Seeing if anyone admits to being a mouthbreather? There’s actually a lot of science showing that mouth breathing deoxygenates your body and predisposes you to disease. It also inflames the sinuses, making breathing out of your nose even more difficult.

That’s interesting! I always think mouthbreathing cannot be healthy when I wake up with a sore throat after snoring and my nostrils closed.

We have separate accounts and we manage our own money. We both have household bills we pay and our own, like cc’s and cell phones. I’m a saver and he is a spender so having our money separate has been what works for us.
@DungeonMaster that’s interesting! I’ve noticed recently the hubs is a mouth breather. I literally didn’t notice until a few months ago. He is a heavy cigarette smoker so i’m sure that’s why.

We have 2 joint accounts, the main joint account is where our checks get deposited, our bills are paid from etc. Our other joint account is where I have a small portion of my check go. While she has access to it, it’s really my account to save or spend as I see fit (I’m a spender too). One thing I didn’t have a part of was the credit cards. I don’t have any in my possession, so what the balances are, the limits, the interest rates, how many… all that was unknown to me, until I asked and made a spreadsheet and documented everything.
I find it interesting. We have these financial goals, as a married couple, yet we often keep our financial situation separate or even secret from one another. Maybe our goal is to save x amount, or to buy a house, to be debt free, or maybe it’s to get a certain credit score… It’s hard to work together towards those goals when you don’t know what field you’re playing on.
Personally, I thought I was debt free (save the mortgage and cars) until I started asking questions, turns out, I’m in debt up to my eyeballs! After the initial shock subsided, and the anger melted away, I came up with a plan to get in a position so start achieving those goals!

Yeah, you should look it up sometime. There are techniques you can use to improve nasal breathing. It’s really amazing all the intricate things that the body does that we just take for granted. Recently during a continuing education event I was learning about Loss of Cervical Lordosis (basically loss of neck curve caused from injury or chronic damage [like poor posture, being overweight, etc.]). Losing normal curvature actually deoxygenates the brain and reduces nerve conduction to the extremities. All the resulting biomechanical issues from that just from your neck. Crazy.
@Runningfree Smoking causes a plethora of health problems, I’m sure that mouth breathing is the least of his worries, but couldn’t hurt to improve the small things.

I hope this works, I think I only made one of these with discobot’s tutorial.
So what do you guys think? I had a discussion with a friend about this earlier, but when someone sells second hand stuff online, and let’s say it’s tyres for a car. They got them maybe 10 years ago, but they’ve never been used, and they’re in their original packaging. Would you call them new or just unused? Or both?
Because it bothers me, that someone sells older stuff - even though it’s never been used - saying that it’s new. To me, it should be just called unused. But my friend thinks that, it’s still new. I mean I get it, if they were bought this year, or are the most recent model, and then they would sell them as new.
Maybe I’m just being too anal about this.
- New
- Unused
- Both
- Doesn’t matter

In the case of tires, they deteriorate to an unsafe level after so many ( let’s say ten) years of not being used. They could be “new” and unused in their original packaging but unsafe and not in original and “new” condition.
As far as books go for the most part this is not the case.
An used “like new” condition book could be considered new or like new.
In the case of a doll from times past, say a Cabbage Patch doll new in the box never opened, obviously it’s not new. I think a lot of times the word new is used, when unused may be more suitable.
The point mainly being that tires do have a point of no longer being any good or safe and usable with age regardless of whether they are used or not used.

I was going to say the same thing… Giant discount tire stores are often selling “new” tires that are a little older.

Oh aye, that is true. Oh the joyous ignorant bliss of not owning a car 
But I was using tyres just as a arbitrary example, as well as the 10 years. More examples could be clothes, or shoes, or like @Alisa said, books, or cabbage patch dolls.

I’ll add a 4th to what’s already been said. Tires have a shelf life. 10 year old tires are totally unsafe. Risking a blowout and death putting them on your vehicle. This person should be told that the tires are expired and that they should be recycled. If they don’t take down the posting, they ought to be flagged.

The term I see thrown around most often in these kinds of posts is “like new.” But like others have said it really depends on the item being sold. Some items can be considered vintage at some point and actually increase in value. But generally an honest person ought not to say something is new that they are reselling. In my opinion. And it’s a fair assumption that if an individual is selling something on an online marketplace or whatever that the item isn’t new.

Yes, so true! Let me tell you, not too long ago, someone was selling a designer handbag for 70€, price for a new would’ve been 290€. Long story short, me and and my friend reported this person, they were selling on Facebook marketplace. It was a scam. And my friend’s husband said that if it’s on the internet and it’s too good to be true, it’s not true But just to let you know, we didn’t loose any money on this.

Ugh, scammers are the worst! And I’m glad you didn’t lose any money and it’s just a hypothetical in this case! Healthy skepticism is a good place to start from.

Yes! Healthy scepticism is good indeed. I usually trust people a bit too much. But this friend of mine has been scammed before, so she was very on top of it!

In case of tyres it is dangerous. Their texture changes over the years and after max 8 years they lost their grip. No matter if they were used.
