For better or worse (usually worse), people without an insurance/sales background are the people who currently sell insurance and I think they know that anyone who’s done it would never do it again. So, background not required AND highly discouraged. But also, to sell insurance you need a large rolodex of other…

Yep. I’m about halfway between my 20s and retirement and am buying the new Miata RF next year BECAUSE I’m properly saving for retirement. Better half thinks I deserve a BMW or M-B at this point in my life, but some people just don’t get that it’s the only logical choice in a drop-top under $35k. (BRZ can’t go topless…

Ha! Fooled you. It’s the same girl 20 times.

Being able to count is now “nit picky”??

Which is it, the 25 best films of the 21st century or the 25 best films since 2000? Because the year 2000 is in the 20th century. How is it that after 15 years you still don’t know this?

And as usual “the campaign” will make some sort of clarifying remarks that kind-of-but-not-really apologize or walk it back from the ledge. Not Trump himself, of course, convinced to his dying breath of perfect infallibility.

Check out this story & recipe, it may change your mind on fried-only: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/06/21/193904507/mastering-a-sea-monster-from-greece-a-lesson-in-grilling-octopus

If I can make one suggestion, it would be not to simply write a profile that is funny, intelligent, and engaging but to BE funny, intelligent, and engaging. Those things are in the eye of the beholder though, so don’t get discouraged if Angelina Jolie (on the market!) doesn’t write back, it just means she isn’t…

You’re living what I call in my other reply “being your own 10 and looking for your own 10,” not some idea of what other people (media, Kardashians, etc.) say is a 10 and I applaud that.

I think somewhere in the back of many men’s minds is the thought that “if I do this correctly, hot women will have NO CHOICE but to go out with me.”

I did a little bit of research on tankless units recently when I needed to replace my 50gal electric unit. The problem that I found is that they can substantially limit the flow rate if you’re trying use it to supply water to the whole house, otherwise you have to have several smaller units placed strategically and…

Like PRMan99, I’ve got an ancient Norelco (c. 1996?) that won’t die. Actually, it’s died twice, but I resurrected it twice with replacement NiCADs and it’s as good as new. It’s getting harder and harder to find replacement blade cartridges & foils, though I don’t replace them anywhere near as often as they recommend.

MR2 may not be Japanese for hope, but it is definitely French for “shit.” (emm-err-deux = merde)

I’m both surprised and not surprised that a doctor created this quack-science video. He’s correct in where hiccups come from - a spasm of the diaphragm. What really makes them go away is relaxing the diaphragm, which you can do while drinking from either side of a cup, swallowing a spoonful of sugar, or doing any one…

How about an article on selecting and finding a decent pre-owned PWC?

For what it’s worth, the best way to approach questions like this is to anticipate them in advance, to prepare and refine your response so that it doesn’t seem practiced or insincere. Yes, most employers value the ability to think on your feet, but that’s technical/problem-solving or situational ability. Talking about…

Well, which is it - Is it the 50 best film scores of the 21st century, or is it the best 50 film scores since 2000? They’re not the same thing, and fifteen years into the 21st century, you should know the difference by now.

So would any of these be good for a French onion soup? Better than traditional caramelizing + a few hours in a slow cooker?

Two words: Johnston & Murphy.

Notably absent are loafers but, if they’re going to include suede or nubuck, I’m baffled why saddles aren’t included or any of the many variations of boot.
