I’ve been using MFP since the beginning of the year with pretty good success so far. For me, I try to stay under my initial calorie goal without taking exercise into account. For example, if my goal is 2,000 calories per day, I would try to eat no more than those 2,000 calories even if the exercise portion is…

I don’t brake check people, but as I’m normally going a little faster than the speed limit anyways, if someone decides to tailgate me, I will just let off the gas until I’m right at the speed limit. Normally this is enough to get people to either pass or back off (note: if I am in a passing lane and can get over, I…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you can reimburse yourself for medical expenses paid out of pocket. So in your example of breaking your arm in February after starting on an HSA plan in January, you may have to pay out of pocket up front but you can then reimburse yourself once more money is in your HSA account. …

Came here to say this. If you have enough time with your phone you could always turn off Touch ID. But the quick way would just be to turn off or restart the phone without logging back in.

Do you know if insurance will help cover the cost of these vans?

Monoprice Premium DJ Style Over-the-Ear Headphones. I bought a pair of these a few years ago and use them just about every day while I’m at work. They are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time which is a must for work use. You can use any male-to-male 3.5 mm cord, so you can easily adjust the length of…

How important is it to have separate life insurance coverage if you have some coverage through an employer? What happens to the coverage through an employer if you stop working for the employer? Do you have the option to take over the premium payments? And is there a difference in those payments if you leave…

The prevailing comments here talk about losing the ability to control where airflow is directed. I think of this setup less like the Dyson fan mentioned and more like a linear diffuser (shown below). With linear diffusers, there are ways to direct the airflow using the internal airflow pattern controllers (the black…

One thing that will not get you a 1099-C is some forms of student loan forgiveness. My wife had $5,000 worth of student loans forgiven last year under the Teacher Student Loan Forgiveness Program. When the tax forms were made available, the 1099-C slot said that $0 was eligible to be taxed. I called the loan…

“Panther Ford, particularly Town Car. Currently on the look to add to my fleet as a backup/road trip car. The Crown Vics are mostly ex-cop cars or cabs and beat to shit, the Grand Marquis’ are mostly grandma cars and while nice, overpriced compared to the relative bargain that the Town Car gives. Many are L models,…

One of the main highways in Orlando has a posted speed limit through downtown of 55 mph. However, the normal flow of traffic is typically upwards of 70-75 mph. I’m sure there are people going even faster than that though, so speeders doing 25 mph over the speed limit doesn’t seem too extreme.

I was looking around midday yesterday, so I would have only gotten the $50 if I had signed up then.

Very glad I didn’t sign up for this yesterday after the article talking about the increase to 5% cash back on Amazon purchases as the sign up bonus was only $50 yesterday. Just applied for it and got the $70 credit in my account immediately.

“Roseville’s police chief, James Berlin, told clickondetroit.com that it boils down to whether your key is locked into the ignition. If that’s the case, they say, a madman could come barreling in and steal the vehicle.”

I have been with Cricket for several years now and other than a mixup when transferring a couple more lines to Cricket from AT&T a few months back, I have had no complaints. Over the holidays, I found out they were offering their normal 5gb plan with 8gb instead. I called them up and got them to switch both of my…

My problem with the concept of not paying down debt faster and instead investing that extra money is that most people probably don’t end up actually investing the extra money each month. Maybe they do save it in a savings account that earns up to 1% or maybe they spend it, but I would imagine that most people who…

I can see where the rear night vision camera would be handy, but it seems like overkill. As the parent of a 2 year old, there have been many times when we are driving as night waiting for the little one to fall asleep. We usually just turn on a cabin light really quick to see if she has fallen asleep yet, and if…

Google Earth has a feature where you can look at the history of areas based on old satellite images. Below is Stapleton back in 2002 where you can see remnants of the old airport as well as the construction going on for the new developments.

The new show the White Rabbit Project with the old Mythbusters build crew had a segment on the Dale car. Throughout the entire show, I was thinking that it sounds VERY similar to what is going on with Elio right now.

I think the different is that your calculator does not calculate based on weekly additions and rather uses annual additions instead. So it assumes you put the full year’s worth ($260) at the beginning of the year rather than the $5 per week. The lump sum at the beginning of each year would result in a little extra…
