Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Not necessarily a win-win situation for you, but I can live with that.

I am getting really annoyed that you people keep encouraging me to be a good husband and parent and not telling me to spend that money on blackjack, hookers and cocaine.

It's not as fun as you'd like it to be but I'll strive to be a worse influence on you in the future.

So I am in a not so good mood today. The reason being the furnace wasn't running properly, it would only stay on for about 30 seconds, so my mom called my uncle who used to work in heating and air conditioning and stuff. We put in a new nozzle, and a new electrode, we cleaned the chimney at the bottom near the furnace which was full of soot, including a fucking brick, and we made sure the cords were running at 10K volts, and it still won't stay on. His analysis is it's the aquistate, but we just put a new one in less than 7 months ago, and those cost about 1,000 dollars, so now we don't know what to do.
