As far as insurance goes, talk with whichever agent you have your renter's/homeowner's insurance policy with. (If you don't have either policy, get one after you buy the ring. Renter's insurance is only $25/month or so unless you have a ton of stuff you think is worth insuring, and in that case why don't you already

Illinois is still firmly in two-plate territory.

Wow. If these are "blockbusters" I must have lived in under a rock last year. Not only have I only seen one of these movies, I'm not sure I even heard of more than two of them.

Yeah, the basic deadline is 20 business days; the government can inform the requester that it needs up to an additional 10 business days to respond, or in "unusual circumstances" the government can say that it needs more than 7 weeks to respond and give the requester the option of narrowing the initial request or

Private mortgage insurance when you buy a house? The insurance everyone says to avoid getting if you can? Anything that protects us when he loses his job, or takes care of bills when he's out of work, I welcome with open arms at this point.

He's got too much money?

The only problem I had with this movie was the quickly-abandoned romance between Statham and his daughter's teacher. I get that this particular subplot was not why we paid money/spent time to see a Statham movie, but the lack of a resolution to that really aggravated me.

This has happened before; look how well Manu Manu the Slender did in college.

I'm not saying it can't be done; I do it occasionally when I'm feeling fat myself. I just disapprove of attorneys I see who appear in court with their tie knot an inch below the collar and a large gap clearly visible at the top. At that point you should just grow some balls and ditch the tie altogether.

You know why we need to keep ties around? Fewer ties lead to more chances for this monstrosity to wander the streets.

Eh. I see too many guys that abuse the "leaving the top button open" policy and look closer to "three-martini lunches are always a good idea" than "my shirt collar is uncomfortable when buttoned."

He probably had the mayor in the truck with him. That automatically made it OK.

Look, I live in Chicago, and people around here go bugfuck crazy on the roads when it rains. Every single year of my life I've had to listen to the network affiliates here position their junior reporters at photogenic locations during the first snowfall of the winter to breathlessly explain to us that all drivers

I watched a production of The Tempest in the back patio of a bar last month where the comedic relief drank from a "wine jug" and then loudly complained that it was Malort. One of many highlights from that show.

Somehow I imagine that the NFL could force the Patriots to trade for Cutler and the Bears would still come out worse.

I agree with your main point, but exactly how much are you willing to spend for used beer? If a Volvo has a good value per dollar, I'm not sure used beer is the metaphor you're looking for here.

This movie provided my shorthand reference for crappy American sedans for close to 10 years. "I want an American car that gets really shitty gas mileage." Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 6000 SUX (8.2 mpg)!

Hey, another Avengers vs. X-Men throwdown! Haven't seen one of those in a while! Has it been that long since the whole AvX event?

Good Christ, that sequence looked like the local gym when both teams are on their third straight game.

The "leaving your cards on the table" part, at least, is primarily a Hold 'Em rule. You only have two cards and should be able to remember four bits of information (value + suit for each card) without having to constantly look at the cards. If you're in a game of 5-card draw? Sure, keep those cards in your hand.
