Got really lucky this morning. I've got 3 dogs, and I'm puppy (9 month old german shepard mix rescue) sitting for my son. I probably should have know better, as the puppy has already ripped off 2 of the dogs bandanas, but I never thought this could happen. 3 of the dogs were out playing in...

2 years ago, someone tried stealing my identity and applying for "payday and quick" loans. Luckily Discover and Chase cards notified me ASAP and nothing came of it. I've since froze my credit at all 3 agencies, but now I monitor my credit on a semi weekly basis. I've got a Discover Card and a...

Son and future daughter-in-law had a baby in February 2023 and are getting married in this May (which I know has no effect on 2023 taxes) Both make about the same salary although DIL is "probably" a office contractor for her dad's construction business. I'm not really sure yet and won't be...

Just venting now after a week of steaming............... So my 2 sons and I (run 1 of 12 teams) are in a semi competitive league ($500 entry fee) run by a friend of one of my nephew (who is also in the league, along w/ my boys grandpa). We finish as the top seed even after losing Chubb for the...

So my son and I were out walking the grandson this morning and started talking about his finances (he's 26, engaged, w/ a 6 month old). They just bought a house and are trying to learn to live inside of their budget. So we started talking about insurance. I work for a Fortune 500 company...

About a year and a half ago we moved my mom from her house to a "graduated" assisted living complex (ie as you graduate through aging, you would move from one area of the complex to another). She was in Group 1 of 4, which basically was an apartment with access to all the group activities at...

On Monday my son (26) was involved in a minor fender bender. He calls me from the accident and I walk him through what to do (exchange insurance, take pictures, get drivers license, etc). He takes care of it all and sends me pics of both cars............his BMW has damage to the right front...

Probably a dumb question, but I've found that we have a wealth of information in here. Son bought a raised jeep several years ago. I've been driving it around town since he travels more for work, as I get to work from home, Anyway, we were starting to get road noise from the front 2 tires...

So my son was in a wreck earlier this summer (left rear quarter panel and bumper-2016 Mustang). Finally got the car back last Wednesday. Body work and paint look great. However 2 miles down the road we notice that we barely get any FM reception and no AM reception. Immediately call the body...

So I'll go on a little rant regarding Best Buy so that you or someone else may be aware of this before it happens to them. Youngest son was heading off to college in August and wanted a new laptop. We head up to the local BB and he figures out which one he wants, what accessories he needs...

Question for anyone that has any expertise or experience, sorry for so long. Son's car was back ended in OK at the end of June. Driver did not have license (30 year old), but car did have insurance (via Grandma). Small local insurance company in OKC area. Rear quarter panel and bumper need...

We are in Texas........ Last night a storm rolled through.  Heard a splitting of wood while sitting at the kitchen table, but as it was dark could not see anything.  So I survey the back yard this morning and I see that one of the larger limbs (going straight up) from our oak tree has split and...

I'll explain the scenario and I'd like feedback. 1st, yes, I've already called the bank and they are investigating, but they don't know what or if they'll be able to find anything. 1 - Back in January someone tried to take a cash day loan out.  All my credit reporting agencies immediately...

Sorry for so long..... Back ground: So about a month ago someone tried to steal my credit identity and take out a loan.  So I've frozen my credit at all 3 agencies, but for the last month I get a ton of texts / phone calls to try to get me to "finalize" my loan applications.  Experion just...

Ice storm today, coldest temperatures in 40 years over the weekend, and then 7-12 inches of snow on Sunday night into Monday (I guess with it being that cold, it will be good powder). I know some of you in the midwest are experiencing the same thing, but we are not used to this.  Baseball season...

3 hour trip to Houston for baseball (Cowboy game on the way home), on the way down we listened to 16yo's playlist: Typical rap, teenage stuff now.........but he pulls out some of these and I was like 🤗: Dolly Parton - Jolene John Denver - Take Me Home Country Road Kiss - I Was Made For Lovin...
