So my wife was laid off yesterday - full transparency, she's quite happy about it. She hated her job. She got some decent severance, and we're plenty capable living off 1 income for a while, maybe longer - so it's not a sad situation at all. I do have a question though as there's an aspect...

So I wasn't sure where to post this, but this forum says it's also for strategy talk, so wanted to get people's take.  I'm going to leave names out of this so as to keep it to strategy and not WSIS. In my playoffs, I'm in the semi-finals and both teams are having a bad week (standard scoring). ...

I did a little searching and didn't find an official Boatguys thread.  My parents just bought a house with a nice big dock off one of the tributaries of the Chesapeake bay this past weekend, fulfilling a life-long dream of moving to the water.  The even better news is it's only 2.5 hours from...

So my wife and I came to the realization that we are on completely different pages regarding the timing of deodorant application.  We're currently undergoing virtual counseling and hoping we can save the marriage, but Interested in the consensus opinion here...

So I'm looking for a Diamond tennis bracelet for the Mrs. for X-mas.  She's the world's most difficult person to shop for, so I usually just end up spending more money than I want to on shiny things.  In looking at diamond tennis bracelets, I came across lab-made diamonds and wondered what the...

Wondering if anybody here can help my wife and I solve a bit of a mystery.  My wife has a tendency to wear really thin t-shirts or tank tops around the house, or layer them when going out.  For some reason, all of her shirts eventually develop small holes right in the front/bottom, near where...

Every year around this time, I realize again how much I hate buying gifts for my wife.  It's not that I don't love her or don't want to buy her things, it's that I just suck at it.  This time of year it's the triumvirate of her birthday in late April, Mother's day in May, and our anniversary in...

So my wife was just telling me about an interaction my SIL had with her relatively new boyfriend.  He came over to cook her dinner at her apartment.  Apparently he made some lamb and it was a rather smokey, messy process.  No indication that it wasn't good, so there's that...but...AFTER dinner...

So I've had the same pair of black Cole Haan leather gloves for probably 10 years now.  The knit liner in them is almost completely detached from the wrist, and they're just generally looking kind of ragged.  It's time to get some new gloves.  You guys often help me find neat luxury items and...

So on Sunday my wife told me she was taking me on a surprise trip to Nashville for my 40th birthday.  We leave tomorrow and will be there Thurs-Sun. She's already got a few items on the agenda that I know of, and a few that I don't...The ones I know are: -A show at the Ryman Auditorium...

So most days at work I bring in a Lean Cuisine - I typically bring it in and put it in my mini-fridge under my desk.  The other day, I forgot to take it out of my bag, then ate out for lunch.  When I went to pack up to go home, I found the Lean Cuisine that had been in my bag all day...

I know we have a few Arizona locals on here - I'm hoping to get some help.  My sister-in-law is graduating from college in December and took a job with Honeywell in the Phoenix area.  She's in the process of trying to find a decent apartment, but isn't sure the best areas to look.  I was hoping...

I'm so sick of deer.  Little ######## keep eating every plant I plant.  Deer aren't supposed to eat Boxwoods.  ####### ate my little Korean Boxwoods over the winter.  ####### aren't supposed to like Marigolds.  Cropped 4 pots of Marigolds ON MY FRONT PORCH overnight.  They aren't supposed to eat...

So our hot water heater is on its last legs.  It's original to the house (1999) and most of what I've read says that they last 10-15 years tops...So it's way past its prime.  The other night it started throwing the breaker, which I believe is often due to the element shorting out.  We called a...

Does anybody here by chance work for the Department of Immigration, or have someone they know who does?  I'm trying to get something done to help a family member, and looking for a contact that might be able to help.  It has absolutely nothing to do with getting citizenship, green cards, visas...

I'm trying to get some LED shop lights, and apparently they have a heck of a deal on them, but we've only got BJ's :hophead: near us. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to order me some using their membership. I'm assuming that they can ship wherever and that it doesn't have to be...

Cops shoot farmer who was trying to shoot bull...wife has heart attack. You'd think cops in a rural place like Idaho would be a little better at dealing with somebody who had a gun. I can't imagine a farmer with a rifle is all that uncommon up there. Are these stories really more common, or...

Anybody else having this issue? Second time in a week it's disappeared....

Well...fall is upon us. I built a new deck this spring, and we got a pretty nice set of patio furniture delivered a few months ago. We've already got a deck storage box for the cushions, but I'm in the market for some furniture covers for the winter. We've got a large square table, 8 chairs...
