fans and she CHASES IT! AND CARRIES IT IN HER LITTLE MOUTH! Now if only I could get her to carry it to ME instead of the bathroom. I literally have no idea why she only takes it there. But hey, we've got a new game to play. She catches the chain, I.... catch the chain.... hmm....

---

I've had a couple of cats that would do the same thing, my girl right now will chase a metal bottle cap and bring it back to me and drop it on my foot. She will play for 10-20 minutes, it's pretty fun. I had one obsessed with stuffed mice also, he'd bring it back and try to tuck it between my leg and the couch cushion. I don't know what that instinct is to do that, I didn't train either of them.

---

Its really funny how we have tile floors and she can't get any traction to run at light speed like she wants. She's never cared for stuffed mice or any other toy other than the chain and string.

---

My black cat only plays with those thin plastic tabs that attached price tags to clothing and plastic tequila bottle neck plastic. He likes that pull off strip thing on milk gallons also.

---

I like playing hockey with my cat with bottle caps across a tile floor.

---

Pissed my friends gf off and then made her laugh and everything is fine. Can't do that with my gf. That sucks.

How much are you supposed to spend on an engagement ring and then you have to fucking turn around and buy a wedding ring.... like what do you spend on engagement/wedding? @MabusIncarnate You might know,

I also have a real problem with wearing rings. I can't really do it.

Honestly, I let my wife go and pick out what she wanted. She being the frugal person she is she waited until she found a set she really liked on sale. Granted we didn't get the rings until like a year and a half into our marriage.

---

I spent 3500AUD on my wife's engagement ring and then my wedding band was 1350AUD and hers was 1200AUD. My wedding band is fucking badass though.

---

I've drank 6 beers and half a litre of gin today and it didn't hit me until right about now.

God, I could go for some coke though. It's been a good few months

My wife didn't really do an engagement ring since there wasn't much of an engagement/proposal for us. Plus she thought it was stupid to put that much money into an engagement ring and not the wedding ring itself. Wedding ring has more importance to her.

We went and picked out our rings together. She got exactly what she wanted and it was a fun couples activity for us. It also helps remove the whole "how much money to put into the ring" situation. I think we spent about $3500 on hers and $500 on mine. We didn't go into the store planning to spend a certain amount or anything. She got the canary diamond she wanted with sapphires on each side which is my birth stone. For our 1 year anniversary, we bought her an anniversary band to compliment the wedding ring.

Also in regards to wearing a ring, it was really weird feeling for me at first but I adjusted. Now I feel naked leaving the house without it.

---

I love my ring

---

I thought that traditionally people only had one ring for the longest time. Like I thought engagement and wedding rings were used interchangeably lol.

Do men only have one ring though? My dad and brother just have a single band. My dads is gold and my brothers is silver. I think its tungsten or something, but its surprisingly heavy D:

---

My sister got married yesterday. Much alcohol was consumed by yours truly. And now I got a wicked hangover
---

I think "traditionally" it's supposed to cost about what you make in one month of work. My wife likes smaller jewelry and said many times she didn't want something large, I wound up getting her a 1 carat diamond ring and It was about $1800. She still says it was too much but I know she loves it, she's just a humble person when it comes to stuff like that.
