[QUOTE="buddy, post: 522256, member: 12886"] What is so crazy is that some of the cheaper (Walmart, Target, etc.... bikes) are so much better than "better" bikes from long ago.... any new bike is such a treat. I'm sorry he is so ungrateful, I loved my bike. (Too bad he didn't lucky like Q last year. Several years ago I got us both really good bikes -when I was working- got him one of those bmx type bikes even the teens like, on sale at a good bike shop. He broke bikes yearly and this one is in great shape still, BUT I had found a five dollar one at a garage sale, walmart type, which was a 12 speed. THAT one was his favorite. Someone stole it from our porch two years ago (locked up and all) and he really liked it best because he is a long distance biker. BUMMER for him because I can't buy bikes now. THEN last year, we think someone who moved out somehow did not remember to load their bike. I finally moved it out of the rain after two weeks. It was a super good name bike, a 15 something speed. Not huge either, so even though he is kind of short he could ride it. I asked the office, the kids around us, NO ONE claimed it. no license on it, police said no way to track it down and he could have it if no one claimed it. I told the office if someone yells that they see he has their bike, just let us know, we didn't TAKE it. SO, he got an amazing bike and it was amazingLY free.) Anyway, just a story I still can't believe. I wish he could appreciate that you never had to even get him that bike. I feel frustrated even with Q when he is not thankful at times, can only imagine how you feel. You and husband did great. Glad he is supporting you as a unit. [/QUOTE]
