I can't believe all the people freaking out about working on an outlet. What exactly passes for DIY these days? I'm not old enough to be nostalgic for the days where people would pull electric motors out of broken appliance and use them to build bench grinders and polishing wheels.

I just keep hoping that a job finding strategy article might actually be something other than one more set of tips about resume writing as if that is the only thing involved in looking for a job. After all it was once written- "...you shouldn't assume your experience is universal."

I'm starting to wonder if I should just stop looking at the job advice posts. I cannot remember the last job I had that actually wanted a resume. Most every job I've ever had only takes the standard application form. If you handed in something you printed yourself it was handed back to you.

does this apply to used cars as well. Cuz honestly a new car sounds great but between purchase and arriving home with it, the car becomes a used car and thus worth several months rent less. Sooo that trip home from the lot isn't worth that much for me.

some of these might be out of your territory, but...

I've actually played only a few games here and there when I was younger, but I collect the source materials for many RPGs because I just like creating worlds and characters and scenarios with them.

I go through phases in my hobbies/creative side businesses. I've not done any painting in about two years, but am currently working one some electronics projects. And I've not done stained glass in over five years. But I will cycle back around and the electronics will go into a corner and I'll pull out one of the…

so now you know what I'm doing with my money too. Jeeze that clairvoyance of yours must be such a great burden, yet it seems to continually fail to allow you to see the actual issue.

actually no I haven't. but keep telling yourself what you need to to justify your beliefs. Living within a state in which my employment takes place and in which I have little option other than HOA is no better than being forced to sign on to a union to get a job because unions control that field in you region. You…

Yes because working a job full time and raising a family isn't enough work, I should have to spend twenty six hours a week on political actions to make sure I don't have to spraypaint my lawn to avoid a fine.

the real question is whose idea was it to have people inventing laws about how green their neighbors lawns have to be to prevent them from having to pay fines.

no, I don't live in an area without HOAs because there are none in the nearest 57 mile radius where the individual property value is under 250 grand for less than 3 acres. Oh unless you want to talk Condos and trailer parks which have condo associations and or park land mangement groups.

HOAs can get bent. they are a blight on the population of this country. They are absolutely everywhere and the thing that pisses me off is: if you can just afford your first house it is pretty much a given that you will be beholden to these 'organizations' and told what duties you must perform on your property and…

I've known a few people who got good cars for the cost of a happymeal because of 'Divorce'. Think about it. Jointly owned things that an ex gets half of the sales price for. There are enough people willing to take a slight loss to say F U to an ex trying to pad their wallet with the spoils of their relationship, and…

No no no, get an egg slicer, slice, rotate 90 degrees, slice again, rotate at a right angle to the first rotation plane 90 degrees, slice again. and mix with your dressing and a knife.

$20, If you ever think you will need to borrow from me again make sure it's paid back. I'm willing to lose $20 to be friendly and helpful to most people. If I do lose that much it doesn't change my opinion of you for the negative it just means you can't borrow from me again until it's paid back.

go to your goodwill, go directly to one of two sections - romance, or reference. Grab a hard bound book with a dust jacket that when removed gived you almost no indication what the book is. Or grab a Guiness book of world records or dictionary. The universe is absolutely lousy with masses of these things and they are…

oh oh oh, I know, why not use books you never plan to read again, then you can make them even more solid by replacing the paper with metal and glueing it in. Then it's... a book end.

actually put the new Thor in the next movie. I'd love to see the movies legitimize this as not just some story arc. Give her her own movie to follow up.

hmm, kinda disappointing. I'd have liked to see Leonardo on there, and how about Tesla. Maybe Einstein too. And I have to agree that the difference between before they made it and after would be an interesting one to see.
