So true. We tend to take everything personally, and this being a car forum, most of us are egoistic arses, so of course the blowout is coming. None of us could ever be wrong, and our view is the only one.

Gotta love testosterone, it just makes this so much fun!

Hey now, I take my nolife periods seriously! And the stupid time difference thing keeps me from sleeping. I swear, as soon as my ankle starts working even a little, you will never see me again.

Still, I would love if that stat could be removed.

Well, in my hurry to get away from the visiting relatives that start arriving at the same time this car, my hornet is going to clock the miles that I now have time to spend on this forum. The southern westcoast calls, since I have understood reading this thread that the landscape gets better there.



See, last minute save from the threaded OT.

Well you can see the result of that. Posts were deleted, some members were banned. And let's face it I know I am not the most well liked guy around here so there are few choice folks who decide to take cheap shots at me whenever they can.

What r u gonna do? I just laugh it off. Maybe Lups can give me a hug

My arms are open for you. I like opinions, taking thing more personal I try and fail to do all the time. I have no idea why I'm not in the ban list, since the only on topic post I have written on this forum was finished just for me to find that the whole thread was killed.

This is supposed to be fun. Why not laugh at each other, and to yourselves. It's all good, as long as my standards are met.

Don't worry, even I haven't come up with any yet, apparently hopelessness is my guideline to follow.

Oh, it does. That's where I'm originally from. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

I'm still waiting for someone to list careers that forbid tattoos of any kind, which is what got us all here in the first place.

Well, let's see. My ex is a doctor, and yes, tattooed, my husband is an engineer, tattooed, my really former ex now runs a company (which he did own till recently) and he is tattooed.

My tire dealer doesn't have one, could that be the reason he did get the job?

It's like business, location and message. Idiot tattooed on the forehead never helps in any area of life. otherwise they really do not matter.

I come from the land of sauna, so bosses do get to see the ink in occasion.

Reading that list makes me want to add, that no, they were not picked due to the ink, I just really prefer smart people over drooling trolls.

I don't think Chick Fil A allows them, at least not when I was working there last summer. Maybe they've changed the policy.

Is there an officer in (couldn't spell the right word, it's too early) church that checks their bodies on a regular bases? Damn, this country is full of odd jobs for me apparently, naked offices, body art inspectors and so on. I'm finally getting why people live here!

My wife is a day shift nurse and has one on her back right above her shoulder blade. Not sure what the hospitals policy is, but she's always wearing scrubs so it never shows anyway. As a nurse she did say how surprised she was at how many patients have tattoos.

So does that mean nurses can show their tattoos at night? Has a very naughty ring to it lol. Is this rule for all nurses in general across the world? As a matter of fact, I've seen quite a few nurses with tats. They're all over the place, search youporn if you don't believe me.

I have been in the medical field for over a decade and have met numerous professionals with tats. That said, they've all been tasteful, inoffensive and mostly subtle.

That's a lame excuse, I have a full sleeve and 3/4 of another. I have a career, managed/developed sales teams for fortune 500 companies. You just have to know how to draw the line, no neck or hand tattoos, everything else is covered up by a suit.

Don't post things like this, I'm fantasizing about the naked offices you guys seem to have here! Don't ruin this for me, I'm already applying for a green card!
