Like, you look at people around you on any given day and you think, "we're not that different you and I. we go to work, feed out families, pay our bills. Maybe the differences between us the 24 hours news channels try to wedge in are just fabricated outrage to sell ad space."

Then you see a grumper... and you're instantly reminded that no, me and this dude absolutely have nothing in common.

Imagine eye lashes on a volkswagen beetle, then remove all the whimsy and silliness and replace it with anger and punisher stickers and probably stolen valor. That's what I think when I see a grumper.
People always tell me to "relax" that I'm too up tight, or I need to not always be so serious. I was raised in a military family, that's just who we are. I tell people that if they get to know the person that they always tell these thing to, they would have a different outlook on them. But back to the story, the wife is the one that chose the grill. People do double takes when they see her driving!

Did you delete the post that was quoted above? No need for that man, we’re all grown ass men here, well except for some of the mods?.?
I would share my bourbon with any of you folks, except the angry bird crowd ?. Nah, who am I kidding, we can never have too many friends. I’m sure that some will not like how I’m going to decorate my Mojave but it’s my money spent and I should be the one happy with it.
Anyway, happy Father’s Day.?

There's a good sized hill coming into my neighborhood. It's maintained by the HOA and tops out into a road to my house. It's a decent slope with some articulated spots....every time I drive by I am so tempted to jerk the wheel and go right up. Never have due to judgy neighbors and not wanting a cranky HOA letter. Woke up this morning and my 9yo son says, "Dad, it's Father's Day, we're driving up the hill" I cannot argue with that. Just waiting for the traffic of the day to die down....?

Good Dad, just remember the older they get, you always have to one up the last!

Hilarious! This is exactly why my daughter drives so well off road. When she was little she and I got into all kinds of craziness with my first Jeep. She would get a funny little grin and her eyes would sparkle, and she would point out something like that hill, laugh, and say something like “better not tell Mommy about this one!” ??
Her first car was a Cherokee and we took it off road through a local park on the test drive to make sure the 4 wheel drive was in good working order. The sales guy was crapping his pants. ??

If you put your foot that deeply in your mouth you'd delete too. I know it's still quoted but I figure at least the act of self deletion shows some contrition.

This world could use a little contrition. Good for you.

Your good, I was raised completely opposite of the past couple generations, I don't have a problem with words. People can talk all day long, don't bother me. As long as they keep their hands to themselves I can listen as long as they want to talk.
