Had my car 9.5 years, and just learned about dimpled panels. I assumed heat shields. Rear CAT looks nice!

I recently replaced the internals of one of our toilets. My hands were blackened by the water turning black from the deteriorating washers inside the tank, for the bolts which hold it to the bowl. Having installed the entire kit, I was glad the surging sound was gone while filling, as were the...

Something you've always wanted, maybe not something others would know about, or choose for you, so you pulled the trigger on your own, etc.? After months of hemming and hawing, I feel, YES!! I am worth $117! (new with tags/authentic) The straw that broke the camel's back

We went to a restaurant yesterday, and were asked how many, 3, ok, need to wait. Another group came, another waiter asked how many, they said 3, waiter said let me clear that table for you, and I said hmmm we were first. Immediately my wife went to the other patron and the waiter and said, we...

My son started ice hockey this fall, I guess you could say at a later age, 10. He has buddies that have been playing 5-6 years already (not on the same team or league). Personally, I don't think it's too late to learn as long as there are kids of the same ability, and the child has a sincere...

I am in disbelief that at my age, so many "new" and never before experienced things continue to happen. I had mentioned in some past thread that I do not check my retirement, maybe once a year. Because it's basically indexed by now etc. Since I know things are at an all-time high, I got...

Today there was an Apple Watch on my machine at the gym. I was hoping the owner would come back and get it, figuring I’d be agitated if I lost one (don’t have one but have left a phone). I asked a few people if it were theirs, nope. So I decided it’s finders keepers. 😂 J/k I left it at the...

Today I tried to return a brand new hockey stick and the only alternative was the UPS store, not Kohls. When I went to drop it off the owner had a scowl and said I can’t accept that, it needs a box. I said but this is the way it came. He said no dice. What’s the deal? If I google there are...

We bought wings at Costco. My wife marinated them, and today I deep fried them. I noticed some unidentified protein, to tell you the truth looked like a fish filet. What would you do? Throw everything out? All the fresh oil? Fry it anyway and see what it is? I did the last option. When I...

My example is my son is 10. And he didn't learn to ride a bike until this summer. I say it's my fault and I was worried, because I know I learned at 5 and I was thinking that I learned to ski at 12, and I never to this day caught up to my buddies who started at 4. Luckily, my wife taught my...

If I look back upon my life, I made a critical mistake. I've been on-call at my jobs since 1996. From 1996-2010, I had a pager. In the 90's, I felt cool having a pager, it made me feel important. From 1999-2010, I had a company cell and a pager. At the beginning, a Nextel. Again, made me...

I noticed this long ago, because my wife and son eat Hawaiian bread daily. Who knows, maybe they are Hawaiian? I can never find it at our Costco, without walking all over the store. One would think it's near the bread? Yesterday, I finally said I can't find it I'll ask this pretty associate...

I got back to my car and there was a note “don’t park like an a******” I could tell the person yanked my wiper arm based on it’s not being fully retracted. It does not come up on this car and the note was loose. I do see my bumper is on the white line, but so what? Society is disappointing...

I'm always on my best behavior when there are cams. I pass through red light cams every day to work, no speed cams. The only possibility of running a light is if pressured by someone behind. Yesterday, while in Delaware, had a dilemma where I know the logical answer. I'm at a red light...

It is a “thing” for me. When I got a 10 yo LS430, I felt many of the switches and such were not up to snuff. We’re talking turn signals, wiper controls, power mirror (commonly stops working on them), power window switches, etc. after all the car is the flagship. Flash forward to 2024. 2007...

For me, it’s at 0:16, when the woman drops the pruning shears

I did yesterday at a funeral mass, and it left an impression on me, to think that my words, could bring tears to people 75 yo or so, in my remembrance of their brother and friend. Someone whom I called an uncle and he called his nephew (we are not by blood). Recently, I sang Johnny B. Goode at...

This one relates to Verizon Wireless. I noticed the bill for 3 phones went up $12. There is a $4 fee on each phone because of antiquated plans. What I noticed is I could move my mom down, from $49 to $40. Nice! She loses hotspot. She has never used it. Now try to move my wife down...

Do they necessarily go in sequence, when it comes to ser#'s (same agency)? Here's why I ask. I got 2 new ones in 2023. One of them, has a ser# lower than a tag that was issued to us in 2015. They tend to last 10 years. Could the one with the low ser# have been sitting on a shelf for 10...

Because their document such as a passport has a middle name, but the reservation did not? I was in a hurry and ordered 3 airline tix, and I didn't put our middle names. Two people offered "scary" stories, that people they knew had to tear up their tix because of such an omission. When pressed...
