Something else we do is every time we entertain or do a new setup or get new furniture we take quality photos of each room staged.

About a month ago, got "deluxe" chicken sandwiches for the wife and I. The "deluxe" part was just that, a single slice of tomato. Reminded me why I don't usually go there. Plus the chicken tasted like old fryer

good lord don't buy their birdhouses. Make your own or go to Wildbird Unlimited or order from Audubon or something.

It also lets you know when there's a package on the way through the postal Service.

The post office will send you a letter to verify you want informed delivery. It will go to the address you sign up for.

I'm locked in on this stuff (sorta) on my back deck, which I inherited from the previous owners. I'm not saying I'm gods gift to deck stainers, or anything, but I thought I did an okay job and that stuff is already coming off (again).

Exactly. Some of my “deepest” talks that have come up in conversations are ones where I hardly say a word. You don’t have to listen to reply, you can just listen to listen most of the time.
An honest facial reaction is often enough for people to feel comfortable being vulnerable.

Coming from someone who gets facefucked and writes about it online. Where’s your dad at.

No, you cannot. I am a letter carrier and must warn about informed delivery. While it is a good tool to see what mail is supposed to be heading your way, please note that the post office is having technical difficulties in terms of mail delivery. If you’re going on vacation you can ask to have your mail held for up to 30 days on the website.

Reply to comment by tn69c1935 in LPT Request: Why is my tax return so low? by ChickenCheeks7
No, because you have to pay a service fee when paying on a credit card. I had to pay last year and decided on the credit card route you pay approximately 2%, so unless your rewards card gets you better than that, you aren’t finding some kind of benefit by paying with a CC.

Yes that's better, but you can only really do that if you're making substantially more money every year. There is a penalty for underpaying, so you're risking a penalty if you underpay by too much.

This isn't really the case, if I'm being honest; just more Freudian logic. If someone has a bad relationship with their father, it doesn't mean they think of all men that way. They might have a fear or waryness of men based on past experiences, or will avoid men who seem like they're up to no good. But someone's experience with men isn't entirely shaped by their father; it's shaped by all the men they've met and interacted with.

Why would I put extra identifying information in my dating profile? Like ever?

You heat up a spoon with hot water then hold it against the bite.
