Yeah no TJs out here. I've never been to one either.

When my wife and I went to combine our bank accounts at a local credit union I said to the guy helping us that it was so busy today. He commented that he'd already helped several people leaving Bank of America completely. I guess Capitalism's great "freedom of choice" won again.

I bought Dollar store tupperware that were dip sized for lunches because I wouldn't care if they disappeared. The expensive stuff walks away yet the cheap crap finds its way home every time.

I wish there were generic brand Ritz crackers that tasted good. Instead I just do without when they aren't on sale (which is usually only around Christmas time)

Unless you're stuck on the OS or need certain software. I'd venture a guess that most Mac owners didn't buy it for either.

Instead they removed the great Gnome interface. For my home PC I'm sticking with my slightly older version of Linux Mint. It's still supported and updated and everything works as I want it to.

It's interesting to note that as new scares (like salmonella in eggs) pop up, older ones are dying off (like trichinosis in pork.) So that scale is a bit off as one can safely eat pork cooked to an internal temperature of 145. Trichinella spiralis kicks the bucket at about 137 so unless you're eating roadkill or wild…

In the 90s there was a big move towards the large banks for all the "perks" like being able to bank anywhere. Now with the internet, ATMs and being able to get cash-back when buying a popcorn at Target, there's less incentive to have a big bank.

Because organization will set you free! That and measuring directly into the work bowl can cause some screw-ups that can ruin a whole recipe.

Duh ... what? We each get an allowance that covers personal expenses. Say she wants to buy shoes or a book or I want to buy a Blu-Ray or something, we take it out of our own money. Not sure why you think I'd pay child support. *odd stare*

Allow Wilfred Brimley to inform you about something that affects many people today ...

How about all the Aspartame and Splenda will make you sterile, give you cancer and turn you into a radioactive chemical eating zombie myths? The FDA (and other similar organizations public and private) have tested Aspartame umpteen times and yet people still claim it will kill you.

I don't go old school like this but with getting married and now having married money and my money, I admit that separating them (instead of being on the same credit card) is desirable.

Dear LeAnn Rimes: go to Wendy's and eat a "Dave's Hot 'N' Juicy 3/4 lb burger" with a large natural-cut fry and a large Mr. Pibb. Before leaving get a chocolate Frosty. When you realize how awesome life can be when you don't worry about being Skelator and trying to destroy He-Man and stuff you might be happier.

My parents told us at a young age that we would never go there because we were poor. We did a lot of other fun things but never did Disney. Now I'm not really all that excited about ever going. In a weird, twisted way I want my kids to grow up thinking they are dirt poor too so they won't be disappointed that they…

If they can't keep up, I say let 'em die. Darwin's survival of the fittest and all that.

That's like politicians claiming tax cuts when they only increase taxes 1% instead of 3%

I don't judge; I refuse to judge but my wife and I already discussed what would happen if I was sterile. We'd adopt. I know the fees for that are outrageous (and ridiculous) but the idea of buying someone else's jizz is just weird to me.

I always disable the Windows System effects but not for performance reasons; I just find them annoying.

I really hated the character of River Song. I don't know why but she's made me not want to watch Doctor Who.
