Thank you for articulating what my college-aged self never could verbalize. Drinking is fun. Drinking with friends is more fun. Being drunk is not fun.

Yes, yes they do accept expired coupons. When I was outfitting my new apartment, my mom and I raided our entire family for BBB coupons and then spent about 20 minutes with the cashier working out the best way to maximize the coupons because not only did we have the 20%, but also the $5 off $15 and a couple of $25 off…

In karma news, her attacker tried to commit suicide in jail ahead of his hearing.

If I could get off of Verizon, I would in a heartbeat. *But* I need their rural coverage for navigation purposes for work. I don't usually use all of the 4GB I have, but I average around 2GB/month. So if anyone has any ideas for how to get 2GB in the mountains for sub $90/month, let me know.

As I understand it, the debt is still in his name. My question arises from the fact that income based repayment of student debt counts your adjusted gross income based on your previous year's return. If we filed a joint return, my income might disqualify him from the program and lead to terrible loan payments.…

Right, I had gotten as far as the accountant bit. But, do the ramifications of married filing separate counterbalance not getting *legally* married and filing as straight separate until income-based repayment isn't a factor.

Since we've started talking engagement, the BF and I have been very open about our respective financial situations (not living together so no joint accounts). Our current conundrum is how to resolve income based repayment on his student loans ($100k) with the fact that I'm a relatively high earner and have 1/5 the…

Watching the management company's site (one of those that changes the rent on available apartments every day) like a hawk and waiting for the price to be right. My eventual apartment went from $1500 to under $1300 in 6 weeks. Still kind of annoyed that they wouldn't take my deal of 6 months upfront in exchange for not…

Thanks for this. Very timely as my pepper grinder is nearly empty.

You could always hit the plastic bits with some spray paint before assembly. Some clear acrylic to keep the jewelry from scratching the paint off and you're set. Now I'm thinking about how I would adapt this to be for earrings only.

We are lucky enough to be in the front row seat to history: the biggest PR failure known to man is occurring and we get to watch it as it happens. Our children and grandchildren will ask us 50 years from now, "How could one man have so much power and yet lie so badly?"

Aw hell. The O's should bench him for an extra 10 games for being a dumbass.

+1 A batting cage is really not difficult to set up. You need maybe 1000sf and a 20' ceiling. Just get a prefab steel building for $10k and you're set. Amateur hour for him to pull this stunt this close to playoffs. On the upside, he probably won't be missed much but it's a pain in the ass that the O's have to deal…
