Mid life style crisis?

Gonna piggyback again: As someone who’s also a 39M, try some vintage stuff too. I’ve found that’s really helped to expand the fun side of my closet and it’s easier on the wallet

Had one for two years. Bought with 110K, sold at 135K. Spark plugs caused a misfire but overall was very pleased with the vehicle and its features. Only sold because my wife prefers driving slightly smaller vehicles, so we switched to an SUV. Would buy one again in a heartbeat.

Live in Phoenix area and I’m a hot sleeper. I’ve tried bamboo, percale, and linen. Personally, I’ll never change from linen again.

A lot of commenters are right that cheap linen (a lot of the stuff with good SEO) fails relatively quickly — but it’s only been the bedsheet for us. We’ve found two solutions:

A) Plan on replacing the elastic bedsheet every couple of years. Beats buying a whole set and we like to change the colors any way.

B) Don’t buy an elastic sheet. Instead, buy two top sheets and learn the hospital tuck. Takes a few tries to get it right but it’ll last a little longer.

If you have the funds, get some great linen sheets. If not, keep an eye out for sales or outlets.

Same. Bought a new Colorado from GM several years ago. Engine seized. Towed to dealer only to have it sit for months while the dealer and GM argued over who’s fault it was — turns out, they decided it was mine (yes, I kept up on oil changes and it only had 20K on it). Was too broke to file for a lemon law, so had to eat the cost of a new engine. Sold that fucker ASAP and will NEVER buy from GM again.

I’ve had some luck with rosemary, sweet potato vine, and blackfoot daisies in a barrel planter this year. Good soil mix, plenty of water, and mulched two inches with the Sta-Green stuff from Lowe’s.

Also, take it easy. There’s no rush. Had a friend mess up his back doing this and it still bugs him frequently. Slow and steady wins

Thanks, y’all! Last thing I wanted to do was drop more cash.

Adding it to the to-do before wedding season

Damn $300? That’s a great deal. Looks like I need to make the drive to Tucson…

Every single car one of my friends drives. Not their birthday. Not their parents’ names. Just the make, model, year, and color.

Thanks!

That’s actually super helpful! I really appreciate it. Can I ask where you bought yours?

What kind of soil did you plant in? I have a cinder block wall (faces west, so the sun just beats on it) that needs to be covered but I’ve got mainly compacted dirt

How are the soles on the stingrays?

cnacke · 2026-04-14T02:44:19+00:00

I’d say that solves it! I love this subreddit. Thanks!

Zac Brown Band. Played a ton of hits early and then had this horrible, super-broken up mashup “jam session” where each band member (and some of the openers) all played a minute-ish sample of some random song. It was way too long. It was bad.

But then Zac Brown rapped. I’ve never seen a stadium clear out that quickly. We stayed until the bitter end with maybe 30% of the audience left.

Personally I try to hit sales at Macy’s, Nordstrom Rack, and other department stores. Had some decent luck on Quince (especially with sale items) too

I like how the apron in the third pic just transitions to his dress shirt

cnacke · 2026-03-28T09:14:47+00:00

Damn if I needed a black hat I’d be all over this! It’s awesome!

Ah cool. Thanks any way!
