Then that sucks, man. I would find another seller (if possible). Or maybe life happened and he will get back to you when he can.

I like Ian McKellen. He's a great actor. A legend.

His Instagram posts have been showing up on my feed the last couple of days. I don't want this. It's a thing that I don't want. I don't follow him, not because I'm not a fan, I just don't follow him, never have. WTF Instagram? The new formula was bad enough, now I just get random posts??!!

Does it say Sponsored on his post? Could be that it's an ad

I confess that I don't understand what this means and I don't want to know. If it's about feet hygiene no doubt it's something disgusting. Even as a kid, I could never 'rent' skates or bowling shoes. That's so gross.

As young as 9-10 years old, I had one mold to make decorative wall plaques. I bought boxes of plaster-of-paris from the local hardware to mix-up and make them. I'd hand-paint them to sell to neighbors for money to buy my own skates.

Just an old story, not mine to tell..

When someone tells you you're a bad friend because you haven't seen them in a while. Luls

I think that argument may only be valid in high school, not when you're 30 years old and working a full-time job + on call most weekends 2 states away. If you can't pick up with someone (even a very close friend) where you left off despite life circumstances, you should probably not have friends to begin with.

Yep. Proof its more about their ego and needs than the actual friendship.

I go years without seeing some friends. And there is zero expectation on either side with real life taking up so much time. We fall back into the rapport immediately and would help each other out in a sec without needing any constant massaging of relationship over the years.

Exactly - well said. There really is something special about picking up with friends after months/years. My fiancee and I just met up with one of my closest college friends and his wife (had been about 2.5 years since I've seen them) and had a wonderful time. Like you said, it doesn't take long at all to catch up at all and a bond of friendship is always there.

This. Most of my friends are all over the country (or world in some cases) and it's literally years between seeing some of them. Never miss a beat when we do get fortunate enough to spend time together though.

Commercials that start with “if you were affected by hurricane Harvey”. And then proceed to tell you how the car dealer, home builder, lawyer is there to help, followed by their normal commercial. Help would be doing probono insurance claims, help would be half off all used cars on the lot, help would be getting into the hardest hit areas and start picking up the fudge lining the streets. I am glad you are willing to extend employee pricing to those affected, but don’t build it up to be some huge thing on your part, as you do the same thing 2 or 3 times a year even without a natural disaster.
