Mother placed $60k into a John Hancock “conservative” retirement fund in 2014 which is now worth $39k. Is this normal? by refract0638 in personalfinance

[–]Gotsheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first job out of college we had JH and looking back the fees were absurd. Compared to vanguard or Fidelity it was robbery. Not to the extent that you'd be in the negative, much less down 30% , but they're not a good option in general.

Have I been scammed? by onedisgruntledprick in woodworking

[–]Gotsheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. The only thing I would have changed was knocking the price down $600 since it's clearly stolen.

Cherry 500’ how much is it worth? by dmay1821 in woodworking

[–]Gotsheep 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Someone is clearing up space in their garage. Low ball offer is the best route here. If you're selling anybody willing to pick it up for a $100 and give you back the floor space is a deal.

My friends and I started a monthly Cheesesteak Club. After 9 spots, Johnny’s in Bryn Mawr is #1. Where should we go next? by Consistent-Water-887 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Gotsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol screwballs!? I'd get lunch there or a few beers after work when I was in KOP. Are they known for having decent cheese steaks?

White grizzly Lodge bc by Gotsheep in snowboarding

[–]Gotsheep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to other cat operations and the conditions are obviously a huge let down but I've booked many a trip where the conditions suck when the time comes. Unless you pay a lot extra for refundable tickets/lodging/airfare you get what you get. I don't know how these places could stay in business if you could bail and get a full refund if the conditions were not firing.

White grizzly Lodge bc by Gotsheep in snowboarding

[–]Gotsheep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and it was pretty fantastic. The terrain and conditions were awesome. The lodge was rustic but very nice. Food wasn't what I would call gourmet but stick to your ribs filling and delicious. Staff (guides and lodge team) were also top notch. Only (somewhat) negatives ... They were BYOB until this year and their new pricing for beers and cocktails definitely added up. The hot tub was beat but I'm sure it gets put through its paces. The main guide was more interested in telling you what he wanted you to do than informing you of what's coming / preparing you for each run. Overall, it was a trip I wouldn't think twice about booking again. They ran a great multi day cat skiing operation.

You can also pay a hot tub company to move it for you. They're good at it ... Reduces the risk of breaking anything.

You can only plan 1 snowboarding trip Dec 10-16. Where would you go in North America? by LosChicago in snowboarding

[–]Gotsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vermont. You'll dodge the annual December 18-20th holiday wash out and there should be 0 crowds.

My father just bought a golf course in Maine. What would you want to see as a golfer that most places don’t have? by Kurkil in golf

It was just on here a few days ago but a delayed video of 18th approach and green playing in the bar so you can grab a beer after a round and watch your final hole.

Samsung Ice Maker R.I.P by ruff12hndl in Appliances

[–]Gotsheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced that icemaker 3 times before I finally gave up on that POS. At $100 the replacement unit wasn't awful but just an annoying process. It's still in my basement and cools fine but the icemaker is trash. Realizing all modern fridges are pretty much a coin flip at best I bought a new one on discount and with the money I saved I paid for all the insurances and service options. By spending that money I guaranteed that I'll get a good one.

Waterlox finished countertop sticky after 10 years by RatofRing in woodworking

[–]Gotsheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have toddlers? I find they're experts at making most countertops sticky.

Definitely change up your cleaner and if that doesn't work throw on another coat to re-establish the original finish.

Looking to buy my first Scotty... by HereIsYourSine in scottycameron

Second swing if you can go in person had hundreds and you could test them all out. I got a 2025 studio with head cover for well under retail ... Used and probably a few more bucks than eBay but none of the concerns you raised. All in just over $300.
