You wouldn't want to do that at Lowes or Home Depot. Their wood is not the best grade of lumber. You usually have to pick through half of the skid to get a few good pieces.

One of my friends is not a scrapper but more of a salvager. He goes around a nice neighborhood on trash night and picks up things to sell at 2 yard sales he does every year or on craigslist. His favorite thing to pick up is vacuum cleaners. 9 out of 10 are either just clogged because the bag is full or the belt broke. He fixes them and sells them for $20 to $60. Pays for his ski and beer money.

I've seen a lot of older people out. Some of it really stupid. Like the 50 something women walking her mother with a walker out of the store watching that she didn't fall. I wanted to ask her why the hell wouldn't you shop for her??? Then there was the 80 something women buying lottery tickets at the beer distributor. Buying lottery tickets is stupid enough but that's the only reason you went out now?? Most stores have senior shopping the first hour of opening but I see older people shopping at all hours. I guess they're the same ones going to the post office around Christmas and clogging up the line at lunch time when people who work are trying to mail a package on their lunch hour.

You could always get a bowl cut.

Next time give us a warning. You just can't unsee that. 😆

In a week or so you'll be able to find all of the toilet paper you want. The hoarders have closets full of it and will soon run out of space to store more. There is no shortage. it's just that crazy people bought and are hoarding a years supply of the stuff.

Thanks for clearing that up. There are people of all persuasions that do not immunize their kids thanks to the crazy antivaxers who have no education nor experience in microbiology.

I believe the Hasidic Jews don't immunize their children either.

Wow. That's a big lawn to cut with a reel mower. I looked into a modern reel mower a few years ago for cutting my 1/3 acre trying to be environmentally conscious. But they cut the grass to short. I cut mine high to help discourage weeds. People think cutting it short will let them get by with fewer cuts but it doesn't work that way and is bad for the lawn.

Your lawn is small enough to cut with a reel mower and you have to hire someone to do it? How much time does it save you?

April Fools. That and it's my daughters birthday. (no kidding.)

National parks charge a fee. State parks could too. Remember when the hoards from NJ/NY where over running the local parks and they had to close them on weekends. It's the same in the state parks close to the Delaware.

They spend more money on commuting and going through cars than they save on the house in PA. Never mind the cost of commuting time and mental health. They save nickel and spend a dime.

He doesn't need a skier. He just needs to meet someone who lets him ski.

Whatever you do, Salty. don't use the free sights. Unless you want to meet hookers and Russian women looking for a green card or your credit card. Pay up for Match or eHarmony and learn how to evaluate any responses get. You don't need needy women or baby mommas on welfare.

You need to get out of Hazleton if you want to improve your chances of finding a girl with an education, teeth, isn't in section 8 housing, and isn't already a Baby Mama with a nowhere to found Baby Daddy.

That's why I said you probably know the figures but most people don't run the numbers themselves and have no idea when they're getting a bad deal. The low buyout rate is also a reason that BMW's are such a deal on the used market. They're generally low mileage, well maintained cars and they're like cat shit. They're all over the place because of the low buy out percentage.

Sorry, Did all that thinking make your head explode?

I won't get into the argument but all of those conveniences are not free. If you feel that they are worth paying for no one can argue with you. I bet you know this but I would bet a lot more that most people do not know what price for the car and what residual and interest rate were factored into the lease. I would bet that most were screwed on all three and thought they got a great deal. TP4 would likely know how that works but I bet he wouldn't be willing to be totally honest about it. Car dealers make more off of leases than financing or cash purchases. So if they make more money how does the consumer also get the best and least cost deal?.....They don't.

You would be surprised how many of your friends have CC balances. Just look at the national average. And how many lease their cars? The most expensive way to not own a car.

I have a friend with a fairly decent credit card balance at a high percentage rate telling me how he gets "free" airline miles. With what he pays in interest every year he could pay for a whole trip out west not just the airfare with restrictions. Never borrow money for things that depreciate. And yes that includes a car.

Wow. $1.00. Don't spend it all in one place.

"Last week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention started recommending homemade face masks as a “crisis response” option for health-care workers, saying that items such as bandanas and scarves could be used in place of more official gear like surgical masks as a “last resort.” While fabric masks aren’t as effective as an N95 mask or disposable surgical masks, Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Rachel Levine said in a news conference on Tuesday that they may be “better than nothing.”

Depends on how much they raised it and if the price was raised to them. Either way, if people are reporting neighbors doing lawn work someone will report to the AG for price gouging.
