@HurtsSoGood: Well said! I actually had the EXACT same conversation with my wife when we got married. Since she had an influx of income she figured it would be used to pay off everything right off the bat. She just didn't understand that while being debt free is great, in the event of an emergency being debt free…

If you are a smoker you can save serious cash by packing your own smokes (buy the tubes, a machine, and the tobacco). Last year we (Wife and I) saved a monstrous $2200. Michigan just doubled the taxes on tobacco so next year the savings will be more like $1700.

If you are that worried about catching something that you can’t shake someone’s hand odds are you would be better off hiding in the house. You’re not going to catch something major from shaking hands and especially not if you don’t pick you nose, teeth, lips, etc right after. That and wash your damn hands.

@neenee: Why bother? This isn't based on any factual data. Gum should be listed; I could bite my tongue... Turn the damn radio off you might not hear something. Roll up those windows something could fly in, hit you, and make you crash. Use your visor and wear sunglasses.

@Junkan: I’m a little confused… You watch Fox yet you drive a Pius (I think that's what the pic is)? That’s like a hipster driving a dually F350.

Coffee being on the list is actually pretty stupid. If there is an accident in the AM you know they more than likely have a cup of coffee with them just like everyone else.

It's important to look into the laws in your state as often times documents related to your wishes after death have to be updated on a set schedule. This is especially important for things like your DNR because if it isn't up to date they will not honor it or it can at the very least be contested.

@USBhack: 3 for $1?! I'm in... I'll just bookmark it for the winter, all I need is another project in the summer ;)

@Erin Schwendemann @USBhackThanks you two... Trying to find "small container" on the net is like trying to find a floor mat for a 59 Caddy using "floor".

@hbuzzell: I thought the wall was great too. Looks much better than my setup. :(

Damn hippies with their guitars, beads, home based workshops, and love signs! I suspect the stash is in the mannequin…

@Wire-Less: Very little smell by whose standards? I've smelled what women call "unscented" before, I know their tricks!

Coconut oil? Do they make it non-scented or is there an alternative? I don’t want to walk around smelling like I just slapped on some Hawaiian Tropic.

@psychiccheese: If you're not comfortable doing it then yes, you need to take it in, but many repairs are minor and just seem like they are a big deal until you see exactly how it's done.

@Beestie: Actually I'm going to be doing that on a gap I have in the foundation where my addition is on the house. The damn chipmunks chew through everything I use to block up the hole and if I do it too well they go through where the AC line comes in which means I have to fix the wires too.

@Phoshi: I used to as well, but then I quit playing FPS and don't worry about the frames as much anymore ;)

To be honest I’m not really sure I understand the point of this article. They lump house guests, dinner guests, and what could be a party together…

@jackburnt: I had thought the exact same thing... They say "we" and "our" multiple times.

@lanes: There is no steadfast rule that says you can’t use the calendar for tasks, however the calendar is meant for meetings, appointments, "where are you", and the like. Adding tasks to that list makes things a mess.
