I know right? I live Downriver and insurance is just as high there. It's ridiculous how high some of the prices are by one zip code over. And don't even get me started on the cost of auto insurance. I pay $104/month just for PLPD on a 98 Olds Intrigue.

If I can count a granola bar as a meal, you can def. count a protein shake as one.

Especially when from the rare bit I browsed on the OKStupid forums that most women don't even bother to read the messages they receive there, even less so if they look at the picture and don't find the guy to be hot.

I'd be for that here in the USA.

Being single and living alone solves this problem for me. All over all the time.

Or if the friends don't come first, a deity, child, or pet does.

I've generally found OKCupid (IMHO it should be renamed to OKStupid) that women are on there, at least in my neck of the woods, to answer quizzes and socialize with friends. I've rarely met anyone through that site in person and it never worked out after the first date.

Fair enough. I've had some bad experiences with craigslist in the past, but that's probably because I live in SE Michigan and there's alot of unsavory types in neighboring areas. Gamestop is alot less of a hassle for me. But to each their own. Ebay works pretty good too for selling games even with the high selling…

Anyone who doesn't want to run an AV program, should try running Spybot Search & Destroy and enabling the immunization and Spyware Blaster immunization. Both only need to be enabled and updated and don't need to be open to function.

Yeah it's annoying, but I'm willing to live with it, Avast works pretty well otherwise. It picks up alot of stuff other antivirus apps miss. Plus, I like the low memory footprint.

Now that I am on YNAB, and I think I can finally reign in control of my finances, I am going to try using my income tax refund next year to facilitate the transfer to YNAB's buffer and pay this months bills with last month's income. I feel fairly confident I can pull this off. I just hope no more surprise extended…

YNAB, which I have been using since August, is a pretty damn amazing program. You may or may not be able to get on their buffer of this month's bills with last month's income, but I know I probably never will.

Video games are not retarded if that's what he likes to do. I should know, they are one of my hobbies also. It's not cheap, sure, but there are plenty of ways to get to play them for free or on the cheap. I just got a copy of GTA V from Gamestop for $0 +$10 additional store credit by trading in some old games and…

I had a low end LG Optimus M+ on MetroPCS and was paying $50 a month for Unlimited 3G/Talk/Text and now I have a LG Motion 4G ($99) and 500 MB of 4G and Unlimited 3G/Talk/Text for $40. I am really not going to get a better deal than that. I've looked at the budget prepaid dumb phones and they'll end up costing me more…

I currently have no insurance. Living paycheck to paycheck and high taxes out of that check, would require I have another $300 every pay period in order to be able to afford decent insurance. I'm not going to be stuck on one of these $6500 deductible plans, I want to be able to go to the doctor. Going to the emergency…

Usually 3. Breakfast is only really a breakfast on weekends, I make bacon, eggs, an english muffin, and hash browns. During the week, cereal or a granola bar.

+1 for Zeam here too. I've been using it since I first got into Android phones about 1.5 years ago. Pretty flexible as far as customization goes. I will give this Lightning Launcher a try when I get home. Always looking for alternatives in case existing things go away.

Thanks Lifehacker. Looks great. It is iOS only for now, but from a quick browse of their website, they are taking signups for an Android beta. I requested an invite.

Cool. That's what I wanted to know. Thanks. I will take a look, as a just in case anyway.

Is this only for folks with Google+ accounts, that have to worry about showing up in ads, or does it apply to all Google users?
