We are terrified of losing our jobs. We are told there is always another person waiting for your job. We are often a couple pay checks away from ruin.

Maybe we need to stop spending. Don’t buy it if we don’t need it. Live Spartan for a month.

JFC, RIP your water pump. My wife’s Highlander went 125k miles before needing one. My only complaint was that I had to unmount the engine to get to the bolts.

You can tell it wasn’t the real one because he didn’t take any snacks.

NOBODY saw this coming.

No worries, good conversation! I think the advice is general, and probably provided by the manufacturers. I’m overweight, about 250 pounds or 115 kilos so I think that I probably am much harder on my shoes than someone who is 30-50% lighter.

New balance.

The last pair split at the seams along the side, but I have very wide feet and my gait rolls along the outside like if I was skating.

I had previously heard that shoes are made to last 100 miles. Running shoes, supposedly 200 to 300. My walking shoes last 8 months or so, but I easily walk 2-3 miles a working day.

I would say that those boots did a great job due you, and I would buy another pair if I was you.

I think we just need to type louder.

Report and ignore. That will prevent future spam to you and hopefully others.

I have never gotten my beans or my frank involved in my zipper while wearing underwear.
