I just saw a really funny Volkswagen commercial on Hulu.. it's a guy in his car pulling up to his driveway and Siri suddenly reads him a text from his wife that says something like "hi honey my mom decided to drop by. see you soon" and then you see the dude back out of the driveway and Siri reads him a text that says "where the f--- are you going?" from his wife hahaha
Anyway I can't find it on the internets anywhere. My google/youtube skills are not helping. Can anyone find this?
will you post a video of your favorite commercial(s)? |

Going to be spending two days in Vegas next week. My husband and our two kids will be visiting his brother and his fiancée. (The brother's fiancée. Not my husband's.)
Any ideas for things to do and places to eat that are kid-friendly and inclusive? (So not like, looking to unload the kids at Circus Circus and go gambling or anything.) |

My hubby just got out of the hospital about a week ago. All indications point to the fact that he had a heart attack sometime with in the last 6 months. He is on the mend, but it has made us take a look at our eating habits. My hubby was told that he has to loss 100 lbs in a year. We have always been big meat and potato people. Most of what we ate was high in fat and not really the best food. We didn't eat a lot of vegetables, but now we have to. I am kinda at a loss as to what to make most nights. My hubby is on a low sodium, low fat, low carb diet, and he is diabetic. Do you have any ideas on what I can make? We are open to try new things. |

I was planning on making this recipe for dinner, but I accidentally bought bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Can I still do this recipe with those? If not, any suggestions on what to do with my thighs? I've never worked with them before, so I'm not sure what the best way to cook them would be. |

TQC, how much do you throw out after a breakup?
TL;DR Background: In September, my fiancé and I separated. It was amicable enough, we're not angry at each other but we aren't friends - there simply is no reason to be. I was sorting through my things today to have a clear out, and I threw out a lot of mementos (first flower, receipts from dates etc.) because I simply have too many things. However, when it comes to my photo albums, I don't know what to do. I have two photo albums mostly full of photos of him and I. I keep photo albums, although since we broke up I haven't really done it (it's something I intend to catch up on, I have nearly a years worth to do). However, I'm a student and I am tight on space, and I don't know whether to simply get rid of the photos? I'm not sure if in the future, maybe my kids will want to look through them, see my friends and my life when I was their age? Are photo albums just redundant now we have computers/internet? I'm in a new relationship, and he really doesn't mind either way I don't think, he doesn't know my ex and has been awesome whenever I've needed to see him to get things / sort out the old house etc. |

Accessorizing has never been my strong suit.
eta: If you were going to wear a cardigan with it, what color cardigan would you choose? |

I was just outside taking the catsand to the trash and discovered that the rain has brought the slugs out!! Hundreds and hundreds of horrible, horrible slugs. It's storming right now, but tomorrow night I'm going to have a Slug Pickin' Party -- picking them off wherever/whatever they're on and dropping them into a bag of water with some soap in it.
But I'll need something to cheer me up while I'm doing it, because even though I wear nitrile gloves while I do it, it's so ICKY YUCK YUCK EWWWW to pick a big one up and feel it squirm and wriggle!
So what are some happy thoughts to think? Or if you can't think of any, what would be a more fun way to kill slugs? (I use SlugGo but apparently this is a new hatching.... ick.)
ETA: The slug pickin' was quite successful -- I got 50 or 60 small and medium slugs, and 2 or 3 breeding size adults. I also timed their agonies in the water -- from drop in to complete relaxation in death was about 2 seconds. No thrashing, nothing. Just plop, sink, uncurl, die. I'll be picking again tomorrow night, then spreading SlugGo. |

| Squaretrade Warranty, anyone? |
[May. 18th, 2013|07:23 pm]

I just recently got an iPad mini and want to get some sort of warranty for it. I've considered AppleCare+, but when I read up on it, you can only purchase it either at the time of buying the iPad online from the Apple Store or buy it within the first 30 days in person at an Apple Store. I live in a town where we have no Apple Stores but rather an Authorized Apple Repair Centre. I'm not sure they would carry the warranty there though. I know you can purchase AppleCare for Macs there as I did last year, and I know they fix iPads/iPhones in addition to Macs, I'm just not sure about warranty for anything other than computers and I can't find info about it on their site. I could always call and ask, but I hate calling places of business.
However, I've heard good things about Squaretrade and am thinking of getting one through them simply because their warranty covers more (drops, spills, etc) whereas AppleCare+ only handles hardware/software issues and two replacements due to drops and the like. What I think it boils down to me for me is the fact that if I were to get one through Squaretrade, it wouldn't be local so I couldn't just take it down and get it looked at. They look to be about the same price wise, but I can get a three-year warranty for $129 through Squaretrade where AppleCare+ only covers you for two for $99. A two-year warranty is also $99 on Squaretrade.
Has anyone ever used Squaretrade? If you had to file a claim, was it a quick and easy process?
Advice? Thoughts? |

We're buying a washer & dryer from someone on Craigslist. They offered to drive one of the appliances back to our house so we wouldn't have to borrow/rent a truck. It's a 10-15 minute drive from their house to ours.
How much money should I offer to cover their gas? I was thinking $10; would that be enough to cover their gas to and from our house? |

have you ever done fundraising for a project on kickstarter, indiegogo, or something similar?
how successful was it, and how did you ask people to donate?
I'm supposed to be fundraising for a group thing right now, and really disliking the process. I hate asking people for money, and they want us to send a bunch of personal emails to people, asking them to donate. on the one hand, I do want to raise the money, but it makes me really uncomfortable to ask people directly or make them feel guilty if they want to say no. |

I have a friend getting married in June and I am unable to attend the wedding because of my health. I also have zero money to spend on anything like gifts but I'd still like to send her something. I have two sets of really nice, unused, black picture frames, still wrapped in the packaging they came in. Would it be super tacky to send these to her for a wedding gift? Or would this be acceptable?
I tried to look on her registry to see if she had anything like this but the website's been done each time I look (super convenient!).
If you don't think the black frames are appropriate can you suggest something I might be able to do instead please? |
