  • My wife and I were offered to live in her father’s rental house for free as long as she was in college. We were very excited to move in and pulled up to the house a week after our wedding. We opened the door and it was a disaster zone. It looked like someone had left all their belongings but trashed the place before leaving. Overturned couches, clothing everywhere, and ROACHES… oh god, SO MANY ROACHES! I walked into the living room and picked up a discarded baby sock in the middle of the room and at least three roaches fell as I picked it up and scattered. Every single item in the house was the same.

    After throwing everything in the house away, we had to bug bomb the house a dozen times to finally have some semblance of a home without roaches everywhere. We would still see them at night after turning on a light in a dark room for at least 4 months. Had to keep all food locked away until we stopped randomly seeing them.


  • My experience with modern automatics is that they are dogshit and constantly changing gears at times that I don’t need it to. Just a bit of a hill? Pull it out of overdrive. Very slightly accelerate on the highway? Put it in 2nd gear! Even really nice vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner have absolutely terrible auto transmissions. Just ruins the experience for me.

    Pro tip: Avoid caffeine if you are an anxious person. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and my doctor told me to drop caffeine and holy crap that worked great as a quick fix. Still get anxiety a lot but its not nearly as bad as when I would drink coffee in the mornings. Also, getting off caffeine helped my energy levels dramatically. No more crash every day at around 2pm!
