  1. This. got a good old belly laugh out of me
  2. Phone calls to a crying family?
  3. That figure is going to plummet assuming you keep up a similar usage. I completely underestimated the expense of getting a second set of stuff and furniture and am frankly scared to sum it all. LOL. All that said we have really enjoyed and are glad we have bought our place.
  4. Which literally everyone knows about... I guess it being in black and white is worse??
  5. what a joke. There are some serious efforts to obfuscate this thing going on.
  6. I have honestly had moments of pause when continuing to buy VOO and other Vanguard or Schwab index funds. If one of those institutions failed...
  7. One problem, per the article, is they are both being paid by Disney. Look, Its a gossipy piece of literature that was in the "sports" section of Google news as I was wasting some time this AM. Maybe that was fed to me because I was on this thread earlier today...??? I don't really give a shit about Rodgers or Kimmel. I actually think both are clowns. Hopefully they stay at each others throats, or not.
  8. wait, you think Jimmy Kimmel is "middle America"? lol. Sure he came from beer chugging, chicks in tight clothes jumping on trampolines "man show", but he has done everything he can to distance himself from that time in his career.
  9. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jimmy-kimmel-hints-at-potential-lawsuit-against-aaron-rodgers seems like Jimmy Kimmel gives a shit.
  10. Why wouldn't they put a new airport out by Nellis? Primm, my God that's fucking ridiculous.
  11. Anecdotally. This year I went to my first NFL game in probably 10 years. Saw very little aggressive bro bullshit. I hope its a trend because I wasn't at all interested in attending, but got dragged there by my family so my son could see his favorite team for the first time. edit** maybe attending with family in tow lessens the frequency of being around the issues. I drank less than I would of in my earlier life, no that I was a problem previously it just dawned on me maybe its partially my life situation.
  12. REI has a narrow supplier base and they all said, "we aren't taking this shit back". Costco and WalMart have extremely broad supplier bases and if Vendor A for fake Chinese Christmas trees won't eat the bag of shit on "defective" trees then Vendor B probably will.
  13. Make no mistake those returns aren’t being borne by Costco or any other retailer. Those costs are deducted from payments to the manufacturers. Costco and Walmart are well known for bankrupting small unsophisticated manufacturers with the practice.
  14. Obligatory: I am not a mental health professional, but I did stay at a Holiday inn.... It most certainly has to do with the divorce and probably is being reinforced(fulfilling emotional needs) by both your son and ex-wife. As you acknowledge there will be blowback in attempting to deal with it. I would guess she will lash out at you and try to blame you for the issue you're trying to deal with. Frankly, just raising the issue will probably be enough to plant the seed in your son that he is becoming a man and it's time to move on from things that were acceptable when he was a few years younger. Avoid a knock-down drag-out over it.
  15. Puberty is a weird time in life for sure. I honestly don't recall the exact age when I started pulling one out. I have been prepping the wife(only has sisters) since our son was born for the reality we are going to be dealing with. Kids are resilient though, probably best handled with some discretion but firmness.
  16. 13 thats somewhat concerning. Hopefully, your son is on the later puberty track. I have seen some 13 year olds at my kids school (going by grade, not confirmation of birth certificate) that had five o'clock shadows. Others look like babies, its a transitional age for sure.
  17. post/avatar relationship is pretty, pretty good
  18. Caught RSV from my son over the holidays. Tested positive at Urgent Care because I thought I probably had strep throat because daughter was just getting over that. Had Covid again back in OCT. RSV was worse for me(anecdote alert) Children are quite effective disease vectors.
  19. That series was an absolute gift. Washington fans should be pissed score here and it’s game on
