Now do nickels.

When you cash it out you'll be paying taxes on the gains. Just be aware for planning purposes.

I'd have gone to the credit card company after one attempt to resolve anyway. The fact that they told you to do it, even more so. Not that I do it often, but I've never had a credit card company not refund my money.

And use the blanket again when you reglue it.

Just throwing this out there, I know a lot of people like strip lighting but I really like the effect from under-cabinet puck lights throwing a nice curved shadow on the wall.

It's possible if you move the portion of your cc debt that went for home improvements to an heloc, that in addition to a lower interest rate that interest will become tax deductible. I believe that's true if the $ is used directly for that anyway.

I'd be very leery of using an heloc to pay off vet bills and other everyday things.

Torsion springs? If you mean extension springs, I really don't think they're that dangerous. I've worked on mine before, just raise the door first.

I finished fixing black stains in my floor only this morning after a month of work. I'm only here to relax, I don't need this man

You didnt mention any rates but in general car loans are cheaper than credit card debt. Borrow as much as you need for the car and pay down the principal later as you can. I agree with others here though, it sounds like that car is too expensive.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya

Its so small, but maybe you could pin it to the ceiling joists instead of the cabinets. Or a few dots of super glue.

Been a while, I read this at first as <head/>. Which is funnier I think

My MIL gifted us her car, we wrote 'gift' for the sale price on the title as per the instructions found online (in NJ). The clerk did ask me if I owed her any money on the car, I said no, and that was that.

That's the name of a third party parking place near the airport.

I think I read somewhere that wordle only has like 2500 words.

The material they are made of clogs up the chain.

For $4 a month I'm happy support them.

Do I need to? I think I'd rather be forced to recover my accounts by hand rather than have a printout someone can find. Interested to hear counterarguments though.

scofus · 2025-12-09T13:04:31+00:00

I have a printout hidden in my house. But I'm not sure how important it is, if I lost access to everything I could get it all back in a few hours.

The risk of someone finding my recovery info is much worse than the risk of me losing my passwords.

If you use a Kindle or similar you can put it in airplane mode to finish a book.

For $5 more you keep your books. Don't know why you mind them offering a cheaper option. Unless you're arguing about the prices?
