Fast food always had to pay over minimum wage to get people to work there. My memory of high schooling job life, the video rental stores and the movie theaters would pay the ~$5 minimum wage amount because they gave the kids perks and people wanted to work there. But you would get paid more frying ...

Yeah the Alcatraz thing is something I've seen highly recommended everywhere so its on our to do list.

My wife wants to see the Golden Gate Bridge and other touristy things (besides going to the game). I think we are going from a Sat-Thursday (haven't booked it yet)...so we should have Sunday/Tues/Wed and part of Monday to do thing with Monday afternoon being the game.

Japantown, as in the city proper of SF?

I believe so? I'm a total noob, I just saw that name come up and Hotel Kabuki when I was searching stuff. I know nothing about any of the areas around there....I'm just trying to find stuff for us to do other than go to the game on Monday night.

I think my current HYSA is around there right now. I haven't seen anything much higher..maybe 4.75% but it seemed to have specific requirements.

Places to stay/avoid in San Fran/San Jose if I'm going to the 49er game? I know the stadium is in Santa Clara, but I'm trying to figure out best place to stay that will give us other places to go to the other days we are there. Japantown seems to be coming up alot as a good place to stay.

Those look like AFL/XFL/UFL uniforms or whatever.

@skullman80 Just signed the Insulwise proposal. Going to do the attic and crawlspace as well as seal the ductwork. I assume you took fed tax credit last year - did you attempt/were you successful getting any sort of credit from your utility company? Duquesne Light has rebates but the rep said folks...

Plans are forming to fly out to SF (well Santa Clara) for the 49ers/Jets home opener against the Jets on MNF. Still some things to work out but I think I can make it happen.

That first half of a schedule up until the bye should be a cakewalk. Lots of bad teams outside of maybe the Cowboys.

Don't forget to phone your in-laws the night before and ask them to watch your dog.

Like responsible pet owners we made a reservation to have Murphy boarded at camp even before we booked out trip lol.

This trip to Jamaica can't come soon enough....just a few days to go.

My in-laws live off of Dix Dr, and we travel 48/30 regularly so that project should be fun.

LinkedIn is honestly 99% cesspool. Every once in a while there is something worthwhile on there, and I'm on there just to network, but overall it's a giant turd of people patting themselves on the back and making AI generated posts.

happy birthday!

I think it also comes down to how comfortable you are with money overall and the stress that comes with that. If we were tight on money and were living paycheck to paycheck we would probably go about things a bit differently. We are very lucky to not have to live that way right now so neither us of ...

Good stuff mac.

On the disney thing I wouldn't care if my wife wanted to go on a day trip. Go have fun. None of my business really to be honest. I feel like we've discussed the bank account thing before. We have a joint "house" account that mortgage and other house related things gets paid out of. We both dump "X" ...

Yeah that kind of stuff is insane to me. The last thing that guy should be worried about is anything related to work.

Rosie passed away this morning, at home and on her own terms. She was a great dog and got a raw deal health wise. I'll miss her a ton.

So sorry man. Take time to grieve. It's necessary.

I already mentioned to my wife that we should plan to be away during that week lol. The thing is there is a softball tournament that weekend in Ohio again (world series of softball) and I think it's four days. I'm pretty sure they plan on going on vacation right after that tournament...so in all rea...

lol Boston self destructing.

I’m not sure why my gears are so grinded over this but they really are this time. I feel bad cause the older dog is super sweet and overall is a great dog, but she just needs so much care and attention at this point. These last few nights honestly felt like we had Geno back alive cause how their dog...

It’s better to do it a touch too soon rather than wait till it’s too late. Trust yourself that you are making the right decision.

The ending to dog saga just gets more annoying. My niece finished up their tournament at like 11am. My MIL texted my SIL and asked what their ETA might be in the afternoon. They then say they are going to the park for a couple hours. Fine I get it…annoying but whatever. We hear not a word until 615 ...
