Minor rant... I'm thinking anyone with tweens or teens may experience this. Yes, it is 100% a first world problem
We have several of the streaming services (Netflix, Disney, etc). They are all in my name and email account. Many times per week I get texts from the kids or my wife "I need the verification code for X". Just last night on my way home my son was first and then 10 minutes later my daughter pinged me. The TV's seem to stay logged in, but it's always their phones that get logged out.
I like two-factor authentication, but what a PITA sometimes!

Stick shifts make it easier to keep your speed low. I never get out of 2nd, leaving my neighborhood

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Got the Ariya registered today... After many, many years of offering a "free pass" for credit and debit cards, our county clerk's office is now surcharging them. The waiting room was almost empty, so I asked the clerk if I could run back to my car and get my checkbook. About $1,300 later, the sales tax and fees are paid, and I'm registered through March of next year.

My last "cruise" in Alaska- back in 2000. I hope that my son and I can return in a few years.
Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
@xwesx That is a great picture.
We have been having some great sunsets here in the Northeast. Here is one from last night heading down I95 about 3 miles from center city Philly which what you see to the left of the sun.

Gorgeous sunset photo @tjc78. I was able to take a few dusk photos walking by the beach before my son’s hockey game this past Saturday night.

We absolutely got the drink package - we are good for a minimum of 5 drinks / day which if you get the package on sale is more than break even.@snakeweasel
I want to do Alaska, but the family has zero interest in it.@laurasdada
You may have been on the same ship... there was Hairspray on our sailing too.
Thr drink package might be worth it if my wife had more than one a day. I could do 5 or more a day if my wife didnt keep count. 
An Alaskan cruise can be a crap shoot as it is a rain forest and can get a ton of rain. We lucked out and the entire trip was dry.

Basement update:
In the home stretch now. Carpet was installed on Monday, shower door is scheduled to be put in this afternoon, and various folks have come in over the past few days to do touch up work on drywall, paint, hardware installation (doorknobs), etc. Not much left on the punch list at this point, and I think the final inspection is set for tomorrow.
New W/D to be delivered on Monday next week, and we're working with the LV folks to get the TV installed on Monday, as well. Final cleaning probably starts today, and the daughter will start moving things in starting tomorrow or Friday and going through the weekend.
Wife and I are now talking about replacing the carpet in the bedrooms upstairs to match what we installed in the basement (and stairs leading to the basement). What's another few thousand when we've spent so much already?
