Those are going away over time - thank God!

Damn - not a good way to go.

Don’t forget the elevators, which are always full of piss and feces too.

Back when investments were doing iffy and our mortgage interest rate was higher, we bought down the principal to below the so-called “jumbo” level (I’m in the Bay Area, so by definition every house loan is above that level unless you paid cash outright), so we could get a much lower rate. That paid off because we went…

As bad as SF Muni and Bart are, at least we don’t get brown showers in our stations. Well not yet, anyway...

You can also buy a coin bank that will automatically sort them for you and allow you to just place the wrapper over the coins. I used those years ago. Currently I just save coins for parking and for adding money for SF Muni/Bart rides.

I have but one star to give! More stars!

Even easier - have better scanners so you don’t need to take all of your stuff out in the first place. These crappy multi-million dollar scanners can’t tell the difference between sweaty junk and a hand grenade.

Yes - I was at Cincinnati airport recently and there was only one person checking documents for two scanning lines, which caused a huge backup. Then there were a bunch of schmucks just sitting around doing nothing.

I’ve had two packages sent to me by accident recently. Thankfully both were nearby so it wasn’t like I was going too far out of my way, especially for the 75 pounds of Duraflame logs I got one day. :)

I’ve done this too. As long as you keep the air blast a reasonable distance from the components to prevent damage you’re good.

Nice job. That computer looks like the inside of the computer at my wife’s work. I had the joy of replacing the hard drive (their IT department is in another state and they were too cheap to send the guy out) and it was a disaster inside. I ended up using a vacuum and lots of cloths.

The bathroom - we always keep this clean because everyone needs to use it at some point during the day.

Spot on - unless your neighbors complain, nothing will happen. I know people who work out of their homes and they’ve had no issues whatsoever. This included massage therapists, writers, engineers and Mary Kay salespeople, among others.

Strawberry juice from recipe #1 is great with vodka or ice cream. So yummy!

Yes - we bought our house in Winter. Perfect timing, as people weren’t actively looking and we ended up getting a good deal out of it.

There are a lot of nice roads like that in the area. I’ve done my share of spirited drives on them. Good times.

Sadly it’s the same here in SF. One extreme or the other.

Sure it wasn’t Pastor Maldonado?
