WFH on Friday is setting up nicely...
Yeah I could have gone down the road and gotten a much better meal for the same price or a few dollars more. ...
[quote]It's crazy how much Taco Bell has raised their prices. You could eat like a king for $5 there about 10 years ago.[/quote] I got Taco Bell for me and my daughter the other day and was shocked at the price. She got a chicken quesadilla meal. I got a 5 layer burrito (no meal) and we got 2 order...
So many people think inflation going down means prices are falling ...

[quote]I'm right there with you.[/quote] I think you do anything long enough and it just gets old. Sure, I could change jobs or something maybe, but I have a pretty sweet setup now, and I'd be doing something similar at the new one anyway. I've done this type of work for 25 years, so it's sort ...

[quote]46. I started buying minor league baseball hats and expensive bourbons I'll never open, but just look at.[/quote] :lol: I turned 46 earlier in the year and have not had this urge yet. ...
We probably get knocked there for having a bunch of heavy industry and plants. ...
[quote]Haven’t hit what I’d call a mid life crises, but around 45 I just didnt want to go to work anymore.[/quote] Mid career burnout is very real in my experience. I don't hate my job but feel like I'm just going through the motions. I have zero motivation to advance any further in my career but I...
They are going to have a hard time getting to 2% without a decent increase in unemployment. ...
[quote]There was nothing to that but yeah, managing adults, especially middle aged women, seems like a nightmare[/quote] I've turned down multiple promotions because I know management, director (or higher) isn't my speed. I know that I wouldn't enjoy it. I see what they do all day, and I'd rath...
I've had opportunities, but I've never had any desire to manage people, not even 5 of them. ...
Yeah, I bought the cheapest ones I could. I don't remember if this was at night or whatever. Don't do this with Craftsman or SnapOn :lol: You can't even get the damn lug out of them afterwards most of the time. ...
Man I'm dreading June through September. Worst 4 months of the year. ...
[quote]My last three cars had keyed lugs, and I doubt they were aftermarket[/quote] My truck had them from the factory as did my wife's old Accord. After being burned with them once, I removed them all. They are more trouble than they are worth. You are far more likely to get stuck on the side ...
I got 4 off my wife's old car by hammering a slightly smaller socket onto them. Full disclosure, it destroys said socket. I bought a few from Lowes knowing that I was going to toss them afterwards. ...

My wife has like 10 of them, some 8-9 years old....
Vehicles definitely last longer now than 80s-90s models. I think the jury is still out on all of the crap we put in recent models (auto start/stop, turbos etc) to meet fuel requirements. ...
[quote]I always buy used and never have paid more than $30K. For me it’s just a way to get from point A to point B.[/quote] I haven't always bought used, but I've never spent more than 35k on a vehicle. Looks like I'll only buy used moving forward though :lol:...
