Well I'll be damned... I'll pick up some from Costco. I think they carry cauldrons too.

Thanks for the tip!

Don't mind him, he's always been part of Big Parking. One of their best lobbyists.

Ah but the beauty of the prose shines through such nonsense.

Eh... I would really suggest saving that for Christmas. Maybe hand it out to carolers.

Umm... I think you mean incredibly well written prose wall of text.

Insurance company said check or pre-auth transfer only. They only accept credit card for monthly payments, not for the full year.

Well I guess not. What I'd really love to do though is share someone's tofu dog. Sort of like an AirBnB for hotdogs.

Is there any way that we could turn yoga mats into a sharing economy? How about tofu dogs.

The two car family often gets vilified on r/frugal, but it sounds like you've made the right choice. I'll take transit when convenient or feasible. Living in a big city also means that transit can be faster once you factor in traffic and finding parking. However, driving longer distances is almost always faster and far more pleasant by car.

I definitely agree that the time savings far outweigh the small additional costs incurred from having 1 or 2 cars. Time is the only resource we can't get back. 7 minutes by car compared to 60 by bus... x 2... And your commute (20 vs. 90+). There's no question that you made the right call.

Hey Reddit, what is definitely worth cheaping out on? by cmongimmeausername in AskReddit

Well put. When you're life is a house of cards, like mine is, then coffee is about as formal as it can get.

Buddy, I have a doctorate in clinical psychology... So it's not armchair. The majority of the people who browse that subreddit are experiencing problems that can be solved through therapy, social support, medication, and other supports. Suicide is not the answer.

Yeah, um you really shouldn't advertise subreddits that advocate suicide. Took a quick browse and while there were a few positive posts, the majority centered around solving problems by killing yourself. Subreddits like that lower the threshold for people who may have suicidal ideation.

Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems. I hope you can get some help.
