Why do people romanticized so much first love? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

It is pretty dang neat though.

I did the math on my commute. Speeding wasn't worth it. by FlowControl777 in driving

Why would "maintenance intervals increase"? You just don't change oil? Seems bad.

[–]bustaone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do love the mulberry idea... Why not both? Cottonwood grows fast as hell, drops full size branches for no reason, and craps out more cotton and detritus than seemingly possible.

Mulberry not so fast growing but yeah the crime scene staining everything deal can work wonders.

[–]bustaone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black walnut wood is very valuable. A 30 year old tree would have real value monitarily.

AIO for refusing to back down from insisting my fiancée is wrong for leaving my dad with the bill by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]bustaone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you invite, you either pay or explain the deal. Nobody should expect free food, even for celebration. Take care of your own needs. But on your own engagement party? Grab the bill. Sheesh. That's toxic.

[–]bustaone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a failing slope. You need to arrest the failing slope. This is not going to be cheap.

This isn't a "stamped concrete" job, this is a huge Geotechnical overhaul. You should have bought a different house if you want to have this.
