My parents were actually pretty good about giving me money advice. However, one thing they usually steered away from was DIY - they would almost always pay someone to do things that they could have done themselves. My wife’s parents, on the other hand, had a rule of thumb in their house: If something needs doing and…

• Is cold pizza the best breakfast out there? Yes.

Nice to see Albuquerque rated positively for something. La Cumbre is the nuts.

Colorado does have awesome beer. NM is catching up quick though!

This is terrible. Asking someone to drink/eat something to prove it’s not illicit is inhumane. That’s what drug test kits are for. Reminds me of a case of a boy at an airport who was carrying bacteria samples or something like that for a school science project. Security didn’t “buy his story” and made him ingest some…

I think they mean “doomed” in the sense that her campaign was saddled with several negative things from the beginning. Her primary challenge from Sanders should have alerted her campaign that course corrections were necessary, but those corrections never came. They were unsure about their candidate and their message,…

I know I can be a very negative person, especially when I experience jealousy - as if I haven’t lived my life to its fullest potential compared to someone who seems to be doing so much better. Beating myself up is sometimes second nature. This is a big reason why I gave up Facebook. What helps me be not so negative is…

Reminds me of Cowboy Jimmy Moore the pool shark. He was pretty damn good in pool tournaments, but he had another gear when there was money on the table. Jimmy also briefly thought about becoming a pro golfer when he was young but decided there wasn’t any money in it.

New Mexico has had the “lottery scholarship” since 1996. State funds from the lottery are used to pay in-state tuition for any NM high school graduate who maintains a 2.5 GPA in college. Anyone can get it, it is not based on family income. According to their website, the lottery scholarship has paid more than $720…

Shouldn’t he be eating Cheetos?

I’ll have to try this...shiraz is my favorite type of wine. Any other recommendations for boxed wine in the shiraz / malbec neighborhood?

Might have to keep the water part in mind next time I have a nosebleed. Thanks for the tip!

Am I the only one who cooks with bay leaves and pulls them out of a finished dish? Can’t have anyone complaining about how they “always get the bay leaf.”

Biff Tannen has always been my role model.

After being realistic about what I’d remember from last year, this is what I came up with, six bets to become a billionaire.

My strategy exactly....I’m still bitter because of a bracket pool I was in where teams are assigned randomly and I had Michigan State...thought I was gonna win the whole bracket. I need a time machine.... Middle Tennessee - Nova to win tournament - Willett to win Masters would be at least $500K, and that’s just to…

“If you were teleported to a Vegas sports book exactly one year back in time, with $50, how much money do you think you could make?” - if I thought before I started drinking, I’d remember that Michigan State lost in the first round...Middle Tennessee was a 20-1 dog, so I’d pick up $1000. That would help a lot. Then…

Isn’t this basically the same plot as Very Bad Things, but with girls?

Winning Top Chef would be awesome. #1 it would mean I could cook my ass off. I could handle having Carla Hall’s career, being paid to hang out with Mario Batali and Michael Simon, and eat ridiculously good food all the time...and she didn’t even win TC. Face Off would be pretty cool to win (as would Ink Master IMO,…

Hmm. Maybe Dept. of Education needs more federal funding? /sarcasm
