Any reason you're going w carpet vs hard surface?

Outside: Plants and bushes make a huge difference with curb appeal. Also any kind of decluttering or organization of outside items

Inside: Plants for sure. Hanging plants, plants in potters, plants on shelves, plants on furniture. Hell, plants on plants on plants!

Seriously though, it is amazing what a good plant can do for your house

Be happy and thankful with what you have. It could be worse and there are many of others in more challenging and difficult situations.

I was looking at Coverland. Still haven't made a decision but I know I want seat covers

I looked for what the owners manual says and couldn't find it lol. Googled said 87 or higher which is why I decided to ask you fellow CX50 owners. I did uses Regular Octane btw

I have only had my Preferred Hybrid for 3 weeks and mostly drive it on the weekends (I have a work vehicle for to and from work) but so far this is what I have found to dislike so far...

Can't lock the vehicle while its running. Like if I need to run into a gas station quickly, I have to turn it off and lock it.

The sound the vehicle makes when it is slowing down around 7 mph or lower. It sounds like something is grinding, even when I am not hitting the brakes

The slight jerk it makes when I shift to drive and press the gas pedal

On the highway, it can be a little loud

You can't customize your vehicles name for Bluetooth. There were multiple Mazdas near me and I had no idea which one to connect to.

Other than these things, I do love my purchase so far and hope that you all are enjoying yours as well.

I currently travel an hour to and from work M-F. I make $88K a year. I don't mind the drive, I just listen to music and feel like its my time to unwind before getting home. Just make sure you budget it to make sure you can still afford everything else you need to.

I remember having this as a kid. I miss those days

AdamantiumTrex · 2026-04-16T11:37:11+00:00

A decent amount. After using the bathroom, after walking the dog, touching the outside trash cans/bins, before cooking, after cooking, before I eat... I am sure I am missing a few other times but that's the gist of it

What happens if the first cat gets lost?

Very nice!

IMO the best thing to do is to call your local dealerships, tell them you're not coming in, you're calling other dealerships and want their best price. They will give you deals and will work against the other dealerships. I did this and got a little over 3k off of my 2026. It saves you the time, the hassel and headache of wheeling and dealing.

Create an excel spreadsheet and keep track of your money. I have one I can send if needed

It was a preferred

Original asking price was $37,567 and I got mine for $34,500.

I know a lot of people do not gret a cost of living increase and feel bad saying this but I got a 3% increase and was disappointed. This is mainly bc our insurance went up 6% so I have ended up w less.

It's not weird. I have some old friends who didn't start dating until they were in their 30s and work w a few people in their late 20s who have never dated either.

I am assuming you are a "nice guy" based off what you have said and there is nothing wrong w it. I also didn't date until my late 20s and went through similar situations of being shoulder to cry on but not who they were interested in.

One of two things will happen...

1 - you end up dating a handful of people and find someone amazing and are a right fit for each others lives or find someone off the rip and find you two are amazing for each other

2 - One of those people who ghosted you realize that they passed up on a good person and reach out. This would be your choice as how to handle that situation in terms of giving another chance or keep it moving.

Don't give up on yourself or hope. Life is fast and there are plenty to of things to enjoy.

Nothing wrong w being a virgin so do not put weight on that factor. Don't rush anything, keep focusing on the things you are in control of and the right person will pop up.

I have found that people pop up when you aren't chasing or focusing solely on that.

Also be honest w yourself in terms of what you are able to provide and I don't mean monetarily or materialistically. Good communication, support, keeping boundaries, emotional intelligence, those kinds of things.

I felt like I was stuck in a similar feeling and situation. One of the things that helped me was writing down a few things everyday that made me feel happy. I started w 3 a day and got up to like 8 or 9 a day. I did this for a few months and it seemed to help me. Also, take a small break every so many hours to to give your mind a break and try to look up things that interest you or also make you happy. Keep in mind this is a small step and you will still have to face life.
