USPS has caused me great sadness

My son is 8 and his birthday is in October. I saw how some of y’all had recommended the Tim Jacobus artwork and I thought my son would love this for his birthday. He reads one GB book per day! Tim has been great to work with. USPS has been quite poor though. Super sad.

What other bands do y’all enjoy?

Not looking for cliche stuff like 3 Days Grace, Shinedown, Chevelle, Starset, etc.

I want to know what weird (I use the word ‘weird’ in a good way) stuff do you like? You know… stuff that has no similar sound to BB. The Used, Static-X, APC, Hurt, 10 Years, Since October, CKY, Deftones, etc. what interests you?

Sprinkler Riser Room

The sprinkler riser room next to our first floor apartment has recently started shaking and rattling our unit so bad that the rooms directly touching it are not viable to sleep in. I reached out to our shitty landlord and they didn’t do shit. Looked at it, left it, and we still have the problem. Do I need to contact the fire department to have them look at this? It is rattling half of our unit so bad that it sounds like there is an F250 diesel truck outside our unit idling nonstop.

We have lived here two months. It is a large complex that was just recently built and opened in February. The first month we lived here, there was no noise.

Skubal Jerseys are on sale

Took my family to a Tigers vs A’s game last year at Comerica and was lucky to see Skubal pitch. My kids loved the game and we had a great time. We live out of state. Since then, my kids have wanted Skubal jerseys. I couldn’t afford the $150+ prices. However… they are officially ON SALE! Got four Skubal jerseys on Fanatics for less than the price of one a few weeks ago. I figured some of you may want to get in on this. Go Tigers.

Target Score

Hit these bad boys at Target on the 70% off rack. Couldn’t resist. New throw pillows for the bed. Wife hates them. Perfect decor. They are pretty big.

Photos of my trek with a king sized mattress

Wasn’t ideal. However, it worked and I didn’t have to rent a moving truck!

Truck Shit

Hauled my king mattress ten miles in the rain. I need a beer. Thanks to the others who said I could (probably) accomplish this task.

Queen Mattress

Yesterday, I easily hauled a twin mattress.

Today, I was able to haul a queen mattress with a bit of struggle.

Tomorrow, I need to haul a king mattress…. Is this possible? I feel like I was pushing it with the queen.

Was able to get one pack of First Partner Series 1 when it dropped and one pack of First Partner Series 2 today! Happy with my luck.

Checking in 3 years later!

Still enjoying my Maverick exactly three years since purchase date. 27,000 miles. Still love the Alto Blue (glad I paid $500 more for the color). Brought home a 65” TV about 6 months back with it. It’s been a great family vehicle so far. Still miss my 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade that I owned for 20 years (traded it in for the Maverick). However, the Maverick has far fewer issues than my Jeep had and gets much better gas mileage.

World Cup Every Goal Pays Promotion

Anyone know what the bonus bets are that you get for this promotion per goal scored? I read the details and it still doesn’t say. It just says, “Get a Bonus Bet for each goal scored in the game.” That literally means nothing to me. We talking $1 Bonus Bet per goal or $20? Who knows cause the detailed rules don’t say.

Dagger

My Grandpa was born in June of 1922 in Michigan. He was in the Army and then the Navy during WWII. He spent time in the Pacific and then went to Germany and was part of a US concentration camp liberation team. He didn’t like to talk about it too much so I never pried. He had some apparel, swords, daggers, flags, etc. that he kept in his closet. When he passed in 2010, he left every one of his grandchildren one of his items he acquired during the war. This is what he left me. I wish I could have asked him more about it but I never got an opportunity (I was a kid at the time).

Is anyone able to help me understand anything about this item? I do not know the circumstances around how he acquired this. The engraving says PUMA SOLINGEN.

Trajectory Question

Hello!

I am a 39/M who is 6’0”. I do yearly physicals at my PCP and I’ve noticed a bit of a blood work trend that I’m starting to at least think about (trying to be proactive).

May of 2024
Creatinine - 1.03
eGFR - 96
Body Weight - 181 pounds

June of 2025
Creatinine - 1.11
eGFR - 87
Body Weight - 197 pounds

June of 2026
Creatinine - 1.25
eGFR - 75
Body Weight - 217 pounds

My triglycerides at my June 2026 test were high (355). Obviously, I need to eat better and do more cardio. I do lift weights a few times a week and can bench 300 pounds (I usually take 5g of creatine mono per day). However, clearly I’m trending in the wrong direction. No family history of kidney disease. Any advice or encouragement, or friendship? Thank you and have a great weekend!
