STEAM-ing Pile.

My brother-in-law is a running coach, and practices what he teaches. Apparently, the first time he sat down for a Wilted Lettuce Salad with my Mom, he whispered in horror to my sister “I think your mom is pouring bacon grease on the salad! Is she ok??” ... poor guy....

Actually, according to NFCUs GO Card terms, it’s fully covered :)

Oh, absolutely! That’s fine, except when the info gets stolen, and I spend a couple of days waiting for a replacement card. Happened twice now, so I went looking for a virtual solution in the virtual world :)

For myself, I also found that I spend less using my debit card instead of the credit card. It’s not really reasonable to carry around large amounts of cash these days, but I tend to moderate my spending if I know it’s coming straight out of my bank account.

Just found Navy Federal’s “Go” card, which is a refillable debit card. I use it for online purchases when I can’t paypal, and have to give them my card directly. I fill it from my account, only as much as I need, and any fraudulent attempts to charge against it are covered by the bank, and as long as I don’t enable…

Why, yes. Yes they do think so. And the backlash will be minimal. Sony has repeatedly shown that they don’t care.

Make sure you purchase expensive luggage so I don’t have to care how I do my job. Kthxbye haveasafeflight!

As if you need confirmation, but I find myself in complete agreement here, all the way down to water bottles. Anything to keep the freezer from having to do all the work itself. Let the frozen stuffs keep each other frozen.

You can actually ask your payroll department (in my case its the owner heheh) to take out an additional amount on top of your normal deduction if you want to tweak it down lower. I had mine down to <$400 a few years ago, but as I’ve gotten a couple of raises, and taxes have changed, I’ve not changed anything, so it’s…

I usually garner about $1000, between state and federal. This is a small enough amount that I’m loathe to “tweak”, for fear of coming up short at the end of the year. My now-wife is an accountant, and she usually ends up coming a lot closer, and she may insist on “working” my paperwork, now that we’ll be filing…

“here, you owe That_Other_Guy a serious apology, because you’re the idiot here”

It’s not a question of how high or low the bar is. It’s that so few people clear it. Even worse, it’s that so few even attempt it...

Absolutely. No matter how much I still hate her, after 12 years, my child has absolutely no clue of this. I’m always polite, never mean, and she’s heard dozens of times “Sounds like you had a great time!” and “Well, sweetie, it’s her house, those are her rules, and even if you moved over here, you’d still have most of…

ahh... ok. locks are good :)

Hmm.... may be just me, but on the rare occasions I open the crock pot (kind of the point of it, to open it as little as possible), and I need to use a spoon, that spoon is then covered with the contents of the pot. The last thing I want to do is attach it to the top of the crock pot to drip chili all over the lid…

I bought two of the 2-packs, as we tend to buy the big boxes of salad from Costco. I can verify that I get at least a week longer without getting slimy lettuce. just make sure as soon as you get the lettuce home, move it to the Rubbermaid, making sure it’s dry.

Exactly. I actually have 4 pairs, 2 black and 2 brown, but I wear dress casual every day at my job (dress pants, long-sleevedbutton up shirt, no tie, sleeves usually folded twice), and I have to rotate thru the shoes to keep from being too ripe at a clients office. Sometimes I’m required to be in plants, or…

Sorry, I really do have zero desire to deface a game I paid good money for.

I speak to this as a male, and a white male at that. While not rich, and honestly, barely even “capable of paying my bills”, I still suffer from enough privilege to be very far from affected by this. It’s on that last tone, however, that I want to focus.
