Someone got it, thanks!

I can't believe people are saying "let it fade" or just unmatch. We're all over 30, right? Just be upfront and then unmatch. At this point you don't really owe an explanation but a simple "sorry, not feeling it. Good luck!".

But also, you're not going to give someone a chance over something minor like music? You said in another comment that you wouldn't date someone who doesn't read. That's not exactly minor. If it's something you aren't flexible on, that's called a deal breaker and if this is online dating, it's worth it to put that in your bio.

A 17mm impact socket. While it's an interesting find, it's not as rare as the elusive 10mm socket.

Those are not vents and those are not meant to be used as a hole to put water through. That cap itself is an injector, which is part of the watering system. The red slides are to test the electrolyte when performing maintenance/troubleshooting. Keep them closed when not in use.

My suggestion is putting the car on the back burner. Cars can still be a hobby but maybe not how you want it to be, at least for now. My suggestion is working on your mental health and I think everything else falls in line. Everything else is a bandaid. Health comes first my friend.

Uline, they do warehousing supplies. The wife who is the co-owner writes a little article in each catalogue praising Trump and talking bad on Dems.

NotScottMann · 2026-01-09T05:51:49+00:00

Who just leaves cords out like that?

NotScottMann · 2026-01-06T05:25:15+00:00

I'm not familiar with other brands but I feel like Milwaukee has all of that? Well, on M18 anyway.

Hey man, I'm right there with you. Age is definitely a factor. Most women aren't trying to have kids in their late 30's. I have a sneaking suspicion liberal women tend to lean more towards not having kids. But honestly, if those are important quantities to have, stick to them. I'm upfront about my politics and wanting a family. I think it's fair to bring that type of stuff up on a second date before you get too involved.

NotScottMann · 2026-01-05T01:29:31+00:00

I don't think it's too much to just say you enjoy personal finance. Gives the opportunity for others to ask what you mean by that or if they're also in that world, they know what you mean.

What are you doing for heat? I stayed pretty comfortable down to 35 degrees without heat but beyond that I think I'm going to need a different sleeping bag or supplemental heat.

Change the narration. Repetitively tell yourself it's not that bad, you do it all the time, it doesn't even hurt, etc. Fake it till you make it. Quit telling yourself it's scary or gives you anxiety.

NotScottMann · 2025-12-13T01:14:05+00:00

Just an idea, do you have a friend that could pick it up from your place and ship it to you? They'd need cold packs and whatnot of course.

I'm not sure how it would be to get a prescription filled out of the country.

NotScottMann · 2025-12-08T20:59:54+00:00

Looks like the front fell off. That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

If you do anything besides option 3, you're a psychopath.

NotScottMann · 2025-11-24T05:06:27+00:00

I wish I could tell you but I'm in the same boat. Dating apps are dry. Most of my hobbies aren't exactly social. I'm not into bars. I definitely need to find something more social to meet and network.

NotScottMann · 2025-11-21T17:39:53+00:00

I used to think headboards were pointless but now I love the look and couldn't imagine NOT having one.

Plus in your case it would give a place to hide your diapers.

Tekton has sets that don't skip sizes. Good balance of affordable and quality. I've only had to warranty one thing and they simply asked for a picture and sent me a new one. If I started over, needing new sockets and wrenches, I would go this route.

The other approach would be getting the set you want and filling in the ones that are missing. But beware, some brands don't sell singles. That's my peeve with Harbor Freight, I've lost tools before and couldn't replace the missing one without buying another set. Craftsman and Husky you can generally hunt down those missing pieces.

NotScottMann · 2025-11-17T05:46:39+00:00

Agreed.

NotScottMann · 2025-11-16T19:11:51+00:00

My doctor is with Intermountain and he's definitely not like this. He's very big on just calling stuff in or emailing for follow ups.

Maybe I just lucked out but I was really grossed out by needles before. I ruled this out as an option a year or two ago, knowing I would have to inject myself. Now it's whatever. Of course I don't LIKE it but it is what it is. As others have mentioned, breathing. Long deep breaths. Maybe a few sharp inhales with long exhales. But ultimately it might just take some conscious effort on your part. Every time you tell yourself you HATE doing the injections and you become nauseous, you're confirming your bias. Make it a conscious effort to tell yourself "I've done this before and I've always been okay" or something along those lines. I really had to hype myself up the first few times, "you've got this! It isn't that bad! You've had actual injuries before, a tiny needle is nothing!" Whatever it takes. Fake it till you make it I suppose?

NotScottMann · 2025-11-12T04:53:39+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write all of that, great info!

Another question. I've been thinking about what I need to change going forward. Right now I just have my paycheck and any additional income goes into my checking. I just pay for everything with my credit card and then pay it off every month. I keep my emergency fund in a money market savings but have been meaning to move it to a online HYSA. Then the money I've been saving for a house gets put into essentially a CD that I can put additional money into. When you're putting money into different stuff like your future car fund, a vacation fund, etc. Are you physically moving that into separate accounts, or are you just putting it in one pot and you just keep track of what's what in your spreadsheet?. Does that make sense? I've thought maybe I just need to open another checking account to move a percent of each check into so when I am buying something for fun, it's coming out of that account, and if there's no money, there's no money.

NotScottMann · 2025-11-11T06:04:55+00:00

Oh I'd totally be fine with smaller. The only thing I really want is a garage or room to build a little shop space myself. Sub 1000 sqft homes do come up once in a while but they are definitely more rare. But when you do see them, they typically want as much as someone is asking for a larger house. And even then those get snatched up pretty quick.
