I flipped a woman off who almost hit me in the Super One Foods parking lot this morning. So I go 0 to 100 pretty quick, pardon the reference.

Two teen boys and an overbearing mom at home.


My house doesn't function without an hour of their back and forth and me hollering for 30 seconds

It’s almost always the wife’s fault, but the crap lands on the two boys.

No. I’m too proud of being able to make mature, rational decisions.

I preach self control, but not in the way that most people approach it. Most people see self control as not exhibiting bad behavior. To me, self control is exactly what the words imply, maintaining control of your own actions (internal locus of control). When you allow outside events or people to affect you (external locus of control), you give up "self" control. That idiot that cut your off or the kid that annoys you.. is that really who you want directing your emotions?

I also have a heavy bag in the storage room / shop.

This pizzes me off that you asked that question.

I’ll see you at Sonic, pal.

As far as glove fix....soak in white vinegar if it has mildew. Scrub, rinse it let it dry....then make him use the stinky glove at practice until the smell goes away.

That's what I did to my son 10+ years ago.

To quote Hank Hill, "I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem." I'm usually chill, but throw some chick with an IQ of 80 looking at her phone doing 60mph in the left lane and I'm rabid. Oh, and people who get off an escalator and freaking STOP right there and look around to plan their next move, completely oblivious that others behind them would also like to get off the escalator. The lost temper usually stems from people who are oblivious to their surroundings.
