I complain about my boss sometimes, but he's pretty generous when it comes to issues like this.

At least no one you know died.

I will make no joking remark about that and simply offer you a hug and a beer.

I'm alright. I hope you get your car fixed soon. Tires are no joke.

My bigger worry now is the body damage.  The jagged piece of remaining bumper is flapping in the wind and I'm worried it's going to break loose and fly off and hit something, there are wires hanging down.  I'm hoping it's fine and I can drive with it looking ghetto until I can save up to fix it.

I broke down and bought four New tires for the Polkmobile back in May.  Discovered that the horrible vibrating my car did at speeds over 60 mph  was due to the tires being terrible.  Anyway I'm just saying be careful.  Hope your day gets better.  Should iI have tequila delivered at chez Arkay?

I really hate the homophobic reaction.  Saw one guy say "they're all gonna burn in hell"  and my answer was "why does that concern you?"

Your answer should have been, "Well, if that's true, At least you'll have some fabulous company!"

It'll be $85, but I'm fine with that. My brother and his wife helped me out with some money last month and that's made a big difference. After that, I'm gonna grab something to eat. I'm torn between 7-11 and Subway.

Also, new poll up.

A friend of mine posted a rant on facebook about the SCOTUS decision and how they should have let it be handled by the states, there are more important things the country should be focused on etc. He ended his rant with "I don't care about gay marriage. At. All." and I couldn't resist pointing out that making a facebook post shows that he does actually care about the issue at least a little bit.
