That's right, Sarah - you can't say you're old unless you're talking to someone 20 years younger than you are.

You can't say you're old if you never act your age either - it's more fun

Nothing wrong with being old as long as you're the only one who knows.

It is a huge task. You have to take the front fascia off, take the lights out, break them apart by baking them in the oven then pry them apart with a screwdriver. Once you have the new lights in place you have to silicone them back together and wire them into the harness. My guy did the lights, it was his anniversary gift to me. I took out the grills and bezels and ran the paint project. Putting it all back together was easier than taking it apart.

I have been super-supportive of my on/off guy of 6 years. Especially when it comes to his toys. He buys RC cars and planes, actual cars and trucks, you name it. Stuff adds up, but it's what he likes. OK.

He judges pretty harshly anything I spend my money on. Then he refuses to spend any money on me whatsoever-- and I know that sounds awfully petty of me, but I've spent tons of money on him!-- and it just makes me want to SCREAM. He says it's stupid that I buy what I do (I try to look nice, so I do buy nice clothes and bags, but I don't go crazy). Nevermind the house I bought for us.... then had to sell when he and I split up, and took a loss on.... ANYWAY So let me get down to brass tacks.... this most recent deal; we were talking about getting a daily driver for me so I would stop tearing up Bella. He just got a big inheritance so he has plenty of money to spend and I asked him if he would help me. He said maybe.

A week later he decides to buy a race car "for us." OK, sure. I'll go along with that. We can add it to the collection of 6 vehicles he currently owns.

Well, I forgo a Camaro Club cruise to ride down the 6 hours to Dallas and help him pick it up. On the way, I convince him to stop and I pick up a new Coach bag for myself at the Coach outlet. We get the car, and start to drive back-- and I mention the daily driver ($2,500) I was looking at. He says that it's "not his fault I'm in debt" and I "already have a car so just drive it, it's only a V6 anyway"

Then he decides today to ask me what I think of this OTHER car that he wants to buy. He thinks it's a good deal-- it's gutted; trust me, it isn't a good deal-- but since we already have dirt track racecars he said this one will just get parked for the next year or two. So let's spend $2,000 on a car with no engine or transmission, then let it sit in my yard and be a weed-trap for a year and not touch it. Let's buy something completely useless in its' present form. But I can't have my $2,500 '92 Camaro daily driver beater. REALLY?!!!!!

I mean, come on. I've bought him parts for his cars. I've worked on his cars with him. I've gone to races. I've been super-supportive. But I'm coming unglued!

WHAT. THE. CRAP. I WANT TO BEAT HIM IN THE FACE! I know all men kinda suck sometimes and don't always think, but y'all gotta goos fraba me or something to calm me down before I take off one of my heels and stab him with it. I keep telling him how impractical and wasteful it is to buy a gutted out dirt track car when we already HAVE race cars, including one we are about to start racing at the dirt track weekend after next-- I told him you can't ride two horses with one ass, much less six. Am I crazy for thinking this is just too much, or for being irritated? OH I should probably add that he said the reason he asked my opinion (which he is now ignoring as he is on his way to go look at aforementioned gutted car) is because he "thinks of it as our money."

Hope my long jumbled post made sense. I needed to vent. Thank God for the ladies' lounge.

BTW, men's input welcomed too.

Kick him to the curb, life is to short and not worth that type of frustration. My wife and I both work and both make good money. Both of our checks go into one (the same) checking account. We have a budget, stick to it, and discuss all expenses outside of it. We are supportive and look out for each other. You can do better, dump him and move on.

I think the ladies here need some eye candy




Custom made by a one of a kind artist. I just gave him a picture of Cherry and the things I wanted and he made me a wearable piece of art.

Haven't seen them in person, he just posted that pic on his FB page yesterday and I was so excited to see them.

His FB page is here if anyone wants to check him out...
