Sell Me a Washing Machine
I've been wanting to get a set of Speed Queens since my Whirlpool washer shit the bed a few years ago. Have been using the in-laws old Kenmore and I hate it. Think I'll use moving to a new house as an excuse to finally pull the trigger. Which ones do you have? The capacity seems small compared to all the other brands these days, but I have no idea what my old one was.

For a Roth IRA? 2021 limits are $125K AGI for single and $198K for married. They're up slightly for 2022.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
I always choose the flexibility because you don't know what the future will bring. I get a 60 month car loan and pay it off in 12-24 months if possible. Nice to know I don't have to if shit hits the fan though.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
I remember about five years back my daughter had a bad incident at her daycare that required emergency surgery. She was transported to the medical center and we had to wait in the ER area until the surgeon could get to us. It was absolutely packed. This was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday. I drove home to grab some things around 2AM and passed back through...still packed. Next morning was packed as well. I guess it's just always like that, but it seemed strange.

College Football Is Stale and Boring
It has been shitty for a while. We'll never win a championship, but I used to still enjoy watching random games on Saturday. Some of it is because I actually have responsibilities now, but in general it has lost some of whatever it used to have.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
80-ish seems like a good deal for a pool and kitchen. My Dad paid over 100 for that pre-Covid. I don't really know how much any of it should cost though and I'm sure there are a ton of variables.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
My BIL said people were paying $100K over asking just to get a pool around him. Seemed crazy to me. He's putting one in now.

I saw bottles of Bourbon County are up to $16-$17 now. They were $10 back when I used to buy a bunch of them.

Haha yeah. Message boards are serious business.

Reading through these it always amazes me when people are banned and come back as someone else. I assume these are functioning adults, but maybe that's assuming too much.

Also had the St. Arnold's Cognac French Press, but the bottle must have been tossed.

Rivals the mudhole in my in-laws backyard right now. FIL is in the middle of another one of his projects. I'll post a pic tomorrow with one of my beers.
