  1. Rentmasseur link above now a “404”.
  2. I would have said “buy it”. I just bight a new car, well over 50% cash/trade in down payment, the balance a loan that’s very short term, aggressive payment schedule, 18 months done. This works for me. The comments about a new car losing 15-20% of its value in the first year is far too kind. I often joke it happened when you feel the wheels of your new car leave the dealer driveway and hit the street! Just try and turn around and sell it back, lol.
  3. Ok it was an off topic food science question ? there’s an enzyme in fresh pineapple that won’t allow gelatin to set properly. The enzyme becomes inactive in the pineapple canning process.
  4. Who knows/remembers why out moms used canned pineapple vs. fresh ?

  6. My friends and I would collect and return them for “candy money”.
  7. 132 column please...
  8. @WilliamM even inheriting a family home could be a significant inheritance. Also a modest cash, retirement account balance. “Inherit” doesn’t equal DuPonts, Vanderbilts, etc. True “ inheritance baby” with complete financial independence might be rare, but significant inheritance is not. After all....why politicians always want to always tax it??
  9. A reference to a classic comedy line from “Airplane”
  10. +1 I love it although I’ve temporarily inactivated my paid subscription bcs of covid. I’ve been on I think 3 years now. Great resource.

    Agree, and I’ve meet some UCSD students via Craigslist in the past and nowadays Seeking Arrangements. I’m usually visiting in Del Mar/Solana Beach area so pretty close.
  12. Kudos @jjkrkwood ????
  13. 61
  14. Blue Chip Stamps too!
  15. Weren’t 78’s ahead of all them? My grandparents left boxes of 78’s to the grandkids! 78’s history
  16. And “E ticket” didn’t mean electronic ticket ?
  17. I would counsel you to move on. Starting anything legal up will likely branch into avenues you can’t picture right now, that won’t be fun. It’s awful what he’s done....but I doubt carrying any action forward will be beneficial to you. My 2¢

    Yes, 111 sounds like a lot. The minority have the icon below showing they are based in San Diego....and you’d be surprised how difficult it is to get a guy out of his WeHo enclave ? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t find a way to search “based in...” their home port vs a traveler? And not the GPS “near me” that doesn’t really work.
  19. I had this service available daytimes at an Orange County, CA office I worked at once upon a time.

    Yes, a resource between Oceanside and San Diego that’s sorely missed.
  21. Not the same, there are many varieties, mine go under my clothes like the pic below. Mine is much less bulky though, thinner fabric material
  22. Plus one on the backpack for travel. Mine is coming up on 30 years of use and I wear it’s worn age like a badge of honor. Side note, I travel with a money belt often too, less so in recent years. Both are sadly dormant the last 12 months.
  23. He’s also here: https://rentmen.eu/MikeBrazil We chatted recently via RM messenger but our schedules did not align.
