I can already see Kris Jenner staring out at me from those Ocean Spray bottles with those dead eyes of hers, like a Doll’s eyes they are.

The composite is worth it. What’s more worth it is moving from a deck to a paver/cobblestone patio if feasible. Those things last forever if put in right.

I’m 35 and I’m with you - adding into your list living in a home you remodeled yourself. Selling a home you remodeled yourself for much profit. Raising two hell-raising and brilliant boys.

It was dickety-six, as I remember it. We had to say dickety because the Kaiser took our word for twenty.

Age 35 checking in here, but I’ve been old since 25, though. I’ve been described as an Old Soul since high school - let me tell you, that draws the chicks! Right? Damnit... anyway, I always found joy in older pursuits. Way before hipsters were a thing, I bought an old house and worked on it myself. I got married…

Also - Alaska. I used to work with a guy who would be around 36 now. Grew up near the Klondike area in eastern Alaska. His house had no electricity or running water.

It’s a pessimistic view you have there, but one I happen to share. Not a one of these politicians care about the nameless faces that gawp up at them on their dais. Just like all of us, they are motivated by a profound self interest the same way most all humans have been since pre-history. One difference is they…

I don’t know why, but all I see is a Citroen steering wheel in that picture:

I’ll echo other responses - proper respect to your father for that job. I’m pretty handy but there’s no way that I would even attempt that.

Do you mean QuickTrip? As a Kansan, we are rife with them and they are pretty darn decent.

Another Kansan here, said exactly that. Keys in the ignition and over the limit - you could be given a DUI. In college I used to hear about guys sleeping it off in their car after a party and they’d put the keys in the trunk to make sure they weren’t tempted.

If the keys are in the ignition, yes. I’ve even heard that they can give you one if the keys are anywhere near you when you are behind the wheel.

Who the hell says we’re all white? And he wasn’t bumped for overbooking, he was bumped to make room for corporate employees despite his valid and confirmed ticket with a seat assignment.

You have no idea what this man’s specialty is. At one point time in my city there was exactly ONE pediatric gastrointestinal surgeon. In a city of half a million and a minimum of a six hour drive for any other pediatric gastro surgeon away.

Really? Adidas were always too narrow for me. I’m not a 4E, but 2E are snug. I’ve found that Asics and Mizuno work well for width. Can’t go near Adidas or Reeboks. F’ing Reeboks feel like I’m wearing shoes intended for my wife’s feet - like I can feel my little toe wanting to wrap around the sole.

Sigh... Time to out myself a bit. I was a yell leader (or male cheerleader) at a B12 school in the early 2000's. At that time, we had at least one girl that did a rotation as a peeler, possibly two. A couple girls were very anorexic - one so much so that nobody would stunt with her because she lost too much muscle…

I refuse to take driving advice from a state that created the ‘Michigan Left’ at all of their damn intersections.

“warning shots are fired across the bowel”

*echoing sigh*

Per Bota, everything in their box except the pencil-diameter foil seal is recyclable. Can’t speak to other brands, but I can at least tell you that.
