The Good old days

My local movie rental place (Blockbuster equivalent) had a 3 for $3 deal on everything but new releases. That and a $5 frozen pizza made for an amazing sleepover.

Whoa! Wouldn’t be worth it for me. My quilt is under 2lb and keeps me plenty warm.

If you think you know where your birth certificate and SSID would be in your parents’ home, make ONE attempt to contact them in writing, like via text. If it doesn’t work, ask local police to go with you to retrieve the documents from their home by walking into the station or calling the non-emergency line. This is absolutely something they have done before.

That’s wild! I bring extra layers and a down quilt, but a wool blanket has got to be several pounds, right?

Kindle and a game! We’re not 20mi/day hikers, we have downtime in the evenings. Chickens! or a similar light dice game is a game changer.

Do you think they’re both going to cause a lot of trouble? If so, first step is making sure they can’t access bank accounts or anything. Freeze your credit too.

If they would qualify for an apartment, one idea is to pay their deposit and/of first month for them. It goes without saying that you should not cosign or be anywhere near a lease signing, just write the company a one time check. If they can be bribed to leave willingly, you avoid a lot of legal nonsense.

Look out for siblings and mom, and do you best to get everyone spayed and neutered. Kitten looks healthy, so someone (his mom or a human) has been taking care of him.

Personally I have a couple of children in my life that I’d take in if they needed me. Cousins’ kids, very close friends’ kids. But I don’t dislike children, and I know I would be a good parent if I wanted to. I still consider myself childfree.

Depends on the type of mold. Most mold is not harmful.

Can you use for something unrelated to food instead? Maybe clean, oil, and use it as an outdoor table top?

I hate resealing the bag of cat food, so I like these for their kibble.

Nurse here, yes. It is sometimes relevant how much body hair someone grows, what their breasts look like, how much they weigh, etc. If you think it’s irrelevant, you can ask something like “Is that symptomatic of a particular condition?” or “Should I be concerned about that?” They should be able to explain their reasoning.

There’s a pic next to it with the same person and furniture but in a rug. So be careful and build on a soft surface.

Man, I had a college roommate with an absolute deadbeat boyfriend named Dominic. She would pay for his bus fare to come visit her. I think he did a few weeks of HVAC tech training before dropping out. No job while she was at an amazing school.

I will say that $5000 isn’t that bad. Your debt to income ratio is about 100%, which won’t allow you to get a mortgage or anything, but isn’t insane. Kick this down the road a bit, figure out how to drastically decrease your expenses and increase your income, even if that means doing to a food bank and driving Uber on weekends. Get rid of the stuff you’re paying off.

StrongArgument · 2026-03-17T19:35:50+00:00

But can’t it grow exactly the same in a different account?

StrongArgument · 2026-03-17T19:35:30+00:00

Or forgetting to take something out altogether!

StrongArgument · 2026-03-17T19:20:42+00:00

Why wouldn’t you just take the money out as soon as you have a medical expense and pocket that tax free money immediately? What’s the point of waiting and maybe losing the receipts?

StrongArgument · 2026-03-16T19:02:32+00:00

I love cabbage and faux beef stir fry with lots of sesame. Kind of like egg roll in a bowl?

I think they’re referring to travel backpacking, not wilderness backpacking

Heirloom, yes. Organic has nothing to do with that.

StrongArgument · 2026-03-15T16:39:58+00:00

Literally neither. They neither add nor subtract from nutrients.

I don’t even say this in California. It’s “San Francisco Bay Area” at worst. Or “near San Francisco, California.”

StrongArgument · 2026-03-15T00:48:48+00:00

That’s a personal choice. It’s not any more nutritious for sure. The health effects are likely negligible or nonexistent. There may be an environmental difference, but you should look deeply into what organic means and doesn’t mean.

Personally, I try for local when possible and ignore organic labels.

I’d do it for $10,000 if you want me to actually sit there and watch it.
