    I try to 'fix' most things,  before I even think of throwing them away or replacing them.

  • You could start a business. 

    All you need is a truck - Or a therapy couch.

    Depends on the item, how old it is, how costly it would be to replace vs. cost of repair.  As a rule, I try to fix rather than replace, but sometimes that's throwing good money after bad.

    How are you going to 'fix' your fake marriage to that Canadian hussy?

    Maybe Element meant to direct that question to me based on my fake online marriage, but even I don’t refer to any women as hussies (no matter how bad they are or how badly they treat me).

    I was referred to several times as a trollop on another site by this a$$hole who thought he was hot sh*t, but I was never called a hussy. :)

      With proper care (which they do receive under my roof), they can potentially last forever.

    SELL!  Hey!  How's your family Ele?  I can call you Ele, right?  Want to buy a couple of nice recliners??  I'll give you a real good price, since you're a personal friend.   This post was edited by CallMeIshmael at September 1, 2019 9:54 AM MDT

    Give it to someone else and let them make the choice.

  • If and when the day comes that I tire of "The Goat"
    I'll be sure to let you know what I do with him.

    Let's see, what can I do with this?

    First of all, maybe he will TIRE of you and find someone who appreciates him.  Jealous?

    Just don't get too cocky, poppy.   Anyone who thinks they can never be left, often starts to take their partner for granted.

  • Very good advice. 
    I assure you though, he knows I love him and I know he loves me. 
    We deserve each other.  LOL!  He's stuck with me as I am him.     This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at September 1, 2019 11:05 AM MDT
