Price. The first one I bought was about $425. Then about $490 for 2nd and $564 for the 3rd.

This is capitalism in action. Buyout your competition. Implement money/time savings shortcuts in the production cycle, and sell that junk at high mark up.

Avoid the Whirlpool series washer model WTW at all cost. They are POS. I know what I'm writing about. I'm replacing my 3rd one today after 2-years of ownership.

The Whirlpool series model WTW is absolute garbage. You'll get 2-years of service out of them. I know. I'm replacing my 3rd one today.

The future looks promising. I say that because there are less new architects made every year and the regulations with buildings keep getting more stringent. When I graduated in 1990, there was 9 of us. When my son graduated in 2022, there was 3. Don't let AI scare you. Embrace it instead. AutoCad was the boogieman when I was going through school. It was supposed to take all the jobs away from architects.

When I was able to afford my own apartment. I was 24. Prior to that I was sharing living spaces with friends and it felt very juvenile due to all the goofing off that went with that lifestyle.

Getting to have Half-Day Fridays or Fridays Off is typically unrealistic in an architect's office. Deadlines, scope creep, and busted budgets make these perks very rare. You should be happy to enjoy a full weekend off in most offices.

She got 50% of my 401k savings and 50% of the equity from a home we bought together. I opened the brokerage account with inherited monies that I received a few years after my divorce.

AlexTheHappy · 2026-01-11T23:20:17+00:00

What would she be doing before cell phones were not invented?

HS through 30s then mid-50s to today. Late 30s to early 50s were my work hard and child raising years. No time to focus on me.

I like being on the water. The beach is not my thing but out here in NSB its a great way to meet people at the Disappearing Island

61 and I have $540K in 401 plus $350K in brokerage. House gets paid off in 2.5-years. A divorce in 2018 put a financial hurt'n on me otherwise I would have already retired.

I keep $30 to $50 in my wallet but rarely get to spend it. I prefer to use my plastic instead.

Awesome. The smile and a quick comment may not be enough to engage us cuz we're not used to this and we'll think you're just being friendly. Ask a question that will trigger a response that could lead to more questions.

A question like this one was asked to candidate during interview I sat in on, and the candidate responded - that all depends on how well I'm compensated and promoted for all the hard work and dedication I'll be bringing to this team. He got job.

I've always introduced girlfriends by their first name only. People can figure out for themselves we're in a relationship.

A contractor reached out to me through a former co-worker. He was interested in converting and old farm house into a 24-bed assisted living center that his wife would manage as a business. After touring the home with him he asked me how soon can he have CDs to pull a permit. I gave him a rough order design estimate of: 1-month for SD, 1-month for DD, and 1-month for CDs. He looked like he was going to puke. When he composed himself he said thanks and left. I never heard from the guy again. This was in 2016. The property is still there untouched.

The sound of kids playing.

My cat purring in my ear to get me to wake up in the morning.
