My experience has been mostly different. I recently broke something on my gas stove (by being an idiot) that made the two front burners unusable. I looked for replacement parts online and turned up nothing, so I called a repair shop and was

In Michigan, Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie is pretty common and available at any larger grocery store year round. Plain rhubarb pie (which is superior in my opinion) is much less common but still available upon request from most bakeries. Similarl

If she changes her name it's easier, cheaper, faster, and more likely to actually happen. I agree that she shouldn't have to, but it is most likely the best solution.

Sure, but the group that runs the festival doesn't want to raise ticket prices.

I know two guys who surf on Lake Michigan and Superior. They mostly go in the late Fall/early Winter because the waves are bigger, but the water is absolutely freezing.

Community College is cheap, really cheap. I took CC classes during the summer while I was in school, working an internship at the same time, to knock out some of my humanities classes. In total, it cost me around $1500 to take 15 credit hou

I looked at some pay ranges on Payscale and a few other sites and I really do not see that happening. Perhaps I could swing a 30% increase, but (after taxes) the difference in rent alone would consume most of that.

I just visited some friends in southern California and the possibility of me moving out there came up in conversation. So, I used a cost of living calculator to figure how much more I would need to make to be at the same level... 60% more.

That's really an issue with most luxury car brands, they become associated with old people because that group can more readily afford them. A $600 phone is attainable by most age groups, so I really don't see the same thing happen

Speak for yourself. Texas Winters with Alaska summers sounds awesome! The best summer weather I've ever experienced was 70-80 during the day and 60s at night. Absolutely perfect weather, until snow started to fall from November to June

Eating healthy comes down to so much more than whether you have a fast food burger/hot dog occasionally. Personally, I think the unhealthiest thing about a burger is the bun or the fries and soda that usually come with it. Very few fas

In some parts of the country, it's pretty normal. The roads are caked with snow for weeks at a time and you can get into white out conditions if the wind picks up. As long as you slow down accordingly, it's usually not an issue.
