    Usually spelled renege. It means to fail to follow through on your part of a deal. (Unless you're playing euchre.)

    I'm not really one who sees the benefit in too long dwelling on things that bother me, although I'm sure it gets me sometimes more than it really should, so after the first two or three posts of this thread I kind of let it go, until today, when things were a bit slower, and decided to read a few. I really never expected what I saw had been hanging there for days

    but then again, these posts have lately been becoming increasingly prevalent.
    To the best of my knowledge, when I first signed up here, the statements incurred included a "free to join", although shortly after becoming active on the forum, I did dissable Ad Blocking, as the ads generally are a means of revenue, and a way of supporting the forum. There are many who never come in, but read the forum daily.
    There are also those who lend much more than mere attendance, with their many helpful, thorough, and informative posts, without who's contributions this forum would not exist.
    Are the statements as quoted above, yet another one of the many benefits of becoming a "contributing" member? The added perk of being able, or should it say "qualified", to sit around and belittle the "non-contributing" members? They say that for every roach seen "on" the cabinet, there are a thousand more "in" it. Is this a good example what awaits those who "make it" to the private room?
    Since an injury near ten years ago, I have been qualified to draw free government money, but am yet to even consider asking for the application, or living off of taxpayer dollars. I'm not living fancy, but I'm living free. Fact is though, my personal financial situation, and my personal business decisions are just that, my business

    When someone parks too close too me in the adjacent space and prevents me from getting in my car easily. Sometimes I will park on the far end of the lot just so I can have some "breathing room" only for someone to park right next to me.

    That really grinds my gears.

    50,000 vapid soccer moms parking on the street waiting in line to pick up their snotfactories from school.

    A, why can't your yunguns walk home, or take the dang bus?

    and B. Why do you have to snarl the traffic all over a five block radius from every #$!@ school in town?!? Park on THE SIDE of the street, NOT THE MIDDLE!
