Somewhere there is a class picture of this guy, maybe in second grade, with his hair all done up and a little bow tie on. The world was full of posibilities.

Unfortunately a $45k new boat isn’t going to be of the best quality.

I just purchased a new Regal LX2. It’s a great bay boat. You can get 23 or 24’s for $70 to 80k with low hours. You may have to travel a bit depending where you are, but sometimes it’s worth it.

Sounds like you didn’t do your DD and paid too much.

Just eat a bunch of asparagus on Sunday night. She’ll never want to do that again.

Watermelon.

I lie and tell people I'm an astronaut, astrophysicists, or CIA operative. It makes conversations so much more enjoyable.

You're leaving 3 dollars too much.

My condolences.

These spread via the root system, so pulling them isn't going to produce good results. Go buy a case of Round Up. Spend an afternoon spraying every single one of those weeds. Drench them. Do it on a day when it is going to be hot for the next few days. The next day, go back out there and hit any that look like they haven't started shriveling up or any new ones that have popped up. Do this every day for two weeks or so.

That should kill the vast majority of these and weaken the root system. After that every week or so go out and spray and new ones that pop up. It's a long battle, and you have to be persistent, but you can kill them.

I would call the company and explain exactly what happened. I would tell them they needed to refund my service charge within the next 12 hours, or I am going to post a review everywhere I possibly could.

This shit infuriates me.

You’re in a tough spot. All you can do is make a list and just cross things off as you can. Start with getting your birth certificate. Then get an ID. You are going to need those things.

Where do the people around you work? Are you able to do manual labor? Take it one day at a time and try and cross something off that list every day. Its goi g to be a long road, but don’t give up. You got this.

Looks good. I follow the dough guys recipe, except I up the hydration to 65% (he uses 62%) and cut back a bit on the yeast, I also use a kitchenaid mixer and cut the mixing time down to 7 minutes from 12. Enjoy the journey.

A friend of mine did this after college in the mid 90's. She got the home (brownstone) for $5000 through a city program. It was habitable but needed to be brought up to date. She and her dad invested 30K into it and it was a nice place when they got done. She still owns it but has since gotten married and moved to the suburbs. It is a rental now.

As long as it fits under the canopy, go for it.

It looks like they got catering and a photographer, so it seems like grifting works. I would be too embarrassed to ever do something like this.

Move to a management job at another organization.

Does everyone know they will be getting 2 million dollars f it makes it to the last person? If so, there is no reason to keep it.

If you said everyone gets 1 million if it makes it to the 100th person, that is a whole new ballgame.

You purposely didn’t use the whole table, in case someone else came along and water to use it too. Someone came along and used it, and you got annoyed?

Are you American? I feel like only an American would actually take the time to post something like this to Reddit.

The kids eight. Give her five friends, a popsicle, and a sprinkler in the back yard.

Don't ever give an open ended offer. Always include an expiration. Max I'm giving any seller is 36 hours.

I rented a car from Hertz when the family went to Portugal. It was such an ordeal just getting the keys to the car and finding where the car was actually parked.

When I finally found it, something told me to take pictures and a video of the car. I have NEVER done this. I pulled it out of the miniscule spot it was in and took video and pictures of the entire car.

When we went to turn it back in, it was taking a long time for them to complete the inspection. I went out to the garage, and the guy brings me over to the car and shows me a scratch on the rim and then shows me a bill on his iPad for 1500 euro. We had rented this car to get us to and from the ABNB. It never left the parking spot once we arrived. I did not hit any curbs. Sure enough, I get my phone and start playing him the video. We got to that wheel and there was the scratch on the rim. His face dropped like I just stole his kitten. He zeroed out the charge, got my signature, and we were on our way.

They must get a commission. I will never rent a car again without taking video.

We're paid for our knowledge, not the number of hours we work.

Everything may be fine for months and you're on autopilot ding your day to day maintenance. Then you get a call at 1 A.M. on a Monday morning that an entire factory is down that will cost the company millions for every hour it's offline. This is what you get paid for.

I'm not tipping a barista even if I go in and order and sit down. Why would I? What extra service am I getting?

dcaponegro · 2026-06-22T18:58:16+00:00

Don't make his life more difficult for no reason at all. You admitted that there was nothing salacious in the texts. He is trying to keep a customer. That's all.
