That is what negotiating is all about. I love to negotiate.


Finally a difference between us! I hate haggling. The price is the price; my offer is my offer; it's a yes or no scenario for me. If I'm buying, I go straight to the highest amount I'll offer; if I'm selling, then the lowest amount I'll sell for.

I'd knew I'd find (bing ai/chatGPT) good for something. I kept meaning to go through the PDF section on my Z-fold camera, but never get around to it. So I asked Bing Ai to create a summary of 20 operation instruction. Instant 20 list. Seems to be accurate. Just don't ask for math calculations.

I finally got around to putting my generator together that I bought last year after the hurricane. I was impressed, one push of the button on the Fob and it fired right up. I don't know why, but I was expecting it to be a big process to get it to work.

If it's gasoline powered, you might want to see about putting gas stablizier in the tank if you leave it filled up for more than a few months. Probably says in the instructions. Or just fill it up when you need to.

Thank you, I think I have some Stabil in the garage.

My house is falling apart.

My shower and toilet have backed up and make a terrible gurgling sound. From what I read on the internet it sounds like a problem with the air flow and venting. Will that require someone to get on the roof and bore the ventilation pipe?

I don't think that's a major repair. But that doesn't mean you won't get charged an arm and a leg.

No, on city sewer.

Got a flat tire today. Probably my first one in 15 years. I haven't changed a tire since 1990. Fortunately my warranty covers roadside assistance so Triple A was out in about 45 minutes. Took him about 7 minutes to fill up the spare and swap it on. Hopefully it can be patched because I still like this car and it only has 21,000 miles on it, I am not ready to replace it yet.
