1. I had to call a plumber because a toilet float was busted and I couldn’t remove it no matter how hard I tried. They came and “found” all sorts of things “wrong” and quoted me almost $4k. A quick visit to Google and 1 phone-a-friend showed that they were full of sheet. I finally had to break the overflow tube to get it off but successfully replaced it for $15.

It was replacing whole toilet and completely (and unnecessarily) disassemble the bathroom and main drain (loo, sink, shower) to “bring it to code.”

Why?

She was my best friend and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, regardless of whether I was sexually attracted to her. She’s the best human being I know.

We wanted to live together, we wanted to have kids together, we wanted to wake up next to each other every morning, and we wanted to grow old together. We wanted an exclusive relationship with each other even if sexual attraction was not a driving force in that relationship. I’m not saying that marriage is necessarily the right solution for anyone. For us, it’s just what made the most sense.

My wife and I have been together for nearly 8 years, married for two. In the time that I’ve known her she has had 6 vehicles. Her car note has increased from $200 to $800 in that time. I used to work in the car finance industry (so I know a lot about how the numbers work), but no matter what I say she keeps getting manipulated by this particular salesman into buying multiple vehicles from him (3 so far). I’m at a loss here…idk what to do. I negotiated for 6 hours with this guy the first time we bought from him, and she’s gone on her own for the rest of the vehicles.

There are moments in life — small, odd, sticky moments — that lodge themselves in your memory like a shard of glass in the carpet. You step on them occasionally, when you’re not expecting to. You’re not bleeding, not really. But the pain still feels real.

Language, as we use it every day, is a bit like the universe: endlessly fascinating, unexpectedly bizarre, and thoroughly misunderstood. Consider the phrases we toss about with reckless abandon—“bite the bullet,” “spill the beans,” or “raining cats and dogs.” Where did they come from? And who, for heaven’s sake, decided that was the best way to describe the situation?

Join me as we dive into the quirky, meandering history of 20 common phrases. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll definitely wonder how anyone in the 17th century got anything done at all.

She is everything to me. My closest friend, my lover, my soulmate..I can’t even describe how lucky I am to have married a woman like her. She’s witty, beautiful, kind, zero drama or bullshit, and dedicated to what ever she pursues.

She makes my parents happy, she keeps me going through my darkest times. I genuinely feel as if I hit the jackpot with my love life. Been together for just about 10 years and married for 5, and there isn’t a single other woman out there that I would ever have eyes for other than her. Life for me seems possible with her in it.
