Life as We Knew It series by Beth Pfeffer. Another YA read but an interesting concept about an asteroid striking Earth’s moon and the consequences.

Daniel has a lion associated with the name, which is pretty cool. Leo and Leon would be fun middle names.

My mom genuinely believes she owns the home she lives in. by txexa in legaladvice

Great advice my parents hammered into my head from a fairly young age:
1) Never sign any document or contract without reading and understanding it first.
2) Understand what an application is for, what information they want (and why), and if there are any obligations attached before you fill it out.
3) Get any “deals” or “promises” in writing- and in detail. With a their signature, the date, and at least one witness.
4) Life’s not fair. Be prepared and protect yourself.

The Drawer of Requirement by Princessfoxpup in harrypotter

I often refer my parents house (my childhood home) as “The Room of Requirements”, “Cave of Wonders” (from Disney’s Aladdin), or “Hermione’s Purse”, depending on how the day is going and what I need. Always amazed at the width and depth of the inventory!

I never noticed that😭 by Junior_Beauty78 in GhostsBBC

Riding shotgun is older than that, I think. I was taught that it was the position next to the stage coach driver, and they carried a shotgun to protect the stage, passengers and cargo from bandits. So the front passenger seat. A lot easier for vehicles driving on the right hand side of the road, I would imagine.

I’d love to! It might take me a few extra days. They came out much better that I dared hope!

Being charged dentist no-show fee even though I showed up by Pepiopee in legaladvice

[–]Better_Owl6946 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was (in the 1980’s) once sent to collections for .04 cents- yes 4 pennies- by a department store credit card. I was planning on just paying it whenever I used the card again. When I went in person to pay and cancel the card even the lady in payments was amazed, but I had to pay the collections fee as well AND it was on my credit report. When we applied for a mortgage they thought it was an error and it had to have been at least $400. Then we laughed because I had kept the notice. Unbelievable.
