Sunny Florida here, my wife is in her large garden every single day. I'll tell her, but don't expect pictures.

Ok, maybe this doesn't go here, but it is one way to not inflate prices. I bought the same SUNCO 6PK of LED lights 3 times, Feb 5, 2019, Sept 15, 2020, and April 6, 2024. On the first order the price was $144.99, on the second order, the price dropped to $104.99 and the last order, the price...

This is also what I keep coming back to. I'm doing well on meds, but if I ever need it, I'll see if this fits my situation. https://www.facebook.com/groups/prostatePAE

I was prescribed both at the same time. I'd don't remember the exact date but it was over 2 years ago. This was after the second mention to my doc, I told him it's time to do something, "I'm to the point when I get up at night, I know it will be a while so I just sit down" After two years I...

I use then term liquid net worth. I'm one of those people, I don't count my house. :-)

Surprise! My son said he had four pieces of flooring in a closet. He started removing pieces and the 1/4 round trim. He found the flooring very tight, again the wall. We removed enough pieces to get the wall pieces out and the bubble then laid flat. We trimmed about 1/4" of the pieces against...

I'm suspecting it is the laminate/pressed paper, but will need to look further. I just sprained my big toe an hour ago, so I'm hobbling around, foot is in an ice bath as I write. Arrgh, just doing something stupid and injured myself!

The laminate on the floor is the long rectangular interlocking pieces, (tongue and groove). Similar to this picture.

Unfortunately no extra laminate was found in the house.

On the other hand, I think there is a lot more of what Judge Wapner called "puffery". Such as, when my son was in a hit and run, he was on his skateboard and a bicycle ran him down and knocked him unconscious for a short time. The bicyclist was no where to be found. A good Samaritan saw him and...

My son recently bought fixer upper house that was damaged in a tornado, lost part of the roof and the *laminate floor got wet. There are 4 or 5 planks the have a bubble when you walk over them, this is right at a transition to a tile floor. There is a longer term plan to totally remodel the...

A difficult website is IBKR (Interactive Brokers). I find it extremely difficult to find my account data on there. I opened that account because I could borrow on margin at 1.5%, that was a 2 or 3 years ago. I short term financed a house for my daughter and SIL, rather than sell shares and pay...

That would be what you want, sell at the high price and buy back a lower price when the market tanked. But I know what you meant.

As a middle, middle income couple, we over saved, worked 6 more years then needed, and I only got my wife to retire, by summoning up a hurricane that destroyed our small business and did $90k worth of damage to our home. Tough job, but somebody had to do it! However I don't regret having...

This morning I was answering a question and looked up minimum starting investment. I found Fidelity is $0 and Vanguard is $3,000. Then I went on to find for Total Stock Market Funds, Fidelity has a 0.015% management fee vs 0.04% for Vanguard. Both are low, but I was surprised to see Fidelity...
