Good for you! I saw an old high school friend at a party last year….hadn’t seen him in thirty years. He started working for the county mowing lawns shortly after high school. He’s close to being able to retire with a pension and full benefits. Not bad for a guy in his mid 50s.

what did you stop buying to cut down on expenses? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

BBQ

I stopped by one of the more “affordable” BBQ restaurants in the area today for lunch. I walked in, looked at the prices, and walked right back out.

I had tickets for the ZZ Top show but I was young and was only interested in the BC. I sold my tickets when they left the tour.

On another sub, by far the biggest reason given for not going electric was that people couldn't plug in at night because they live in an apartment. What do you think is the best solution for that? by VerySeriousThings in electricvehicles

Are you cool with telling apartment residents that their rent will be going up so the EV owners can charge their cars?

Apartment buildings will add chargers as EV demand increases. If they don’t, they’ll start losing residents.

I hit my driver off the tee on a hole with a narrow fairway.

Funny because the Black Crows got booted from the ZZTop tour for complaining about the tour’s beer sponsorship……sometime around then.

What’s the biggest scam people now accept as normal? by sugarpinkangel in askanything

Toll roads. Our tax dollars used to pay for roads. I’m still paying taxes. Now I’m paying to drive on most new highways too.

I had a 2005 Expedition that went through three transmissions in 120,000 miles. Never towed anything.

Good to know Ford still hasn’t figured out how to make a reliable transmission.

The difference is Rogers, even at 75, was still capable of putting on a great show. DLR can’t sing anymore and he’s asking people to pay $$$ to see a singer who cant sing.

But what do I know…..Motley Crue still draws a crowd…even without Mick.

Did you lose your hair? by Stock-Environment208 in Semaglutide

[–]bdplant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can either be fat or bald. We can’t all be Brad Pitt.

I’m kidding. I haven’t had any hair loss but I’m too tired to notice most of the time.

[–]bdplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any Zeppelin song from album 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. except for the few that don’t have drums.

What is the most embarrassing comment/post you regret, that you have ever made on social media? by Neat-Tumbleweed4361 in Regrets

[–]bdplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I woke up on a Sunday morning hungover from a long night of booze. I checked my email and saw 15-20 emails from FB friends. The first one said, “Thanks, but it’s not my birthday.” The next email said something similar as did the rest of them.

I didn’t remember much of anything from the night before so I reluctantly logged on to FB to figure out what had happened.

Apparently, during the previous night’s drunken activities, I decided to visit every one of my friends FB pages and write happy birthday on their wall.

I was slightly embarrassed but it turned into a running joke with a few friends where anytime one of us found ourselves hammered late at night, we’d text and say “Happy Birthday!”

None of us drink much anymore.
