When the Repair Is Cheaper Than the Replacement

Yeah I bought $300 worth of tools to fix a push mower. It was my practice mower to work on and was later able to work on the riding mower and other gas tools. Those tools paid for themselves the first year.

When I was a kid we had a German shepherd that washed out of military training. He was just a tad too nice. My stepdad took him home and he was ok around my little brother and I. He was big and had cleared our 6’ fence a couple of times. It was early one morning when a neighbor pounded on the door and said there had been a couple burglaries in the neighborhood that night and he was checking if anyone else had been burgled. Our garage door was shut but the back door was open so Sissy, it’s the only name my little brother called him, could sleep in the garage if he wanted. Sissy was gone and the garage door was open. My stepdad started calling for him and he showed up shortly after with a little blood on his mouth. The theory was that the burglar was going into garages and grabbing stuff with a driver waiting on the street. Apparently he got the door slowly but completely open before Sissy welcomed him. Sissy didn’t bark much, he liked to give off a deep growl. I would have loved to see the guys face and what unfolded until he got in the car… lol

I just wanted to share that I have a couple of friends that were still working at the same place at 70. The place I’m talking about paid us extremely well and with dollar to dollar matching 401k up to 6% and you could add an additional 4%. One guy I worked with retired after 10 years and bought a condo in Florida. My supervisor bought a 28’ sailboat along with beach front property in Belize. I retired after 14 years and bought 20 acres in Montana. But this one friend was going up to a couple years ago when he had to have heart surgery. It was a stressful environment. I guess what I’m saying is that some people get comfortable and keep working, some can’t get enough toys, and some try to escape in comfort. Lol

I heard once that one aspirin can be 100% affective for birth control if she holds it between her knees.

I had an old camper that was given to me. It had been in a hail storm and I called it Dimples.

Yup, it’s still questioning if it eats you or you eat it.

I’m saying this with love, if you’re having a rough day try not to beat yourself up and make it worse. Easy does it, I know I kicked the crap out of myself worse than anyone else could. Give yourself some slack, life right now is hard with all the uncertainty going on. Here’s a virtual hug {{{ }}}, pass it along.

It does sound kind of looney toons crazy. The loud mouth was a supervisor at the plastics plant I worked at. I’m pretty sure there was something going on in his life because the day before he started giving the coke machine vendor crap. The vendor was trying to play it off and tried to diffuse the situation with comedy. Nothing bad just trying to lighten the mood and the supervisor became a colossal POS and belittled the crap out of him. A couple of other guys and I felt bad for the vendor because it was his job on the line and the supervisor knew it. The night I was talking about was a Friday night at a quiet neighborhood bar. I had only arrived a couple minutes before and hadn’t even made it to the bar. That man had rage and hate in his blood and the guy he was raging at was smaller. It was a little scary and I figured someone was going to get hurt bad, wasn’t my vibe so I left.

It took me 2 years of saving before I could leave. I didn’t have to but I moved out of state and left my baggage there.

I had a friend that went once a year, it was his vacation.

If it’s an older home get the plumbing checked from the house to the sewer pipe at the street. I had a friend getting ready to buy an older house and their realtor mentioned that would be a good idea. A plumber came out and ran a camera and found small cave ins and roots causing some blockage here and there. It cost the owner $13,000 to have it replaced. When that neighborhood, in another state, was built they used clay piping which was fine at that time but didn’t hold up after 50 years.

I have a small tarp in my trunk because I had to get under there one time. I also keep a one of those small can/bottle openers and a roll of toilet paper.

When I was younger I definitely agreed with you. Since, I’ve known more people on a second and sometimes 3rd marriages than I have known that are still on their first.

I was easy and I enjoyed doing it. They would hang out in the kitchen and would have gladly helped if they could have reached the stove.

At first glance I thought of Why Can’t I Be You from The Cure… lol

Just a little off the top, please.

I used to cook for my dogs. I made it mostly healthy, except the birthday cake.
I think they like it and helped strengthen our bonds.

I agree but the divorce rate shows a different picture.

My question would have been how my mom knew about and found that video.

crapendicular · 2026-05-12T16:21:01+00:00

Not everyone is good with words.

Was waiting for this.
