My daughter promptly informed me that mommies' friend Steve brought them dinner tonight. To which my ex tried to explain away as "just a good friend". Don't care if she's seeing someone but hearing about it from my 4 year old wasn't ideal. One of those days I guess
Ouch.

As long as it isn't a bump more than once a day i don't see the problem.

Chris, is your house pier and beam or do you have a slab foundation? Moisture in one form or another is your most likely culprit. Do you have any indications of a leak anywhere? Decreased water pressure, higher than normal bill? Have you had any changes with your HVAC system?
Slab foundation. Plumbers spent a few hours yesterday pressure testing the pipes and found nothing. No changes in the HVAC, no signs of roof leaks or changes in landscape drainage, no unusually wet weather, floors and foundation are 50+ years old, though both were restored about ten years ago. Hardwood floor specialist thinks it might be our rubber backed rugs reducing breathability, despite the fact that the floors started to buckle a couple of weeks ago and we've had the rugs for over a year. Nonetheless, we've pulled them up and we'll see if it helps.

it looks extremely stupid to be paying with an apple watch on your wrist.

Its funny to me that they range into 5 figures. The reason people pay a premium for a watch is that it is an heirloom item that will work the same and provide the same value for generations. Apple Watch will be obsolete every year. I'm sure they'll find some suckers and prove me wrong though.
The new MacBook and MacBook Air are totally mystifying in terms of product line segmentation. Consumers are given Sophie's Choice: to get an underpowered machine with a single port for charging AND interfacing, or to get a more powerful machine with better connectivity but an embarrassingly obsolete screen.
I was considering an upgrade until I saw what they brought, now I'll have to look elsewhere.

^I don't understand what you are supposed to do when you need to charge and connect a device at the same time?
I have no problem paying with an Apple Watch, however. It's better than paying with a cheap piece of plastic that has a fragile strip that can get damaged, resulting in having to do that "paper trick" every time you swipe.

my thoughts exactly. i mean who would pay for a watch that's 10-17k. i mean all you're technically paying for is the '18k gold' in which you would think how much did they actually mark that up for. i'm fine with the sport edition that could pair up with a nike app to track running info. though i pretty much doubt i'll get the watch no matter how much of a fan boy i am. phone paying, or payless card is fine by me. but waving a wrist to pay is somewhat ridiculous from my point of view.
the design on the new macbook is indeed interesting. no doubt it's not practical to have that single port. what they're essentially doing is to get you to buy more adapters of theirs. though i would want to see where they go forward with their retina pro laptops. i spy a redesign somewhat similiar.
i think this will now fit into the all things apple/mac thread.

A belt is an easy fix for that problem.

And/or a boil-soak
