Yeah this thread’s old but I’m shopping roofs again after another hail hit us near Austin, so figured I’d drop what I learned the first time. We switched from standard shingles to standing seam metal and had AllDone Construction do the whole job, they upgraded us to a lighter color, added ridge...

This reads like a hustle, not a service. I used Time to Close Title for a deal and I would not sign something that basically hands a stranger your house, lol.

It sounds like a perfect holiday combo day. A bit of Halloween, a bit of Thanksgiving, and a bit of Christmas - why choose just one?

If you want to avoid the exact scam where they say read the code and we will pay after, do the transaction in an app that provides a traceable history and confirmations. I used NOSH for unused gift cards: you upload the card, check the rate, and get the confirmation and the payment in the same flow.

The kind of joke that never gets old.

This list made me laugh more than I should. 'Staying Alive' is by far the most inappropriate yet perfect choice.

Virginia apparently has raccoon bars now. Guess he needed something to wash down last night’s trash.

I'll be honest I have mixed feelings about this, but leaning more hopeful than scared. My kids are growing up differently than I did. They have screens, robots that vacuum, technology that solves problems instantly. They won't experience boredom the way I did, or learn to sweep a floor the hard...

You’re right to be worried because this can get bad fast. If the animal is strong enough to open the access panel twice, it’s not a mouse. Raccoons and possums can do real damage to wiring and plumbing, and once they settle in, they don’t leave on their own. I’d call a professional wildlife...

Those old fluoroscope machines are terrifying in hindsight. It’s amazing how many everyday things used to be totally unsafe and nobody questioned it. Makes you realise how much our standards have changed

Totally agree, once you go over 3 lbs, the meat starts getting tough no matter how careful you cook it. I’ve settled on the 1.5–2 lb range too, way easier to handle and sweeter. I usually order mine from Maine Lobster Now, they ship them live overnight in chilled boxes so you can cook the same...

I really think it depends on the person, but I lean toward yes too. My grandma adopted a cat when she was 76, and honestly it gave her days structure again. She’d talk to him like he was a roommate, complain about his attitude, sometimes sing to him while watering plants. It was adorable. When...

Nothing says “modern mystery thriller” like trying to decode your electric bill and getting ghosted by customer service.

Honestly, every day is World Goth Day if you still wear black in July and cry to The Cure unironically.

Interesting to see how many people are finding relief through cannabis or CBD, especially for things like sleep, anxiety, and chronic pain. It’s not the taboo it used to be, more people are just quietly using it to improve their quality of life. If anyone’s curious about different products or...
