Easter Weekend

[bnorman]

I lost my dad 20 years ago. I wish he was here to run into my car. Give you dad a hug and tell him it will be Ok. Its only a car.

i don't think nick meant it in a bad way..i think he was just venting out and for sure that before they went home that night, they give each other a hug

my easter? I played as a Roman Soldier who put the nail on the cross in our church play and the only thing thats bad is..i look like Shrek on the uniform...hahahahahaha! (my 8 year old son said that )

bnorman,

My dad had back to back heart attacks Christmas day 1995 so I realize how lucky I am that he is still around. I called him that night, talked about the Sopranos, and told him I loved him. I never take for granted any day I spend with him. You are 100% correct, all in all it IS just a car

Nick

Maybe it was gods way of saying upgrade your rear bumper to the 03+ style.... His little easter present to you.

Nick, sorry to hear bud, but life is only as good as one perceives it.
You didn't get hit by a bus. You didn't have a heart attack. A piano didn't land on your head. You weren't diagnosed with bone cancer. You weren't born in Somalia. You catch my drift... What is it that makes us expect to just cruise through 8-9 decades of life blissfully and trouble-free?

Coming from someone dealing with randomness for a living, people keep underestimating the randomness of the world around them, even the randomness inherent to our own selves. It's so human to think that we're in control. Millions of muscles, cells, molecules, atoms, being at the right time and the right place so that we wake up every morning expecting things to be the way we want them to be. If we all lowered our expectations to better reflect reality, perhaps we wouldn't be so bugged when crap happens to us. And crap always happens, but we have the choice on how much we allow it to affect us. Just IMO.

What makes this so funny to me is I imagine you hunched over in front of the monitor, mouse in your right hand, cracker in the left... and you're still wearing your Roman Soldier costume.

Typical, right Nick! Like the time a few weeks ago, I had my car detailed, they locked the keys in it and now I found out that they burnt my deck lid with the buffer and knocked the tip of the B off and tried to glue it back and touch up the lid. Luckily I am in the body business and next week I am having the deck lid repaired as well as the front bumper painted.... free of course.

When I was single, I remember going to Atlantic City and walking out some nights saying to myself " I just lost a 911 payment... what the hell am i doing?". All that it takes is one nice win to keep you coming back!

The bumper is no big deal to fix! It may be a good time to have the bumperettes painted. I did mine last week and they look awesome.

Good luck!
