When was the last you've seen or picked up a hitchhiker or hitchhiked yourself?

Summer 1996. No mobile phone. Fifteen miles east of Santa Rosa New Mexico on Interstate 40 heading west. My 1987 Chevy S10's transmission just stopped "going". I sat there wondering if it would spontaneously fix it self, and it didn't. I got out of the truck and put up the hood to indicate...

How do I get Coke syrup (like they have at restaurants where soda is dispensed from fountain)?

The necro was obvious to me bc the age of Sodastream brought homemade sodas into the light as people got creative trying to avoid paying high prices for Sodastream syrups (and CO2 charging systems).

Delenquent DirecTV bill sent to collections

When I first left school and got my own place, I set up Verizon DSL to automatically charge my credit card every month. When I moved out of that place, I cancelled the Verizon service, sent their equipment back, etc., but they kept charging my credit card. I called them and asked them to stop...

Is mosturizer a gimmic?

Lubriderm for hands and body as needed; least greasy stuff I can find because I used it while in school and needed to use a pen/pencil. Olay Complete All Day for face; every morning. It's got a little SPF built in, and I (after using it since undergrad) can feel my face skin being dry if I...

Auto loan process

So... you're saying stuff about needing a helmet and a jacket and a little more experience on a bike. How much experience do you have on a bike? I'm asking bc I wonder if it's time for you to be dropping $8k on a bike, or maybe if it's a better idea to spend $2k to $4k on a "lesser" used...

Millennial Roll Call

LOL! I took typing as an elective in high school! All of my resumes and college letters were typed on a typewriter bc I didn't have a computer, and laser printing was something that only businesses had (everyone else had dot matrix). I still have an electric typewriter in my closet along with...

When should you work with a head hunter?

I agree with the advice to go the direct route if possible. In some cases, the recruiter has an inside ear with the company, and they'll get you noticed instead of you being in a pile of resumes. My experience is that recruiters are looking to place a body into a position, and they're not too...

Parents want to buy a house before they retire. Location recommendations?

I live in Redondo Beach. While the Japanese are in Torrance, it's an older generation that's dying out and/or becoming Murican especially as the Japanese auto companies left. I'd say Torrance is more Korean than Japanese... but to say that it's not Chinese would be false. I mean, compared to...

Auto loan process

I'm totally not following, so maybe my understanding is flawed... OP is saying he's been saving and it sounds like he's close, but he's being impatient and wants bike now. OP is saying that he needed to take a $7k minimum loan at 9% interest. So, it sounds like most of that $7k minimum loan...

amazon prime false advertising

I usually see the delivery date as I'm checking out, and that's the final check to make sure stuff isn't coming from China (or it'll be here when I want it).

Yeah, I'm looking at west and maybe south Torrance, 3bd and I'm going in with 800-900k... and that gets me a 1600sqft place from the 1950-1960s. If they're retiring, this is the wrong way to go.

Thinking of quitting my career job. Need help!

After 5 years in, it's a good time to jump ship and move on to something else. It's still not clear to me why this requires quitting job, learning something new, moving in with parents, etc. If you want another job in another industry, start applying for new jobs and see what comes up. I'm...
