    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I'm starting to wonder if it's always been this way and I just never noticed because the water leaking into the basement through the cracks in the wall. Everything was there when I got the house...haven't added/replaced anything...but as I've started to look into it more, I'm starting to see...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    This stupid humidifier is getting on my last nerve. We’ve got water leaking out the bottom of the furnace. Where the humidifier is, it isn’t getting anything vital wet...it is leaking from the duct down at the floor and it in the unfinished part of the basement so it’s still ending up in the...

    The Pet Thread

    So, it was quite a while ago, but one of the neighbors came over and started screaming at us because "Chloe bit Owen". He bleeding? No. Did Was she chasing him? Well, no. Okay then, tell your kid not to be an ******* then. I got to tell helicopter dad that his precious Owen was shoving Ezra (4...

    Repay Loan Faster or Contribute More Retirement?

    The loan will be paid off after this next paycheck and then I'll bump up my TSP contribution a couple percent the check after that so all the spam-bots can stop reviving this thread now.

    The Cooking Thread

    Tried HelloFresh a couple weeks ago. My sister got it as a Christmas present for Jack, our burgeoning chef. Gotts say, I wasn't terribly impressed. The meals weren't bad, but all the ingredients for a meal are thrown in one paper bag together and then all the bags are boxed up. We had a tomato...

    Kids of EB

    ****, I was learning how to drive at 12...on a 4-speed. Started with Dad letting me shift the gears while he drove. it's 15 1/2 for a learner's permit in Ohio now. It was 16 when I was a kid, but it was only 15 in Florida, so we used Grandma's address to get me one down there when we were in...

    2020 Football (NFL / NCAA)

    It's like a broken record here in Cincy...Mike Brown needs to stop thinking he knows how to run a football team. Sure, they did a great job bringing Joe Burrow on board, but apparently they forgot that they also need a decent offensive line to keep him from getting murdered. If I remember right...

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    I couldn't sleep the other night and was so desperate that I ended up watching "69" on Hulu. I apologize, it was late and my mind wasn't right. Basically just solidified my opinion about today's music industry being full of morons if they think Takashi 69 has any sort of talent. No reason at...

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    Been watching the new version of “The Stand”. I like it, but I was a big Steven King fan when I was a kid. No big revelations since it’s a remake of something based on a book. This one is definitely rated R so it’s a lot more graphic than the original which was a made-for-TV miniseries. On a...

    The Pet Thread

    Welcome to our world. 3 of the 4 are alright going to the vet. The 4th does not like it at all and the vet's not terribly fond of him either. He's a big dumb oaf who's strong as can be so I think the vet's a little scared of him. We just happen to be doing our yearly visits for all of them...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    I'll admit, it was nice getting a little extra $$$ right there around Christmas time. Another nice thing will be getting all of my local taxes back. Since I work downtown they take out Cincinnati city taxes but you can file for a refund for days that you weren't actually working downtown. Our...

    Movie thread

    The one theatre here is starting to get some of the new movies, but this summer they were doing movies on weekends as soon as they were allowed to. Since there were no new movies out, they would do their "comeback classics". This week it's "Batman Returns", Daddy's Home 2" and "Paul Blart 2"...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Maybe it's just because I work for the Gub-mint. I'd imagine they sent out an email about it, but it probably got lost in all the other nonsense emails that show up on a daily basis and go straight to the trash bin. Regardless of any email I may have gotten, I'd already heard about it but didn't...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    TBH, my guess is that they figured everybody would be happy to have a bigger paycheck and then when the doo doo hot the fan at the first of the year people would be getting their stimulus checks to offset the difference.

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    I wondered what was going to happen when all those people who were just happy to have bigger paychecks the last couple months of 2020 were going to do when their first few months on 2021 were suddenly a lot lower. Everyone was sooo happy because they quit taking SS tax from paychecks, but...

    “Wonder Woman 1984” gets a solid...meh. I actually fell asleep there for a bit in the middle and didn’t even bother to go back and watch what I missed.

    Got Ink?

    For some reason some best-of videos for “Ink Master” showed up on my FB feed so we’ve been going back and watching that again. Wife and I are both looking at getting cover-ups at some point and I’ve got a couple ideas. Maybe if/when my $600 shows up....😁

    The Pet Thread

    The lifespan of stuffed dog toys is measured in minutes in our house. Even the so called heavy duty things made out of fire hoses.

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    But did she leave because of Netflix? Sometimes I think these no-name actors who suddenly blow up get too cocky and decide they’re going to leave cause they be “famous” now. Then they vanish until they show up on some cheesy SciFy made-for-TV movie.

    The Mandalorian (Spoilers)

    That was one of the things that didn’t make a lot of sense to me. He spent half the episode running up and down that hill. Dude, you’ve got a jet pack sitting right there?!?!
