How much has Covid affected you financially?
15% hit to retirement accounts, but I have a feeling I’ll lose more when the market will implode again through August. 20k losses in non retirement account. Feeling like I’m beyond blessed.

OTC Allergy Meds
Kirklands brand of Zyrtec is dirt cheap. I take that and also Kirklands Flonase. I’ve used Claritin and alegra in the past and both stopped working... it seems the body gets used to the med.

Family Heirlooms & Shit You Wont Ever Let Get Out Of Your Bloodline.
- One grandfather’s Elgin - Another grandfather’s Rolex - Same grandfather’s burial flag - Maybe a few of dads guns. He’s got so many none of us have room to keep them all. That’s probably it. We’re not overly sentimental and all of the furniture grandfather made was already snagged by my aunts.

What are you getting your wife/gf for Christmas?
Nope. I won the lottery in this department. No fancy jewelry, designer purses, Italian shoes...none of that shit. I’ve contributed my share to the wives thread, but it wasn’t for crap like this.

What are you getting your wife/gf for Christmas?
The key is to pay attention and to be thoughtful. My wife doesn’t dig consumeristic Christmas so I try to get something unique. This year she is getting a prayer book from 1926. She loves books, her faith, and she has a fondness for history and antiquity. This gift will be a home run grand slam.

I love my series 4. My most common uses... texts, viewing my calendar, reminders, weather, Strava, workouts/heart rate monitor, music apps, MFA, screening phone calls, timers.

Car stereo place in austin?
Some brands are not compatible with some of the bypass relays that emulate toggle off and on. As a result, theoretically one could just install a switch to toggle on and off manually If needed.

Why do we keep fucking this up?
Lost almost all defensive starters Mash unit at secondary 2nd string QB is 2nd string RB Lack of depth in multiple groups You guys are delusional, if you don’t think this is par for the course. Rome wasn’t built in one day, but it burned in one.

Anyone use steamer for their clothes?
I have a handheld that I use on my wrinkle free shirts if they don’t get pulled from the dryer in a timely manner. Works to get wrinkles out easil and faster than ironing. However as the previous poster said it won’t crease fabric.

Help me buy a new television
Interesting... I’m looking at Sony vs LG oled...Sony pic looks sharper and the pic settings easier and less fussy. LG pic seems to be brighter and the colors more brilliant. I haven’t looked at quality yet but have always had good luck with Sony products.

Alternative to Chrome
Jimmy, keep us posted. I recently found the same thing on my wife’s computer but have been too lazy to fix it. By the way Windows 7 is supposed to be end of support in January 2020.

Buying a new water heater
Agree with this 100%. It sucked writing that check knowing the ROI isn’t there. However my paranoid ass is also enjoying the endless hot water. Also agree that electric ones aren’t well regarded. Luckily I had a big ole gas pipe there.

Buying a new water heater
Yup. I replaced a 40G in my attic with a tankless. Was $4200 and then I got a $650 rebate from Texas Gas. Net it was roughly 2x the cost of a conventional. However I like not having 40 gallons overhead. It does much better supporting simultaneous showers running so that is a bonus.
