Taking pictures of preexisting damage is great, but, will they actually believe me when I say it was there before I drove it? Is the time/date stamp on pictures enough proof, or do I need to call it to the attendants attention/document it on the rental paperwork before I leave?

I get the notifcations on the slide show posts that someone responded, I switch browers and come to look at them. I actually laughed when you mentioned privacy. I have no illusions of privacy on this site, as its been that way for years so I see no reaosn why they would change. :)

I just cant get it to work in Firefox. I even tried cursing it soundly, which is my go-to in these situations. I went to Edge and its fine.

You can.  You learned today to look at it in a browser that isnt Firefox.

I would like to say I learned how to view comments on these slideshow posts, but I cant. All I can see if the top of the first one and then nothing but the bottom banner.

“Ash Wednesday is the most heavily attended mass of the year, drawing more people than even Christmas or Easter.” When I was growing up, the Catholic kids said they went because it was a reason to get out of school on a Wednesday, whereas Easter is on Sunday and Christmas is already a day where there was no school. Als…

I learned, (thankfully not too late) that “Perfection” is a journey and not a destination. Its great to aim for it, but you wont ever hit it, since it does not actually exist.

I just did a quick self check using their list and now I am really depressed and fear for my health.

They are popular, but I have gas & gas, with no regrets. Going back into an electric, and would not be a choice I would make unless circumstances forced me, and I would be pretty unhappy about it.  The cooking is just SO much better all around with gas.

In my observation it works both ways causing anger/resetnment. The sleeper gets angry at the waker for making them get up, and/or the waker gets angry at the sleeper for placing them in a position of having to do it. The sleeper needs to take responsibility for themselves at some point, and the waker needs to stop the…

I have gotten those, put it in a slow cooker (with root beer of all crazy things) and then BBQ sauce for pulled pork. Its quite the crowd pleaser for get togethers.  Tastes like a million for 99 cents a pound a few hours slow cook time.

“...Convince your partner to force you to wake up in the morning.”  This sounds like a one way ticket to major conflict and/or a break up.

The value of a freezer when on a food budget cannot be overstated. A lot of folks don’t have room for one, but in the long run, it can be a big food dollar stretcher, especially for produce purchase in season.

There are all gas, all electric and duel fuel ranges - duel fuel is where the stove top is gas and the oven is electric. (I am in the US, that may vary elsewhere.)

I was basically talking about the oven portion, not so much the cook-top, but good advice.

Something I noticed about being able to have a gas range again after years of forced electric cooking, is that the electric oven bakes much drier. Be sure to add extra water/some type of moisture to the oven/dish or everything (especially meat) will come out really dry compared to gas. Also, the cook time tends to be…

I understand not liking a relative, especially an in-law, but to “pretend to like them” is disingenuous, but don’t have to to hateful or hostile either. Be courteous and civil, is all I am saying. Pretending to like them when you don’t will only make them more suspicious of your motives and make them assume you are a…

I would much rather someone hate me honestly than pretend to like me. I probably already know they hate me and probably know why, so pretending just makes me dislike them more.

I had the dog until he passed of old age (I was heartbroken) and did not get another for the same reason, and allergies (which were unknown when I got him).  

I love to entertain, so I had people over, and then they left, I locked the door, cleaned up and went back to doing me. I got a dog so I would have a reason to occasionally come home. I think living alone and being able to take care of yourself is an ESSENTIAL life skill. So many people stay in terrible situations…
