Had to have been rigged, right? I thought there was no way she could win this comp. I thought it was made for Kamu and his MMA reflexes.

I don’t understand the purpose of collecting slums. Even if you pay $10-15k each plus property taxes each year adds up. Are they purchased with grant money? Or are they exempt because they’re a nonprofit?

Oldest is a Freshman at Nicholls. I bought him a car (2012 Nissan Xterra, $7,000), he pays me $75/month for the car and $75/month for car insurance. He took out loans for school, but we're covering the note while he's in school, paying off what we can. At 2.64%, I'd rather borrow the money instead of committing a chunk of emergency fund. We cover health insurance, cell phone and he gets a little cash and a tank of gas pretty much every time we see him. We'll also pay for his gas to come home when he wants to.

He's currently looking for a job, but has some savings (not as much as I would like him to have, but it's his money), and he paid his bills through September before he left, so he's got some time. He's responsible for his own gas and spending money while away. I don't expect him to work full time, but I don't think 20-30 hours/week is asking too much.

The Ocean Spray Mixed Berry Juice is very blue berry heavy. It’s really good and it’s sweetened with Stevia, so it’s low carb.

My MIL wants a casket and burial- she has a specific Life Insurance policy that will cover the cost. When we had to make the decision about her sister/my wife's aunt, my wife was very upset at the thought of cremation, but since nobody in the family had the money for embalming and a casket, we didn't really have a choice.

IIRC, basic embalming, casket, vault, digging the hole, sealing the vault and filling the hole was well over $10,000.

My parents have already filled out the paperwork to donate their bodies to science- I'm thankful for that, since I'm sure I'll be the one to handle all of it when the time comes.

I told my wife to cremate me- I hope she listens, but I'm sure she won't, as usual :lol:

They need to go back to the chicken sandwiches they had in the mid 80's

Or just bring back the Wild Mountain Chicken Sandwich from the 2000's and the bad arse chocolate chip cookies from the 80's

Jack’s Thin Crust pizzas are better than Domino’s or Little Caesar’s and are $3 each at Sam’s.

Crispy crust is where it’s at.

Firm believer in having a pair of dogs and/or pets. Human/dog interaction and love is great, but animals need each other, too. We’ll always have 2 dogs.

Stanley Tucci's series Searching for Italy.

I have really enjoyed this series- it makes me want to go back to Italy as an adult and eat the random street, farm to table restaurant foods and just not ask questions on what it is until later. :lol:

My wife is not a fan of food shows, so I have to watch them without her, but I'll add the new countries to the list. I could watch Eva Longoria all day long, food or not.

I won't repeat recommendations, but here are a few that haven't been mentioned yet:
Shrink Next Door - Paul Rudd & Will Ferrell. Based on a true story
Margo's Got Money Trouble
Loot
The Servant (M. Night Shymalan)

One Blade gets almost as close as a razor

I love my One Blade for shaving my neck and cleaning up my lines. Can’t beat it for $40, and I just have my barber clean up the lines when I get my haircut. Now I need to figure out what I’m going to do with all my leftover Mach5 blades that I’ll never use again
