 | What is a "good" price to pay for cable & internet? - TakingStock on 5/10/13 at 7:07 pm I'm stuck with Charter right now and absolutely hate them. I'm paying roughly $130 for cable and Internet. The cable comes with 2 HD boxes and their standard channel lineup but I have not purchased any additional packages/services.
How much do you pay? $130 seems awfully high and I'd like to at...

 | Ramsey's Diamond Jewelers Radio Commercials - TakingStock on 4/21/13 at 10:17 pm Are these radio commercials intentionally annoying? Every time one comes on the radio, I feel like gouging my eyes out. I can't tell if they're trying to talk to us like we're dumb because they think it's a legit sales tactic or if they know they're really annoying and hope it sticks with people (wh...

 | Louisiana Tax Refund - TakingStock on 3/15/13 at 7:36 am I know this has been discussed before so m not the only one dealing with it.
My return has been listed on the LA Refund site as received for roughly 3 weeks now but the website says "processing not yet complete". Given their issues this year with processing, how long can I expect it to take to re...

 | Paypal Payment Scam? - TakingStock on 2/19/13 at 10:44 pm Has anyone ever had a fraudulent PayPal payment sent from their account? I was sitting here and got a legitimate email alert from PayPal that a payment had been sent from my account to a non-U.S. seller. The scary thing was, it wasn't a spoof and I never purchased anything from this bogus entity.

 | Houston Defense This Week? - TakingStock on 12/12/12 at 8:36 am I didn't have enough waiver money so someone grabbed Detroit's D for this week. I currently have Houston (vs. Indy) and Jets @ Tennessee. Miami (@ Jacksonville) is also available, as well as Cincy (@ Philly).
Should I stick with Houston and hope they have a bounce back game at home?...

 | Capital Gains Tax Question - TakingStock on 12/10/12 at 9:24 pm I've been buying and selling investments for years but I've always wondered how accurate you have to be on your tax returns if you've reinvested stock dividends for years and then sold your shares? I've done the legwork of calculating the specific share cost for each reinvested lot sold because I ha...

 | Defense Question - TakingStock on 11/10/12 at 9:49 am So someone in my league inexplicably dropped the Bears' D.
