    F-ing Tinder

    WOW, that literally sounds like hell on earth. Surprisingly I have a new Tinder story. Received a text from "ashley T" (my moniker for distinguishing who I met on tinder was just put a T on their name). She was basically looking to hook up. Now i was trying to be nice but i have no fucking idea who this girl is, what she looks like, fucking nothing. Add to the fact I haven't been on tinder in over two years. Apparently I made such an impression she held onto my number in case things didn't work out with her bf... which they didn't I guess. I politely informed her I wasn't available and she said text her if it didn't work out. I feel like I'm officially retired?
  2. Can you realistically afford the payment while saving for the future? (obviously yes, but this is what i ask myself when I'm car shopping) And, is it really what you want or, if you're being honest with yourself, would it be an impulse purchase after the "new factor" has worn off? This is what I ask myself when I'm car/truck shopping and have thankfully avoided making some mistakes that I would've regretted later. But if you earned it and you want it, go for it. It's a lease so its not like you will be stuck forever.
  3. Solid advice fellas. I'll keep it in mind.
  4. Ran into a guy who had one of these as his wedding ring b/c he never had to take it off when he played goalie (soccer). seemed like an interesting idea really but I don't think my gf would wear one. Thanks for the advice everyone, Bluenile.com seems interesting after looking around a bit. I have a budget of $3000 now and I would avoid having to finance anything (which is my goal). Though I need to account for the wedding band itself also, so I may raise that. I hadn't thought of going to a broker before, maybe because I assumed it would be more expensive than a traditional jewelry store. But that's something I'll keep in mind. The one thing I do have is plenty of time. There's no rush to making a lifelong commitment.
  5. Thank you for the female perspective, I should point out that she isn't a "jewelry girl" as in she never wear's gaudy, expensive or even flashy jewelry. I think she's had the same necklace since we've been dating. She has a drawer full of stuff that she basically only wear's to weddings and special occasions but none of it is particularly expensive. And I should clarify, I'm not buying a ring or contemplating engagement to impress her family. Though they may be wealthy they don't act like it and are very humble people, which is another huge plus for me considering I'll be part of their family. I think the pressure that I mentioned was more of something I put on myself than any indication I've ever gotten from her family.
  6. Seriously... where the fuck do I start? Normally I wouldn't ask CR an important question but I can't exactly ask any of my male or female family member's because they will fucking flip (in a good way). And my GF and I have a lot of mutual friends so I'm not trying to start any rumors or anything of the sort. My time frame is about a year, maybe year and a half away but I figured I would really like to know what I should be looking for and where I should be looking for it when the time comes to purchase. I've already started saving money towards the goal of paying for it or at least putting a large down payment on it. The few people I have talked to about it, the advice is all over the place. I have a general idea of the style she likes and when the time comes I will take her sister shopping with me just to reaffirm that my purchase "looks" good. What else should I be considering? Insurance? the band itself? warranty work? what price points get what kind of ring? 2k, 5k, 7k etc... She's not a gaudy jewelry type of girl but her family is fairly wealthy so I don't really want to come weak with the ring and give the wrong impression. I also don't want to purchase something that is unrealistic to wear all the time, or that simply doesn't fit her personality. TL;DR .... Seriously... where the fuck do I start?

