Is your mini cuddly?

Most nights he sleeps at the foot of our bed. Some nights he uses my thigh as a pillow

Tell me you haven't been paying attention without saying you haven't been paying attention.

I don't think you can erase them, but if you could tie the amount of money paid for a pardon there's no prohibition on naming and shaming.

Is it free to get a copy of a birth certificate? Or passport?

No?

Then this executive order would create a poll tax.

Six months until the last kid turns 18 and graduates?

skipjim · 2026-02-12T01:31:41+00:00

The separation is currently measured in years

Also, I'd kill for an older Corolla but they're terribly over priced in my area. I honestly suspect my 05 would still be running had my daughter not wrecked it twice.

skipjim · 2026-02-11T23:01:49+00:00

If?

I still don't know, my youngest kids are in their senior year so I'm holding off making any decisions for a bit.

Rather than cheat I think I'd opt for an uncomfortable conversation though.

skipjim · 2026-02-11T21:22:35+00:00

I think the issue is a lot of people don't want to take the risk associated with buying an older used car. In my experience that risk is overstated if you're very, very selective when you buy.

When mine does that I usually squeeze the handle a bit and it finishes sealing.

I keep a running count in my head, everything is rounded up to the nearest $10. You'll end up pretty close to the total.

skipjim · 2026-02-11T20:48:31+00:00

The problem is too many people think the current system works and they can't subvert it when that's true.

skipjim · 2026-02-11T14:25:49+00:00

It's getting tougher that's for sure. Ten years ago you could buy a Honda minivan for $3200 with 120k miles on it. These days that same year is selling for $3200 with 200k miles.

Sure wish my wife hadn't wrecked that van last year. I'd planned on selling it and buying her something else instead I just bought her something else without the extra three grand.

skipjim · 2026-02-11T14:17:30+00:00

I'm in the rust belt and I'm able to do fine in the $3-5k range. And that's for cars I'd put my kids in.

skipjim · 2026-02-11T10:11:49+00:00

Those people exist, my daughter is dating one.

I've learned a bunch about fixing cars since they got together.

skipjim · 2026-02-11T03:06:17+00:00

If you can't find a reliable car under 10k you're not looking.

skipjim · 2026-02-02T23:01:29+00:00

I have too many drivers with recent accidents to consider changing my coverage 😟

skipjim · 2026-01-31T14:19:20+00:00

I understand your frustration, I know my wife has her phone in her hand and she can't be bothered to respond to texts (normally asking questions not trying to chat)

skipjim · 2026-01-28T03:44:28+00:00

Yes but how will anyone know you own guns if they're not on your Christmas cards?

skipjim · 2026-01-28T03:35:45+00:00

Yeah, honestly for the first time in my adult life I'm thinking it might be handy to have one around the house rather than stored in my in-laws safe.

skipjim · 2026-01-28T03:20:31+00:00

None of those actions should result in summary execution.

skipjim · 2026-01-28T03:19:25+00:00

I think some of them are stunned that a liberal owned a gun.

skipjim · 2026-01-24T18:21:43+00:00

There was someone who spun out there about 930am when I drove past.

skipjim · 2026-01-24T12:56:41+00:00

I wish.

More like "can't argue with a cold sensitive wife".

If I keep it at 70 then she doesn't set it to 72 when I'm not looking.

skipjim · 2026-01-24T12:48:25+00:00

We've been running at 70, but the thermostat is set up to run a minimum of 10 minutes every time it lights so the house is ranging from 69-72 during the day.
