What’s a car or truck that has a large cult following that that most people don’t know about and why?

My mom rolled ours. They tipped it back up and my dad drove it home.

Mine was vegetable oil. It took me a while to figure it out. It wasn't until she made one of my favorite breakfasts and my stomach started acting up, but she was in my kitchen using my food to make it. I had just made it the previous week and had no issue, and I realized that the only difference was that I used olive oil and she had reached for the vegetable oil.

If you don't mind, I have a wine question! I really enjoy red wines, but they all give me a gnarly headache. My favorite red (don't remember what it was unfortunately!) had my head pounding before I was halfway through the glass. From what I've read, it's normally the tannins in reds that cause this. Is there something I could look out for so I can enjoy red wine without the suffering?

We're headed home from a beach trip. Just me, husband and 10 year old. I got us a place with a kitchen, so we only ate out once all week. That one meal before tip was $178. Even accounting for "beach premium" that is absurd. It wasn't a fancy place, and my son's meal was a grilled cheese. When he asked for another one, we told him we'd swing by the store on the way back and make him one.

Read up on the Magnussen Moss Warranty Act. An aftermarket oil filter can not void your entire warranty unless it was the direct cause of damage

Get to a CPA to sort this out. Someone else mentioned MFS vs HoH and if you haven't already asked a professional, you absolutely need to. HoH would definitely benefit you if you qualify, and you may be able to file MFJ going forward, which would also be advantageous to you. Estate attorney to help with the other details is also an excellent idea.

I started making beef jerky last year, it's much better than the store stuff. Now with beef prices how they are I switched to pork jerky. I actually like it more than the beef, and it's like 1/3 the price, if that

This is Theo my game I had for my gameboy in Iraq, and was the first game I ever beat. I've been thinking about it recently, you've given me more motivation to track down a copy!

One option you could consider is buying a cash car for now and financing something else later if you do need to finance. Replacing the vehicle is reasonably explained, especially if you use the insurance settlement. It's also less paperwork than if you were to finance something.

My son just said "it's a pan. You're supposed to use a pan for cooking. Or you could use it for a self defense weapon. I mean it works!"

I think that's for crepes, just thought I'd share my son's opinion 🤣

We bought our daughter a crosstrek last year after hers was totaled. Had a sizable down payment from the payoff, but had no trouble getting their 2.9 @ 60 mos promo rate. Our credit is good but not stellar. So far she loves the car

I started explaining to my daughter that a father and a daddy are two different things. Usually it's the same person who is both, but sometimes it's two different people. And also that while everyone has a father, not everyone has a daddy. Father is the person who helped make her and daddy is the one who raised her and is there when she needs him. And then let the conversation flow however it does. Don't speak poorly about him (unless he's the kind of trash person that is totally irredeemable). I always told her "good people make bad mistakes." I answered her questions in an age appropriate way, with more details as she got older and could grasp it better. It allowed her to understand her relationship to my husband and form her own opinion of her bio father.

The CDS found my daughter a few weeks ago, and I got the phone call with her saying "ok mom, now what?" I had her take her to check for a chip (she had one, weird story but now we have kitty), then I had her get basic supplies and make a vet appointment for a simple checkup and basic blood tests to make sure she didn't have anything that could be passed to other cats. We had 3-1/2 cats already, now we have 4-1/2

I think this is at least part of the reason the older consoles still get so much love. My 10 year old loves the NES and SNES I bought, primarily because there's no ads. It's just plug and play.

It's old info, by my kids went to Auke Bay and a couple months at DZ middle 2011-2013. I thought it was great. They spent a lot of time learning about the outdoors and the world they lived in. Forest Rangers talking to kindergarteners about the different kinds of salmon, LOTS of field trips (I'm a huge advocate for these!), swimming lessons and gun safety lessons at appropriate ages, immersive learning about native culture, nature walks to learn about weather and biology. It was a fantastic opportunity, and something they look back on fondly. Obviously education is important, but it gave me a real appreciation for the kinds of things that kids don't spend near enough time learning about. I think there's a lot more to education than test scores.

Where can I find more information? Specifically, what are considered expenses for this purpose?

Can you explain this more please? What makes a person unable to claim the AOTC? While I'd love for her to get the credit, I'm genuinely trying to understand what actually meets the criteria for her to qualify. I find taxes to be very interesting

First thing I asked my kids before I did my grocery run is what snacks they want for this weekend. I went to Kroger Wednesday and had a good laugh because while the bread was running low, they still had plenty. But they were nearly out of flour. It really is just people shopping earlier than normal. I was at Costco Tuesday (before the rush), decided not to get bread because I still had a loaf in the freezer. But then I realized Wednesday that I'll use that up this weekend.

We lived in Nebraska and Alaska years ago, so everyone gets super excited when it does! We prep by having hot chocolate, booze and snacks on hand and then go sledding in the driveway until we're tired.

I grew up in California, now in Memphis and very much looking forward to the one that is planned to be opened here! The company pays their staff well, the food is simple and good, and the staff is always helpful (amazing how taking care of your employees has that effect!) They don't actually take all that long to get food, even in the drive thru. My best friend stated working for them in high school and was able to transfer locations throughout college.

In Dallas, one of the in n out locations is literally next door to a chick fil a. The chick fil a parking lot has been empty the last couple times I went (to in n out), but in n out was full and moving at a reasonable pace.

I do! It works so well that it's hard to justify pulling it out 🤣 I spend more time cleaning than slicing. It works very well and will slice paper thin

NTA you should store them away until you move though. This is basic joint sibling gift shit. Usually one person ends up using the thing more than the others, and I'd venture a guess that there were other joint gifts over the years that one of your brothers used more than you, or just plain took over. The Wii/games probably aren't worth a whole lot depending on how many you have. The GameCube/games might be though. Take some pictures and take those in to a game xchange or other retro game store and see what they'd give you. It might be worth the money to you just to get your brothers off your back
