    For those who it applies to, how much do you pay for baby sitters?

    We're new to this and I'm trying to help the wife with a few data points because we 1) have no idea and 2) want to money whip the good ones.

    Recently noticed that reduced fat Jiff is apparently not peanut butter. The label says it has less fat "than peanut butter," and calls the product itself "peanut butter spread."

    People google stuff and still ask for recommendations from real people. It’s research for the well-being of his children for god’s sake. Don’t be a dick.

    I'm not being a dick, its a great place to look for rates based on location. He's not asking for a recommendation for a baby sitter, he's asking recommendations on rates you complete dickhead.

    Am I the only one who didn't realize "Franklin W Dixon", Hardy Boys author, was not a guy but a syndicate? My mind was blown though upon reflection I guess one guy doesn't write hundreds of books.

    Keep seeing a commercial of a guy dragging the beach with a trash collector behind his SUV. The commercial ends with him smiling with pride as the turtles return to the beach

    There's probably paralyzed baby turtles beneath the sand because of him
