I have had nothing but bad experiences with Hertz. Unfortunately the corporate rate we get is very low so I'm stuck with them, but it seems like there is always something that goes wrong. I drove out of their facility, had a low tire pressure indicator on, brought it back and they wanted me to sign something saying I was responsible for damage to their tire.

I ran into this same thing recently. My dryer needed new electronics, basically the same price as buying a new dryer. My wife had strong opinions about JUST buying a new dryer so guess who has a new washer AND dryer?

I love this. It beautifully captures the inner conflict of adolescence and the quest for self-discovery. It's easy to forget how hard that time of life can be and how in order to truly understand ourselves, we must explore the boundaries of our beliefs and reconsider once closely held ideals. It's a messy journey, but it's the only path to find our authentic selves.

It's disheartening to see such drastic disparities between foster kids and their peers in terms of both education and incarceration rates. It really highlights just how important having a stable home life is to shaping the future outcomes for kids and how big of a disadvantage it is for those who don't have this privilege. Sad that we live in a society where we can't provide a healthy, stable environment so many kids.
