DW is much like SQ's DH (enough initials there? ;) ). I am fully convinced that, even if DW sees the mess, her brain spends zero cycles on interpreting the visual information. At 11 years into the...

A lot depends on whether the opening is a stock size. For a standard dishwasher, it should be 24". So you could look for a base cabinet that would fit there and provide a door (and door swing) that...

Our Case 1: We refaced the cabinets in our kitchen. The layout was fine (except the kitchen could be bigger so we could have more cabinets; it's 10x15) and most of it was pretty functional; it was...

The Niro is a hybrid. Definitely does not make things simpler.

Personally, I've found most terrestrial radio around here so disappointing I rarely switch on the radio at all. But I know that's...

What Alan said.

I have iCloud backup and perform two local backups of my phone (I don't have a tablet) regularly, to my laptop and to an off-site external drive. Everything has a strong password...

Good news on the job front is always welcome.

Keep up with the scheduled maintenance. Do what Toyota (or whoever) specifies. I always get a hoot out of old guys who remember their ol' '69 Chevy and recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles and...

Interesting. I don't remember the Pilot correcting the lane departure, just informing. Then again, my very first car didn't even have power steering (neither did my second IIRC) so maybe I just...

AFAIK lane departure in most cars is just a warning -- lights on the dash or a buzzer/beep or such (both of our cars are too old to have it but that's how it works on DD's Honda Pilot). I find it...

We like ours (2010, 100K miles). The new ones are getting a little ... "sophisticated" ... so they're not quite the cheap-to-buy-cheap-to-run appliances the older versions are. They're very good...

Yppej, are they offering a Forte or a Soul? Both of them have a different, more powerful engine than the Rio (though fuel mileage stays about the same). Both will offer noticeably more passenger...

If 200 is a mass event, I accompanied my mother to one a couple of weeks ago. Pretty well run; not many people over the four hours they held the event and a big room. I do know people who've gone to...

We've cruised before. There are some aspects of it I definitely do not like, but on balance I've enjoyed the cruises we've taken. I think we'll be waiting another 3-4 years for the next big birthday...

I'm sorry this has happened, SQ. It gums up the works really quickly.

I'll guess the IT department at the CU wishes it had never changed the software, too, but (not knowing what was behind the...

Can't add anything to the advice here. I have zero interest in that kind of continuing drama in my life from anyone. I'd let him know I'd be willing to help him get sober and stay sober, but I could...

I think that's been most of them for us. But, then, a few times they've been cars on the lot or showroom floor which had to be made ready for sale.

Yppej, I'm guessing the Kia dealer will just wholesale your car. It won't spend but a couple of days on the lot until it's picked up by whoever is going to salvage it. Unless the car is simply...

As someone who found out that a laminated Social Security card was a game-ender when applying for my Real ID driver's license (necessitating a second trip to -- and wait outside at -- the driver's...

I've been seeing more and more of the smaller commercial vans being used by tradespeople around here, trucks like the Ford Transit Connect and the Ram Promaster City. They carry around 1500-2000...

For whatever reason, they've been popular at potlucks here for decades (not just DW's family). Then again, we're in the Midwest; we don't always do the fashionable thing. lol

Makes sense. Catch-up maintenance is always costly. I hope the car gives you a little break now.

It looks like this will be the first major holiday since DW's sister passed away last fall that almost all the family will be together, so we're looking forward to it. I think almost all of us have...

As the owner of a 19-year-old car (the other car in the stable being 10 years old), I'm all for squeezing long lives out of cars. But if you're consistently paying what a new car would cost (minus...

My neighbor actually worked at the plant where Ford built the Ranger before they stopped several years ago. It wasn't a huge seller because it didn't cost all that much more to buy an F-150, which...

Wonderful news! Is wedding planning in full swing?
