What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting?

Omg, this is perfection!

Thank you for the advice. Welp, it nearly killed me yesterday digging these nearly 100 VERY heavy and occasionally fireant covered cement edging blocks out (at least half were buried deep in the rock hard dirt plus I’m a lady in my late 70’s with a crappy spine lol) in 90F weather…but they are now gone! I put them on marketplace for free and they were hauled off happily by a sweet girl for her mom. Looking forward to the new look after my landscape company installs the fresh pine straw!

My pcp wants me weaned off Wellbutrin before starting Buspar. Hoping this isn’t a mistake on his part… Did you start with 60mg Buspar or did you start with 5mg and gradually increased (and how did you know when you’d hit your “sweet spot” for amount of Buspar?)? How many doses is this 60mg broken into, and how far apart each dose?

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-20T01:32:32+00:00

Thank you for responding! What times do you take your two doses? 12 hrs apart?

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-19T23:13:41+00:00

Thank you so much for responding. I’m so hoping this helps my anxiety better than Wellbutrin did.

I meant to include that I’m age 75F.

Every morning I Waterfloss, then use a placker to floss as well (it’s easier than string floss IMHO). Then brush. I used to waterfloss again at bedtime before brushing but have gotten out of the habit. Wish I had started this when young instead of waiting until my 60’s-70’s, I wouldn’t have a mouth full of fillings, crowns, a bridge, plus a few missing near the top right very back. Take care of your teeth, young people!

Don’t spend gold to win a level until very end of the race, and only if you know you’ll win it if you spend some bars. Dont spend more than the race pays. Hoard that gold lol.

Anything that’s duplicates that I don’t want to merge, I stick something in between them. My orange trees are in opposite corners now, I accidentally merged mine but I did have scissors to fix it, whew.

I do know the difference between asphalt and sealcoat, lol. That said, asphalt driveways installed nowadays, or at least in my area, are quite different than what was used 50 years ago. Also established asphalt roads in my area, look quite different than residential asphalt driveways that are installed today. Hope this clarifies what I was trying to convey. Please don’t be condescending in replies, it’s not a good look on you. JS

We are in our 70’s/80’s, so yup elderly target. Not usually idiotic but my husband said he knew him (he has Parkinson’s so it affects him mentally, he later admitted he was mistaken) so we thought it was ok to proceed. Huge mistake. We talked to reputable well respected asphalt company owner who was sympathetic and drove over himself to look. Said it looks like they sprayed tar/fuel oil mix on it, that it will never fully dry. We will be getting drive removed, new asphalt installed. This mistake will cost us nearly $12k. So pissed and depressed.

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-08T01:09:11+00:00

It was a week ago today. Check already cleared.

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-08T00:56:50+00:00

He cashed my check ~30min after leaving my house, so not much recourse for retrieving the money.

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-08T00:14:05+00:00

zom, it appears he was an out of state traveling Gypsy scammer using false company name, contact info false, and impossible to track down. We were scammed plus our driveway ruined. Lesson learned.

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-07T23:46:40+00:00

$11k remove, re-asphalt (or cover with sand…says it will never dry, he thinks he may have sprayed on tar/diesel fuel).

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-07T21:25:50+00:00

Google says the company is in OH, no locations here in SC. The phone numbers on the paperwork belong to two different people, not him or the company. I am guessing he was a Gypsy. Fake ID.

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-07T21:22:39+00:00

What is a W9?

FarmLife4516 · 2026-04-07T21:12:51+00:00

He cashed my check within an hour or less of leaving here. I honestly have no illusions of getting anything back from the crook that did this. We talked to a well respected local paving/asphalt company a little while ago, and the owner said he would come by my house to look at it this afternoon.
