I know they have been under fire lately for their business practice. But I need a new car and they have some that I cant get locally. Are they still a viable option or is it a run, run far away type of company?

I'm kind of hitting that stage in life (late 40's) where I want to start doing things that I always wanted to do but never did. One of those is learning to play the drums.  How hard is it to learn? I'd look to get lessons and such. But overall whats the basic timeline to be somewhat...

So I got adult asthma a few years ago. I had a few treatments and mostly its activity related. For a while I was getting allergy shots and I felt great. I was doing cross fit, running, looked and felt great. But after a while the shots started to wear off and were not helping. They prescribed...

Sesame Street to Introduce 2 new African American Characters link first off, I have no issue with the fact the SS is introducing black characters, thats not what this is about.  Second, I'm no psychologist so I have no scientific data to back up or disprove this, but I found this piece of...

Need to put this Planet Fitness membership to use.  Looking for a good, simple routine to work arms, chest and gut, prob 3 days a week for about 20-30 mins. Maybe mix in some legs on weekend, but my legs have always been pretty solid from playing ice hockey a few days a week. Nothing crazy...

Wife has a broker coming in to there school to discuss/sell some Aflac insurance products. She brought some brochures home and iDK much about them but it seems odd. They have programs like “accident advantage” where they claim to pay you if you go to the ER and stuff.  Idk, I didn’t think...
