That was my first thought. $2,000/night and the corners are that sloppy? No ruler? I’d’ve been doing pushups for days...

What happens if "Years later, adulthood, marriage, loss and a number of other things" HAVEN'T shown me much deeper emotional valleys and higher peaks?

After the money-stressed Christmas last year, I decided to start budgeting for presents. Listed all immediate family birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas presents, divided that total by 26 and put that amount every paycheque into a separate account (came out to $65/cheque - not crazy).

I find linens/towels get a bit of a smell when in a closet for a while.
Does anyone have suggestions for that? I would guess the dryer sheet would be an option...but how? Put them between the towels?

Obviously they wanted someone competent; in both cases, I probably wasn't the most experienced candidate - but they knew I would

Oil light on. The engine has low oil pressure. Check the oil level and add oil if you have some with you. Otherwise, have the vehicle towed to a repair shop. Driving a vehicle with low oil pressure can cause catastrophic engine damage.

This is me (at 2 years old) with my father's 1963 Avanti (original, not II!). Wasn't mentioned in the article, but the headlight and climate controls were all aeronautically inspired. I often wonder if my life-long love of planes came from this car?

I ended up liking it...once the discipline was there. Plus it was just me, so even if something did happen and I was broke for 3 weeks, it wasn't a big deal.

Getting paid once/month is tough. I had to get ALL my bills set up on the 1st...so I could get paid, then immediately pay everything I had to for the month.
