To my neighbor that thought it was okay to mow the lawn SHIRTLESS in a residential neighborhood, I have already contacted the police. This is NOT a beach. This is NOT a gym. This is a neighborhood with families and kids walking around. I don’t care if it’s “hot”. PUT. A. SHIRT. ON. We have basic standards for a reason. Broad daylight. Right out in the open. Like this is completely normal behavior. Have some DECENCY and some respect for the people who live around you. This isn’t that hard. 😡
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
$60 tip on a $585 bill is already around a 10% tip. If the food and service were fine, that’s your call to make. A server openly expecting double that—and saying it out loud—is what made it awkward, not the tip itself.
$60 tip on a $585 bill is it ok??🤔
@BhattiLaib9960 If you want a nice garage floor, get it tiled or have a layer of additional concrete poured over that one. I'm with the contractor on this, it's just a garage floor.
I paid a plumbing company $4,400 to replace a sewer line under my garage, and now my garage floor looks like it lost a fight with a sidewalk 😭
They cut a huge section out of the concrete, repaired the pipe, and patched it back in with concrete that doesn’t even remotely match the original floor.
So I asked the foreman when they planned to stain or finish it so it would blend in better…
And this man literally laughed and said:
“It’s a garage floor, buddy, not the Taj Mahal. Be glad it’s not dirt.” 💀
BE GLAD IT’S NOT DIRT??
I’m sorry, but if I’m paying thousands of dollars for a “professional” repair, I feel like the end result shouldn’t look like a random parking lot patch job.
Now I’m sitting here wondering if this just tanked the appearance — and possibly the resale value — of my garage.
Would you push back and demand they resurface the area properly, or am I overreacting?
In 2018 my health insurance was $180/month.
I never went to the doctor.
Today it's $430/month.
I still never go to the doctor.
Because the deductible is $6,000.
I pay $5,160 a year just to have a card in my wallet.
That I'm afraid to use.
This is America.
@kitchenDIY_ Smell it. If it had a smell throw it away. If it doesn’t that’s oxidation not age. It’ll cook. I’m not washing a stinky steak with vinegar and hoping for the best.
