Serious suggestion: Take a break from this and any other online activity and just take some me time this weekend to sort your thoughts out. A couple days free from annoyance and distraction will do wonders for your clarity of thought.

I'm taking my boy to the State Fair this weekend, it should be a fun time as he's never been and he's excited to see all the animals.

When did 'Muricans get so wussified they couldn't pitch horseshoes any longer? If a kid gets brained walking in front of a horseshoe pit, that's a lesson learned.

Horseshoes can be difficult for some females to play. Cornhole is easier since you're just throwing bean bags instead of a 5 pound shoe. So it becomes a better drinking/picnic game due to higher involvement.

Good luck, bro. Just take care of yourself and dont let the stress get to you. I have 2 buddies that went through divorce and it was devastating for both of them, health and stress wise.

Bros how do you have sex with a baby sleeping in the same room? Do you just hope for the best? Can they remember?

I am appalled by this question.

I'm with you brutul. Noodle, if you fear you can't resist that baby just because it's in the same room, I hope you will remove yourself from the situation completely. I don't mean sleep in another room, I mean sleep in another house where there are no babies to tempt you.

Man I love me some Horseshoes too. I grew watching my dad play with his friend sin our back yard and then when I was old enough to throw with control I would play teams with him. Good times and good memories.

What sucks is that by the time I was old enough to be able to rock the old lawn darts, they stopped making them because they were too dangerous.

Serious question: are you sure thats where she's going?

Yes. I drop her off and we both sign off on paperwork. Technically she could leave but I'd know about it when I see the logs that record her going in and out when I pick her up.

Tarrant: could you describe your ruse master technique for hiding a car purchase from your wife? I'm intrigued by how that is done.

EDIT: for example, how do you physically hide it? How do you explain going to places that require a car when you allegedly have none? How did you cover the paper trail, like registration paperwork, dealer mailings, all the shitty extended warranty spam that gets mailed when you get a car? I assume it is on your credit and you have to buy gas for it, does she never pay attention to finances? Etc. Seems like that would be an epic pain in the ass.

Of course, all of this assumes a spouse that actually pays a little bit of attention to finances, the mail, and reality. If she is in her own little world and doesn't give a shit, I guess it is easy.

how do you physically hide it?-- There are 50 other cars in my parking lot.

How do you explain going to places that require a car when you allegedly have none?--We weren't talking, if she wanted to know how I got places she wasn't going to ask. She thought I was taking the bus to work though.

How did you cover the paper trail like registration paperwork, dealer mailings, all the shitty extended warranty spam that gets mailed when you get a car? --Paperwork was done on site, what paperwork did you get sent to you when BUYING a car? It's been less than two weeks, I haven't got anything from them yet in terms of spamy mail. Anyway, I have the only mailbox key, she lost hers a few years ago and we never bothered getting another made.

I assume it is on your credit and you have to buy gas for it, does she never pay attention to finances?--I haven't had to fill it out of pocket yet. It came with a full tank, a free fill up and first 3 oil changes free.

Of course, all of this assumes a spouse that actually pays a little bit of attention to finances, the mail, and reality. If she is in her own little world and doesn't give a shit, I guess it is easy.

She's mentally ill and spends all her time in the bedroom when not at work. That's her world, so yes, it hasn't been a hassle. She knows about it now though, she didn't have much of a reaction to it other than asking why I bought it. I just looked at her and she said "oh". She said it was nice and that's been pretty much it.

Fair enough. I always assumed you were in a house since you talked about separate bedrooms for you and your wife, you have a kid, you have kids from your divorce that visit, I thought you mentioned an office for your computer and gaming gear, etc. Just sounded like way too much room for an apartment. Probably a misunderstanding.

As far as paperwork, I suppose it varies state to state. Off-hand, I remember getting a thank you letter from the dealership, my license plates mailed to me when they were ready, and information about service/extended warranty from the dealer and a bunch of random scammy looking places. And a monthly bill for the car within a month or two. I see you are no longer hiding it, so moot point.

I was just going to suggest you let her know about it before a random clue tips her off and she potentially flips out. But you already told her and she didn't care, so bonus!

EDIT: I was also under the impression you wanted to hide it long term. Doesn't sound like that was the case.

We have a 3 bedroom condo. Any mentions of an office were my actual office at work. The 3rd bedroom is pretty small, my daughter gets that room and my oldest son and my youngest share a room. My computer is in the living room.

I haven't got a thank you letter, my plates should be in early next week, I'll probably just swing by and get them. I haven't had the car long enough to start getting mailers from them yet.
