    Everything Happens in Threes

    Like the saying goes, “everything happens in threes.” Kinda like Momcilovic hitting three straight threes against Arizona to close out the first half last Friday. 1. Neighbor to the north of us passes out at the gym in the sauna, Ambulance ride to the hospital and two days later, gets a...

    Whirlpool Ice Maker Fix or Replace?

    I went to get some ice out of our ice maker indoor hopper this morning and the hopper wasn't full like it usually is. I opened the lid to find ice cubes sitting on top of the fingers that rotate and remove the cubes from the tray so they can fall into the hopper. It never completed its full...

    Being a “Good” Neighbor

    So my eccentric neighbor mulched his leaves between our houses yesterday. I had mulched and bagged the leaves a couple of times the last couple of weeks in the same area. After it rains last night, he decides this morning to rake the leaves away from his house and mulch them and left me with...

    Fast Pass for 2025 Game Entry to JTS

    Has anyone seen anything on this yet? I've searched and haven't found anything on it. Sure hope they do it again this year as it was a great option to get in as it way easier than scanning your ticket.

    Mow or Weed Eat First

    Was mowing my neighbor's yard yesterday and noticed the gal that lives behind him on a rider mower, taking the grass down to about golf green height. When she was finished, she brought out her weed eater and was cutting some taller grassweeds. I didn't see if she cleaned the mess up or not as I...

It was still dark out and I opened the lid, threw the bag in and heard the clunking noise.....FML.. Not only did...

    Home Equity vs HELOC

    I read a lot on both. Each has their positive and negatives. I just don't know as much on HELOC compared to home equity loan. Sure a HEL has a little lower interest rate and the HELO is just a tad higher rate wise but it is a variable rate. Any input would be appreciated just to get some more...

    Going Rate to Get Your Taxes Done

    We have been paying around $400 to get our taxes done the last couple of years. We used to pay over $500 as we used Schedule A for years for an in home daycare. We live in Ames and is this the norm for having someone do your taxes anymore? My mom' lawyer used to do hers for around $150, but...

    Long-Term Care Insurance

    I keep hearing yes and no on this. Our financial advisor mentioned long-term care insurance just to let us know it is out there. I'm amazed that long-term care insurance is more costly for women than men. Almost twice as much. A monthly max benefit for instance of $5,000 for me is around...

    ESPN Cuts …Again

    Just saw where they let go Samantha Ponder and Robert Griffin due to the old “ budget cuts”. Both with ties to FSU, as are married to FSU athletes, had social media issues. RG3 stood up for FSU on a segment with Paul Finebaum. Finebaum is a d!ck with ears and drinks SEC kool-aid. Was never...

    What issues will there be for scanning football tickets this year?

    Downloaded my season tickets for the upcoming fall season yesterday and it got me thinking about what the whole process is going to be this year compared to last year. Don't know if this will change or not but last year if you went in from the north side and your game tickets are on the west...

    Anyone know what color uniforms we are wearing against Texas? I’ve heard Texas is going all white. I’m hoping it’s cardinal.
