It's mostly a joke, see the link. I was only aware of the MST3K reference. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_did_th…

You in danger girl! :P

I'm still freaked out by that story that was posted on Halloween on the ghost thread, about the blond girl in the bathroom.

I don't watch the show, and thought Juan Pablo was his entire legal name. And I was thinking, don't the contestants know the rule of life that you can never trust a man whose first and last names are both first names?

Exactly. Everything I've read says there are witnesses who saw this piece in her home long before she claims she got it at the yard sale.

On a business trip recently, to the amusement of my colleague, I decided to have 2 glasses of wine, a bowl of lentil soup, and a giant slice of chocolate cake for dinner. Really, I was saving the company money!

I never drink straight milk, just use it for cooking and baking, and hot chocolate making. I use 2% - never have any issues with anything not coming out right or not being tasty.

They definitely sound jealous of what you can do -screw them!

He is clearly related to all those people on "House Hunters" who "need" a master bathroom. I was raised in a house with 6 people and 1.5 baths. We had the same tub/shower when we moved in 1979 until a few months ago, when my parents finally remodeled it. Wealthier people are amazed when they hear we had shower…

I think so! It's Mint dot com, it's a budget site where you link up your bank account, credit cards, any loan accounts you have, and it keeps track of all your spending on one site. Kind of frightening at first if you haven't been thinking about where your money goes, but I've been doing it since July and it really…

Exactly the same for me- live alone, love to cook. I budget on Mint, and usually don't even come up to what I budget for food/grocery items each week, unless I buy both meat and a big pack of toilet paper.

Yeah, I spend way less than she did monthly on food for all 3 meals. And I'm including the other things I buy at the grocery store, like detergent and toilet paper and whatnot.

But their chocolate cinnamon pound cake is the jam! I actually hunted down the recipe online and made it. So now I can make it instead of buy it. But my point still stands.

I thought so too, which surprised me - because he's been asked about working with her before and has always been very diplomatic, never saying anything bad.

Red Green was an amazing show - I wish I could still watch it.

After this article, and the one the other day about wacky names, I'm left to wonder- do the Peppas, the Nevaehs, and the Wynters of the world never apply for office jobs, or do they all change their names at 18? Because I've been reading resumes and interviewing people for 20 years, and have honestly never read one…

Yikes! I have a friend in that situation. She's in a town where the elementary school is fantastic, but 2 girls were raped in a stairwell in the HS within a few months of each other, and even other than that, it's not ranked very high. She has a few years until her kids are HS aged, but it's something she worries…

Sometimes people say they want your advice, but don't like what they hear, don't want to do it, and punish you for being honest, as this "friend" is doing. Now that you know she's like this, my advice would be, the next time she asks you for some, deflect it back by asking what she feels would be the best thing to…

I rolled over 2 old 401K plans into Vanguard Target Retirement fund mutual funds (based on whatever year you plan to retire, so they do all the selection for you), and holy shit, I've gotten a 23% return this year! So I second the suggestion of Vanguard.

That's funny but kind of sad too Seems no one really wants to be her friend because of her ridiculousness. If you've been firm about your plans and reasons,my advice would be to say I'm going to hang up the phone the next time you start on this, because it's none of your business. Then do it.
