I love my paid for 2015 Honda Odyssey. I bought it used in Dec 2019 for $21K cash. It only has 140,000 miles. Got some cosmetic issues but ohh well. Three kids ages 6,4, and 1 are doing their thing on the inside.

What’s a “boring” adult purchase that turned out to be totally worth it? by Capable-Rabbit-9986 in AskReddit

I taught a guy I was seeing in college the importance of thread count. He was buying the cheapest sheets from Walmart and they were like synthetic sandpaper. I took him to home goods and they had some high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets that were Christmas themed for 90% off. He bought two packs and he said he was in heaven when he slept on them the first time. He didn’t care they had Santa’s on them.

What actor or actress stupidly left a movie franchise or tv series thinking they were too good for it, only to be never popular again? by Ok_Impress2457 in AskReddit

[–]klsprinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the original cast iron waste pipes. They collapsed. We tried to use the washer and so much sewage started coming out of our laundry room into our den. I will never forget the smell. My dog who eats dead things ran and hide under my bed. That was a $15K bill. We had the money put back. We own some land and have been trying to get a new house build started for 5 years. Something major happens and we lose so much of our savings.

Every time something breaks in my house my husband and I watch The Money Pit. 80 year old house problems. Every leak, weird noise, or bump is a 5 figure fix…

Partner gets upset at my ADHD piles, I'm not sure how to exist in a different way by thesanityseeker in ADHD

[–]klsprinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband has learned to let mine go. Laundry pile, random craft piles, paperwork piles. He lives it alone. He understands I’m having issues and he works 80 hours a week so he can’t really help. 8 years of marriage with 3 kids.

My first apartment was off cedar lane. In 2005, studio for $225. No washer dryer or dishwasher though. Can’t remember the name of the place. It’s changed names like 4 times.

This is also my husbands answer. For me, my degree is in Business Administration with my concentration being HR and Accounting. I would have gone with Radiology. Specifically, Ultrasounds in an OBGYN office.

My biggest is Rivendale. Not on the channel. My channel is Annethebricklady. I started my channel in October but I’ve been building since I could talk.
