I’d be interested in hearing some hacks to address this. I may road trip some day and will probably opt to sleep in my hatchback over setting up a tent daily.

This is a good point - run ideas by the parent(s) first.

I’m close with a couple of my friends’ kids and said friends prefer that I not spend a ton in gifts for their kids (just on principle), which means that a lot of annual passes and admission to theme parks are out of the budget. Since I can sew I’ve taken the opportunity to take each kid on a one-on-one date to the…

I have the proceeds from selling my condo (about $65k) sitting in a savings account earning like .2% and I don’t anticipate needing it for a down payment on my next house for at least 6-18 months. I’m also adding about $800/month into the account. Is this amount worth investing given my time span? I would also need to…

Who ... “takes physical command” with a strangers dog

Can swallow over sized objects.

Yuuuup. One is just full of food coloring (or science, if you do it the old fashioned way).

They make me smile every time they stir the pot.

Bribes of “the good chocolate!” seem to work for my friend’s 2 year old. But yeah, when he’s not buying the bribe I’m glad I don’t have to clean it up.

This is a good trick. I’ve got a “house savings” account (for my next house), a car savings, a fun savings (birthday adventures), and a fully-funded regular savings using this method. Each account has a goal and since those goals are a few years off I can effectively manage what accounts get what deposited into them.

I’d like to see this too - everything loose in a crash goes toward the point of impact so projectiles are a real hazard.

Backed into AND t-boned...mad skillz granny.

Pleased that for once bystanders didn’t rush in to drag a crash victim out of a car when they didn’t need to be. Let the first responders move them.

I have a standard poodle and can confirm this. I did have to train her as a puppy to not bark at everything but she’s good about it now.

Oh my gosh, yes. The family I rent from is actively trying to burn down their house by never cleaning the lint trap.

Came here to say the same thing.

I’m never near a computer on Saturday nights so here’s what I’ve made in the last nine months, lol...

My dad and step mom made some bomb-ass hanger steak that we turned into steak salad.

I drive a Fit, which is delightful to parallel park, but I sure as hell couldn’t get it into that spot without tearing off a few body panels.

A credit monitoring service might be a good fit for you here. Instead of freezing your credit and creating a hassle with applying for jobs, you can simply set it all up to notify you if anyone is mucking around with your credit (like applying for a loan in your name) other than running a report. From there I’m not…
