First of all congrats bro . I ' m not up for advancement until September . But I recommend NEVER having the nex sew your shit on . It ' s more expensive and it takes longer . Find a alterations shop around your area and have them do it . Most of them will know how to do it , and if not , you can just tell them . <| sep |> He ' s one of the site founders and a web developer . This is exactly the kind of thing he would know . <| sep |> My dad did something similar to me at that age , but it involves his tractor . He was upset as usual and needed it moved while he was doing something else . I tried explaining I barely knew how to drive a car and that I had no idea how to work this giant thing . He just kept saying Just do it ! Like that would help . I sat on that stupid thing frantically trying buttons and levers as he got increasingly more angry . Finally he stomped back over yelled at me to get my head out of my ass and walked me through it quickly . I never considered that either of my parents could be narcissistic until now . That just might explain the dread and emptiness I ' ve always felt toward the family centered holidays .
