Reply to LPT: Pack a "Go" bag. by Chris_Moyn
I've had to do this twice in 50 years. Neither time really hurt for me to take 15 extra minutes to throw together some clothes in a suitcase.
Honestly everywhere has a Walmart in the US. We just bought stuff we forgot or needed.

Nobody checks signatures. All my cards are signed "check ID" and literally nobody has looked or asked in 20 years.

Reply to LPT Instead of wasting your Sunday and regretting it at the end of the day, why not go unplanned for the whole day and do whatever comes to mind at the moment? By the end of the day, you won't have any regrets for the things you didn't do and would rather have satisfaction that you enjoyed the day. by Knight_TheRider
Wednesday (after work) I cleaned the house.
Thursday I cooked for 20 people. They ate all the turkey.
Friday I drove my kid back to college and went to see my dad. It was a 12 hour car trip.
Saturday I went shopping for weekly food and got a haircut. I made a 4-hour ham. It was delicious.
Today I'm doing fuck-all.

And that's why the anti-vaxx cousins are not welcome in our house. And (praise baby Jesus) neither are their hell-spawn children.
Ironically, both their vaccinated mothers (who snubbed us last year for it) are coming to dinner because their precious babies never learned how to cook a decent meal apparently.

Get one that is waterproof and windproof. Slightly bigger than you need. With a hood.
I like an inside pocket for phone and wallet.
Last one I bought was from Costco for $35.

I bought a bunch of those solar lights off Amazon that come on super bright for 30 seconds with motion and put them all around the driveway and on the side of the house.
You walk around my house at night and it will light you up like a christmas tree.

Lpt: clean your ceiling fans throughly before switching spin direction or you'll be sorry.

Reply to LPT Request - Health Insurance Noob by AbstractTechnica
I'm finding that the lowest level of my company's "insurance" doesn't pay for shit.
They want you to meet the deductible ($2500 or $5000) before they even start doing 80/20.
And my lowest cost dental? It only covers cleanings. Might as well pay for that with cash and save the money.
So you really need to look what they cover OP. You're better off with an 80/20 plan with a high monthly rate than a 0 plan with a low monthly rate. Unless everybody in your family is like super healthy and never has accidents. But even then I would pour money into and HSA as one accident or diagnosis will drain your bank account.
US health insurance sucks ass. Thanks a lot Republicans!

Super poor LPT.
Did you know that you don't need to buy new clothes? You can just buy that $120 pair of jeans...wear them all week... then return them to the store.

No reputable source says colloidal silver does anything. In fact, the FDA says quit using it.

If the buyer shows up and offers less at the last minute, don't negotiate with him. He's trying to cheat you. Just leave and start again.
