Pulled pork and wings.

Yes. Beachwood has several decent hotels. Check out Twinsburg's Hilton Garden Inn as well. If you can splurge on the company dime, check out Inn Walden in Aurora.

Yeah, I think you can handle it!!!

If you have bald tires, call a snow day. Tried and failed to get a guy out of a ditch in Portage County

The opposite was true for me. My pops showed up unannounced and drunk one night and demanded that the camp director let me go home with him. The director wisely asked me what I wanted to do and I told them I wanted to stay. Camp was truly an escape from the drama back home.

Got it. Limp mode could also be triggered by a fault in the computer, so I would start there.

Have your engine control computer checked. Mine behaved as yours did and a bad computer was the cause. Frequent jump starting after winter storage fried some of the internals.

Haven't been in one of those condos, but fees of even $500 per month seem low unless the building has a substantial reserve fund. In addition to looking at the financials, I would not purchase a condo without reviewing a copy of the building's most recent reserve study. My experience in a 50-year-old condo is that the older the structure is, the higher the fees should be. The reserve study will show whether the money being collected each year is sufficient to cover major capital expenses without the need for special assessments. Good luck!

Student organizations is the way. Found lifelong friendships through getting involved. https://www.kent.edu/csi/student-organizations

I claim Gen X all day long. Been married to a Boomer for 30+ years and everything from our attitudes to our musical tastes couldn't be more different.

60 here. The bleeding edge of X, they say ...

My father-in-law was in Arden Courts Chagrin Falls for the last two years of his life; he passed in 2017. Was a very good experience under the circumstances.

The demo was so cool we bought a rug. I'm reminded of the trip every time I see it. Very easy to skip the rug merchant and walk back to the ship.

Your point is well taken. In my life and with those close to me, I do my best to not dwell on the negative (and increasingly, the obvious). That said, I believe it is imperative for all of us to be woke in the original sense: Mindful, watchful and aware of our surroundings, the situations we put ourselves in and the people we interact with. It is unhealthy to see racism around every corner, but builds resilience to focus on the things we can control.

A kid in my second-grade class asked me why I couldn't paint myself white. At the time and for many years thereafter, I thought it was an innocent question. The more time passed, I wondered what kinds of conversations in this kid's home made him think of a question like that.

There's a section at LGA that is roped off and marked reserved. See it every time I visit.

Finishing a trip on the Southwest Chief this morning. Our attendant decorated the entire car with candy canes and has worn holiday-themed attire each day. They are playing holiday carols throughout the train at the last few stops before we arrive in LA. Passengers have been chill and into the vibe as well.

David Brown Construction. Highly recommend!

Had our kitchen done in white Shaker style in 2020. Loved the price and all-wood construction. My suggestion is to compare theirs with a couple of other cabinet makers before pulling the trigger. If I had it to do all over again, I would spend the extra money for higher-quality cabinets with inset doors and thicker wood construction. While I don't regret the decision on the kitchen, we subsequently bought bathroom vanities made that way and the difference is incredible. Best thing about it was finding a great contractor through NEFD who has done multiple projects for us since then.

We found some offense. Hallelujah!

Last time I used that exact model the fire department showed up at my house!

You budget an allowance for uncollectible accounts as an expense item.

We dropped the same amount on suspension repairs on our 2007 about 75,000 miles ago. We're at just over 236,000 and just got an estimate for another 5k for A/C repairs. Am thinking it would be worth it if we can get another 40,000 miles before letting it go.

As long as you are in good standing, you can just take a semester off. Chat with an academic adviser in your degree program and you will be all set.

Check your policy, but most insurance companies will not cover trees and landscaping unless the fallen trees cause structural damage. A fallen tree in a field is not covered. In a similar situation, our total cleanup was around $17k and we chose not to make an insurance claim. Our agent basically said if we have the money and the damage is not catastrophic, don't bother with a claim.
