Saw Spiderman Far From Home last night. As an overall movie/plot I'd rank it in the middle of the whole Marvel series. One good thing about the plot was some misdirection...it is goes a very different direction than all of the articles that were written about the story line prior to the movies relea...

I got hit with ~$5,000 charge to tap into the village sewer line that the contractor did not know about. It was the cost the city charges to run the line from the street to the house. He had never built in our town before.

We are in the process of building a new house closer to town. We couldn't find anything we really liked. When the houses had what we wanted they were huge. So far we bought a lot and have a builder. Anyone ever build their own house? Trying to make sure you don't get screwed in some way seems impos...

Thanks...I was just looking at the Schlage smart locks. The wife says she doesn't want a connected one so just being able to use the keypad will be nice until I can convince her otherwise.

Looking for some advice on front door/deadbolt locks. The problem: My wife has given out over a half dozen keys to various friends/dog sitters to the point of being unable to keep track who has them so I would like to install a new lock on our front door. The parameters: Need to be able to give peop...

If you can get some that would be great. Anything but Chinese.

Went to a place recommended in an article and it blew us away.

Do you remember the name of the place?

GoodKarma

Thanks. This is my third trip up there. During my first trip the wife and I did Victoria/Buchart Gardens and enjoyed it. The only problem was the date...September 11, 2001. Good times getting back into the US...

I definitely plan on hitting up the Anthropology museum.

I'm heading to Vancouver next month for a long weekend. We discussed some things to do a few year ago. Anybody got any recent recommendations for food/beer and things to do?

GoodKarma

Just watched...I think you did a great job. The natural life experience/story telling approach really works for you. If you really enjoyed it I hope you keep working at it.

I can second mister d on the Bose. I have used mine daily for two years and not one problem.

re: Endgame I agree the last 90 minutes were as epic as anything I've seen (or even better). I did have a couple of minor quibbles: I'm not sure how I feel about Cap's ending. I agree the man deserves a break/happy ending...but the over-arching theme of Endgame seemed to be about people "becomi...

Laird - fwiw - I don’t think the bengals are remotely in on Haskins - murmurs from the bldg that they think he should have spent another year in college.

Endgame at 97% fresh. So, that's pretty good. I am seeing it tomorrow night at 6:00 pm with Q, so should be able to get to it spoiler free. I am excited for it. Friday 3pm for me. I cannot wait. I plan on not drinking anything during the day so I can avoid having to go to the bathroom. If anyone ha...

I echo what Sabo said. I've been through something similar; just admitting there is a problem is a big first step. The next is talking with with a medical professional you trust to figure out how to best address the problem. It worked wonders for me...not only helping me get through the problem but ...

Anyone recently bought appliances? I need to get some on order for the new house. Anything you love about your fridge/gas range/washer and dryer right now? Anything to stay away from? I've run the gamut on brands in three different houses over the past 10 years. Here is what can tell you: Despite h...

Seems high to me. Recent guys I have hired in Colorado seem to be about $120.

I agree with AB. Keep the Jetta since it's still in fine shape and, as you say, fun to drive. Don't give up on something that's working well. I also would not count on the Envoy making 200K. Sell the Envoy on your own if you think you can get more than you could towards a trade. What is it about GM ...

Sorry to hear...sounds like a lousy experience. I work in software so if/when you're ready to start looking again reach out and I can see what my company has available. We're always looking for technical folks.

But oh yes... I'm bringing theJeopardy! pen. Throwing it down on our table will be the equivalent of a Mike Tyson stare down with these hipster punks.

You should get t-shirt printed with that picture of you and Trebek and just roll in wearing that.

From a service/quality standpoint they are all kind of the same. The only real difference tends to be price. I've found that there is usually one or two that are cheaper than the rest for any given airport. Unfortunately, IMO, Denver is a stupid and expensive place to rent a car because each company...

Booked a last-minute (-ish - we leave in six weeks) trip to the Big Island (Kona Coast). Anyone ever been and have any must-dos?

The feds want their money from taxes. Not sure they care about the parenting aspect except in the sense that it was the impetus of the fraud. I'm sure you're correct. Bottom line is the FBI didn't indict kids involved because they clearly were not the ones responsible even though they are the ones ...

Therefore I would contend that the problem isn't the Olivia Jade's of the world...it's the people that like/follow/watch her. Seems rough to call a bunch of teen and pre-teen girls "the real problem with the world". I don't think they are the "problem with the world." Elite coll...
