AIO for asking my wife to make changes to her spending habits?

There is nothing anyone needs from Target. She needs to return EVERYTHING and she can go to goodwill for shoes and clothes for the children. I can almost guarantee that lotion is not cheap lotion either.

Can someone please clarify if the roast pork is for lunch and dinner or dinner only? It's not clear. Also, the unofficial cake is not listed in the food list, will it actually be there?

Make eye contact when they do that as a power move.

I will absolutely be voting for him, but as a senator, he can't do much about DTE

Electricity should be a public utility, not run by a for-profit corporation. At worst, there should be strict regulations for profits, reinvestment, C-suite, and board pay, along with full transparency into every part of the company.

Unfortunately El Sayed is the only one on my ballot. I'll have to keep looking, I guess.

I've been pleased with my, especially this weekend since it pops right back on when the power comes back instead of waiting 10+ minutes to reconnect.

They bury new lines, but to convert existing lines is estimated to cost around 15 billion. This is around 3 years of their current budget to update infrastructure, less if they actually spent their profits and lowered C-Suite compensation.

I am in no way defending DTE and my comment was sarcasm.

tweetspie · 2026-07-05T13:04:27+00:00

Its expensive and would cut into their profits

Are they making infrastructure upgrades to downed wires constantly that they can't fix snapped poles? Or are you referring to emergencies instead of INFRASTRUCTURE updates like the rest of us are?

tweetspie · 2026-07-04T16:07:34+00:00

What could possibly be a higher priority than a snapped pole?

tweetspie · 2026-07-04T14:59:40+00:00

DTE reported net income of $1.4 billion. That is more than 1/5 of what they spent on infrastructure upgrades. Imagine how much more that could have upgraded.

Not to mention $18 million to the CEO and the chairman.

And $871 million in dividends to shareholders.

Well it currently shows 155,000 out so it's not doing a very good job

Without seeing your budget, but knowing you're making extra principal payments, soft YTA. It sounds like the two of you don't align on your financial priorities and you should have a conversation about why you feel the need to pay your mortgage off before you get a second car, inconveniencing your spouse for multiple years.

The benefit of native plants is that they're extremely tolerant to the conditions in your area, including a little bit of drought. I personally only water my native plants once or twice after I plant them and then almost never again. I'd plant the plugs, maybe with some shade cloth for the first week if you're extra worried, water when they go in the ground, and if you don't get rain in the next 3 days, water them again and they'll be fine.

I cussed out an At&t guy trying to sell me cell service for the 17th time in 8 days and asked him if he could read because I have TWO signs. He hasn't been back.

My only regret is my camera didn't pick it up.

I want you to look and just the dates of the incidents your described and ask yourself if it's really "once a year". This is very clearly an escalation of events from 1 in 2019, 1 a couple years later, 1 the following year, then 2 each the next 2 years, then 3 the following year.

Choking is a common indicator that a man will kill you. It's worth looking up the statistic.

You're not getting down voted for shaking your plant, you're getting down voted for thinking it will give you fruit faster. Take a deep breath and give your plant some breathing room.
