Having spent some time in Tuscon on the Air Force base I learned something hilarious. For base housing developments, you could choose between ‘native’ and ‘grass lawn’ as your yard.

Here in Mississippi we haven’t had any measurable rain in nearly two months and we are still in a heat wave. Now is not a good time to seed your lawn here either...

In the midwest, we’re having a heck of a heatwave. We’ve been under heat advisory for 3 days, and it’s been extended til tomorrow.

There was a time in my life that I had that sort of optimism.

I finally caught the Mario movie on streaming and was shocked by how much my friends (who’s opinions I typically jive with) liked it. I didn’t even end up finishing it, which is something I rarely do.

Not gonna lie Barbie was a far better movie. Branding aside, it has broader appeal when you look at the actual content of the movie.

Just slap a UPS label on your suitcase and have them handle it. I realize that this doesn’t work with everything, but you can significantly reduce the amount of luggage you have to carry (and less stuff means less trouble at TSA).

Send this bag through the screener machine first and hopefully by the time the family is through the checkpoint and has everything collected and put back together except that bag, TSA is done with the extra screening on it.

It’s been a long time since I read a lifehacker article with actual useful feeling lifehack info. This was refreshing and welcomed. More of this please. 

Try watching YouTube videos. Pick a project, watch a video. Keep the projects simple and within your expertise. Build up your DIY skills. Big projects can be broken down. Be patient. Good Luck.

There’s also the idea that a lot of homebuyers buy the house regardless of the kitchen and bathroom because they know they’re also going to dump (on top of the already inflated sticker price) a stupid amount of money to renovate the kitchen and bathrooms THAT WERE JUST F*$%ING RENOVATED because it just has to be…

or when you’re in the third month of what you expected to be a one-month renovation

There are easier ways to watch TOH than breaking your leg, y’know.

But what else am I going to watch with my spouse so that we can judge people on their tacky choices, annoying complaints, and complete inability to see past a coat of paint to change things up?  

You are watching home renovation shows and daydreaming about renovating your own home.

With one giant caveat being This Old House/Ask This Old House, the best show on television, and the only one my fiance and I watch regularly. We may as well add Kevin, Tom, and Richard to the wedding guest list at this point.

Texas is actually a great state, it’s the corrupt GOP controlled governors office that sucks. 

Texan here - don’t encourage the backwards ass laws we have by vacationing here.

I’d move if it was affordable to do so, but it’s not in the cards right now.

days spent in oklahoma city or little rock are not a vacation but a sentence.

Finally, you’d better also not be in any sort of minority population if you plan on going to any of these places.
