    Only sorta related here, but not sure where else to ask. My seasonal allergies are killing me. Do any of you bros use a respirator/mask to filter out pollen and other particulates? I'm thinking especially of times like blowing off the deck/drive and mowing. My face is on fire, regardless of...

    Do you have stains? Do they have to install, match, and stain new wood to match old? Are they doing baseboards? But you still got a killer price. Good work.

    To do all that work, that's a pretty good price, I think. Working in new wood to match old, and getting it all sanded to the same level, and same colour is not quick work, really. I think you will probably end up staining the floor, especially with new wood being worked in. Sounds like a cool...

    It works if you have air conditioning, but that sucks because your house will reek for weeks and weeks. Also, here is a fun fact that many do not know - once you have used polyurethane in your house, if you have a gas stove, for a couple months after the application of polyurethane, you will...

    I'm always curious, should that technically be rums and coke? Would that be correct? Time for an intervention?

    Do you really think the people posting here that they don't want to swipe a used touch screen and then eat cupcakes are so stressed out about germs that it's having an impact on their immune system? No, no you don't. You're just overstating, as per protocol. Please, continue. I shan't give it...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Write a bill for the $700, add to it anything you think she unjustly takes when she moves out. Hold it as collateral that she leaves you the heck alone, or you'll press her for it. Might sound scummy, but it gives you leverage. She's obviously exploiting you for a place to live at the moment...

    I just tried the Kirkland Bourbon. It's like a punch to your entire body at once. Not smooth at all, quite abrasive, but a fairly nice flavour. Adding ice and letting it sit a bit helps.

    I'm a total backwoods, bears will kill me kind of camper, my family seems to like it, too. Cooking on those trips can be tough, but being creative is also fun. Taking eggs in, already cracked, in a 1 liter tupperwear, and use a spoon to get one yolk out and some white works, for example. The...

    Keep in mind that you have to pay income tax to the US after a certain amount is made, regardless of if you live in the country or not. You might want to check that out. Yes, I'm serious, and yes, I know people who live abroad and have to pay American income tax on their already taxed income.

    I made this tonight. It was awesome: Vietnamese Lemon Grass Beef and Noodle Salad (Bun Bo Xao) Recipe - NYT Cooking The dipping sauce is very balanced (though I used less sugar by about 1/4), and it is both an inexpensive dish, and it is a nice, refreshing dish for a warm evening.

    If they bring me a tablet, and ask me to sign with my finger, I typically use my penis, and I'm a restrained guy, so sanitizing after touching the swipe screen is probably wise. This is intriguing. Can you give me an example, other than sex, when you've been inside something alive? Are you a...

    I've seen people use tablets as a part of an integrated system that printed menus and offered paper receipts to sign. Just because they're using tablets doesn't mean shit. If they're using tablets and don't have a system that can produce paper receipts, they're a cheap, shitty business that...
