One time my friends and I realized that you only have to be 18 to rent a U-Haul (compared to 25 to rent a regular car), so we fuckin’ rented a U-Haul pickup truck for $20 and took it up to Seattle just to hit the town for the day.
That’s an amazing loophole to exploit.
I used to do this all the time when I lived in Hawaii and didn’t want to rely on the bus to get me home from the other side of the island. Some tips:
1. Return it as clean as you got it, and be polite to the rental guy. They know perfectly well what you’re doing and as long as you are nice they’ll keep forgetting to tell the company insurance what’s up.
2. If you don’t have uhaul in your area nearly every moving company has pickups, shop around for price.
3. While shopping around, mind things like gas charges, cleaning fees and late return policy. Adjust your plans to be back in plenty of time to fill up the tank and take out all your stuff/trash/give it a wipe down of needed, even in the event of traffic/roadwork.
4. If you think there’s a chance you might end up staying overnight, get the extra day, because the late fees are rough.
a good way into the circle is to try to write down one nice thing (even if its just “i liked this one tumblr person’s hair” or something equally superficial) a day! If that seems like too much, try writing down one a week and just… slowly try adding more and more
Love when my cat flings himself into the air after a toy, but he has no style. Straight up ragdoll physics.
One day i want to take a video of Yardstick straight-up hurling himself into the void. Cats have no conception that there is a future. There is just now and the jingly toy.
i was the exact opposite bc I grew up in an old old house that always needed work and when I moved into my first apartment the landlord told me the bathroom still needed caulked and I didnt understand that meant she was sending someone to DO that so I caulked the entire bathroom and when the guy got there he went “did you……..Do This” and I was like “yes, and why, and who are you”
Small town culture is knowing that there are Old Folks with strange nicknames but never knowing the stories behind them.
Of course, I made the mistake of asking why everyone calls this one guy Brickaday and it turns out that he worked at a brickyard for 40 years, stealing exactly one brick every day and making no particular efforts to conceal the theft. Nobody thought anything of it until years later he was discovered to have built three houses.
His boss is said to have shrugged and made some remarks about the importance of coming up with a plan and sticking to it.
I‘m trying to arrange my face into an appropriate approximation of silent bafflement and failing miserably.
i appreciate brickaday

My grandpa once told me he worked with a guy called Scrappy at General Motors back in the 50s. Every few days he would wheelbarrow out metal shavings and the foreman was convinced he was stealing things and hiding them in the scrap metal to get it out of the factory. But every time they’d go through the scrap they’d find nothing. He was stealing the wheelbarrows.
One of my late grandfather’s friends was called Salami because he used to steal salami and cured meats so I’m seeing a pattern here
The 2019 ACA (Affordable Care Act) enrollment period has been shortened from 90 days to 45 days (November 1-December 15, 2018) and the advertising budget to promote open enrollment has been slashed in an effort to sabotage the program. You’re probably not seeing a lot of advertising (read: zero) about the enrollment window online or on TV.
