re: Have your ever been profiled by the cops?
Posted by monteandmakers on 3/12/24 at 7:31 pm
Yep, in high school we (a few white kids) were at a black friend's house in a part of town where we were the minority. We get said friend’s older brother to ride with us and buy us beer but before we get to the store we get pulled over. “What are you white kids doing in that neighborhood?” “Why are...
re: Beef Jerky Recipes
Posted by monteandmakers on 2/25/24 at 4:49 pm
This one is damn good and packs a bit of heat as is; change up the pepper if you want more or less spice. I leave a jalapeño on the beef as it smokes so it’s kind of cooked into the jerky.

re: Employer Provided Health Plans - Cost
Posted by monteandmakers on 11/11/23 at 7:30 am
$100/month for family HDHP + dental; no company HSA contribution. Annual check ups are free. It’s a great plan and used to be free up until about 2 years ago. I bitched for a bit about having to pay until I came across threads like this. ...

Is moving something you and your family would be ok with? If no, then it’s reasonable to decline the offer(s).
I somewhat forced myself into management last year and almost backed out...
re: Does CBD oil work?
Posted by monteandmakers on 10/26/23 at 10:02 pm
I enjoy it, but don’t think it’s going to make you feel high or stoned. It’s more like that total relaxation feeling when you get off work on Friday afternoon and you have no stress....
re: Anyone have success getting rate lowered with Spectrum
Posted by monteandmakers on 10/3/23 at 6:29 am
[quote]you have to be on hold for like 2-3hrs[/quote]It took me about 5 -10 minutes total. The trick is to go straight to the retention dept and bypass regular customer service. Just say “cancel” to the IVR and it should route you down that path. ...
re: Anyone have success getting rate lowered with Spectrum
Posted by monteandmakers on 9/24/23 at 4:57 pm
Yep, had fiber installed in my neighborhood and called them saying I was canceling and switching to the fiber company. They gave me cut from $80 to $50 and a speed upgrade. The key is to get on with the retention dept, you have to select the phone options to cancel service and they will connect you...
re: Mattress advice
Posted by monteandmakers on 8/6/23 at 9:41 am
I’d recommend buying through Costco if you can because of their return policy. We got the Kirkland branded mattress that is made by Sterns and Foster (medium firmness) and liked it. The wife (no pics) wanted split king so we returned it and got the Brentwood hybrid (also medium) and like it so far...

[quote]If you look a the picture, they are in the sporting goods section. Walmart sells a marine flares. They probably released a smoke flare which triggered the sprinklers.[/quote]
I heard they shot off a flare, it bounced off the ceiling, came down and caught a tire on fire....

re: Bathroom shower tile fell off, has this happened to anybody?
Posted by monteandmakers on 4/6/23 at 8:43 pm
It happened to me, the tile fell and was resting on the top of the door. I didn’t see it, but when I opened the door it scared the shite out of me. Thankfully we had extra tile so I cut a new piece and reapplied it; haven’t had an issue after that. ...

re: Batch cooking, does anyone else do this?
Posted by monteandmakers on 3/12/23 at 6:58 pm
We do it every week, usually cook two big meals on Sunday to eat the rest of the work week. Tacos, spaghetti, burgers, enchiladas, grilled chicken, steak, casseroles, stews, etc. I don’t have time to cook during the week so it’s either prep on the weekend or eat out ($$$) most of the week. I enjo...
re: Payton after signing
Posted by monteandmakers on 2/3/23 at 10:26 pm
[quote]So fricking what? Just be appreciative for what he gave us. [/quote]
I disagree, he signed a contract and should have finished out the contract. Almost immediately after “retiring” (ok, within a few months) he was talking about coaching again. I think he at least owes us a dose of the tru...
re: Jambalaya Girl mix
Posted by monteandmakers on 1/28/23 at 1:52 pm
Oak Grove is my first choice. Rouses was out the other day so I gave CajunLand a try and it was very good. I doctor up box jambalaya up adding trinity (cooked down of course), double the meat, and use chicken stock instead of water. ...

Fair enough, to each their own, but also agree if it’s sold as “new” it better be unopened. ...
re: Mesh System

Another plug for the TP Link Deco system, I have the XE75 Pro (was on sale and only $20 more than XE75) and couldn’t be happier. Very easy set up and have had no issues so far.
One word of caution, not necessarily specific to this product, if buying from Amazon you may get an opened product. ...
