My wife is cleaning up the basement. She came across a box of old matchbox cars and determined that people do actually buy them, so she listed about 20 of them on ebay for $5-$10. About half of them sold. Most of them went for $5-$20. One of them sold for $40. And after a week of bidding, one...

Who else here loves these things?!?! Some people call them "hillbilly bananas". I honestly didn't know much about them until a couple weeks ago. Stopped at an amish farm stand to pick up some corn and they had a few laying on the table, so I bought them. Girl there said to treat them like an...

I assume this is going to become a bigger issue moving forward, but what are employers to do with employees who refuse vaccination? We do contract work for a manufacturer who recently sent out a letter saying that no one can enter their building after 11/1 if they aren't vaccinated. We have 2...

Been thinking about this for a while, but starting to get much more serious. Looking at a place at the beach (bayside, not ocean-front). The main reason I feel like it makes so much sense for me is that I'm in a somewhat unique situation where I'd mainly want to be there during the off-season...

I have a freshwater fish tank in the basement. It's mostly filled with shiners/minnows that my kids and I caught from the local creek 4-5 years ago. Turns out, they're are dirty AF, so I also had one of those sucker-things that cleans the tank. Friday night, I noticed that the sucker-thing was...

Saturday morning, my wife and I went for a walk. There's a 3-mile loop that we've walked ever since we moved into our house 19 years ago. We've probably done it a thousand times. The majority of the walk is on a back, country road that winds along a stream and passes by a couple farm houses and...

Just had our 30th last weekend. About 10% showed up (35 out of class of 335). Seemed pretty light to me. Just wondering if that is normal? 

Last year after the Prom, some homeschooler-type Mom got on the school Facebook page and went on a tirade about the way the kids were dancing, which in turn sparked a huge debate (isn't Facebook swell?). She claimed it made her children uncomfortable and that there was tremendous pressure to...

Goose Island challenge inspired by Cody Parkey's missed FG Someone here please do this! Who was the FBG that did the FG challenge in the past?

Let me start by saying I live in a pretty small, boring, white-bread, suburban type area. Rarely does anything happen that I would consider thread-worthy. This morning on my way to work though, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a bizarre, once in a lifetime opportunity. My morning commute to the...

Today for lunch, I stopped in at a real authentic Pho place that I have never been to before. It was like stepping into a crowded market in a foreign country. The room was filled with unfamiliar sights and sounds and smells. Noticeably out of place, I grabbed a seat at the closest table. An...

Got into hunting for Morels last spring and found about 5-6 of them in the woods behind our house. My wife loves it, it's like a giant treasure hunt. Not surprisingly, there's a huge Facebook group of weirdo's that do this stuff. Went out for a few hours on Saturday morning, but no luck...

Just kidding  :P

Before we know it, it will be January and we'll all be fat slobs looking for a way to shed the extra pounds we put on during the holidays. Figured it might make sense to start planning this now so we can all hit the ground running come Monday, Jan 2nd. Also saves you from making some lame new...

Looking for a cool Xmas present for my girls (13 and 15yo).  They're finally starting to use the basement when hanging out with friends. Already has TV/music. They dont play video games. Already has shuffleboard and Foosball (which no one uses). They do like to play board games when friends are...

Looking for some songs/music suggestions that I can use for some extreme GoPro action movies. Should have a slow buildup that leads to an explosive crescendo. Can be regular songs or instrumentals. No Goldenplane, please.

Every couple of years I like to read one of these things to keep things in perspective. Not looking for anything super-deep or life-altering, just a friendly reminder to stop and smell the roses, not take things for granted, live in the moment, etc. Whatcha got?  :popcorn:

These little piles of dirt started showing up in the bathroom at our office. Clean them up and they're back again in a few days. Google says its either termites, carpenter ants or rats. Really hoping its ants.  What say the FFA?
