Oh no! I guess I let my mouth overload my ass didnt I? :AH-HA_wink: You wouldn't do that to a CTS. You love them to much. And you had to bring up the marriage proposal! I told you that its arranged. My family still does arranged marriages.

Hey 'blu, one of my buddies (a hot guy too) just bought a new VW GTI Mk V. Black/black plaid, 6 spd, very nice.

PCS, you are such a liar! You told me about what you were doing to GMNA and I punched you right in the mouth! Stop making it out to be your an accident when you know that I beat your ass!

PCS, thanks bud. GMTG, I'm sorry for the delay with your Sierra, but you didn't want the red one so I had to reorder it. As for the family, things have settled down because they know that I stand up for what I believe in. The golden rule goes a long way, and it is a double edged sword. If I acted like that, I would expect to be treated the same way. Thanks for the CTS! I went to the Cadillac dealer in St. Charles, Illinois and they did not have one 6MT CTS. They did have a bunch of CTS 4s though. I did not drive one. The dealer was really nice, though. I kept eyeing this STS DI3.6, but it does not come with a 6MT.

Modern advances in safety and conveniences don't fix inattention and carelessness.

Glad to hear you're back in the saddle 'blu.

Metallica ROCKS! I've been listening to them nonstop lately. I didn't realize they broke up though?

Thanks everyone for the support. FOG man, I have dealt with the depression $h!. I have cured myself from it. If you want to know more about what I did to get rid of it, then PM me and I'll give you the details of what I did. If it helped me, it may help you. Everyone is different, though, and you have to find what works for you. I don't trust those chemical medications that are given to people by doctors. Oh, and FOG, I'd be getting the hell away from the alcohol and meth people in your life. You're too good for that man. Your success is dictated by the people you surround yourself with and you gotta dump the human barnicals before they drag you down. You're too smart of a guy for that. As for putting up with the stupid $h! and ignorance at my place for the holidays, I can only say that I learned how to stick up for myself in a more effective way other than what I wanted to do/say to them. I think its best to let people like that go on and do their stupid $h! because they only make themselves look like asses, and they'll suffer for it eventually. It's fun to keep your enemies close so you can watch them suffer from their own moronics. Makfu: Thanks for the tip on the CTS 6MT. I like a car with an edge. From how it sounds, I bet this car would be a good fit for me. I'll keep you updated. I will head over to the Cadillac dealer in St. Charles, IL tomorrow to see if they have a CTS 6 in stock. I am visiting the family farm in northern IL for a few days to relax a bit after the fiasco I just survived. I will let everyone know what I think if they do have one in stock. On a side note, I went to Bingo tonight at the Lions Club here in Elburn, IL and noticed that Bob Jass (I call it Hugh Jass Motors) has two 08 Malibus. One is a red LT1 4 cylinder, the other a white LTZ V-6. Even with 3 inches of snow on them, they look much more expensive than they are and they have real road presence. I also noticed that Hugh Jass left his Corvettes out in the snow. Stupid stupid! Its a sin to disrespect Corvettes that way. Bad Hugh Jass! BAD!

Thanks for the support guys. Makfu, no they weren't drunk. They are just loud mouths. I have taken some flack from my mother for asking them to leave, but she didn't see all of what was transpiring. I believe in "live and let live", and who do people think they are when they place their opinion over the feelings and respect of other human beings? By the way Makfu, sometime in 2008 I will be ordering a new CTS 3.6DI with 6-speed. I'm curious to know how things are going with yours.

2007 has been a tough year for me as well. At the beginning of the year I learned that my long time partner had been cheating on me with a married man. Sleeping with other guys was not in our relationship agreement. Unfortunately, he contacte HIV from this married guy and I ended the relationship immediately. I moved my family from Cochrane to Montana where we are living now. I have had to begin a new life and being a single dad is not easy, but thankfully great people around you and a good sense of who you are (and your spirituality) can get you through almost anything. I also lost my father this year after a sudden heart attack that left him with little brain function. Turning off the machines was very hard on all of us. Despite the tough times, 2007 has been good with many good things happening such as my son graduating from college with a 4.0 GPA and my daughter continuing to grow into someone I not only love because she is my daughter but someone who I respect and trust to do the right thing. There were no special anniversaries for me this year. I just look at 2007 as a year of transition. I hope that 2008 is a better year for not only myself but also for everyone here. Cheers.

I had a houseful for Christmas.. . . so many that I escaped to the computer room and locked the door. Family is nice and all, but too much is too much. My aunt and uncle came in town. They are staunch republicans from Illinois, and while I don't hold that against them they do not like the gay folks. I opened my home to them thinking they would be respectful to me, my children, and everyone else. I was wrong. I was treated disrespectfully on numerous occasions and in front of others. My kids were called bastard children and I was accused of populating the world with maladjusted children. While I do not mind others to have an opinion about certain aspects of our society, I do find that attacking those who have opened up your home is not nice. It occurred to me that people who believe that their opinions are more important than another's feelings are those who take freedom away from the citizens in this country. As I have stewed about this, I have learned that I, too, oppress people with my opinions and my new year's goal for 2008 is to work to accept people for who they are, and what they believe. As for my aunt and uncle, I politely asked them to stay in a hotel and not return for dinner or gift exchange if they felt that "fags" like me should be sent off to seminaries where we should be reprogrammed to be sexually correct. It's the first time I've ever asked a family member to leave my home. I just thought would share my Christmas with you. I hope everyone here had a merrier Christmas than I. Here's to a great New Year.

thank you

cookie?

Santa should have delivered it last night. Don't tell me took off with your Sierra?!

Feliz Cumpleanos XP! I hope no one gets you hybrid presents for both you rbday and Christmas. You should get more presents than the average bear.

I am taking a much needed break away from my family and friends here. It's been constant cooking, cleaning, and logistical problem solving. Tis the season. I just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone here at C&G a Merry Christmas. I hope the holiday is filled with whatever you so desire. Sincerely, K.C. and "the family"

huh?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Birthday GMTG. Here's a gift for you.
