  1. Tizeye's post in How long your jeans last & style was marked as the answer   
    For years it was the cheap Wranglers, then Costco Kirkland. Usually have two I rotate, and the third “workout” for yard work and other dirty jobs. Another is dedicated to painting for obvious reasons. Before rotating, the primary jeans typically last 3 seasons with little wear during summer. Hardest part is buying - absolutely no stretch fabric, traditional denim only. Last pair I purchased, I splurged with Levi’s for first time in decades. Decent fit but worst pair ever. After two washings, wife thought I snagged a gash in rear. As I looked at it, weak fabric near rear pocket shredding. Ironed a patch inside, yet despite the reinforcement, continued pulling apart after next walk. Added liquid “fabric seam” glue to the reamaing threads above the patch to secure the hole/tear, and inside the edges of the patch that was beginning to roll away. After another wash and remains repaired. So much for premium wear…back to cheap.
  2. Tizeye's post in If you were going to adult a college class was marked as the answer   
    Perhaps a spelling and word useage class. I would learn to spell “audit” rather than “adult”. But then again, no grade so I wouldn’t care.

    Porch were I am staying in Sovai, IT overlooking vineyards. This ain’t Florida!
  5. Tizeye's post in Why was marked as the answer   
    Perhaps no solution was sought in the first place, and in some cases it would be downright tacky. An example...Petite's thread noting that Tina Turner died. What possible reply would be considered "a solution"? While that is a tacky example and in questionable taste, think about it. How many threads would actually garner a solution? 10% of those posted? Even that may be too high. Which raises the question of why the solution feature even exists.
  6. Tizeye's post in So, did you rent a car that time you visited Oahu? was marked as the answer   
    We rented a car on Oahu and really wonder why you would need a Jeep. We were at the Turtle Bay Hilton on the North Shore - one of two not in the core Waikiki central strip. Really, it is just one big road around it with a couple of cut throughs. 
  7. Tizeye's post in What is the password for the Cycling forum was marked as the answer   
    I would tell you but it would be a spoiler. 
    HINT: If you go to the “Home” menu where list all forums, the password is written in the description.

  9. Tizeye's post in Have you ever had someone of the opposite sex give you a rectal exam? was marked as the answer   
    Wrong side. I had a female GP take a culture swab inserting it into my penis. Still squirm just typing this but came back negative. The problem was, with my also being in the military medical, my wife had seen this hot female doctor at parties all over the guy. My wife says, “She did what? She held what?”
  10. Tizeye's post in Always a parent was marked as the answer   
    That drove me crazy when I was a stockbroker. While withdrawal at job change direct to another plan or IRA is a non issue, what would drive me up a wall was a withdrawal before age 55 1/2 because they "need" the money, usually to purchase a depreciating asset. It is not that they are diminishing their future retirement assets. Rather, it is THE MOST EXPENSIVE MONEY you can get. Even a high interest rate credit card is cheaper. For example. if below 55 1/2 and for easy math withdraw $10,000. In the middle 24% tax bracket, assuming it doesn't push you higher, $2400 is owed for taxes. Additionally, there is a 10% tax penalty based on the original withdrawal amount, or $1000. You effectively gave 34% to the government and netted $6600 of the original $10000, which probably doesn't meet your perceived need and have to take more, like closer to $15.000 to net $10,000.
  11. Tizeye's post in Vacation Plans? was marked as the answer   
    DAYTRIP!
    While the Yalaha Bakery is a must stop midway on a 40 mile bike loop out of Mount Dora. Great German bakery with breads, pastries, and a deli all baked/prepared on site. However, next to it is the farm with pick your own blueberry field - and only two businesses in the township with a population of 1345. Just saw on the local PBS program "Central Florida Roadtrips" as they covered Lake County and featured the farm. Since this photo was taken, they have expanded the product line, re-arranging the store to now accommodate an active still with Florida's first and only moonshine license. Don't know if they give free tasting sample - like a winery in the same county - but definitely worth a daytrip.

    Work? That a dirty 4 letter word. We don't use that type of language around here!
    Ahhhh...my virgin ears.

  14. Tizeye's post in First Glass, Now Plastic! Is Aluminum Next? was marked as the answer   
    No. It was first glass, then aluminum. Drinking beer in plastic cups is only when slumming it.
  15. Tizeye's post in So is limbs”falling asleep” blood flow or nerves? was marked as the answer   
    Blood flow
    To create the situation, you cut off blood flow - not nerves. The nerve interruption is a secondary response.
  16. Tizeye's post in In line to vote was marked as the answer   
    Plus the machine I fed the paper ballots in confirmed it read everything, so now officially in the count.  Looking at time stamps on the photos, from initial line to "I voted" sticker, took 1 hr 17 minutes.
