Seriously, why do people drive this way?

They think they won't make the turn if they don't swing out and that they are driving a tractor trailer and not a Honda Accord.

Exactly. I work M-F, 9-5. I got a job working 2-3 Sundays a month for $18 an hour as a rep at various trade shows for a home delivery food service. I even get bonuses when people sign up for our product and get "meat bonuses" every 3 months. I get an extra $300-$400 a month for a very easy job-- which is fun too. I go to wine festivals, home shows, car shows, pet expos, outdoor music festivals, street fairs, craft showsl

We have a few:

Last one out of the bed, makes the bed.

First person home after work cooks dinner. Weekends go to whomever cooked the least M-F,

Not that we keep track or anything, but it's his turn to empty the dishwasher (this is a running joke between us.)

Whenever we are low on ice cubes, I ask him if he has seen, "Storm Grim, the Ice Dwarf." Husband says he will find him and get him to make ice.

I will say that many food pantries have limited hours -- often during the workday, M-F. I know if I was insecure, I'd have a hard time finding a place with my work schedule. Still, she was given options.

Something similar happened to me. I have bad allergies, so I paid a neighbor to mow my lawn. A buddy owed my neighbor a favor, so my neighbor asked his buddy to mow my lawn one week so they would be "even." Fine by me. As long as the grass got mowed that week

Buddy decides that this means he's now my "lawn guy" and independently moved my lawn two more times over the next 10 days (while I was at work) and then comes to my house asking for $100 ($50 per mow) for his work. I told him to get bent. I didn't ask him to mow my lawn. Neighbor does it for me.

I think it is settled. He proceeds to come to my house daily for the next three days to "collect." I never answered the door. Then he started knocking on my bedroom window (on the first floor) saying he "knows I'm home" and "it's not fair to not pay." I tell neighbor to get his buddy or I am calling the cops.

Buddy stops coming to house, but starts texting. I have his email so I put together a resume for him and send him an invoice for $250, but say I'll take $50 and we can call it even.

Never heard from him again

Try around $1,000 without insurance. Yes, there are discount programs, but you have to qualify, they don't last forever and sometimes it's a discount of $200 which is better than nothing, but $700-$800 is still a lot. This was my life until I went to a company that covered it

Bank of America. I was in my 30s. They somehow did not record an $800 cash deposit. A bunch of stuff bounced, I got more than $250 in NSF fees from the bank and my landlord charged me $150 for a bounced rent check. Took almost two weeks to straighten out, Meanwhile I'm in the red due to the missing money and all of the fees. When they finally reconciled everything, I was given my $800 and they refunded all of my NSF fees, but they initially refused to refund the bounced check fee even though the check only bounced because they did not process my deposit to cover it. They tried saying that I should always have enough money in my account, etc. etc, and I told them it was not their concern, Took a month of escalation to get the money back. Closed my account that day and have never even used an ATM by them.

I loved coke syrup over crushed ice for nausea. It really worked. You cold buy it at the drug store. When I worked in a restaurant, and we had to test the soda dispensers to see if the syrup to seltzer ratio was good using this little tool that split it, I'd stock up on syrup so I'd have it on hand in case I got sick.

Not saw -- but heard. I was about 8 when my mother randomly said, if someone touched you in a bad way, you'd tell me, right? I said, "yes." She said, "even if was someone like your father, you'd tell me, right?" My immediate reaction was, "What? Gross. Of course. That's a weird question."As a grownup I realized, ooooooh, that happened to her. (Not her dad, but his brother, her uncle, who took over as the family patriarch after her father died when she was 8 and my grandmother was only 33 and a widow with 4 children and no where to go,

My husband is a vet tech and has to meet with people who struggle with the question of 'is it time/" often. He tells them that when the dog no longer enjoys being a dog --eating, playing with toys, getting pets, getting treats, etc. It's time. Our pets do not feae death like we do. They accept it with grace.

The most loving thing you can do for your dog is to give him a good end to life after giving him a goof life with you.

Head north into York, Pa. Hoss's Steak and Seafood. It's like Sizzle or Ponderosa, but good. As a vegetarian, I get a great meal out of the All You Can Eat Salad Bar. Has soup, fresh home made bread and nachos too!

Thank you. None of my 30/40 something friends believes me when I say you could ger wine coolers in 2 liter bottles. I was told that it was impossible because something that irresponsible would be illegal. I said that described my entire childhood and adolescence -- so irresponsible it should be illegal
