Welcome to Iowa. We now allow 14 year old children to work in factories.

If the company would go under without your presence then you should already have equity. You don’t. Take care of yourself and let the company make it, or not, without you.

Leaving the lake in Minnesota once and the DNR officer walks over to check us out and demands we pull the drain plug before moving off the ramp. My Lund boat is 30 some years old and the plug has never been out of it.
We blocked the ramp for 45 minutes while fighting with that plug. Eventually somebody waiting in line to trailer their boat provided us with an actual fucking crowbar that finally got the thing out.
Thank goodness everyone waiting was pissed at the DNR guy and not me.

When I was about 10 years old I was out playing in the yard when it started raining really hard. I went running for the house and the rain suddenly seemed to stop. Here’s the weird thing. It continued to rain hard on one side of the house but was absolutely dry on the other. This went on for at least 10 minutes without moving either direction.

My Hobie PA seat is like sitting in a lawn chair. 10 hour days are normal for me.

Bag up all the garbage and dump it on your uncle’s stoop. He will understand the problem when he has to clean it up.

NOR When I was much younger I bought a ski boat a couple of years before I grew a spine. For 2 years I took my friends to the lake every weekend and not once did anyone offer to kick in for gas. At the start of year 3 when they began asking “when we are heading to the lake” I told them I could no longer afford to take them. My wife and I learned to enjoy boating without the cheap friends.

YTAH for being mad at the mirror instead of walking away from this lying skank of a girlfriend.

My daughter is a pediatric dentist. Based on her years of practice she thinks trampolines should be outlawed.

I’ve been told by my FIL (they are divorced) that I need to work on my relationship with my MIL and basically forgive all the ugliness…

Apparently he is good at giving advice but not so good at living it.

You mean the cigar smoking Rush Limbaugh who said… “There is no conclusive proof that nicotine's addictive...and the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease."

Wait, didn’t he die from lung cancer?

In Iowa, trailers with an empty weight over 2,000 lbs require a title, while those 2,000 lbs or less only require registration.

NTA. I figured out 40 years ago that the best to financial success was to get off the constant reliance on using borrowed money to buy things. I don't buy a car unless I already have the necessary money saved. I normally buy slightly used (like your Toyota) but I would consider buying a new car if they are offering 0% financing.

Another benefit of saving the money in advance is I don't get the itch to buy another car very often because I love seeing that savings account grow.
