I'm done. No more comments from me about Max and his non existent love life. It was obvious to some a while ago, but I kept at it.

You really effd things up tonight Max. You were handed the opportunity to go out, explore beyond your comfort zone and maybe, just maybe, further this relationship. The fact that you had two chances today to ask the deets, you failed again. You do not know why she asked you, Max. Don't just assume it's an afterthought. the point is, she did ask you to come to her get together. Now you will never know what her intentions were.

I know this is not my life and I should not get worked up over it, but I am. And again, I am done. Good luck with your adventures with women, Max. You are really going to need it.

Last thing and I am really done.

If I was given the opportunity you were, Max. I'd have been all over it like flies on ****. I'm not the most outgoing person (except for Europe, dunno why. ) and that would have been the perfect way for me to break the ice outside of class.

Done.

She never actually asked me to come directly. Me being a nerdy guy I need direct statements. I think I messed up more on Wednesday by not being quick on the uptake. I was distracted by the $hit that was going down with the FSAE team in regards to my idea versus something easier to do. I just was making small talk and the conversation quickly turned to the meeting that was fast approaching.

Max..... Non genuine Bosch parts will at least tell you if the cap and rotor are the trouble.... If it starts with a cheapie, replace with Bosch....


As far as the relationship..... I'll agree with dave, not worth us wasting more breath...

It starts fine, it is only under load that it misfires. The other day after changing the coil I could do full throttle pulls up moderate hills but once it hit 4,000 rpm it would misfire. It wasn't as bad as the drive home but it usually gets worse as the drive goes on and I had not driven very far. I was driving a bit hard in order to see if the problem was still there, so I was able to use more power but it wasn't fixed.

Not our fault that you didn't have the stones to do what needed done, and it's not like we haven't told you the same thing over, and over, and over.....


Sorry max, but until you step up, it's not our fault....

Yeah, Max. I don't mean to be a total ass, just a partial one. I think it's great you are are having so much fun with ME, but you can take a effn night off! Your life and life experiences are passing you by. You don't get a second chance.

They are right, Max. They only say it because they actually care about you. But I think everyone has given up because in the end, it isn't us, it's you. You have to change your ways for the result to be different. And you can make all the excuses you want. Rationalize it in your head like you always do but how is all of this working for you? We may not be right. We may be wrong. But the fact of the matter is, anything would be better than what you are doing now. Keep doing what you are doing now and get the same results. But don't get depressed either way. You are responsible for your decisions and the consequences of them. Not us. We suggest possible solutions and whether you take it or not is your decision. And again, the results are yours as well. And ultimately, you have to see the only reason why we harp on you is because we care, because we know you can do better, and lastly we want you to be happy. But we can only help you if you want help. And you don't. So done.

Next I get a call from a nephew that used to be president of Kimray (company I work for). He is having problems getting to one of his web sites. Since I am in no mental condition to mess with web hosting accounts and permissions stuff I refer him to the web developer guy at Kimray that was responsible for moving the sites from my Mac severs to HOSTPC which is having problems. He can't fix it and blames the access problem on the fact that my nephew uses a Mac. I call bull**** and call the web dev guy a PC idiot in a private email to my nephew. PC idiot was meant as one of those PC support people that blame any problem involving a Mac on the Mac and don't even try to find the real problem. My nephew sent that private email the the web guy.

Now the web guy is all pissed of and doing everything he can to make this all my fault and get me in troulble for calling him and idiot to one of the company owners. My nephew's web sites were moved because he resigned from his job at Kimray. The web guy is the one that insisted the web sites be moved, and that they be moved to hostpc. And that he has 100s of sites hosted that he has no problems with.

Well, the guy was not albe to get one, not one of my nephews wordpress sites working properly, and wasn't able to set up simple ftp access to one of the sites either. AND is now saying he is a web developer and NOT a server administrator and how it's not his job to take care of my nephews sites and especially since my nephew doesn't actually work at kimray any more. This is with the HOSTpc account my nephews sites are hosted under are sub accounts of the web guys account and he is making money from the hosting.

i thought PC Idiot was being generous.

AAAAAARGH!! I can't even walk across the freakin room and i have to put up with this shee eyet.
That does sound like a horrible day!!! I wish I was closer and I could help since I have all the time in the world now. That's horrible of your brother to leave you to tend to your mother in the state you are in. That's really hard to take care of somebody else when you are trying to heal as well. Again, wish I was there to help. Is there anyway you can hire an aide to come once a day for an hour to help with little chores? Sometimes insurance will pay for it. Call a social worker or home health agency and they might help you. Sorry. Virtual hug?

I should. Turn it to the proper dimensions and somehow carve the crest into the center.

Morning, Rick.
