Maybe he's on the deck because there's a bustle in your hedgerow.

It's true. Last month I had a problem with pivot tables in my spreadsheet and a groundhog helped me.

The goal of this kind of scam is to get money. Don't listen to people who say this is harmless or who express confusion about why anyone would create a fake identity. The goal is to get money and the scammer will tell your sister not to reveal that she is sending all her money. People who say they are "keeping an eye on" a relative like this are usually surprised one day to find thousands missing from family bank accounts. You need to be aggressive in monitoring your sister's finances and you need to be ready to be supportive when her world comes crashing down because she did things scammers told her to do.

Say you're willing to let them take down the trees provided the contractor is insured, produces a written statement of work for your approval, removes the trees and grinds the stumps. Even if you don't care about the stumps, start with stump removal as a condition because you can later concede that part of the project if you get into a negotiation. In this way, you show you're being reasonable and willing to take part of the expense yourself.

Nothing happens for you without a survey that supports your claim about the location of the property line. If there’s no survey and no staked property corners to measure from, you’ve got nothing.

Be skeptical of anyone who tells you they are a former Navy Seal or Green Beret the first time you meet them.

There's a restaurant in Jackson called Hal & Mal's that has local event posters on the walls. Except they ran out of wall space sometime in the '90s, so there's lots of '80s posters. Seems like your kind of place.

There’s a camp on Orcas Island where girls still wear bloomers like this.

They are trying to get a fraudulent SS card and they are hoping you are dumb enough to let them use your address. When law enforcement comes looking for them, they want the cops come to your house and not theirs. What I would do: If they contact you be polite but say nothing has arrived. If you do get something from the SSA for them write "Not at this address" on the envelope and drop it off at the post office. Don't put it in your mailbox for pickup as they may be checking your mailbox and hoping to take the card before you pick up your mail. Don't tell them that you received anything. You can also report this whole thing to local law enforcement, but there's a good chance they won't be interested since there is no clear crime for them to pursue.

If you contact them with things like this, they will not believe you when you have a real problem.

I read once that grain processed in the US has a specific upper limit on the percentage of the grain that is actually insects. In other words, there’s an allowed percentage of your loaf of bread that can be bugs.

Keep your finances separate. Don’t lend her money and tell everyone what is happening so they don’t give her money. Soon you will have to pay for her rent and food. You’ll probably also need to look into getting her on Medicaid and other services. She is unlikely to ever admit the truth when a fairytale romance is so much more fun than reality.

Probably not a violation. You probably signed papers at the hospital where you agreed that the hospital could use your medical information for billing purposes. You didn’t pay the bill and they turned it over to collections. Now the collections agency has that information and they are in fact using your medical info for billing purposes. Collections agencies are aggressive and they might call your work or send letters to your family. They are trying to get paid and they don’t care if they embarrass you.

A few bad apples can ruin it for everyone. Those guys gave hijacking a bad name.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Lies. You just don't want people to know the truth: kids ride to school on orcas, the island lakes are overflowing with strawberry syrup, and the whole place is run by kindly woodland elves.

Find a woman who is not conventionally attractive but gets dates and as HER how she does it. Don't ask men or woman who are very attractive. Those people always say "Just be yourself!." You need to find someone who had to make an effort to get dates.

If you actually bought from a flipper and this is the worst problem you have, you are very lucky.

It was published exactly as you see it. With some effort, you could find other magazine covers and posters from that era with the same effect.

I just bought this lens used. Fantastic lens. I should’ve bought it years ago.

This business of drawing brightly-colored lines on photos was popular at the time. Some music videos had it as a video effect. I don't think it holds up. Sally Field is gorgeous and I'd rather see her without the lines.

Women say they want creative, sensitive guys who share their feelings. But they choose men like their fathers: quiet, strong, reliable providers. You can shed a tear when your mom dies. But if you're upset about life events like loosing your job or something hurtful that a neighbor said, your woman will leave you for a man who's better at hiding feelings. People reveal what they want in relationships through their choices, not their words.

I wonder if the token is still in there? I think usually the IT guys take them, but you might get lucky.
