Credit report dot com bay bee. Saw their ad on my TV. Thought about going but was too lay zee. Too bad I didn't know my credit was whack. So now I'm driving off the lot in a used sub compact.

Somewhere in the cosmos Steve Irwin is smiling.

Licensed electrician here.

1. I looked at the pictures in your comments. That's not really a mess. The only thing wrong is the use of backstabs.

2. Arcing doesn't usually indicate a nicked wire, it indicates a loose connection 99% of the time. Probably in the backstabs.

3. If you turned off the breaker and the light stayed on but the switch stopped working you likely killed the wrong breaker and the switch is just broken (failing on). Likely due to the backstabs.

4. You need a multimeter to properly troubleshoot.

5. Hire am electrician. The questions you're asking and observations you're making indicate you are woefully under qualified to work on this.

6. Since you're going to ignore point number 5, replace the switch. Pugtail the bottom hots and use the terminal screws this time. I suspect that's the issue, but I can't be 100% certain over the internet.

7. Be careful, good luck.

Me either. I know it isn't right, but goddammit is it satisfying.

On fucking Christmas too. That poor girl was probably buzzing with excitement and he fucking brutalized her.

Fuck. I was having such a good day and now I'm pissed off and depressed. I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to read that article.

A successful marriage isn’t your spouse pushing you to do more. That’s toxic and unhealthy. A successful marriage is you wanting to do more so you and your spouse can reap the rewards while your spouse cheers you on and helps however they can. (While you do the same for them.)

When I was a kid and money was tight my mom would add and sub black beans to any meal that used ground beef. Use the beans for half of the beef required. (Example, if the meal requires a pound of ground beef, do half a pound of beef and then an equivalent volume of beans) The beans take the seasoning of the beef well and make it significantly more filling. Works especially well for meals like tacos.

You can also sub ground turkey for ground beef. It’s much cheaper. It does require substantially more seasoning though because the turkey doesn’t take seasoning as readily as beef.
