So I think I screwed up major, but not really

If not falling in love is rule number one, I’ve broken it time and time again. For me, cars and dogs fill up the void that most people fill up with kids. Nothing wrong with kids, they’re just not for me. Looking forward to pics. It’s possible to daily it after you work the kinks out. My daily turns 34 in November, and it’s been more reliable than I could have ever hoped for. What year is yours? ‘82 was the last year for the RWD K5.
My daily turns 41 in may...

That's great. 4x4's are rare enough but the 2wd's are even much harder to find. You scored for sure.

Ohh and we don't have Kool-Aid here.

Not to derail but I just have to say...
The only problem with kids is there is a mother attached.

I just don't like them, and I don't think they like me either, which is fair. Most of them are loud, expensive, smelly, and so impressionable that even if I had one of the good ones, there are a lot of negative influences in society that could harm them, and its unrealistic for me to think that I could provide insulation from even most of that. I will say that my parents were never married, and my dad was the one who raised me. I care about my mom because she's my mom, but my dad and I had a bond that went much further than that, and not only am I tough and street smart for having been brought up that way, but I also don't mind doing the work of a couple at the payoff of having my independence.

And to clarify, I think it's great that other people are having them, but it's just not my cup of coffee. My dad was 64 years older than me, which is three, almost four, generations different. I am very out of touch with many people my age, and any kid I had would inherit that in these scary times we live in. I like who I am, but the gap really makes it tough to communicate with the people you deal and work with on a daily basis.

Talk nice, and always say 'please' and thank you' for months on end. To no avail.
But say motherfuker one time . . .
