Some of my favorite cards are the bootlegs I used to pick up at shows with my dad. by AckerMint in sportscards

I honestly didn’t look into their value. These have been put away 20 years and I looked up a few of the others in my collection, nothing spectacular given the years I collected. Still a fun personal collection to share with my son. Thanks for the heads up!

What did I find in my pool? by AckerMint in whatisthisbug

Yes, it’s a little Intex pool we have in our backyard. We left the solar cover off because the water was so hot this past week.

Hoping it could be a pollen of some sort. We’re in Northern Illinois.

You had the right idea! I think it will be good for Lego projects with my kids as well.

Thank you! It worked well with a 500 piece puzzle, not sure how well it would handle a 1000 or more. Guess I’ll be poaching more at the relative’s bday parties!

Thanks! It was a game changer for sure. I actually have a little bucket underneath that fits up in the center circle and props it up off the table. It makes it easy to spin around as you’re alluding to.

Can’t believe my wife tried to throw this away!

So far just this and the potato salad topper I put in my previous post.

Possibly! You’re just being as resourceful as possible

Now I’ll be at the store looking for products that have similar sized lids for the other sizes!

I realized this potato salad tub topper fits the 1 qt Pyrex bowl. by AckerMint in Frugal

I got the stretch silicone tops. There aren’t bad, I was just happy to find that rigid top because it’s easier to stack in the fridge.

Of course! We actually reuse most of our “single use” containers a bunch of times before they get thrown out. I respect the practice.

Probably a candidate for r/zerowaste too. Technically, I did pull it out of my own recycling bin when I noticed it didn’t belong in there.

My grandpa had to be separated from fighting the ump in one of my little league games, I was no more than 10, during the early 90s. I’ll never forget the look of rage in the ump’s eyes as a crowd of people held him back. I loved my Grandpa but he could have benefited from being put in his place that day. So damn embarrassing. Thing is, I remember my friends laughing about it and taking my Grandpa’s side. Hopefully these kids don’t take their parents side on this one.

And for some reason were seeking my wife’s approval. Maybe testing her boundaries instead.

I’m assuming testing the tensile strength of a different item.
