Yeah something is off, there can be some difference in what you see and what the dealer sees but not more than 100 points. You may have to go through equifax or experian to get the whole report. Could be an issue with an old account or if you were looking to get financed at multiple dealers and they all did a hard…

I mean I wouldn’t consider a $500 laptop dope by most standards. In that range they are usable but don’t do anything above average. I have been looking at laptops for two family members in the $500-$700 range and they are more standard laptops that shouldn’t crap out in a year or two.

The trick to eating at your wedding is to get your pictures done before the ceremony. Then thank people for coming during the happy hour and when you sit down for dinner, you can actually eat the food. At my wedding, both my wife and I were in agreement that if we were spending so much on food, we were going to enjoy…

My high school (outside of Philly) offered an accounting course as an elective that a lot of people took. It went through the basics of accounting but also included personal finance topics as well. Budgeting, personal banking, and taxes were all covered. It was light, as far as I can remember, on credit cards and I…

Since this is an Italian American recipe, add as much garlic as you like. I tend to keep it at about one head of garlic for the amount of tomatoes in the sauce in his recipe. The difference between Italians in Italy vs. America is that the Americans leave a lot of the garlic in their food through the whole process. In…

I was one of those babies, but I was diagnosed with Colic. 9 months of no sleep for my parents. Appearently the only thing that go me to sleep was a ride in the car or a wind-up bouncing swing that you had to wind every 15 mintues.

Looking back i really appreciate that my high school had an accounting class that not only introduced students to account, but personal finance as well. I took it in 2003 and it was appropriate for the time and technology, now it would have been pretty behind the times. Things like personal checks, atms, and balancing…

I thought the point of the non-integrated screens was to bring them up, closer to the drivers field of view.  

I have played a few different Co-Ed sports like football, softball, and kickball.  They all were very much like described, guys just trying to minimize the girls on the team and pick on girls of the opposing team.  THe one sport that I did play that seemed to not have these issues was Broomball.  I had a couple of…

Finding the right photographer was important for us. We interviewed a few but the one we really wanted, a ton of fantastic reviews and was fully booked, was unavailable on our date. He recommended a friend who was getting started. Going with his friend was a great decision. Not only was he very good, but was a very…

If you hire movers, have them come out and give you an estimate, don’t try to estimate all of your boxes yourself unless they are packed up already. I have used movers before and they always come out if you do the estimate yourself and say that there is more stuff than what you have. Let them give you their estimate…

This isn’t new and there were multiple sites that reported on this as far back as June 2017: https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/12/move-apps-drag-and-drop-ios-11-iphone-video/ and Lifehacker covered this in September 2017: https://lifehacker.com/ios-11-finally-gets-app-organizing-almost-right-1818819165

Our financial adviser gave us some really good advice about what to do when we come into money, be it inheritance, tax returns, or any other way. His advice was to split the money into thirds as a start. The three groups of focus were debt payment, savings/investment, and fun. Now if breaking it into thirds doesn’t…

My mom’s pumpkin pie adds either a shot of scotch or burbon, depending what you have on hand. Adds a lot of depth.

The sweet sauce thing is pretty common outside of the Philly through NYC area. A lot of the southern US, even the east coast has a sweeter sauce. One way to cut the acid a bit without adding sugar is to add a bell pepper cut in half and add a whole onion as the sauce cooks. Once they become soft it cuts the acid, adds…

I just don’t think it is entirely practical for most people though. I live about 12 miles from my office. I bring my laptop home with me every day as we are required to. I frequently have to travel with engineering plans and reports on a weekly basis. A bike or scooter just wouldn’t make sense. My wife is a teacher…

The average commute to work in the US is 26 minutes (2015 US Census Bureau). A lot of that is driving in a car. In large cities, you can typically get by with using public transit for most of your commute but if you live outside of the city, you may have a difficult time getting to a train station or finding a way in…

2010 Ford Fusion passenger side headlight is a pain without removing the tire and wheel well liner. All other lights though are generally easy.

Let me clear a few things up for you. Yes people do drink groundwater that is untreated and not just for home wells but for some small public water sources as well. Small trailer parks, shopping centers (with food service places), industrial parks, etc. all can have well systems that do not treat the water at all or…

I completely agree. The seasoning of food as soon as you get it is up to the person eating but i do think that they should at least take a bite before adding a ton of salt and pepper. I happen to like more pepper than most people but i usually never just add it to my dish without trying it first. Even if i know I will…
