Wapsi Square Forum

Did something happen to Paul, or is he just dealing with major burnout and/or life issues? I haven't heard/read anything.

I'm almost in the clear. I think, given another month, I'll be back on my feet, financially speaking. I've been borrowing my brother's truck, and he lent me some gas money, as I'm almost broke thanks to the rent. I may need his help again in the near future, as I have to pay the (late) electric bill...

"Protect," my ass. This situation put me in a pretty tough spot. Because I had taken my vacation the week before my.wreck, I was out of time off and had to put in for a leave of absence, which is unpaid. And unfortunately, the minimum amount of time I can take for that is 15 days. Money is...

I was on my way home from work, and right after I got gas and food, I had turned to take a road I normally always take. There is a hill maybe a quarter mile from the intersection, and you can't see anything past the hill until you're on the top of it. Right when I crested the hill, all of this happe...

No, she's got a round poster pinched between her cheeks.

Looking at the corkboard with polaroids and string all held on with push pins, one might guess he's working towards a series of Wapsi pin-up calendars. It's a perfectly logical conclusion.

(I'm joking, but it would be pretty crazy if that actually winds up happening.)

As things turned out, my brother's father in law backed down, and my brother and his family won't be moving in with me after all, which means no help with housework or bills. So it looks like I'll have to win the lottery if I want to breathe easy, because it'd take an act of God for me to get married.

I wonder if the comic itself is dead. All we seem to get now are animated shorts and announcements of pin-ups for sale.

Yeah, so am I. On an unrelated note, my brother, along with his wife, kids, and pets (four cats and a puppy) will be moving in with me, instead of the house next to my sister-in-law's parents (which her parents own). This is due to some drama with her parents, but the good news is that these means I...

As it turns out... the reason the account now says $0.00 is because it rolled over into a new account. So there was no identity theft at all. They just didn't tell me it was, or perhaps whatever they sent me that said so became "white noise" and I couldn't tell what it was. So now instead ...

Yeah... It happened in December, and my mom and her boyfriend were at my house from the 15th to the 26th. If either of them did that... I really don't want to dwell on how I might respond.

Well, it looks like I have to contact the company that had my 401k from when I worked for Kohler. The account had about $9k in it, and I just got something in the mail saying it's empty, and there was a line for debit/distributions for the entire amount. This definitely sounds like someone committed...

Given that my dad was a sergeant and passed away at 60, perhaps we should call you "The Older Sgt" instead? That widowmaker artery you mentioned? That was one that almost got him when he got hospitalized for a heartattack the first time... which apparently was not actually his first. It ha...

Great Bull of Heaven? Sounds like it'd make for some helluva good steaks.

"Page not found." Yeah, I'd say someone screwed up.

I managed to fix the dryer on Wednesday. I should have pulled up the video on my phone, because all the walking back and fourth made it take more than an hour to replace the thermostat. I'm going to have to go back and adjust the belt's position, though, because it's making a bit more noise than it ...

Well, I'm certainly having to get my hands dirty now. My dryer stopped heating a couple weeks ago, requiring multiple cycles of the air dry setting and hanging things in random places because I have no clothesline at the moment. I could quickly improvise an indoor line, though I ordered a replacemen...

I don't recall Bud being a nurse before... I guess she's taking on a different career for a little while?

The problem is that it's one if those Nissan CVTs, where you can't just check the fluid like you can with oil. However, your explanation certainly seems to lend more weight to my suspicions. I don't know when dad last had something done with the transmission, but was thinking it needed a drain and f...
