Well....after more than FIVE weeks....I have my van back, and fixed.

It set me back over $1700 to get the tranny replaced and a couple of leaking hoses near it too.

But it is fixed now. Running VERY well. Now, I can stop driving the old car, that has no drivers window or mirror, get the paperwork filled out, and send it in to get my insurance money for the accident.

I went to see "Pursuit of Happyness" W/Will Smith tonight. . I HIGHLY recommend it!! CLEAN, and Quite touching!!

Was this wrong of me, or out of place??

One of my coworkers at my second job is a 25 YO kid. He is a road tech, who probably will become a good electronics technician in the near future. I get along with him pretty well, although he does make fun of me for my morals and my decision regarding my social life.

Anyhoo, Friday afternoon, he was saying"I'm gonna' go out tonight and get slammed", referring to going to a bar and getting drunk, and such. Then, he started talking about "Finding a whore for the weekend", and asked Chuck if he knew where some girl was.

I just responded with "Did you ever think of going out and doing something other than getting drunk and getting bedded down for the night? After all, don't you think it it time to start growing up?"

He responded with the usual jokes about me and such. I responded with "Well, hopefully you will grow up sometime. Everyone has to. Maybe then you will want a girl for more than just a night or two, and instead as a friend and companion, for something lasting."

Chuck then told him to "go out and have fun now, while he can". I just repeated my line about "growing up sometime". He responded "maybe someday, but not tonight", and left to go out to a bar and probably more.

Was I out of place in suggesting what I did??
