Let’s ask it another way. How much will a divorce save you? My ex spent my $100,000 savings in 2 years buying clothing, shoes, jewelry, and travel. Yes, I should have seen it coming when she came into the marriage with a zero balance savings account, but the divorce was worth every penny to stop the financial hemorrhag…

We have a catahoula leopard dog about 7 years old. We live in the country on a fenced lot with plenty of room for him to get up to full speed. Still he is very insistent that he get a deeper walk every day. We have a flood-condemned neighborhood nearby that we take him to run off the leash. It is bordered on one side…

NPR had an interesting story yesterday. To paraphrase, Q is a game, designed by a game designer, based in reality, where the payers largely do not realize they are playing a game. The players give each other clues about what’s happening in life leaving the other players to draw conclusions within their own framework.…

Kinda makes me want to move to FL so I could vote against her. 

Before you make such blanket statements about OEM phone chargers, buy/try a OnePlus phone and charger. When you have a charger that works that well, it is no wonder to us (OnePlus owners) why they delayed going to a slower technology like wireless. 

With all the fans, do these things fly? 

Dear RealDonald of the Future. Remember the China Virus? Everyone called it a pandemic, but me, Melania, and the freakishly tall Barron all got it, and bing-bang-boom, we got over it like nobody in the history of the world. Not much of a pandemic if you ask me. Then after the virus was over, I think some of my friends…

I used to be a mover. If a tip was ever given, it would have been taken by my boss and I’d have never seen it. Having said that, the biggest help the clients can be is if they would please get out of our way. Leave the house.  Go visit the neighbors.  We know what we’re doing. 

Yeah, no, this isn’t going to work on Donald Trump.  Nobody can pull an election out of their pocket. 

What monster would wash hamburger?

I’m not sure who you are replying to with the hour per tile comment. My tile picture was a demonstration of concept and took about a minute. The rest of the floor took about 30 minutes with the magic mop attachment. We had had a fire in the house so there was soot on every surface.

Sofia Shanahan asks, “Did anybody know that?”

President Trump deserves some credit for this. His abdication of the truth throughout the pandemic resulted in his accidental cooperation in this effort.

UNBELIEVABLE! Someone guessed my pets name was

You are making the mistake of scrubbing with the Magic Eraser. Here’s how I cleaned this textured porcelain tile and grout (which is wet but turned white after drying).

I retired a year ago at age 68. Unrelated to the retirement, I had been having lower back pain for months. My wife suggested a kick twist maneuver which worked like a chiropractic visit - instantly. Partly due to the back pain I noticed my wife had started doing little things for me that I was apparently stressed at…

I thought you were collecting ideas and then, quietly, discarding the ones that did not fit your lifestyle. Also you asked, “how do you,” not “how do I” followed with your personal list of caveats, exemptions, rules, and special cases.

Of all the crap I have in my car, the things I use most are a pen and a knife, neither of which you mentioned. Well you did mention pencil, but usually I need to sign something and need the pen. In addition have a SCUBA divers fixed blade with wire cutter back, two flipper pocket knives, and two box cutters. Mostly…

We activated the card on the way to the bank, handed the card to the teller, and she transferred the balance (full amount) to our account. Wife destroyed the card on the way out of the bank. Most painless thing I’ve ever done.

You’re thinking of the temperature control dial, not the dials/buttons that control which processes are in use. I’ve never seen a (modern) car that doesn’t default to the AC ON when you turn on the system. In my Honda I have to push a button to turn the AC off once the system is on. And it does not matter whether I…
