Sorry, misread.
What is way out north? North Shore? Or on the border with Evanston (first suburb north of Chicago)?
I’m sick of hearing about FL, gulf coast people who live in hurricane country bellyaching about their huge homeowners insurance increases. If you don’t like it? MOVE! Same with people who live on...
If you don’t want the Starbucks and Panera cards, give them away to people who will use them. Maybe SO has coworkers who would like them.
Aside from the odd Visa gift card for something at work, I haven’t gotten gift cards much in recent years. I think the last one I got was for a local Middle Eastern restaurant I love for my birthday...
They f*cked up Monday morning at O’Hare good. Blocked all 4 lanes of the highway into the airport. The ONLY surface way in. Protest all you want, but block the freeway? You deserve whatever motorists...
Iran is the North Korea of the Middle East. Nothing they do makes sense. They’ve needed to be taken out years ago.
I now have Life straw water bottle with built in filters.
Very cute but I would never live that close to water.
One positive of IL is that they don’t tax retirement income.
What’s interesting is I’ve heard people hosting Dave’s show - the ones besides him - who mention things about not trashing your credit rating with bankruptcy, turning a car back to lender, etc., as...
I’ve gone back to doing just about all my grocery shopping at Aldi and it really keeps costs down.
I did renew Amazon Prime. I can afford it.
I’m still plugging along. I needed new tires ($1K) so I had to rebuild emergency fund from scratch (everything else had been thrown on cc). I added another $1K on top, so $2K in it now. Today was my...
I just ordered the book, too.
Actually I was the one who said that about Kamala, not IL. LOL
Mother worked as a receptionist in a group medical practice before I was born. She filled in occasionally when we were growing up. She went back in the early 80s (I was 11 or so) to pay for Catholic...
A cautionary tale:
A friend’s mother died about 18 months ago. Friend has a brother. There is a house and some investments. Friend has been living in the house while cleaning it out and getting...
Yes, I would have voted for Nikki. Now if Grandpa Joe gets incapacitated in office, we get stuck with Kamala, who will suck donkey balls. Talk about a DEI VP.
The AZ abortion thing has tipped me to voting for Grandpa Joe. I will have to hold my nose while doing it.
LOL
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I buy Dr Bronner’s all the time. Have for years. Good products and they treat their employees/overseas suppliers well.
Elsewhere I hang out online someone was saying you need to pay to get good...
And Mexico City is in big danger of running out of water. Can’t forget that. And the stupid presidente is ruining the ground water of the Yucatán with his stupid Mayan train project that is ruining...
Rob, you seem to like shitholes from living in both AZ and being too attached to MX. Playa del Carma was indeed a third world shithole when I was there two years ago. The cave diving was excellent...
