Projects like this are in the works for YEARS before they happen

I’m with Steve. You have to know you’re rolling the dice with a variable rate plan.

Agreed. What if you move and then have health issues and need help? No one is close to you. Expecting people to travel to help you is selfish.

Something to maybe consider: What if family who live in another country die and/or need help in their old age? Would you have the money to visit...

That’s not the only way to do it. I paid and then friend wrote me a check. Guess it’s different if you don’t know the person.

Friend and I shared a music stand in choir for more than 10 years pre-Covid. There were other volunteers in my parish, but I don’t know if anyone...

The 86 year old senior friend I grocery shop for is getting her first shot next week. She said that two weeks after she gets her second jab, she's...

My senior friend I grocery shop for has been asking me to get a can of Lysol SPRAY disinfectant for months. It's been out of stock, for obvious...

As some of you might remember, I'm Eastern Orthodox. Ash Wednesday is not part of our traditions. We have Clean Monday, instead. Great Lent begins...

What are the pros/cons vs MX?

The Straits of Mackinac are gorgeous. My favorite place to dive. Being on a boat going under the bridge was freaking awesome. This photo was taken...

Kenosha County, WI is limiting vaccinations to county residents only, I heard on the news. Too many people from IL were trying (or had gotten) their...

Current Escape can’t tow anything. Don’t have tow package or big enough engine.

I’ve given up on the trailer dream. I live in a small apartment and would have to store it somewhere. To store it within 30 minutes of where I live...

That is funny as hell.

The vast majority of people are not traveling internationally. It’s hard enough getting cargo into the country.

So the Austin newspaper is wrong? ...

What's not working on the new to you stove?

There appear to be a number of factors. There is a lot of electricity generated by wind power in TX, and a lot of that capacity is down due to the...

So sorry to hear.

About 15” of snow on the ground and maybe another 4”-8” tomorrow into Tuesday. Winter storm watch for now and a wind chill advisory through tomorrow....

I’ve been using those carts to haul my dive gear since I started diving. I love purple and when I have to replace current kne, I’ll definitely go...

I’ll wait myself.

Steve, it was not toddlers upstairs. No kids at all. They quieted down about 945pm so I didn’t have to call the police. I have a ground floor...

Excellent!

My upstairs neighbors are a$$hats. The entire unit has wood floors. Someone is stomping all over the living room floor. Occasionally running all over...

If you can get stuff from Canada or Europe, go for it!

Part of this is due to hundreds of dock workers out due to covid and part due to being eCommerce driven. China medical goods and consumer goods...

I saw multiple bits of video. Looked like a lot of people were going pretty fast.

Whatever you like.

Nice. Hopefully it came with a raise!

Wound a bit too tight? Habit carried over from working with air freight for years. MKE is Milwaukee. CLE is Cleveland. MSP is Minneapolis-St...

More SFO weirdness. From the friend who lives in the SFO and posted this on FB. ...

You and I know that, but try telling the anti-online payments people that!

I need to vent about a friend that is driving me crazy. She's my age. Pays all her bills via check sent by mail. Absolutely refuses to even...

The elderly who don’t live in a nursing home or assisted living seem to have kinda fallen through the cracks in some places.

The 20s diving buddy I mentioned earlier accompanied his grandfather and an ill uncle to get their first dose. Another family member was able to get...

Woo hoo! So glad to hear!

She’s cute.

Yes, I was planning on looking for a used one when I have $$ saved up.

Yeah the 6qt is just huge for me. At least I have no $$ in it. Got it through an incentive program at the old job

I don’t like it. And it’s too big just for me. I saw that one before.

Wow. Cute little trailer but I don’t want the bed on wheels. You open the door and your bed is right there. You have to deal with shoes before you...

I have a diving buddy in his mid 20s who does something for work that I don’t quite understand. They’re classified as essential, which apparently...

I want something that’s MINE. I have a hard time sleeping in strange beds the first night. Even nice hotel rooms have a weird smell on the linens. I...

Here it’s screwed up. There is one distribution system for Chicago and then one for the rest of the state. The Chicago mayor was griping last...

I had signed up via Cook County’s website a few weeks back to be advised on availability. It turned out that it was only open at that time for health...

That woman is great. I’ve watched other videos she’s done. I love that she opens up the storage areas and talks about how big they are, etc. Other...

That’s exactly what I would do. And people have discussed getting a second table mount and putting it on the side, not right in the middle.

Ugh. Down to the wire. I’d be going crazy.

A friend called it “darling” and totally me. She urged me to think about it as a goal. Maybe. More than $22K. I saw $25K.

Not when it’s full of dive gear! That’s the issue. Escape is full of dive gear. If I didn’t have the dive gear, it would be different.

Putting aside InstantPot. I simply don’t use it and I have very little space in my small kitchen. Three plastic mugs used for nuking soup that are...

$25K for a new one for the Tab 320S. Yikes! I have to say that the Tab trailers are ridiculously expensive, but the interiors are much nicer and...

This is the Tab S. 15ft long and it has a bathroom. This one is really neat. The boondock package has a solar panel on top. I’d ditch the microwave,...

Rosa, thanks for posting that. Pitched about 20 books today. Old diving drysuit went to the friend buying it today, along with a few diving...

Decluttered all the notebooks from my catechist class about 10 years ago. Doubt I’d looked at them since and I had a hard time reading my...

Wow.

@Alan, that’s a really nice trailer. The bathroom is HUGE! I happen to not like sliders myself. For me as a single, a small trailer would work...
