I kick myself everytime I think about it. Years ago I am pretty sure I had the opportunity to have a threesome, but was too dumb/nieve/young to see it. Now that I look back I can obviously see the signs were there. Oh well I guess :/

Hahaha that would be interesting. Don't care that I can't get one now, so yeah.

Bought 15x10 and 15x8 Weld Pro Stars off an old member here. Got them for $300 and with tires that I don't care for.

the DD just got backed into by my neighbor. She actually knocked on my door which gives me a little more faith in humanity. $20 turn signal and it'll be just the way it was...banged up and a piece of **** lol. Is it sad that, in a small way, I kinda would rather her hit the bumper of my z06 so I can get it repainted? It's got tons of rock chips lol

Feeling kind of stuck today. The wife wants to move back to PA because of not having family here other than my dad and the cost of living here is so expensive. It's weird because when we came here it looked like an opportunity to make more money and actually it's the opposite. I got offered a chance to go back about six months ago and passed on it, because I do like it here and with my daughter's medical issues it is nice being so close to AI Dupont Children's Hospital.

Since then my boss that offered me the transfer has been fired and the new boss says no way on a transfer because this area needs more help. Then to top it off I had the worst month of sales in my career. I made more in my first month starting with the company 4 years ago than today. Now the wife is pretty much dead set on leaving because of struggling.

Kind of feel stuck because if I just say f it and go back, I go back with no job. I can stay here and stay with my dad, but that sucks because the wife in kids will be four hours away and I will only be able to see them every other weekend. I wouldn't get home until late Friday and then have to turn around and leave Sunday afternoon. The odds of finding a job up in that part of PA is pretty slim too, so it's not even like it would be temporary. I hate to say it but I kind of feel screwed. Anyone ever in a similar situation?

It really sounds like your wife is putting her personal wants in front of your daughters health concerns.

With the health concerns even if she goes back to PA, Pittsburgh Children's Hospital is only an hour or so away. That is where she was seen when we lived there two years ago. It's more of a money issue and being homesick is what it sounds to me. I made more money and our cost of rent was less than half of what it is here. Just frustrated because I feel stuck.

I feel like I'm always a downer here but oh well, there aren't a lot of people around here to read it.

Sitting at work watching a young man take final breaths after ODing on oxy, had a stroke, family withdrew care and here he sits. Spo2 of 11, hr of 160, rr 14.

Life is fragile, cold, and lonely gentleman. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you every chance you get.

any reason as to why you need to move back out to the Pittsburgh area? if you move outside of philly, Dupont is still not that far away plus there are a ton of good hospitals in philly as well. seems like a win/win, she gets back in Pa and you can still focus on your daughters medical.

A lot of it has to do with cost of living and family. I basically took a pay cut, but in reality moving here was suppose to be more opportunity. I got transferred with my job and this area had high expectations because there was never any sales reps worth a damn, but in reality we have a plant that wasn't built out right and unhappy customers due to service issues, which in return has made my sales volume go down.

Her thinking is if she goes back then we pay lower rent and when a position opens up I could always transfer back and make more money than I am making here. In the meantime we save close to a grand a month. Now there are a lot of things she likes here, but in the end living comfortable financially is a big thing and having family around is a big thing. Both areas have pros and cons. I honestly do not want to go back, because I believe I can find a better career here, I really like the school district, and I like AI. Now I am kind of partial because my dad is here, my mom lives in Virginia, and I am not close to my family that lives in PA other than two uncles and my grandfather. I just more less wanted to see if anyone here was ever in a similar situation and how they handled it. I just don't want to jeopardize my marriage over this, because I have a feeling if she goes back and I only see them every other weekend things will go south. Not only that, I am missing a lot of valuable time with my kids. We did it for 6 months when I transferred here and it was rough for sure.
