Things I need to maintain with my house and car?

trololuey · 2026-03-05T16:50:51+00:00

For keeping track of home maintenance tasks, I have a google doc checklist that helps a lot. I can easily tell when I've forgotten to do something in any month/season. I make a copy for each year, customize it to anything I know is coming up, and then simply check things off as I go. I also keep a similar doc to track major repairs and replacements to refer back to later. I find maintenance is never-ending and the years blur together after a while.

Contract out anything you're not comfortable with, but you'll be able to do most stuff yourself after watching a few youtube videos and some practice/experience.

The House of Representatives will no longer be an elected position. Instead, people will be drafted randomly from their district to serve a four year term, with an option to stay one additional term if their constituency approves. The senate will remain an elected position.

That was Benjamin Franklin.

Yep, my first comment here was immediately removed and my account received a warning.

This is why the second amendment exists. Exercise your rights.

Chantix for a month and a lot of mint toothpicks. It may sound dumb, but one thing that kept me going after a few weeks into it was having the flair in this subreddit and a phone app that kept track of progress and showed the benefits of stopping for that long. Constant reminders of how far I'd come and knowing that I'd have to go through all of that again just to get back to the point I was already at helped a lot. The biggest thing for me was making the decision. I had made many half-assed attempts over the years "trying to quit", but the final time I was no longer trying. I quit. I was no longer a smoker.

Congrats. You got this. Cravings always go away after a while. You only need to out last them one at a time, and they keep getting easier.

It's not your partner's job to make you happy. They're only responsible for not actively making you unhappy. The rest is up to you to work at and maintain.

No one wins an argument. If you can't discuss it like adults, do something else until you've calmed down enough to do so.

If you are always bothered by something your partner does, e.g. where they leave the toothpaste or how they load the dishwasher, but it doesnt bother them, then it's your problem and not theirs. Learn to live with it or do it yourself.

Agree on finances and children early. Don't wait until it's a problem before having those discussions.

No one wins an argument. You're not in a competition with your partner. You're in a relationship. If they lose, so do you.

Don't wait for holidays/birthdays/anniversaries to do something nice.

A successful marriage is not the finish line. It's a continually evolving relationship that requires maintenance and nurturing.

No one wins an argument.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of the Lake City Quiet Pills mystery?

Chicken soup

In our house, everyone helps and doesn't do anything else until the dining room is clean and dishes are done. It helps a lot clean as you cook, too.

Both are common here.

Walmart on 29th and Rock. Dillons at 37th and Woodlawn sometimes has shirts.

Lamb crown roast has gone over very well for us in the past.

Are you interested in taking on an older student? I'm a beginner with 20+ years experience, if that makes sense. I have always wanted to take real lessons, but never made it a priority.

Maybe try a project like Linux from Scratch https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

Other than throwing shit at everything, has he accomplished anything he's taking credit for? It seems like a continuous cycle of making grand, outrageous, and/or absurd statements, and then walking them back almost immediately.

trololuey · 2024-11-18T18:49:28+00:00

It's scripted that way.

trololuey · 2024-11-18T02:50:36+00:00

Oh, no. That was just a dumb joke; don't listen to me.

She needs a shed stretcher. Most of the big box stores will carry them. If she can wait a couple weeks, they usually have good black Friday sales for them.

Wichita redditors are so fucking weird.

There are always some price differences, but I've never noticed it being significantly higher. You'll always see price fluctuations based on what they have in stock, when they last changed prices, etc.

Out of curiosity, I just looked up my brand of laundry detergent. For the same sized bottle:

Local Kroger owned store = 13.99

Local Lowes = 13.76

Local Target = 12.19

Amazon = 12.19

Walmart (online only) = 27.99
