I am slowly starting to realize in life that the more routine I make something, the easier it makes it to get it done and take the decision out of doing it or not. I've been against routines all my life because my parents were hardcore routine it was annoying how they would never sway from it or...

Winter Blues start to kick in for me about halfway through January and I have to go somewhere warm and sunny and get outside. We used to always go to a cheap all inclusive for a long weekend, but our trip to Iceland this summer kind of ruined ever wanting to do a resort again. I found a love for...

Hello all! I am self employed and travel on the road often for work with an enclosed trailer in tow. I recently tried to stay at a cheaper hotel this past weekend to save some money (Sleep Inn) and had an awful experience. I generally stay at Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, and hotels in that...

Anybody else set resolutions or goals for the new year? My 2017 goal was no more fast food, and to my surprise it was much easier than I thought it would be (Chipotle doesn't count!). For 2018 my goal is to meal plan and set weekly agendas, including going to the gym 3x a week, no exceptions...

Looking to go on a long weekend trip Thursday-Sunday in mid January. We don't want a cruise or all inclusive resort. Looking to go somewhere warm, relax, safe to wander around, trails or simple things to do, good food. Last year we went to San Antonio for 2 nights and Austin for 2 nights and...

Hey guys! I am in the market for a new laptop and am having a really, really hard time finding what I need. I'll try to keep this quick and tell you exactly what I'm looking for -17"+ screen (I'm a designer) -Windows , I guess 10 (if 7 is an option, I might go with that because then I'll know...

Hey folks! I am getting ready to trade in my 2012 F150 fx4 Ecoboost in for probably a 2017 F250 6.7 TD. I love my F150 and would keep it much longer, but I have recently begun hauling a 16' cargo trailer, and when the trailer is full I am sad to say that we struggle a little. Also we go from...

I have our sights set on traveling to Iceland probably this June. I am curious what all there is to do there, what someone from the states might need to know when traveling to there and anything else. On a related topic, when traveling somewhere knew, what's the best way to find...

Does anyone have or know of a brand/type of trail camera, that only records during specific times of the day? I want to get a few for around the property. The problem is, me and my dogs walk the perimeter of the property several times a day and I don't want to get a million pictures on the...

I have been thinking for awhile about getting some type of fitness tracker, I think I might ask for one for Christmas. I would love to hear from anyone who has one currently, what type it is and what you like or don't like about it. I would mainly like to track my activity level and heart rate...

I was wondering if anyone has any advice when it comes to selling a home regarding FSBO vs. listing with a realtor. So far we have fully decluttered and updated our house, had it appraised, professional photos, and put listings on zillow, fsbo.com, and some local facebook groups. I didn't pay...

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I tried searching and wasn't having any luck. How is your speeds, and about how much do you pay a month? Are you able to stream netflix and such? I figured I could search google for answers but would like to hear first hand from anyone with this...

Just curious if anyone has ever been to one, and successfully purchased property from one? There's one coming up this weekend and there is a property I have my eyes on but I don't think I have the balls to bid. From what I hear you have to have 10% down, and already be pre-approved for a...

I am not new to seeing this, but today I'm finally wondering, how does this seriously work? Lets take this dog whistle for example on Ebay, which costs 76 cents directly from Hong Kong...

My spouse and I will be taking a short vacation beginning of March and we have our sights set on Austin. I was there a few years ago for work and always wanted to go back with my spouse. We are looking at traveling Weds or Thurs-Sunday. We enjoy drinking craft beer, visiting local breweries...

My spouse and I are in the market for property. We were originally working with a nice agent. At one point we made an offer on a property. The asking price was $80k. We offered $50k, sellers countered at $62k. Just like that, they dropped it by $18k. So we decided to hold out at $50k, nothing...

I saw a Bald Eagle today while driving home, and caught a video of it on it on my dash cam. I uploaded the dash cam file which is about 3 minutes long and I want to crop it so that it's just a few seconds long, mainly just the part where I drive past the eagle, and share it with friends and...

I was curious if anyone here has installed their own solar power systems for their home, particularly one that is completely off the grid with no outside electric hook ups.

Looking for ideas on how to keep deer out of my yard or away from my plants at least without using chemicals. I thought it was really awesome last week to see 2 really nice bucks in the neighbors yard, until a couple days later, they knocked over solar lights, rubbed up on my tiny little cherry...

I don't know where to begin and there seem to be a lot of handy folks on here so I thought this might be a good place to start. Basically, I spray paint a lot of crap, mostly outdoor stuff, wood, metal, etc, and the $1 cans of white and black at walmart seem to suffice but when I get colors, I'm...

Right now we have a Chase Rewards card. We get 1% back on all purchases, then occasionally will get 5% back on other categories or certain stores. We use the card for bills and necessary purchases only, and the rewards do add up. My mom informed me she just got a credit card from Capital One and...

The business is for making decals and shirts. Specifically I can make car decals, interior wall decals, and do screenprinting. I've been trying so hard to think of a businss name that my brain is fried. My struggle is trying to come up with something unique that isn't overrated. For example, so...

For any dog lover, this is a really, really sad story. It happened just a few miles down the road from where I grew up. Cliff Notes: a Basset Hound and Labrador got shot by a neighbor who alleged they felt "threatened" by the dogs. Hound died, Labrador is still fighting for it's life. Dog...

I'm self employed/sole proprietor and my business is doing well. My spouse has been tossing around the idea of quitting their job to work for me. We currently get health insurance through my spouse, so before they quit I'd like to know what we'd be looking at paying for decent health coverage...
