Well, I'm understanding of your plight. I wish my body to be donated to Wierd Science. Like on X-files and Fringe. :)

Budgets???? We don' need no stinkin' budgets!!!

Hmmmm... folks, the best advice I can give is to read up on the psychology of sales. This encompasses ALL sales, from car buying in the physical world to shoe shopping on the internet. It's all about attempting to manipulate your feelings and emotions. Salesmen seem to all be taught out of the same book. If you…

Keep in mind...this was 1978-1980. Pre-internet shopping comparison.

Dress down. Wear frayed cutoff jeans and your holey old yard mowing tennis shoes.

Mario Teaches Typing??? Hah. Mavis Beacon can kick Mario's little animated buttocks any day of the week.

And don't forget to add number 4 to your list:

I find that I know it's time to roll over and sleep when my Galaxy Mega 6.3 KLONKs me on the nose.

I've been saving this just for this moment. :)

I'm an old timer. I still love Notepad. When I feel like bein' all fancy'n'stuff, I use Wordpad. ;]

Whatta Buncha Amateurs !!! I'm in my third marriage. All three have had their immediate family LOCAL .

Agreed. That is definitely an "I Just Sharted In My Tuxedo Pants" face.

I'm very nearsighted. Since many of our applications at work are browser based nowadays, I use Ctrl Plus and Ctrl minus keyboard combos extensively. This might be a great trick to teach your parents and grandparents. I know that it works in Firefox, MSIE and Chrome browsers. I have also tried it in many other…

Evil? Yep.

I agree. Funeral related costs are MUCH less pre-need than OMG-i-need-right-now pricing. Cemetery plots can be financed out etc.

Credit Union FTW. Refinanced both house and car in 2014 calendar year. House is now at 4.5 and car is 3.5 percent. House loan was granted due to me being a very long time customer (20+ years) with hardships. 2012-2013 sucked. This was even with banged-up credit and a car repo on record.

p.s. i won't tell if you dig a nice deep hole in the back yard and bury cremains in it. They are quite sanitary, but I do recommend wearing a dust mask. I've always wanted to be mixed with concrete and turned into a Memorial Patio........but I'm a little weird. OK, a LOT weird.

It's very likely illegal to bury human remains on land that you own unless you have part of it officially and permanently designated as a cemetery. Start researching the laws in your state.

Thankfully, we use a local locksmith shop that has been in the neighborhood for decades and has always been up front about pricing. They aren't the cheapest, but their work is always top notch.

Soylent Green is people !!!
