Fishing. 5 bucks here and there, it adds up. Even more so, fly fishing. I have some many materials

Opposite with me. I've got 25+ years of hiking in, never been a gearhead. That shit's expensive. I buy one and make it work until it don't work no more

As a guy who rented out one house for a very fair price i can tell you I'm the devil.

I recently quit drinking... so much. I allow myself one fancy Belgian beer each night

Fishing fits the bill

Best way to beat a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit.

For some insects it's part of their life cycle. They spend the majority of their life in a larval stage after being born in the water. Then one day they rise from the water as adults, fly around and mate , finally returning to the water surface to lay their eggs and expire. This is the basis for fly fishing. The angler has to present a fly that imitates the insect in the particular life stage that the fish are eating. Mayflies, midges, caddis and stoneflies are the most common insects. Nymphs, pupae, emergers, dun, spinners are the flies imitating the life stages.

Started a savings account. Used to be what I had in my wallet was my life's savings, didn't think I earned enough to accumulate anything. I was wrong

I have plenty of experience working with contractors. I am a contractor. Many of my friends are contractors. When there is an abundance of work they'll bid high. If they don't get the job no big deal. If they get paid well then why not take it on, push lesser paying jobs back. Both times I heard this phrase they were making a big deal about nothing and I got someone to do it much cheaper.

Congratulations! You'll be fine. I knew zilch when I bought my first house (total dump) and learned as I went.

After 30 years of owning my own home my red flag is when they say "this is going to be a big job".

I was thinking more along the lines of The Tick, they're not so far apart I suppose

I've always had this fantasy of dressing up like a superhero and helping folks out. Like fixing flat tires and small stuff like that. I'd hire a sidekick to do all the heavy lifting while I stood around taking the credit and making silly jokes

Your money will go further if you donate to a local charity or food bank. That being said, I'll give money occasionally. It's nice to let them know others do genuinely care about them and their plight. Usually I'll talk to them first. If they're not too pushy I'll slip them enough for a couple of meals. Subway gift cards are a good way to go. There's lots of them and you know your money will go towards food. Most importantly treat them with respect and dignity

Which one? Lots of fedoras in this picture.

Headline should read "One third of Americans have no idea how a tariff works"

They probably responded by saying Christians aren't perfect just forgiven

Even if the Nazi party was socialist, would that be a problem? It's not evil to give the citizens of your country health care, it's giving only the Aryan people health care while giving everyone else the gas chamber or prison that's the crime. This is a propaganda tool I think, much like a strawman argument, a distraction. Just to illustrate the absurdity: the Nazis wiped their asses with toilet paper, are YOU going to be like the nazis? Better use your hand.there Hitler!

"You're really cracking yourself up aren't you?"

It's just one big white line
