6. In winter, don't drain bath water until it cools

8. Free pins, notepads, staplers and blank CDs/DVSs from work (grab stuff from coworkers desks whenever possible so frequent trips to supply cabinet doesn't get suspicious).
9. Make your own detergent from soap, washing soda and borax
10. Hunting deer and rabbits (easier at night)
You forgot to take shitter paper from work; towels from hotels, and eating utensils from the restaurant.

What do you do to save money? Myself:
1) I recently paid off my 2000 Tahoe. I am dropping collision and going to liability only.
2) Setback thermostat in my house. 55 degrees at night.
3) No phone at home.
4) No internet at home. I use my aircard (which I need anyway) and and liberal use of free internet at work.
5) The cheapest cable that gets me ESPN.
ETA:
6) I buy 1 liter Aquafina's and refill them until the bottle goes to shite.
What you got.

Then they have had the right QB's since about 1993. Cleveland fans are the most disillusioned and depressing fans I know. Every year, all they hope for is to suck a little less than the year before. And they are so disillusioned, they think that is possible.
They should have let that river burn.

It could actually work. The QB lines up on the slot and sneaks inside as all the reversing is happening in the backfield.

back in the day? What, like last Friday?
The change started in the mid-90's but SarBox finished it. I have a friend whose father owned a fertilizer dealership in the early 80's. His dad took him to the Indiana Plant Food Association meeting one year. They were hanging out in a hospitality room one evening when two VERY attractive (OT 8.7) women in their mid-20's came over and started talking to him. He was working the best game on them a 17 year old kid can; and it was working.
This goes on for a while until his dad grabs his arm and says, "We're leaving." He says, "But Dad, I'd like to hang around for a while." Dad says NO and drags him out of there. He realized years later those women were prostitutes hired to work the crowd by whomever was paying for the hospitality room.

I couldn't find a reverse annuity calculator online, and no way can I do it long-hand. So I went 18 x $5,000 = $90k. Add interest to that, and you get "over $100k by the time they graduate HS."

A few years ago, this arrangement would never work. But with Wisky and IA being consistently good, and M*ch*g*n continuing to suck donkey balls, this has merit. I had suggested once that the divisions not be geographic, and be reshuffled every few years, based on team strength. Numbers 1,4,5,8,9 on one side. That would get around the possible issue of one division being continuingly strong.
However they do it, the Big 10 needs to think outside the box on arranging things, championships, ect. And keep the Big 10 name. We can do it with 11, why not 12?

Soon, I will be eating out of my lunch box six days a week. I have the lunch meat thing down, scoped out the best deli potato salad, and packed away enough canned fruit to last until Labor Day. I have also recently discovered the joy of vanilla yogurt.
To add variety, what other kinds of things should I be packing?
