Ah shit, I may be in trouble then.

I first saw this headline as "Beware of TEXAS When Settling Your Debt." Taxes makes much more sense. I didn't think Texas would come after me, but you never know...

I understand that this is the Internet and people lie constantly, so I don't blame you. I have nothing to gain by relaying this story. But whether you believe it or not, people are REMARKABLY stupid, and putting a badge on them (or a judge's robe, or a politician's suit) doesn't change that fact in the least.

CA is bad for other reasons — mostly idiots. My sister went to college in San Jose. She got pulled over once — just "normal" speeding — but almost got arrested because the CHP that pulled her over insisted she had a fake license, because, quote, "New Hampshire is not a real state." She had to BEG the cop to call…

Wow, flashback to a 3-year old comment :) Entirely possible I picked up that word from an old Dane Cook skit.

Presumably if you drive a minivan you have kids, which is kind of the ultimate proof of "Manhood" isn't it? We have lots of metaphorical definitions of "balls," but they truly serve one and only one purpose....

You must be new to the Internet. You must disagree with eveyrone, and call them all sorts of names for being stupid enough to not have your brain in their skull.

Plus, tickets are expensive, but a hospital stay?

Know what? Good point. I wish there was someone in the comments who could help me do that.

Beat me to it, thank you.

Apparently. It's basically a contractual agreement, and any kind of breach is a breach of contract that can have fines. If you hop on the GOogles you can find countless horror stories of HOA abuse. I'd rather live next to an overgrown lawn and unpainted house than live in terror of the HOA gestapo.

THey've gotten much better! I'm still not a fan for other reasons, but looks-wise they can be pretty convincing.

Come on, how can you even post this, it doesn't even make any sense. In the very first section it juxtaposes services that take minutes vs hours with no differentiation, and the "markup" is only based on the cost of materials, not the fact that painting a house a) can require some skill and b) can take days worth of…

Don Draper approves the rise of the power of the finger.

While I get the arguments against it, I will ALWAYS be for paying off debt. Even if it's just for psychological reasons. Having made poor decisions in my youth that I'm just finally, at 34, getting out from under, the idea of a debt-free existence (to the extent that it's possible) is more attractive than any…

Did you respond to the wrong thing, or am I missing something? No idea how your reply is relevant.
