Re Question #1: When I purchased my last vehicle in 2006, the salesman spent a good part of the time asking 1) if I have a trade-in and 2) will I be financing. I kept responding with: “Let’s just focus on the out-the-door price.” I was already pre-approved with a blank check loan and I knew what I wanted to pay for…

I use Prime a lot, too. But I also price compare against other sites because a lot of the time Amazon doesn’t have the best price. I also use Amazon Music and, as a cord-cutter, their streaming TV content. I figure between the free shipping, Music, and TV content, it’s worth the price.

So you pooped, too?  You find the time, sir!

I’ve always considered myself a right-leaning moderate (online tests confirm it!)...and I matched with Yang on 8 of the 10 questions. Because I’m not blinded by voting by party allegiance, I’ll be looking deeper into Yang. Thanks, Lifehacker!

We did the same but with the large snails that would come out after the rain. We’d fill our brown paper lunch bags with them and once the war began it wasn’t over until the bags were empty. At least until Ray went home crying to his mom because the shell cut his tender little cheek.  That was the end of Snail Wars.…

This is so much my parents. Here’s another thing they did. Refinanced the house....to buy a car. *shivers*

I have a couple planter/pedestals at the curb that dogs repeatedly pee on (cover, re-cover). After awhile, the area completely stunk of pee and stained the stone facing. After spraying down the lower areas with a mixture of vinegar and water, the dogs now tend to ignore it and are less compelled to mark it.  

Do you water your grass a lot or live in a rainy climate? If the grass gets a lot of water, the urine doesn’t impact the grass much. If the grass is dry (especially in drought conditions), the urine will burn it pretty quickly.

Yes.  My previous employer was sued in a class-action lawsuit for only providing high-cost, mediocre 401K options when cheaper, better performing options were available.  We (the employees) won the lawsuit, but the payout for the thousands of current and former employees came out to around $30 per person after…

This is the only way I make ribs now. If I pre-mix the rub, I can have ribs in my mouth within an hour after work. Sold!

Pizza Hut has been trash for at least 10-15 years. The demise started when they got rid of the sit-down restaurants. Now they’re all Papa John-style pickup/delivery kitchens (at least in Arizona). No more eating that buttery, crispy crust right out of the cast iron pan. No, now it only comes in a box and has…

Neither of my vehicles are in there.  1998 4Runner and 2006 G35.  Surprising.  Are these crowd-sourced?

That may not fly in the US, but anything goes in 1960s Europe, baby....

I said this to myself in a Bill Cosby voice.  It works.

Silver lining:  NASA just found its next astronaut.

Pooping in the dark....how do you know when you’re done wiping?

The thought of paying rent (or a mortgage) in retirement is nothing I want any part of.

LOVE the M-Series! Awesome purchase....an older M3 or M5 is in the back of my head for when the G passes on. (Just passed 100K and she still pulls hard, though.)
