Verizon has a lot going against it (even if coverage isn't one of them). First, they are still CDMA, which just annoys me to no end. There isn't any reason to still be doing CMDA, especially when you have to have a GSM sim in every phone for international coverage. Second, they have an infuriating need to control…

I've often said that baseball is a great 45 minutes of game crammed into 4 hours.

Generally, I won't pay for apps. But there have been some special apps that have gotten me to pay a dollar. The only app more than $1 I bought is Zombie, Run! which was actually $7.99. But that was totally worth it. But generally it is at most $1.

While you may not have anything then, why can't you plan for the future. It wouldn't be hard to think of things and put them in. Sure, you may not know your careers, but it would benefit to put in "If one party makes more than $20000 a year more than the other, then there will be spousal support of $X" or the person…

I don't see how the pre-nup could be considered a "way out". Divorce is almost never easy. It's not like someone thinks "well, we had a fight. normally I would stick it out but since I have a pre-nup, I'm just going to call it quits now" (well, not anyone in a real relationship). The pre-nup just guards against some…

Having been married (and had an very amicable divorce) the best advice I could give anyone is to always get a pre-nup. ALWAYS. The idea behind a pre-nup is simple to make sure that if the marriage breaks up (and half do) that you have a fair starting place for dividing thing which will help cut down on the animosity…

It's definitely because they are looking at the big Billboard hits. If you look sat older or less popular artists/songs, Amazon almost always comes out cheaper.

I read the title and immediately thought she started changing her relationship, with money. I was excited to hear how she was paying her boyfriend to do things and adding a hooker to their love life.

If you look closer, the 300 MB plan is only available with dumb phone, not smart phones. So the cheapest plan you can get with a smart phone is the 2 GB plan.

While I am sure your costs went up, I would question how much was actually do to the ACA. Insurance premiums have been steadily increasing for probably the last 10-15 years. But once the ACA was passed, it suddenly became "My premiums went up. Thanks Obama." The ACA is being used as a scapegoat for a lot of things…

If you want to invest in individual stocks, the best advise I was ever given is to invest in companies you know and trust. Yes, you can go out and research and invest in companies that are up and coming and take your chances, but if you invest in things you already know and trust, chances are they are good companies…

Most things hit the internet is one fell swoop. As people discover "cool new things" they share them and they spread across the entire internet with hours or days. So when something good comes along, it hits all the major sites in the same time frame. So people submit it here, to Reddit, to Slashdot (if appropriate),…

But then the body may roll over on it...

A "brisk" 7 minutes per mile? I run regularly, that is more than a brisk run, that is a damn sprint. Your average person is running closer to 10 minute miles, not 7. If you are averaging 7 minute miles, you are an incredibly runner.

Board Chairman Dr. Greg Hoversten said: "That really bothers me. Iowa women are the first ones to get this in this fashion. There's something wrong there. It doesn't seem right."

I use the Facebook check in feature as free advertisement for cool places I go. I would never check in at a friend's house or at Chipotle, but if I am at a cool local restaurant I'll check in. I figure if my friends see I'm there they may be more familiar with it. Then if sometime in the future someone says "let's…

I am in the same situation. What I do instead of starting the shower is just use hot water to brush my teeth and leave it running while I do. This gets the hot water to the bathroom and then the shower only takes a couple second to warm up. Plus, if it heats up faster, I can turn off the water in the sink and save…

While I love the idea of doing away with tips, adding an automatic 18% "tip" to the check is not the way to do it. This still means that the waitstaff is not making a proper amount of money. On a slow day, they still may not make minimum wage. Plus, what they are paid is still tied to what I order. Why should the…

I found a little. cheap bedside alarm about 10 years ago that is wonderful. Beyond the normal functions like 2 separate alarms, the beeping alarm actually starts off quiet and starts getting louder. So instead of being jarred awake by a blaring alarm, if wakes you up up a minute or 2 and at a sound level that…

I didn't realize an adult size onesie was the new twerking uniform.
