Finding a wife

It may be one of those things that you don't appreciate until you've had both and can compare.

I spent ~6 years completely single, then in 2022 had a life-changing accident and realized how much I was missing out on. I did a lot of cool stuff, sure, motorcycles, ski trips, hunting, fishing, camping, but I did all of it solo. Well, not truly solo, I had a great dog by my side.

Then while recovering from my accident, my pup went to point with Jesus in 2023. And now I work, come home alone, eat alone, commute alone, do hobbies --those that I still can-- alone, and am generally always by myself.

I can't get a cat or dog because I'm gone 12 to 15 hours a day for work, so that's just not fair, especially since I like high energy dogs.

It just sucks not having anyone to talk about the day with, cook for, relax with or be excited with.
I hope your disability from your accident isn't too severe. Forgive me if it sounds like I'm talking down to you or insulting your intelligence. That's not my goal and I'm not any smarter than anyone else on this forum.

I just want to pass on what I've learned from my experiences and mistakes.

You say "It just sucks not having anyone to talk about the day with, cook for, relax with or be excited with."

That is, no doubt, true but let me tell what's worse.

That's being trapped with a woman that won't talk with you, cook for you, relax or be excited with you. They are just a roommate that you are expected to support. They won't provide anything in return.

Notice that it's not an issue of whether they can't but they won't. Even worse than the silent treatment is living with a nagging, bitchy woman.

"It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife."
-Proverbs 21:9

"It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman."
-Proverbs 21:19

That roommate that you could be trapped with will expect you to make her happy. When she says "jump" you are expected to ask her how high.

When she says S*&t, you are expected to ask her how much and what color.

She will demand her pound of flesh from you and more - or else.

What is the "or else?" That's the wise old judge who will be deciding that when she thinks that she can do better.

It sounds like you might be having a rough time, working with your disability. If that's the case, expect NO sympathy or help from your lovely bride. She will heap more demands on you like a garbage truck at a landfill. If you don't fulfill her ever increasing expectations and chase her moving goal posts, she will look for something better after taking everything you own in divorce court.

This is a long way of saying that things can be worse. That may sound little very little comfort for you.

There are lots of men that feel the same way you do. At times, I have brief moments of melancholy but am snapped back to reality when I recall the horrors of living with evil cunts. Then I am thankful for what I have and not for what I don't have.

Things could be worse for you.

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

I'm not sure if you have any IMR 8208 on hand, but that powder with Berger 73's is the best shooting combo I've ever tried on both of my primary 5.56 AR's.

Ive got a bunch, just haven't had a chance to conduct Load Development with the 73's

The President has POWERS, not rights in this context. 99% of Americans don't know the difference, but individual and collective liberty rests on the difference between rights and powers.

In this case, the press is either too stupid to know the difference, or knows and willingly deceives the masses. Probably the latter, which fits the "Orange Man Bad" narrative more better.

Title should be......
Supreme court UPHOLDS president's right to revoke 500k foreigners of status....
NOT
supreme court lets.....
How about, Supreme court upholds President's CONSTITUTIONAL powers
instead, we get fed, this line of bull shit
Supreme court lets Trump strip 500,00 migrants of legal status

Many around here who took the jab now showing same.

So my daughter-in-law is a raging communist, she is a social worker, she has openly complained about having to help white people more than once. She refuses to own more stuff than the absolute minimum. They live in a shitty rental house with a leaky roof and they pretend to like it. They wash and groom at the league minimum and enjoy wearing dirty clothes like good communists.

They forced the vax on their then 4 year old son. He is now seven years old, he was in the hospital today getting an EKG and with heart problems that the docs said, " they hoped he might grow out of them".

The kid is normal. He asks grandmom if she will wash his clothes when he gets to our home. He calls our house a mansion and talks on and on about how much he loves it here. He loves the mowed yard, not covered in chicken and dog shit.

Not one healthy person under 40 died of covid unless they had the vaccine. My mother-in-law had full blown dementia and was nearly 90 years old, could not drive and had no fucking idea what day it was. Somehow democrat central contracted her, she took the car keys and drove off while her husband was taking a shit, disappeared for two hours and came back with a vax card and her first shot. She had no idea where she went or who gave her the shot, she just knew that commie HQ had told her to get a shot. She spend 60 years voting the opposite of her husband and making him miserable. She never got the second shot and lamented it until she passed away.
Prayers for your grandson and the whole situation.

2008- Baltimore. The first time cell video was used to fire public employee

Literally everything you post is bashing cops.

Its a good distraction from all the blue line snorting, cop cock gobbling that goes on seemingly everywhere. The general population has blinders on to all the corruption that goes on from people who are supposed to "protect and serve"...

Ok Red Sea Pedestrians, here’s your chance!

Wait, so now she’s “Swedish”? Great! They can have her!

Picking a first PRS two day match

If you were shooting your first two day match which would you choose… war rifles shootout or sheepdog showdown? Both are about the same distance from me to travel to and both have solid reputation for being a good time, the showdown “qualifier” match and the shootout standard two day.

I haven’t actually shot a full match season in a while, so I’m not expecting to set the world on fire and running a 223 for tac division definitely put me at a disadvantage but it’s all about having fun right. I have other caliber options but I don’t really want to switch up stuff and end up screwing my self up one way or another.
