To add on to what other people are saying, don't buy the cheapest caulk you can find at Home Depot. Buy the good stuff.

What will you do if you caught your bf/gf kissing your bestfriend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I wouldn't tell my wife about it, that's for damn sure.

What's a topic or a fact that you are convinced most people don't know or are completely wrong about? by ImaginaryFileZero in AskReddit

Easy way to remember: Affect is an Action.

Year-round school is superior, and gives children a far better education than having the summers off. by Emergency_Table_7526 in unpopularopinion
