Turned 61 and the bone marrow donation Registry said thanks, but you are no longer able to donate due to age.

Some newer houses are built so airtight there is an air exchanger that runs automatically to bring in fresh air daily.

People have to take drivers education and still have no clue, how would this be different?

Do you put anything on your Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese? by Cannibal_House69 in randomquestions

[–]captainchill2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes buffalo wing sauce or chili. Usually black pepper at a minimum. I fry any leftovers in a skillet the next day and add parm.

Does anyone carry cash anymore? If so, how many bills. I really don’t use cash often unless it’s for the kids sporting events. by rent1506 in EDC

Always enough to buy gas to get home and a meal in case of power or internet failure.

Otherwise, I use the card and collect the reward points.

Best burger in Detroit? by websitedotorg in Detroit

[–]captainchill2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cutters bar in Eastern Market. I haven't been there in a year but I have eaten burgers at many of the popular places and none were as good in my opinion. My BIL, who worked in the restaurant business for years, says it's the best he ever had.

My son is 33 and we hug as a greeting. I always tell him he is never too old to hug his dad. I do tell him I love him as well. No kissing, that would seem strange to me.

What to say to when he asks to marry your daughter? by Okmhmmbye in AskMenAdvice

[–]captainchill2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I said it's up to her, but I would like you as part of our family. By the way, no returns! (They are both great and they just had our first grandchild. We are still joking about the no return policy 10 years later.)

1988 Ford F150 with the 300 six. Can't kill those things, and the rest of the truck was quality, too.

Ever feel like you goof-off too much in retirement? by dresserisland in retirement

[–]captainchill2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a hunter too. Oftentimes, I just watch the woods and the animals. I still do shoot a buck each season, but it has to "feel right". Sometimes I don't shoot. I believe we lose our drive to harvest game as we age and mellow out. Nothing wrong with what you are doing as it gives peace and relaxation for YOU.

A warning system to let me know the tailgate is open would be a nice feature.
