 | re: WTF moment of the day - Bench Warrant Edition - man117 on 5/3/13 at 6:15 pm
Good luck with that. My parents got a bench warrant call for me while I was attending LSU. Got a ticket and I decided to send the check in the mail from the LSU union. Somehow the check got lost traveling the 3 miles or whatever to downtown. I paid it again. 6 or 7 months later I notice some money m...

I know sometimes there are exceptions though. I mean if i come to your bank asking for a 20k loan so i can buy a 80k piece of property, you're going to tell me no because i've been self employed for only 1.5 years? But if i get fired from my job and get a new job with who knows what job security, yo...

No they wouldn't. I thought it was silly as well. They see my cash flow every month and i told them i intend to put 20% down. I guess they don't want to make loans to people who can obviously afford them? I have no debt at all, so i found this to be strange....

I was just joking. I mean, would I love to see us attempt to throw down field more? Of course. Reason being at some point we will have to be able to throw downfield (ie: title game). But I'm just going to enjoy the season. Les is a great coach and his offensive philosophy is what it is. We could swa...

They bought for 170 like 11 years ago and a banks trying to get 400 for a foreclosure in their complex. A crappy 1 or 2 bedroom condo is like 200. It seems to me ...
