Got a nail in one of my tires. Tire place said it's not repairable. Slow leak, but have to get a new one ($160 including balancing/install).

Tread or sidewall? They may be scamming you.

Not sure, but it's been leaking all week, pumped air into it several times. Didn't see any obvious damage. I thought it might be the valve, which was the issue last time (2 years ago, different car and tires).

They already ordered the replacement tire for me, so if I'm being scammed I'm going along with it this time. They are fairly new tires, too, 6k miles Continental DWS (great tires otherwise). Been getting much better grip in wet and light snow conditions.

NY roads suck, by the way. Apart from dodging mattresses (see my prior post), animal carcasses, and debris, there are way too many potholes in both the city proper and the suburbs.

Those nasty bumps can be an issue, pop the sidewall seal and or damage your rim just enough that it leaks.

Today is comic book day or what ever it's called and my good friend who's a freelance artist from high school was at the comic book store in a town north of here selling his art. I haven't seen him in years so I wanted to go. Before I left the comic book store I had my mom take a few pics of us. When I got home and looked at the pics some of them had a woman behind us photo bombing. I don't know why people feel the need to do that crap. It's not you I want in my photo. Butt out!

Buddy was at Girl Scout rollerblade outing (with daughter). He stepped to bathroom, saw center communal urinal and shrugged and began to use. In walks a woman. He was in wrong room using equipment poorly. Snuck out back and phoned his kid from car.

I'm at work (software developer) and have a strong urge to meow loudly like a KITTY but the four co-workers in this room will probably think I'm weird. FML

Just do it.

It's likely everyone there has the same urge, and similar reservations. If one is brave enough to start I'm sure everyone else will join in.

I purposely keep my auto insurance around $100/month...increasing the coverage whenever I can.
Medical is expensive as f**k and I'm not allowed to have insurance (even though I have to pay the government $115/month to have none).
I was way better off before the ACA, I made far better use of all that money they're stealing from me.

Ummm... whuh? Serious question: can you explain that (without getting all P&N'ey)?

I've never heard a complaint like that before. I even promise I won't be all like, "well, no, actually...".
