I know there's at least a couple of Oregonians in this forum. Heading out your way mid-sept to drive around your state and see all the wonderful things it has to offer. Here's the rough itinerary at the moment -Flying in on a friday night and staying in portland -Sat: heading to canon and...

Dryer (15 years old) crapped out a few months back. Tried repairing it myself but no dice. Been using the laundromat since then. Not a big deal since its just me and I can just do it during work hours. Girlfriend mentioned something that she has through her electric company where she pays a...

I love election night and the only time I visited the political forum was then . I always felt the thread for the coverage of election night and the subsequent days of continuing uncertainty was very informative and reasonable. Now that the political forum is gone, any suggestions on where to...

Been dating a woman for about a month now.   Things are going really well and I see some long term potential here.   She checks all the boxes and then some except for her financial situation.  She currently has a small clothing business (mostly handmade hats, scarves and other accessories) that...

Going solo.  Lodging will be entirely within Sedona.  Sticking to mountain biking and hiking along with the normal sight seeing.  Have 3 days already covered for mountain biking.   Could probably fit some other light stuff in those days, but nothing too physically exerting.   That leaves me with...

Its not as severe as the title might sound, but driving along the interstate yesterday, front passenger tire comes completely off (all the lugs snapped).  I was experiencing some vibration in the steering wheel and what I can only describe as a beating noise coming from the front end for the...

Thinking ahead to next winter and considering getting something not too crazy expensive like the skytrak.    That's probably a lot nicer than I'll even have it since I'll be looking to cut some corners with aesthetics to save a few bucks.   I really don't need anything too crazy.   The launch...

Was driving back from my ex-wife's house and needed to get some food.   Everything is closed around here so I just stopped into the supermarket.   Was originally leaning hot dogs but decided on some good old fashioned peanut butter and jelly with milk; delicious.   Knocked down the first couple...

I'm talking like less than 20 buck cheap.     Harbor freight head lamp.  I use this thing all the time it seems.   Even when a regular flashlight will do, I tend to just chuck this thing on.

Mom is converting to natural gas.   She gets her underground oil tank removed and they find a leak.    She brings in company to drill soil samples around the leak to find the extent of it.  Some of the oil apparently made its ways onto the neighbor's property; his property starts about 10ft from...

Go!!!

The wife and I have been separated for 8 months in NJ.   We're looking to go ahead with the divorce and we were going to do it on our own, but I wanted to get a feel how much it would cost to have someone else handle it.   Everything has already been agreed upon with custody, no alimony, I keep...

Just came back from seeing this.   Unless you're the anti-sentimental movie type, I would highly recommend seeing this.    A lot of funny lines in the 1st half and then the 2nd half really starts pulling at the heart strings especially if you have kids.   Be warned, you might want to bring a...

No bueno?  Yes I'm a frugal sob.   It just grinds my gears spending $1.50 for something that I can get for a quarter.  I typically just drink tap and I'll ask for a cup at a chain place like Chipotle but I feel weird asking for one at some mom and pop joint.

Years back while I was working for a financial services company, I opened a scottrade account in my wife's name; not sure if I couldn't just have done it in my name.   I've since been using that account for trading purposes.  I'd like to transfer the entirety of that account to an account in my...

Getting some work done on my car and got quoted a price as well as a cash price which was a nice amount less.   I'd rather not have to go to the bank and take out $700 which would most likely involve a trip inside.   I forgot to ask the mechanic this, but can I just write him a check made out to...

This is the first I've ever had to deal with this, but I have a co-worker that most days smells like he slept in a puddle of urine.   He's on my software team so there's no way of avoiding him.  I've talked to a few people at the office and everyone is in agreement.  No one knows how to...

We're talking you're close to retirement or in retirement and you're faced with these two choices to either make a little extra money and/or stay busy. This is going down in white suburbia in the northeast so you have a reasonable idea of the type of kids you're dealing with and the type of...