    Verizon

    I'm actually right there with you, I have 8 gigs with verizon and I thought it was overkill. I use to have the unlimited plan via verizon for years and put off purchasing a new phone because I thought they would make me "upgrade".
  8. Tempting, not sure I'm ready to drop $150 on preseason though. Sean, do you know if this is "split squad" game or full roster game? For anyone going, despite being a preseason game it will be packed for sure.
  9. This is really cool, i had no idea units like this even existed. I've been thinking about getting an aftermarket head unit in my truck but didn't think it would look that good. Wonder if they would charge a phone even when the car is off? That's the ONLY thing i miss about my old car.
  10. Looking for Oct 29th game against Northwestern. A or B deck preferred. Definitely need two, might be interested in up to four. email rse7en@yahoo.com , thanks.
  11. Whenever I'm in Nashville I usually hit up Martin's. I'll get a huge sampler plate, eat half and save the rest for drunk ryan later that night. That being said, I work part time for Hoggy's in Cbus. Our BBQ is mustard based and personally I'm not a fan of mustard at all but I do enjoy our BBQ. I have made my own BBW sauce at home with a recipe and using Sweet Baby Rays as a base and it was killer, a bit tangy but not hot (not a fan of hot) and tasted nothing like sweet baby rays (which isn't bad necessarily).
  12. I work evenings, so I go around noon everyday. The crowd is hit and miss. Sometimes you get soccer mom's who get in the way (ie, use dumbbells RIGHT in front of the rack! so annoying), but most of the times you get people who are on lunch, they get right to it, mind themselves and are for the most part courteous of others. I'll do weights before work but usually not cardio or running. Though all negatives listed could be because its a PF, but i knew that when I signed up.
  13. My first draft ever, i took atlanta's TE Gonzolez, bears defense, and Tom Brady and won the league, my team was basically those three players the entire year lol
  14. Eh, in all the mock drafts I've done (which are nationwide) he's still going high, he's a talented first round pick behind a great offensive line, personally i don't know if I would use a first round pick on him though. Depends on my draft position.
  15. FINALLY, its that time of year again. Who's playing? how many leagues are you in? Any 'must haves' or "deep sleeper picks'? asking for a friend...
  16. My last apartment complex actually REQUIRED all new residents to carry their own renters coverage. I added it to my current auto coverage for like 12$ a month or something. It had been something I wanted anyway after my sister's place was robbed in Dublin a few years ago. The insurance agent said, "well how much coverage do you want?" "how much do you have?" "well the lowest one is $25k, do all of your belongings equal more than $25k?" "HAHAHAH" "25k it is..."
  17. So cool, I've always wanted to get into pistol and 3 gun matches. I always told myself it'll be my next hobby after hockey but like other people, time is limited. Curious how did you find out about this match? When I looked for USPCA stuff online I found nothing, I guess I just wasn't looking hard enough.
  18. Exactly, he's putting food in a container that was made and placed out there for a reason. And the container is empty prior to putting food in it. That bitch is alive she's just running away from that creepy Mike kid so she doesn't have to go to his school dance. BTW, the toothless kid, Dustin, was probably one of the funniest TV kids I've ever seen. kid said some off the wall shit but was hilarious.
  19. Just finished this last night, we started just watching one then ended up watching the rest of the season and staying up until 3. some questions were left: -So does Eleven exists in the upside down? Hopper leaving the food and Eggo's in the food box in the woods suggests she is still alive in some way. -Assuming Hopper was taken by the "bad men" for a debrief, considering he's still alive maybe they wanted to know why all of their scientist and MP's were dead? -In my personal opinion I think the blonde scientist/DR makes a comeback in the second season. You never see him eat it, he just kinda disappears. -So assuming Will is having some lasting affects from being "inseminated" by the demogorgen in the upsides down? coughing up that slug and having flashbacks. Curious as to what that's all about. Great show, can't wait for season two.
  20. Started watching this a few nights ago... watched four episodes in one night then had to make myself go to bed. great show.
  21. There should be a disclaimer next to everyone's political observations for the next 4 months, "Just b/c what I'm about to say might criticize and attempt to discredit one candidate doesn't mean I'm advocating for the opposing candidate either, just so we all know ok?"
  22. Vice news did a special on the Hillary email-gate a few months ago. They were actually the news outlet who submitted the FOIA paperwork to attain as much info about ALL of the emails as possible. The lead reporter made a really important observation in that it's not so much exactly what Hillary and her cabinet did wrong, its the fact that at every opportunity they felt no need to explain themselves or their actions to anyone. That Secretary of State Clinton was, in so many words, above the law and all reproach. I thought this was a very interesting observation as you can see it in the way Hillary has acted in the past. Remember when Wild Bill put her in charge of reforming healthcare in the 90's? She demanded complete secrecy and when her plan came out it was unanimously criticized and rejected by EVERYONE! Lets not forget her role in Watergate, travelgate, Vince Fosters death, using the Clinton foundation as a backdoor to accepting "donations" from foreign governments, dictators, special interest groups, towards her presidential campaigns. Basically using her position as secretary of state to shake down other nations and line her own pockets. There was a decent video explaining a lot of her scandals over the years. Another that is literally just her lying for 15 minutes, and not just hearsay but video of her saying one thing on one date and another on another date. EDIT: Forgot to make this point. Hillary has never been convicted of anything. But it always seems like there's a lot of smoke around her. She's always somewhat liable for something then miraculously she gets off and pretends she never did anything wrong in the first place.
  23. that sounds like a lot of fun but... I can't imagine the costs involved?
  24. I grew up in Durbington area (Dublin/worthington) and it was great. What brian said is true, north of 70 and outside the outerbelt and you're good. Probably the only exception is UA, Grandview, Bexley but you said north Cbus. Dublin schools are great but with that comes insane taxes, same with Powell. Westerville is a good compromise. Ideally you'd like to find a home with Cbus taxes and Dublin/worthington/westerville schools.
  25. This thing looks badass. Love the Toyota decal on the tailgate too... http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/toyota-tacoma-back-to-the-future/ Unfortunately I don't think they are mass producing this model. Just a one off for promotional purposes.
