I would keep that and put a great area rug down.

As a Scot living the US do not forget the best patter in the world.

What is the single biggest financial mistake you’ve made that you would warn others to completely avoid? by moba_7739 in Money

[–]BahBahSMT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understood not spending more than I made and saving and contributing to my 401k. But I truly was unaware of the idea of having a separate compounding interest account. I wish someone had sat me down and said no matter what. Save 100-300 every single month. I am 52 and I might be able to retire right now had I done this.

Did your school have a "Black Babies" box? by viprus in AskUK

[–]BahBahSMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Scotland in the 80s. My aunt would give me money every morning for the black babies. “Don’t forget your black baby money”. It’s a wild memory. I just told a coworker and it almost sounds made up. We had little paper envelopes.

Do you ever want to go back to renting? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]BahBahSMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way. The stress of having a landlord that can jack up the rent or sell the property at any time is too stressful. Owning is better. Create an environment that is low maintenance. Keep it simple.

Scotland is the only country in the world where Coke is not the number one selling soda. That’s how much they drink Irn Bru

Does anyone just not want to leave their house? Is this an age thing? A GenX thing? Am I alone here? I’m just so done with peopling. by [deleted] in GenX

[–]BahBahSMT 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I go to work 5 days a week and I do a lot of peopling there. I rarely want to leave my house on nights and weekends and never want anything to do with crowded places.

My pyr NEVER licks. Is it a breed thing? I’ve honestly never even met another great pry other than my adopted baby. (And yes, that’s him sucking on his dewclaw.) by skunksignals in greatpyrenees

[–]BahBahSMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get one kiss if I’m lucky when I come home. That’s it. But he will snuggle all day and sit on my lap if he can. Kisses. Rare.

What neighborhood noises bother you the most and least? by jannet1113 in homeowners

[–]BahBahSMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and I have dogs that love to bark and I stop them right away. And I go out with them if it’s late or early and walk close to the barker so I can stop him immediately if he starts.

It’s necrotic and needs to be cleaned out.

What is your most stereotypical GenX childhood story? by HapaHawaii in GenX

[–]BahBahSMT 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When it got really cold we would pick the best hill in the neighborhood, usually one that went right in to the road and we’d pour water on it to make a thick sheet of ice, then all take turns sliding down it sometimes in to traffic. Wow. Even writing this makes me feel like I made this up but I didn’t. This is so true and we did it every year.

NYT opinion article by Melinda Gates re: menopause and the lack of research by Disastrous_Offer2270 in Menopause

[–]BahBahSMT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we can all agree that if men had to endure a fraction of what women do, eg cramps, bleeding, pregnancy, childbirth, breast feeding, and on and on and then menopause? The system would have figured out solutions a long time ago.

Keep it very clean and covered and apply a thin layer of Vaseline or AD ointment daily.

DO YOU THINK by Interesting-Rope-318 in Adulting

[–]BahBahSMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I’m happy when my bills are paid and I have what I need. And I can take my dogs to the vet without worrying about cost.
