So I managed to superglue my thumb to my fridge trying to fix a shelf holder tab that broke. To make things funnier, my phone no longer recognizes my thumbprint. 2017 is shaping up to be a really **** year

OK. I really needed to laugh. This did it

I'm glad I can help
The funny thing was, or maybe the not so funny part, was when I tried to remove my thumb from the fridge door without realizing the glue had seeped between my finger and the door. The ultimate WTF do I do now moment? It was legitimately stuck and I had the fridge door open being unable to close it or get up and grab some solvent. So I had to rip my thumb off the door without ripping the tab completely off the door. Painful. But I couldn't stop laughing the whole time out of complete disbelief.

My driveway is completely covered in a thin layer of ice. Unfortunately, I can't use salt on my driveway because the homeowners' association decided to put down a new concrete apron in front of my garage and sent notice that salt ruins concrete during the first year it's in place and replacement would be at my expense. They also said I can't use metal tools to remove snow ever. (I didn't follow up to ask them if the same rule applies to our snow removal service.)
So with the light rain we received a couple days ago, and the now sub-zero temps, I have a driveway so slick that I'm refusing to order goods from online retailers because UPS and FedEx deliverers wouldn't be able to safely bring me my packages, and I don't want the lawsuit that would come with a fall.

This is why HOAs should not exist. You essentially don't actually own that property; you pay money to be a slave somewhere.

Every story I hear like this, I feel vindicated that I made it a requirement for my home search to not be a part of any kind of HOA, or any other kind of required community BS.

HOAs are a necessary evil when you live in a townhouse, where the exterior of the building is common between multiple units and the interior or each unit is autonomous.

They aren't necessary at all. If I live in a townhouse and want to paint my portion of the exterior bright fuschia, then I'm gonna paint it bright fuschia, dammit! The "neighbors" can paint their façades whatever they want.

I don't even want to see my neighbors, much less share a wall with them.

I'm not wild about it either, but as a single man who isn't an engineer, application programmer or equivalent pay scale, singe-family homes aren't all that feasible in the market around the Twin Cities. It could easily happen in most of Wisconsin, but then I'd be stuck in Wisconsin.

Re: Gear Grinding 7: Really? This crap again?
Having gone out to eat every now and then, one thing that grinds my gears is when restaurant establishment mistakenly label a "Shepherd's Pie", or some similar spelling thereof. Most of the time, it ends up a Cottage Pie. People, if you're going to do a shepherd's pie, use the proper main ingredient: minced lamb. If you're going to use ground beef, call it by its proper name: a cottage pie.

I'd never adjust but we should still do it. Our system is stupid.
