If it tastes good then :whocares: really.
That said I haven't been to one in years because there aren't really any in the city. A place like that wouldn't make it here.
Because it doesn't taste good? Mediocre at best.

I agree though.

Only because you have a mental block that makes you unable to enjoy anything from a chain.

I've had whatever they call their fake AZN spicy boneless wings recently and they were :fuckyeah: - way the fuck better than any regular "tendies" :bs:

Insurance doesn't pay for this on my end. And she has Obamacare and uses all her Obamabux on physical therapy.
Be careful, it sounds like she's dangerously close to being sent to the death panel. :thanksobama:
Nah she's good. Thanks for paying your taxes doe. Been helping my sex life immensely :like:

Absolutely, because they were raised to believe they can do anything and shouldn't settle.
I don't want to settle...

Lots of psychologists don't take specific insurance because the reimbursement sucks.
I think its one of those things that I'd be on the hook for the difference plus copay. Like if copay was $30 and they paid her $100 a session I'd be paying $50 + $30 copay, but that's a 50% improvement.

Or something.

IDK. :whocares: just :troywax: it.

Nah, some chains are fine. I had Chili's when on the Power Tour last week and found it to be :notbad:

My dad and I went to a Fuddruckers in TX and that burger was legit 5/7.

I also like chain sandwich shops. Jimmy John's, Firehouse, Potbelly, all are solid.

The trick is to have an ultimate goal in mind at a young age and then NEVER CHANGE IT NO MATTER WHAT. You will never recover from being a :derp: in your teens/20s. :waxer: is :waxer: not because he's been working hard, but because he's been working hard at ONE THING for 25 years.

Somehow this makes sense, and I appreciate it.

Lot's of these "speakers" market 20-25 as the "golden years" of experimenting with shit to find your "dream" but in reality all that does is stagnate your progress to shine in one specific aspect/field. Directing all resources into something moderately interesting/fulfilling will definitely end up a bigger return on investment.

If I become a :narc: at 22, I will retire at 45 :mindblown: with a pension + bennies. Plus I can get a job as a :narc: in a :waxer: area that doesn't even need cops but they pay 60k/year for them because keeping :mahtroy: out

I think my ultimate goal will be to:

be better than
do more than
etc.

the person I was yesterday. And chase who I think I will be in 5-10 years. Since it will always change.

Pick one. Literally anything. Be aspirational. Then make a plan. Then execute without compromise.


Much easier to change at the top than the bottom.

IDK if my life changed but I do think of things a bit differently now that I'm in relationship therapy sessions. Been helpful.
Without getting into too much detail, I was self-sabotaging myself both professionally and personally without even knowing it. The therapist really helped me open my eyes to what was wrong with me and how to fix it.

I don't really buy couples therapy because I really think it's better one-on-one. Seems like it would stir up more trouble than it would help. Infamous and I went to different therapists at the same time to work on our own problems and found our relationship strengthened significantly as a result...and we were doing it for ourselves, not each other. Individual mental health is critical for LYFE.
:dat:

We've had many discussion on this subject.

I swear, you're like mah twin.

I"m probably 5-10 years behind where I could have been if I had entered my company as soon as I graduated undergrad. But that wasn't an option.

So what?

Life is long, make the most of what you can when you can and you'll be fine. It's not a fucking competition or a race...you win if you're happy.
