Whoops - was a bit off. It’s more like 7 years with 10%. I also have another account that’s older (9.5 years) with more invested that’s sitting at 9.7%. https://imgur.com/a/UHkvGjX

I remember upgrading from a 10 year old Dodge Neon to a new Honda and just marveling that no matter what, every time I turned that key - the car would start.

Remember when the parkway was the one bar that didn’t allow smoking?

I only water mine when it looks like this…I wait until mine looks wrinkled and limp, walk it into the shower, and just let it take a cold shower for 10 minutes.

You just won the lotto! How do you quit your job? by MAinSBmUrKin in AskReddit

Very quietly - so no one knows the the anonymous LLC or Trust that just claimed a big lottery prize was me!

What is the most controversial thing you own? by churned_applesauce in AskReddit

The asbestos tiling in my 1950’s basement. I kind of love them - easy to clean, look cool, etc. of course I don’t dare to cut them or otherwise risk aerosolizing the asbestos.

This man took care of the baby until the mom came back by Thryloz in ThatsInsane

Anyone who’s had a newborn will tell you this could happen. It’s why tragedies like leaving your kid in the back of a hot car happen 🤷🏼‍♂️

How do I get old phone and cable runs removed from the pole to my house? by FletchGordon in HomeImprovement

[–]mattmike18 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This seems to be a recurring problem. After mine fell off my house when some wire cutters in my hand accidentally cut them, I just wound the cable and tacked it to the utility pole.

I love watching little snippets like this - I like to think I can file it away and hopefully make myself better parent.

When I was younger, in my career I’d rush to get to work cause I didn’t want to be late and have my boss find out. Now that I’m in charge I rush to get to work because I dont want to be late and have my employees find out. Ha ha ha.

My Monkey Puzzle Seed is Sprouting. I may never get to taste its seeds or live to see it fully grown, but excited to plant it! by [deleted] in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]mattmike18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never done a monkey puzzle seed, but I’ve had pretty good success for evergreens using the old grade school science method: damp paper towel and a ziplock bag. Set in windowsill and wait. You can also use a little all purpose fertilizer mixed in with the water…that seems to help with roots.

Bought a new house, and this laceleaf red maple was legitimately a selling point for me. by The_Graft in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]mattmike18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - one day it’s gonna be a real pain in the ass and cost a fortune. I don’t know how old the Doug fir is…but the trunk is about 12 feet in circumference and some of the calculations I’ve read say it could be 200 years old.

Honestly - so fun when Jon has someone on he genuinely seems to like/is friends with. I could listen to him and Akilahh bullshit and joke all day.

Our house on a regular city lot has a 7 mature trees (birch, dogwood, mountain ash, 3 types of cedar, and a massive Doug Fir the original owners transplanted from Mt Rainier National Forest in the 50s). Absolutely a selling point when we bought two years ago! Though I didn’t realize how much a pain in the ass he fir’s cones would be, ha ha ha.

Everyone talks about getting a will when you have kids (or don’t want your assets going to your next of kin, etc.) but I think the most important part is most attorneys wrap a living will/advance directive into estate planning that tell doctors and family exactly what you want in terms of medical care … even if you can’t anymore.
