    Mind telling us which insurer(s)?

    Home insurance is Liberty Mutual and auto is Progressive.

    LM and Progressive must be owned by the same parent company because when I switched my auto from LM to Progressive, I was able to keep all my LM discounts.  At the time, when my kid turned 16, Progressive was a lot cheaper for adding a teen driver.  

     

  2. This morning I was finally on the receiving end of home insurance rate increase butt fucking.  On the 1st, my home insurance goes from $2,420/year to $3,410.  Last month, I got hit with a car insurance increase for 3 cars that went from $4,200/year to $6,600.  I've never had a claim on either policy.

    Fuck all ya'll insurance companies.

  3. We went through the PSAT results and found an online video covering each topic that my kid didn’t get 100% on. There’s a ton of YouTube channels specializing in this. We just searched for “digital SAT prep for XYZ” found a few videos that covered the topic and put it in a playlist. There was even a tutorial on how to use the new online calculator for the SAT. She said it definitely helped because she didn’t really know anything on the SAT that she had trouble with.

    We’ll get the text score next week so we’ll see how it went. However, we don’t care that much because the Colorado schools she’s applying to don’t accept teat scores.

    Did you just scalp the lawn then seed? Did you seed multiple times? I've been considering this

    Nope.  Literally just used a fertilizer spreader to distribute the seed.  It was probably at least 3-5X as dense as recommended since my spreader is broken and is stuck at the highest setting.  I watered it in with the nozzle set on jet spray to push the seeds down. Dunno if that made a difference or not.  It seems to have had a decent success rate.  I may spread some seed this weekend just to make it more dense and hit some spots I missed. The St Augustine was on its last legs and I hope the Bermuda chokes it out over the summer once the heat kicks in.

    I hate my St Augustine so much

    My St Augustine had been near death for two years. I finally said fuck it and overseeded it with Bermuda at the beginning of February.  I didn't prep the lawn at all.  It's already taken over and is a nice dark green with minimal bare spots.  I haven't watered it once and don't really plan to.

  6. I’ve always thought their burgers were middling at best but the Waterloo on Burnet has had great burgers the past two times I’ve gone there. Half pound patty and properly crusty from the flat top.

    Will dealerships knock something off if I pay the full amount with a cashier’s check? Or do they not give a shit because they get their money anyway/make much more off of financing? 

    Never tell them you're paying with cash until you've settled on a price. Act like you'll finance with them.  Then punch them in the gunt.
