[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;1174627]Damn! Nice, congrats all.

I have a really fucked up story that could have easily started off in The Bad News Thread, but deserves to be in here now.

The tl;dr of it is, a few months ago, the police came and took my stepdad for questioning. The problem? My nine year old nephew accused him of sexual assault. My brother died almost eight years ago in a car accident, so the mother moved away. Went fucking insane.

Has taken a huge toll on the family after numerous hearings, etc. Also brought a lot of questions from my dad's side asking, "Did he do anything to you while you were a kid?" The answer is a resounding FUCK NO, not once. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, no charges will be brought if they agreed to no contact. It's bittersweet, but I can see the stress out of my stepdad's face now.

Will post the long version when I get some time, but basically one really fucked up person (the mother) hurt a LOT of people in our family just trying to stop visitation.[/quote]
TMC , sorry to hear that but glad that it seems to be working out ,make sure the 9 year old nephew gets the help he needs.

[QUOTE=CRedskinsRule;1171807]Mixed bag but end of the day good news:

Got a call at 8am from my 17yo daughter -
Dad the police are here and you gotta come home now.

Me. What happened i ask (as i feel like an impending heart attackis in progress )

Daughter - a car drove through our fence and is in our yard.

From that start: my dog got out and so i spent a day back and forth searching on a code red heat day for a dog that struggles on 80 degree days.

At 4 went into work and at 530 the good news that she was found. She is hurt but alive and we have her back so bottom line this makes it into the good news section.

And congrats mooby, malcolm, C-red, and OTM. I hit a solid 250 yarder on the course the other day. Straight down the middle of the fairway. It was an outing we do every year for our friend who was murdered. So we were playing best ball. It was the only drive of mine we used all day [emoji19]
But it was a beauty [emoji44]

“Why 2017 Was the Best Year in Human History”

Really good article here. While majority of the media constantly focuses on a negative shit and even bullshit these days, progress goes unnoticed it seems.

Good read, no argument here, provided the stats are accurate of course.

I will agree. I just want to know if the article includes Puerto Rico?

Why would extreme poverty stats from Puerto Rico be excluded?

Jesus Christ, where were all these crying babies about Puerto Rico when its politicians were corrupt, stealin money from its own people and sending that country into an economic mess? Christ, does anybody understand this? Why don't you hold these political leaders of Puerto Rico accountable?

So I got promoted, I'm now a P2 which is basically a counterman with additional responsibilities. Small raise which is always nice. Big thing is I have to switch to day shift from 530am to 2, which will be an adjustment at first, but I'll do it. I'm thinking about good wake-me-up meals because I don't drink coffee or soda. If anybody has suggestions I'm all ears, my current breakfast typically consists of a cup of a yogurt at 10 or 11 am lol.
