Welcome aboard. Something that has been going on for years and only continues to get worse is companies moving to subscription models for anything and everything. I assume the psychology is that $2 or $3 per month doesn’t seem like a lot and people have no problem committing to such a small amount, and the company…

just do my wife’s strategy. ask point blank what position was your sons conceived in. how do you suggest we do it to get better results. they get real uncomfortable real fast and change subjects

Yes! The heated seats. The one great bidet I mentioned also had a heated seat. That was GREAT in the winter.

This will be, like, the 10th time I’ve left basically the same comment, but if you’re flush with enough cash, a good Japanese or Korean made bidet toilet seat is a life changing purchase.
Standard pro-tips:
1. Discuss features with _everyone_ in your household before committing. Your “must haves” may be totally…

Its also worth pointing out (for clarity and assumptions) that not all toilets in Japan are bidets and some older buildings even still have the old-style squatty potties. That said, you can at times find public toilets that have a bidet or two. There was one bigger train station I used to catch a connecting train to a…

“If you do have any old lead-acid automotive batteries sitting around, bring them in to an O’Reilly Auto Parts store for recycling and we’ll give you a $10 gift card* for each one, even if they weren’t purchased from us.”

I’d say that pretty much all car batteries are not only recyclable but actually worth something, and most or all auto parts stores would take them. You might even be able to get a few bucks at a junkyard if you aren’t handing in your old battery to get back the “core charge” (deposit for a remanufacturable dead part)…

Uh huh, first it’s riding their bike to the corner, then they start snapping their fingers, and before you know it they’re having interracial dances and knife fights.

This was roughly our situation as well, though the swing wasn’t quite as big. We’ve run +/- $100 for years, suddenly this year we owed several hundred. The boost in paychecks wasn’t particularly notable.

I scrolled all the way down to make sure a diabeetus reference would be there. Thank you madam/sir/Russian spy not.

I agree with you. I would think that on a first date it’s more important to get to know who a person is, not how much money they have.

I just tell them I drive a Dodge Stratus, and let things take their natural course. 

I really don’t understand why anyone would want this to be a topic on a first date. This seems like something that should be considered once things get more serious. Nothing says romance on a first date like asking if someone has their 401k invested in a target date fund, or what the interest rates are on someone’s…

Shame that there seem to be increasingly more problems renting through AirBnb. I must have stayed in 3 dozen AirBnbs over the course of a year of traveling, and the absolute worst experiences we had were nothing more than two stays with weird homeowners.

I’m from Georgia originally. Let me enlighten all o’ y’all.

Our dogs hairs like to thread themselves into everything making vacuuming useless. I tried a lint brush but it was too weak, THEN I tried duct tape, like really good sticky gorilla tape. You use a lot but just make little circles and blot them on the hair and it pulls it up. Well, I used a lot, but my dog freaking…

No one:

Try wearing a rubber medical glove and rubbing the hair out of the carpet.  It loosens the hair.  Use shop-vac at the same time.  It’s not 100% but it does far better than just a vacuum alone.

This is the worst advice I have ever seen. Better advice- get all the dogs.
