A great clue to if they took good care of electronics (and to make sure they weren't stolen) is if they still have the accessories like the manual, original box, CDs, remote, etc. You can also sell items for more if you have these items!

I'd amend the list so that you CAN buy electronics on Craigslist (e.g. latops, tablets, TVs) as long as you can "test drive" them beforehand.

It may not be sexy, but my Honda Element is pretty awesome. The spare tire hatch turns into a table. A FUCKING TABLE.

I don't really care about the brand, but the shape of the grill is important. I prefer rectangle or barrel-shaped grills so you can pile the charcoal on one side, but not the other and create a "hot" and "warm" side. That way you have a lot of control over how fast your food cooks - slow cooking like veggies and corn…

Very good point. We always plan for the best, not the worst.

Gotcha. We do that now by us splitting the rent and bills proportionally to our income (we split it her 35%, me 65% since I make a little more than her each month). I imagine we will do the same thing in the future and it'd be split 25/75.

Very true. It's something to discuss with my future spouse in a mature manner. I don't distrust her in the least, she's not a gold digger (we started dating long before she knew my graduate plans), and I don't anticipate divorce. However, I also acknowledge that reality is not always pretty.

She will make about 1/4th of what I make. I can't control the demand for her field (she is a Registered Vet Tech), but for better or for worse also includes income. As long as we are together I have no problem keeping our money together.

Yes. Committed relationship of 5 years and I plan to propose to her this Winter. Actually, I'll be helping her pay HER loans (she is an RVT), but that's how it happens when you combine expenses.

Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Even with that starting salary I sometimes wonder if it's worth all the work. Just the dissertation to finish and I'm done!

I am finishing my PhD in May. Because I am acclimated to living at about $18k a year, and because my starting salary should be around $90-$120k, I plan to live at around $50-60k a year and put the rest towards student loans. I will have about $120k in student loans from undergraduate, masters program, and then a…

Severa. Waffle Houses in Norman, Moore, and OKC. Okay, maybe one less in Moore.

I voted for the LG Nexus 4, but I actually have the LG Optimus G from Sprint (basically the Nexus platform but not Nexus brand). It's a great phone though it does get "warm" to the point that the brightness adjusts itself to prevent overheating.

It's very good for swamp ass syndrome, for sure. I myself got a seat cushion and it's been no problem since, I just don't understand why everyone raves about the chair when everyone I know mentions how uncomfortable it is.

I'm the only person that absolutely hates the Herman Miller Aeron. I'm a big guy and the seat netting around the plastic frame is absolutely terrible on my ass. I ended up having to buy a $10 seat cushion for it to be comfortable. I do, however, like how the arms are adjustable so they can be adjusted for my taller…

It very well may be just the trapping of radiant heat that would otherwise be lost, though passive convection occurs as hot air rises and, upon cooling descends (similar to boiling water so that it creates a rolling boil). However, given the small environment of a skillet, it may just be radiant heat. Thanks for…

Cook your meats on a lower temp as you want your meat to get cooked in the center before it's done on the outside. Medium temp is probably best. If you are using a skillet, also make sure you use the lid as well! It creates convection and cooks the top part of the meat without it having to touch the grilling surface.…

I don't understand the purpose with "new compose". Nothing was wrong with the old compose....at all.

Nice! I have been looking for something like this to gather comprehensive student loan information once I graduate.

In my experience a vast majority of Crest toothpaste isn't ADA approved. That is one of the reasons I stick with Colgate. Always check for the ADA seal.
