Decisions

[quote]Knee jerk reactions as always.[/quote] I’ve heard it said that every action in the market is an overreaction. It seems to generally hold true....

[quote]Find the thickest nastiest stuff you can.[/quote] I agree with this. If you can overlay that with a trail/buck sign all the better. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in the back of beyond. Just quiet and forgotten....

Unless she’s taken out a patent, copyright, etc on the idea then I’d say you owe her nothing. As others said, is she going to share in the hard times as well as the good? If not then I wouldn’t be bothered....

I would like to add that I do think the movies ramped the chemistry up a notch or two further than was even apparent in the books. I honestly can’t believe I never heard a rumor of Watson and Radcliffe dating during the series run (maybe I missed it?). I would also like to add that if Harry ha...

Hermione and Luna both made so much more sense for Harry. Ron and Hermione made absolutely no sense. A strong, driven woman like Hermione would absolutely never settle for Ron. He was too weak-willed and laid back....

[quote]I just remember the Louisiana episode where they basically didn't cover anything above I-10. All NOLA, Baton Rouge and Acadiana. [/quote] I noticed the same thing. I realize that south Louisiana is the most unique aspect about the state, but north Louisiana has plenty of interesting and ...

You can get em that big without being directly on the river. We’ve killed a few over 270. The keys are being in the delta and proper management....

[quote]It it really that hard to convince a population that austerity is a better idea when your population isn't growing than more leverage that inevitably leads to a disaster?[/quote] It is as long as someone across the aisle is willing to promise the moon and a fix to all your problems if you ...

I was not expecting this to be such a heated debate! It’s pretty simple math, as another poster said, to analyze what your total cost is going to be of putting the extra money down vs. not. What’s not simple is determining your risk tolerance and how much you could be making off of that money ...

I’ve never been big into tobacco, just smoked the occasional cigar with friends celebrating something, but very occasionally I’ll be in the middle of a cup of coffee and have a strong craving. If that can happen to me, no more than I’ve ever used it, I can only imagine how hard the struggle mus...

I would have been livid if I’d been the landowner and that happened to me. What a find!...

What are your thoughts on the veneer hardwood market? Is there still demand or was it pretty well crushed by the trade war and yet to recover?...

This is great advice. If I had to recommend an opener I would probably second the London system/accelerated London, but I’m by no means an expert. I found that just brute force crushing out puzzles helped me increase my expertise more quickly than anything. If you find yourself struggling w...

I really enjoyed Beaver Run. It’s extremely convenient for skiing, the kids will love the heated pool/hot tubs, and you’ll love the on-site bars. There’s also a shuttle to get you to/from the action in town. Make sure you get a room facing the slopes in the newer side of the hotel and I don’t t...

If women’s sports are so critical then women need to start supporting them as much as men support ours. It’s that simple. You don’t see men out here bitching that the fashion industry is so slanted towards women. We know that they’re the demographic who cares and shows the most support. This...

Would anything outside of the Greater New Orleans area really qualify as Creole? I’ve often heard it described as its own separate thing from the rest of South Louisiana....

Probably 30-40k. I was able to get out of college with no debt, single, and lived back home with my parents while saving for a house down payment, though....

[quote]The most important thing about the land is the location. The most important thing about the location is: Your Neighbors. If you can find 40 acres between two big landowners who manage their property for wildlife, then it will hunt like 200 acres. It's worth $5k an acre or more. If you...

It’s true, I was not a fan of Karsa and his sections. That’s my main reason for disliking it. Dust of Dreams and Toll the Hounds are good choices as well that I wouldn’t argue, though....

[quote]It isnt the weakest, its just confusing. [/quote] Which one do you consider the weakest? It’s been a long time since I read them all, but House of Chains is the first that springs to mind for me....
