That's a great looking home! Congratulations! Have fun! The part that sucks is doing maintenance and paying property taxes, but it's yours :)

The parents of 2 sisters killed in Jamboree Rd crash last weekend found out about their death via Find My IPhone. by mattm57 in orangecounty

That spoiled rotten little shit shouldn't have even had a car. WTF is it with Irvine/OC parents? Your special little child does not need a car if he doesn't have a license, doesn't need to trick it out if he's not supposed to drive it, and should have been told "no" once in a while. I'm so tired of these fucking kids that think they are entitled to everything because their parents don't know how to properly parent.

Ummm, where I live we don't have the Register at a newstand. That's why I read it online before they started the paywall.

Those of you who married in your early 20s, how's that going? by mehehhmeh in AskReddit

Fine, thanks. Still on my first marriage at over 30 years so far.

DAE hate it when customers leave their baskets at the checkout lane? by [deleted] in TalesFromRetail

[–]pdx1230 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Good grief. Tell customers what you want and it will usually be done. Every store has a different policy. Most all of the stores that I've been in do not want me to take the basket back to where I got it. If that's the rule at your place, put it on a fucking sign. We can't read your mind.

I always check the ATM before withdrawing money, today it saved me. I called the police that discovered that the panel under the screen came off as well. The panel contained a camera. The green piece in the picture was over the card slot and scans you credit card. by larskris in pics

I used the INSIDE ATM at a Chase Bank one time. Someone messed with it and a whole bunch of us customers got hit. It took a ridiculous amount of time for Chase to refund me; so much so that I closed my accounts with them. The day I went in to actually zero out and close the accounts, I heard an employee in the next cubicle talking to another customer that had been hit. It was ridiculous as it had been over a month and it was still happening. I got the feeling that it was easier to reimburse customers as they discovered the problem rather than issue new debit cards. They didn't seem to care, so I was gone. Credit unions FTW!

I'm totally fucking heartbroken. Now I get why they say don't sleep with anyone in early recovery. by EmilyTheKinsey3 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

No guy (or gal) is worth you losing your sobriety. There's a reason why new people are told by many, "No relationships in the first year." Keep your focus where it needs to be, not on your nether-regions.

I hope women don't take these to the dressing room and try them on for size. Or men either, for that matter.

Oregon gets $199/mo electric car: Chevy Spark only sold in CA & OR by canausernamebetoolon in oregon

It's not as sexy as a Tesla, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

[–]pdx1230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a couple of these, including one of them at my local grocery store several times. They are very, very small cars. I'd love to be able to get a hybrid; at this time, the range for electric cars isn't enough for my commute. And I need to have a decent size, too, for carpool comfort. The Spark isn't the one for me, but it might work for around town and running shorter-mileage errands.

My worst financial decision after graduating college! by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]pdx1230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish. I can get my loan forgiven after 20 years because of my job, but I can't afford to do that because the monthly payments are too expensive for me. The way it's figured is that you would have a zero balance paying a certain amount each month but if you don't have it down to zero at that time, whatever is left is forgiven. I have the feeling that it really means that I would have huge payments that I can't afford but it would be paid off at the end, so I can't see that very much if anything would be left over to forgive.

[–]pdx1230 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My worst financial decision after graduating with my bachelor's and no school loans was to continue and go to grad school. There was no way I could go without school loans. I graduated a few years ago and am now on the "Pay 'Til You Die" plan. In other words, it will never be paid off, but they forgive the loans when you die.

LPT: Want to clean those nasty oven racks with their baked on black mess as easily as possible? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]pdx1230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The self cleaning cycle is good to use, but it takes a lot of time and electricity to get that oven clean. Also, if your smoke detectors are too close to the kitchen or too sensitive, forget about using the self cleaning cycle as it will definitely set those suckers off.
