    Tip amount for Walmart delivery?

    this service is not available at my home but if it were- may not be a popular opinion but i don't see this job as different from any other walmart employee position and i don't tip the person stocking the shelves, the person who brings my order out for pick-up or the cashier at the register so...

    Bathroom renovation

    we had the flooring in our bathrooms redone with high end lvp and i LOVE it. so much easier to maintain-and it stays much warmer during the cold winter months. one thing we did that saved on cost (we did both bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen/entry hall all at once) was rather than having the...

    Montana in Early May

    keep an eye on the weather-bring some warm clothes in case (weather has been crazy this year). see if they have a convention and vistors bureau website to see when things like ghost town tours open for the season, when different events may be happening. may is the very begining of the tourist...

    What was your favorite book series growing up in the 80's-90's?

    i think devouring these as a kid is the basis for my enjoyment of all the true crime docuseries that run these days. i remember my 3rd grade teacher had the entire scholastic set of these so i set a personal goal to read all of them. they were realy enjoyable.

    Extra "guest" in room- EEEK!!

    if there was any chance it was a brown recluse i would not stay in that room. a friend was hosptialized and faced amputation of his leg due to it's bite. months of rehab. fever, convulsions, itching, nausea and muscle pain are considered the 'non extreme' reactions to their bite.

    What does “financially stable” mean to you?

    i cannot stress the importance of this. financialy planning for YOUR OWN future is vital and it must come before funding a full ride college education for one's child(ren). yes, student loans are a terrible thing to consider your child taking on but there are means during college to at least...

    Has Wal-Mart ever managed your order like this?

    the only delivery walmart offers here is the kind through usps/fed ex/ups but according to their site there's no mandatory tip for the 'home delivery' service where it's offered.

    what was your diet when you were a student?

    whatever my mom was making at the time. in college i was a commuter student so allot of what i ate had to be consumed during the 90 minute drive to or back from campus. i do remember one awsome vending machine in one of the campus buildings that sold heated items-small single servings of dinty...

    What does “financially stable” mean to you?

    this has always been a primary consideration for dh and i. when we bought our first home we immediatly got each of us life insurance coverage that would have paid off the home if one of us passed. we did'nt want either of us to be dealing with that on top of the death of a spouse. we increased...

    house trends you wouldn't want in your own home?

    not a fan of- all white kitchens (or all white/gray) laminate flooring that is made to look like some strange gray colored wood (looks to me like old fencing that has weathered and needs replacing/re-staining) under the counter microwave drawers butcher block counter tops (i think they would...

    Why are Americans so charming?

    i was thinking the same thing :rotfl: there was a reason myself and most of my theater buddies worked in the hospitality industry for a least some period of time-we could easily slip into character when we walked on property and become what our employer marketed to our guests. i used to SO...

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    we became 1st time homebuyers back in the 90's entirely because where we lived the rents were insane and it WAS less expensive, even with projected potential home repairs to buy vs. rent. actualy, with the tax savings we ended up ahead each month (and this was in the days of double digit...

    Bathroom renovation

    if you have small leftovers like small pieces of the flooring and extra tiles you might want to keep it to have just in case you need to match it in the future (easier to carry into a store vs just using a photo). also-if you had a specific or custom grout you might want to keep the extra in...

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    if more/smaller housing options are built absent off street parking it will be interesting to see how that plays into their pricing/ future value. i've noticed with recent real estate listings in our area that parking options are being more strongly promoted-and detailing it down into parking...

    Do I have a claim for Unemployment?

    good ahead and apply for unemployment-be honest and forthcoming on the circumstances. unemployment may find you had good cause for not relocating to a much further away location. my oldest received unemployment in the last year due to an employer who used almost the identical wording in...

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    i have a few old friends who are doing the nomadic lifestyle and seem to adore it. in all cases they sold their existing homes and are traveling to their hearts desires. in all cases though, they did through advice or experience decide that they needed some kind of 'home base'. with at...

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    i believe under that new law density requirements can be reduced in lots within a city that don’t have adequate water supply or public sewer service. i know that is the issue with the small city near us. developers would love to build more there-but unless they cough up the money i don't see...
