take this over the hassle of putting on 3 layers of clothes.


It's been mostly a hot winter, aside from the handful of days where you needed a light jacket. You must live up north somewhere.
just because you have an escrow, doesn't mean you can't just make the payment. It might leave some money tied up for a while, but if it saves some hassle and scare, worth it.

Once you knew there was an issue, you could have then paid the county directly. Your mortgage company would eventually send you a refund from the escrow account.

I know this because I just deposited my refund check today. The issue I noticed was that they weren't going to issue the payment in time. To avoid any delay or problems, I paid it and things sorted themselves out. It's been about two months, so not too bad.
I had a dog that got scared from fireworks and shot out. He was missing for a few days, but showed back up with a new collar on. I can only imagine the events he went through. I think someone tried to make him their pet and he escaped them to come back to his true home.

possibly from a party stunt? That's kind of a weird place to stick that into the story. Also, what the frick kind of party is that a stunt at, pdiddy?

This is the one and only answer, I can’t believe the OP is asking such a stupid fricking question.


This is correct. The married person is 100 percent responsible for cheating on their spouse. This isn’t saying that the side piece didn't do anything wrong, but they have no control over the married person's actions. Depending on awareness, the side piece could definitely be guilty of being a piece of shite, but could also be entirely innocent.

It can’t be bad if you’ve never had one amiright?!?!


Technically true, but sucks for you if that's the case.

One or both of those has to be OPs concept of a threesome. Threesomes with two beautiful women have never been bad for me.
I don't have facebook, but that's fortunate for you because after reviewing the options, I wasn't going to vote for your cat.

re: Door dash and Uber Eats...

just used Uber Eats to order Chipotle. I drive 8-9 hours all throughout the day in traffic and talk for a living. The last thing I want to do is come home and make a meal. I want to relax and do nothing.


On days when I get like this, I tend to think ahead and just pick something up on the way home.
I think in the last 10 years, I have had food delivered once via the classic pizza delivery. I am not opposed to it and don't think it's dumb, but sometimes I like to get out for a little while. Other times, there is almost always some other need to go out and pick up materials or whatever, so I just make a multi stop trip.

You haven't lived in South Louisiana, then. I'd take the hills and 4 seasons over this flat swamp any time. Also, they may be idiots out wandering around, but at least they drive like they have a place to get to, unlike here in south LA

re: First time buying a bonnet

Posted by Steadyhands on 12/10/25 at 7:53 am to

Not wearing a bonnet while you sleep basically means your hair is rubbing against the pillow all night, which creates friction that leads to breakage, frizz, and split ends. Cotton pillowcases also pull moisture and natural oils out of your hair, leaving it drier and rougher by morning. Without a bonnet, your hair is more likely to get tangled and any styling won’t last as long because it gets flattened while you move around in your sleep.


Your double down effort was decent, but how does putting another cloth between your head and a pillow prevent any of that same shite from happening?

wish I’d started earlier and had 1 more child


I started early, and waited past my window to have one more. Like you, I wanted one more, but I'm almost 40 and no way we want to have another now.

I agree.

I love my parents but they’re the prime example of people that didn’t need to have kids with one another. Stayed together for us.

Made me and my siblings’ lives a living hell.


Sounds like your parents shouldn't have even been married. If you have a good relationship with your SO that should exist, then you are already not like your parents and shouldn't judge your future based upon your childhood and your parents job of raising children. However, it is something to be mindful of as to how will they be as grandparents and how to interact your kids with them if you decide to have kids. Also, consider your SOs upbringing, how or what have yours/her siblings done. Reach out to those you know who have done well with kids for thoughts and advice.

I think I just have an issue with people who are inconsiderate or completely lack self awareness


I think it is completely rational to be mad in this situation. People lack self awareness and just don't give a frick about anything but themselves. You see it in the situation you described, on the road, etc. Another situation similar to yours is someone taking forever at an ATM machine. I have deposited cash, checks, etc and it never takes more than a minute or so to finish. What the hell are some people doing where they are at the machine for 5 minutes plus?

So what peptides are you taking and where are you getting them from?
Would anyone be disappointed if the young woman's family disregarded the law and takes out the judge that allowed this? I'm surprised this isn't happening in these cases.

Then they should be charging extra for wall seats that may, or may not, contain a window.


Correct - AFTER they pay the f*ck out to the plaintiffs


This is one reason why shite costs a lot. No one should be paid the frick out because they got a wall instead of a window. A very minor difference in cost is all that should be paid and the airline needs to either distinguish specific seats with walls vs windows for future or just call them all wall seats. Sue happy culture is a problem in America, much worse is the result of high payouts for bullshite.
I guess I am lucky in that I haven't heard this. Now that I'm aware of it, I probably will though. Thanks.

Are you in Louisiana?


Yes.

4 vehicles, 4 drivers. Only one new vehicle.

spend $1100 just on car insurance. And that’s with a $1000 deductible thru Geico.


How many vehicles is that covering?

We spent about 4200 for a full year coverage on 4 vehicles, all full coverage at 500 deductible through progressive. Sadly, this is up about 600 from the previous year, with zero incidents or accidents.
Hopefully they restrict what can be purchased with ebt.
