  1. Don't disagree.  And on top of that, they have changed the dimentions of the larger water heaters, so you can't put a 55 gallon tank in the attic since it's squattier than it used to be.  And don't forget, the sediment in the tank that can't be removed easily adds another 50+ lbs of crap you have to haul down from the attic. 
     
    Unfortunately in our case, they put them up there because there was no utility closet in the house, and the garage wasn't an option.

    I use one of these the last time I replaced a water heater in the attic. I screwed an eye hook into a rafter, lowered the old one, lifted the new one and returned it back to Amazon the next day.

  2. Do you know if you can transfer funds from another 529 plan to the Utah plan? I’ve had my son’s 529 plan set through the Texas College Savings Plan since he was born (now 9) and been underwhelmed with its performance over the years. 

    Yes you can. Years ago I had a shitty financial advisor that had me in the Alaska 529. I got rid of him and moved the accounts to Utah.

  3. If she had completed her trip and lived two more years, she could have seen aggy win their only national championship in football.

  4. USPS is awful. No accountability. Their prices are also now through the roof. Recently, I finished a book and wanted to send it to my sister in ABQ.  Had to go to the post office anyway so took the book in a box.  It was going to be something like $25 to mail the book at the cheapest possible rate. The stinking thing only cost $15 delivered from Amazon!  Needless to say, I did not mail the book but just bought another copy for her. 

    UPS might actually be worse. If, for whatever reason, the sender required signature for delivery, and you happen to not sit at home 24/7 waiting for the UPS guy, you’re screwed. There is no way to get ahold of them. You can try their phone number, but you have to input the tracking number by voice (not phone number pad), and does not recognize the numbers. I tried this with three different people (had 3 different friends try to speak the number), using all 4 chances you get in a phone call, and never was able to get past that dead trap in the help loop. Package got returned. 

    This entire post is bullshit. You don’t have 3 friends.

  5. I start hearing a random beep......need to find the suspect detector bitching about a low battery.  Wife is following me around as I try to locate the beeping.  Constantly asking, "which one is it?"  
    Kitchen smoke?  Nope
    hallway smoke?  Nope
    Upstairs smoke 1?  Nope
    Upstairs smoke 2?  Nope
    Now I'm standing under the carbon monoxide detector waiting for that motherfucker to beep. 
    Her:  Maybe it's one of the light bulbs!  

    Isn’t she deaf?

  6. We're running at a $1300/month deficit right now after everything.  Our monthly CC payments have ballooned to $2916.50/mo, mortgage is $1521.86/mo.
    We have 3 kids,  22 year old is the youngest and in school.
     

    Your wife needs to earn more money. She’s supposed to be your partner. Unless she has tattoos on her face, she should be able to find an office job that pays $30-50K/yr.

  7. I’m thinking about getting an Apple Watch, but I’m hesitating because I’m cheap.

     

    How does your Apple Watch help you meet your fitness goals? Does it help you or does it just give you data that you don’t use? Does the pulse/ox matter to you? I think the ones on Amazon still have that feature (which can be taken away at any time with a software update).

    Back on topic, this is the amount of toilet paper she routinely believes is acceptable to leave on a roll without replacing. Now I gotta duck walk across the bathroom for more cause I didn’t do a preemptive check before shitting. 

    Whenever my wife does this I get a roll out of the cabinet, use what I need and put the roll back in the cabinet.

    I like to fantasize that she’s trainable.
