Topanga or Al from Step by Step?
I remember debating this as a youngster.
Al felt like the cool, cute girl who lived in your neighborhood.
Topanga was that otherworldly beauty you saw at Disney World once and never again.

re: Private schools parents: What do you pay for tuition?
Posted by StringedInstruments on 4/14/26 at 10:02 am to GreenRockTiger
Where the hell does everyone get so much money?
$22k + $18k in private school tuition would crush us. We make $150k/year combined.
I keep reading about inflation, gas prices, grocery prices (see my thread on it), housing prices, insurance costs, taxes, clothes, goods, everything. It's all getting too expensive.
But seems like a lot of people have boats, nice cars, a big house, private school tuition, vacations, alcohol, jewelry, the works.
Make it make sense.

My father-in-law has dementia, and it’s one of the most challenging diseases imaginable. Godspeed if that’s what it is.
I would make the appointment and then tell him it’s time to leave. Don’t let it become a conversation or argument. Be insistent and demanding until he gets in the car with you. He needs an evaluation by a neurologist. ASAP.

Any thoughts on men who refuse to pay for their wives to stay home with the kids?
Posted by StringedInstruments on 4/13/26 at 11:18 am
One of my wife's friends is married to a very successful salesman in an engineering field. They live in a big house, take amazing vacations, and have all the other signs of being really wealthy.
They do keep their bank accounts separate and always have. My wife's friend pays for her own car, her own clothes, and the groceries. He covers everything else.
When they started having kids, he said, "It's not my responsibility to pay for your vacation" in regards to her staying home. She took a 2 month maternity leave with each of their kids that she supplemented with her own savings.
They can obviously afford for her to. But he doesn't want to pay for it.
Smart man? Or what?

I'm happy to vote for her.
And not vote for my 37 year old "boss girl" coworker who spends more time whining about teaching than actually teaching. She's posts her link to the contest on social media every single day and says she really needs a good vacation to Hawaii to recharge for her classroom.

I've never thought it was a good idea.
Because those music companies put a lot of pressure and debt onto the musicians they sign.
Musicians aren’t exactly the most business savvy people, especially when they’re young. So producers sign them and give them a chunk of change that they have to pay back, but they can use it to make more music using higher end studios. But because it’s financed by the production company, they often want a say in the music being made. So the creative part for the musician is constrained.
That’s why they jumped to social media but guess what? They’re just as parasitic as anyone else.
Now there’s AI.
Let’s be honest: the little guy will ALWAYS get fricked. That’s why Taylor Swift’s dad said screw that noise and purchased the record company.

you are looking at $2 to 2.75 per pepper.
It is in my memory bank that red bell peppers were $1.99/pound not too long ago. Green was like $.79/pound.
I get covid, inflation, Iran, yada yada yada. But the prices overall are getting ridiculous. We shouldn’t just be talking bell peppers here.

Prices could double tomorrow and I would still choose publix.
I always come back to Publix because Walmart doesn’t have a good selection for meat and produce and Whole Foods doesn’t have normal dry goods.
At one point we were doing Costco, Walmart pickup, Publix, and Target pickup. It was ridiculous but we were optimizing our grocery budget. Just couldn’t keep up with it.

Funny that Walmart has their prices listed on the app, but Publix does not.
Looks like I’m done shopping at Publix.

I actually think WF would be cheaper. Publix has gotten absurd.
I just don’t have time to do multiple stores and Walmart is a decent hike for a pickup order. I’ve thought about Kroger delivery, but I hear that can be even more expensive and often lacks quality in produce selections.
