I too am in the market for a new tv. I’ve had my 60 inch plasma tv from Samsung for going on 12 years. I dropped a pretty penny on it from Best Buy at the time and haven’t had any problems with it at all for over a decade!

Only in the last year or so I’ve started having issues with turning it on if it was just turned off. Like it’s plasma so I’ve always been super careful of burn in of images. So I press pause on whatever I’m watching on the Roku streamer connected by HDMI. Then I turn off the tv itself. If say I’m running to the bathroom, when I get back and attempt to turn on the tv it’ll make the red power light blink randomly several times over and over… but it won’t initiate the start up of the screen…

I’ve tried lots of things… unplugged the tv and waited about 10-15 seconds and plugged it back in then pressed the power on the remote and it’ll usually come back on with the volume all the way back to “1” which stinks… but it still “works”…

I’m willing to pay a good amount for a plasma adjacent/similar tv just because of the luck I’ve had with this current tv. It makes more sense to me to invest in a really great tv now, as opposed to replacing several less great tv’s when they inevitably break down..

I’ve been looking around, and obviously they’ve stopped producing Plasma tvs now… so I’m still searching for a plasma like tv that I want…

The answer is…. D) all of the above/ and below!

I dance like nobody is watching! All the time! My kids laugh and think I’m so weird. Who cares when I’m having fun! Admittedly at the expense of embarrassing them… lol… 😉

I wanna dance with somebody…

What the actual FUCK? I’ve never seen that shit before, and never want to see that shit again. Offensive.

Oh, and Facebook, TikTok, instacrap, and X

Reddit, because… you know.

Walmart, people I know who’ve worked there were not treated well… and then there’s the plopping down in a town/city and hurting the local business just cause…

😂🤣

So I agree with most of the comments before. When I was young my family used to pile in a car and drove for a couple of days to visit family. Man, if you’ve got kids in the car you want to be sure you’ve got things for them to do. Unoccupied kids (speaking from experience) are distracting. We used to play the “license plate game”. We’d look for novelty plates and try to decipher what they mean, and look for each state plate too. Not sure if your driving alone or with someone.

I’d also recommend a couple blankets, towels (paper and fabric), a flashlight, and a first aid kit, and a roadside emergency kit too. Bring some cash, and have a backup payment method. Also if alone, make a plan to checkin with family at least daily. Let em know where your at, and where your headed.

Have fun and stop at cool sights and little touristy places too! Take lots of pictures. Wish you a safe and fun trip!

100% best sheets I’ve ever owned, 1,000 TC 100% Egyptian cotton sheets. That is like being cuddled by the softest, smoothest clouds ever. Stupid expensive (I have a king sized mattress) so they usually run a couple hundred dollars. However, they last a really long time, and get softer with age/washing.

One set has lasted me about 10 years of weekly washing. Only reason I had to buy another set this year, was because I’d torn all the corners of the fitted sheets over time. Tbf I do wrestle them on there quite roughly as I can’t squeeze in on one side of my bed that’s up against the wall… so I’m definitely not gentle..

Definitely scratch. Honestly, my brain would be thinking of all the ways in which to scratch said itch and would keep me up longer. Just do it.

The “X” trick is when you have a insect bite and you press your nails in and make an X. However it hasn’t been the antidote that was promised for me personally. I swear by those Benadryl “after bite” sticks. That’s the shit.

If it’s more of a rash then I don’t bother with the stick and go for that good good relief from the Benadryl anti itch ointment. That shit works
