Hmm, good idea... But at this point we call it 'wrestling' in conversation, so we can discuss when the kid is around.

Whatever, science. I'm still putting it in MyFitnessPal as "wrestling" so I can go ahead and not feel bad about putting strawberries in my post-coital bowl of Special K.

I pretty consistently use between 1 and 3 GB per month on my iPhone. That will typically include 6-10 hours a week of pandora streaming in the car. I don't really do much else that is super data-intensive, but I never worry about using too much data.

I have to agree. Funny enough, I also bought a 6-1/2" chef's knife a while back for around $100 as a present for an ex. I really need to get myself another one.

But if you're paying off revolving accounts anyway, worst case you could just pull the cash back out of your credit card. Of course, you are correct and it is definitely something to consider.

Yes, I did this as well. I took out $6000 to pay off my credit cards. In doing so, I lowered my debt-to-credit ratio under the cutoff, and raised my score into the mid-700s. Plus, it'll be paid off faster and cost me less money per month than if I had continued paying on the cards as I had been.

I was getting pretty close to pulling the trigger on a JSW TDI but if this 6 is good enough, it is tempting. You just know there's going to be first-run woes on the new powertrain, though.

He's saying that the one person manning each bank of 4 self-check-out lanes could have scanned the items of all four lanes faster than the people doing it. So actually they are not saving labor at all.
