    Was she driving a manual transmission? You haven't lived unless she was and it gets better when your sons starts driving the same vehicle.

    No, automatic. I learned on a manual truck. My dad said a lot of curse words teaching me how to drive. He also kicked me out of the drivers seat on a lot of occasions as well.

    Seriously Minnesota? It's damn near April and you give us 7 inches of snow... I'm so ready for spring.

    I have been with the DNR 19 years this is the first spring I have not staffed at the fire base in March. I too am very sick of this winter and I ponder why I live in Minnesota anymore.

    Teaching my kid to drive was a religious and hidtorical experience. I prayed the whole time and my life flashed in front of my eyes several times.

    First time that I've ever broke my phone... I hate dealing with getting a new one. Absolutely hate it. Dropped it on Saturday while it was in my case and somehow the screen broke. The glass is not broke though, it's like the LCD screen underneath did. I am dreading having to go to Verizon tonight.

    We just got 7" and we have another 4-8" on the way today/tomorrow. It's simply not fun anymore. Average high for today is about 50 and we are seeing lows close to 5. I just want spring.

    I hear ya! We had 4 inches Sat. I'm ready to get the boat out but there is nowhere to go nearby. Would have to travel 100 miles to fish. I do that in the summer but with the weather still this cold, it's hard to keep draining the inboard cooling system after each outing.

    Note to self: next boat has out boards!

    I'm drinking a Qoors light and playing Candy Crush. Having a Blast. I may be the world's most uninteresting man.

    So I got divorced last year and started dating a girl with 4 kids (3 girls and a boy) and I am happy. My big issue is the boy's dad, her last relationship. I've watched the arguments go on for the last couple of months, including a trip out for the required visitation. I reached out to him to let him know that I'm not here to replace him as the boy's dad, it's not my job, and that I thought it was admirable that he was going to move half way across the country just to be with his son. I offered to help him find employment and a place, to which he told her that he can't accept my help.

    Well the boy has stopped being interested in talking to his dad on Skype the last couple of weeks, and I want to help this guy see his kid, so I tell him to talk to his old man, follow him around with the phone (the boy is 2). Yesterday after their call, he sends the girlfriend an email stating that I don't need to raise my voice at his son and he saw me "strike him" (I bonked him with a binder on top of the head) and said he'd take it higher.

    My struggle right now is reaching out (either via email, Facebook or phone) and letting him know that I've done nothing but take care of his boy since we moved in together and that he needs to calm his ****. It irritates the sh*t out of me that he'd go off like that, but at the same time, I don't want him to know that he's gotten underneath my skin and give him that advantage.

    I suppose there could be a few crap beers that might be ok but most of it tastes like crap. Beer drinking is not about pondering complex subtle tastes and after tastes, pop the top and shut up on drink. It pisses me off when I go to a place that only has hippy beer I want a normal average race car beer.
