  1. Yes. You just admitted you have (or at least had) $7000 in completely disposable income. You are a fortunate individual. It is particularly douchy to flaunt that in the faces of people and ask for "free" services from people who work hella hard to provide a service that saves people's lives. Think about what you just wrote next time you request or are offered something at less than full asking price. Yes I spent $7000 - I wouldn't call it disposable income, more like a solid two years of really hard work, saving and sacrifice. Assuming that I'm wealthy because I bought a new rig is a pretty douchy thing to do. I just wanted to say good for you for saving for something you really wanted instead of throwing it all on a credit card.
  2. It's a completely different organisation. Spending $50,000 and asking the dealer for a free car wash before picking up your car up would be a more accurate analogy. If they then turned round and said to you that you shouldn't expect their car wash guy to work for free, would you not be insulted? I've never heard of having to ask for a free car wash at the dealer whether it's a new car pick up or routine service. It's always included and very much appreciated by me. Even the guido tire wet is included. Always be kinder than you feel.
  3. Wow! never heard of doing that! But I did have to confirm their predetermined schedule and prepay online for the sitting and proofs or be SOL for a pic in the yearbook next year. What I don't understand is why it has to be done this week ...only 2 weeks after the end of the school year for next year's book. What if unforeseen circumstances cause him to go to a different school next year? What about kids who transfer to a new school at the beginning of the year? Also, I had to choose among several pricey "packages" including indoor, outdoor poses, etc. To be fair, however, I did finally find a (mostly hidden) choice for a standard yearbook portrait ...so, not so bad after all. This was 1985 Catholic high school style. We had them taken the end of junior year for the 1986 yearbook. It was civilian clothes and then the velvet wrap off the shoulder thing wearing your grandmother's pearls, then the cap and gown with the diploma poses. Nothing fancy, nothing full length. We did the blank check with the class ring selection day too. Always be kinder than you feel.
  4. You're going to reproduce? Oh Christ. Always be kinder than you feel.
  5. I'd never ask for that. If I can afford to shell out $7K the price of a repack isn't going to break me. It's a few skydives. Suck it up and be thankful you were able to spend the money on the gear to begin with. Just my 2 cents. Always be kinder than you feel.
  6. Good 'ole Bushwood. Always be kinder than you feel.
  7. Today we reached a high of 94F and tomorrow I think the forecast said 96F. Always be kinder than you feel.
  8. Do they still tell the parents to give the kid a blank check to bring on senior portrait day? Always be kinder than you feel.
  9. Sesame Street Always be kinder than you feel.
  10. What the hell do you think I was doing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nffDaOALewY No freaking way. Always be kinder than you feel.
  11. I'd never tell. That comes with being the current keeper of the bang thread. Always be kinder than you feel.
  12. She desperately needs a pedicure. Always be kinder than you feel.
  13. Mama-say mama-sah ma-ma-coo-sah Always be kinder than you feel.
  14. Is it a full moon? Always be kinder than you feel.
