re: How many people have gotten 15 years out of a car/truck?
Posted by cheobode on 5/8/24 at 9:45 am
2000 Ford Expedtion. To be fair, we've only had it 14 years but we bought it in 2010 with only 44K miles from an older couple. It just hit 200K. We don't drive it as much now and only use it as a backup....

re: Does Money Truly Bring Out the Worst in People?
Posted by cheobode on 5/6/24 at 12:47 pm
My FIL is a greedy old man. I once borrowed a gallon of gas to finish cutting my grass and the guy texted my wife asking about the $3 I owe him. I've always told her that if he ever won the lottery and were giving each of his kids $1 million, but you owed him $20, you would end up with $999,980....

[quote]What? Why would 100,000 plus people drive from Houston 3 hours for a crawfish festival?[/quote]
There are a lot of people that drive from Houston but I don't think it's 100k people. There are well over that number of attendees for the entire festival though....

I live in Breaux Bridge, like 2 miles from Parc Hardy. Traffic is horrendous once you past Doug Ashy. Parking is in a field and it's supposed to rain(and it's been raining) so there ya go. You will have idiots driving up and down Rees street like gas is back to $1.25/gallon. My wife and kids go on W...
re: People selling their cars at ridiculous prices on FB Marketplace
Posted by cheobode on 4/29/24 at 8:48 am
They'll probably get around $10k for it. Those Fords seem to last forever too. My favorite are the ones that say "excellent condition, engine has a little knock to it but no other issues....$7,000 firm" when they're trying to sell a 2006 Altima...

Nowhere. My wife wanted me to be off when her and the kids were off for their week long Easter break so I took off. She asked me yesterday where we were going on vacation. Sorry dear, that was your vacation. I only get one full week per year.
*Edit: I get 18 annual days per year but can only tak...

re: Anyone here use Natural Family Planning?
Posted by cheobode on 4/17/24 at 2:07 pm
I find it's another way for the Catholic church to have some sort of control over your lives. My wife hates condoms, birth control wrecks havoc on her libido so we just use the pull out method. We have three kids and only tried for three kids so it's worked for us in the 18 years we've been together...

I had a friend in junior high who had a red 92 Eclipse. You read that right, my 13 year old friend had a brand new Mitsubishi Eclipse. He couldn't drive it to school so he would show it off during our religion class on Wednesday nights. He did drive it to school our freshman year. ...

If you posted that on Reddit, the incels there would tell you that you are grooming that poor girl and you need to find someone that, not only the same age as you, but having a birthday no more than 3 months apart. They will be quick to remind you that when you graduated high school, that poor girl ...

I've given people money when they were a little short for their meal/groceries and not once have I been thanked by that person. One of the more memorable ones was when I was at Wal-Mart and this older guy, unkempt, ratty beard was short like $5 for his groceries. The girl behind him didn't have cash...
