I just finished a 3-part book series. For 2.75 books, the spelling and were fine. The end of the third book had a mistake about every other page. It was like the editor got tired of reading the series and gave up.

Really? Finally, something that explains the utter nonsense I've been bothered by all these years.

I've never had so much as a sore arm from anthrax. All my friends have reactions so I know I'm the odd ball here, but it's a non-event for me. I don't know why my reaction is so mild in comparison to others.

Dang it. I'm subscribed to this thread. Why didn't I see any messages? It isn't showing up in my "Participated" or "Subscribed" lists. I couldn't have made it - wayyyy too far out - but I'm annoyed that I didn't even know.

Really? If you left the Strip and went to a seedy area, you either didn't go very far or you went the wrong direction. Many parts of Las Vegas have neighborhoods ranging from "clean and friendly family neighborhood with people who have lived there 10+ years" to "does that house have a golf...

Having lived in seven states, including Nevada....traveled to more than 35...and visiting Florida regularly....I have no idea what you are talking about! 🤣

I have my phone programmed to automatically replace any "!?" or "?!" combination with an interrobang. I love it, don't you‽

I'll be using it too. Is it the pinnacle of measurements? No, but then I'd argue that no measurement tells the full story. It's one more tool in my tool bag as I build my financial house.

Bras used to be ugly utilitarian monstrosities. Now they are pretty, and pretty comfortable. And while I'm not the type to flaunt it by any means, I definitely am not concerned if a bra strap is peeking out. And we don't get cranky when we get attention. We get cranky when we get harassed. My...

I laughed for about 2 minutes straight when this story came out.

My mom is from NJ but this is news to me. She certainly never did it in my car. I'll have to ask her about it.

Yes that is pedantic, but I'll forgive it. My pet peeve, now that your post has caused me to think of it, is people who spell out acronyms that are meant to be pronounced as a word. For instance, Subject Matter Expert is SME (smee) not S.M.E.

I have never heard of this before. Do you just throw it in randomly, or do you mean they place in nicely into a cup holder? I'd be annoyed if people threw change all over my car.

This is rough since it's not my normal net worth checking time, but it looks like I'm at 41%-58% for my additional savings, and 15 months closer to my pension since first posting. Time flies. And holy wow the market is also flying!
