True Story: When I first got out of college I worked for a vet and was the early morning guy. Opened up shop, got things prepped etc. One of the first few weeks there I get into work and there is a note on one of the big dog cages "Do not take the chain and lock off of this cage, this dog will escape!" The dog in the…

Early on we decided that we would limit TV,Video Games, Screens in General to Friday night after school till Sunday night. No screens during the day after 11am on the weekends till about 6pm. we've stuck with that. They are encouraged to read and can do that anytime they want. They are now 8 and 12 and avid readers,…

This!

It did. I thought to my self, I guess it can't hurt to try. I started checking in on my credit report a month or so later and would see the number had jumped up and the ding had been removed. It just kept happening. I think the got married, first house, thing was the key. I mean, if I was someone who had the power to…

I had pretty crappy credit for a while there. I ended up writing a letter to all my creditors asking if they can, in their hearts remove the ding from my report. "You see, my wife and I are embarking on looking for our first home and it would help so much if the negative marks on my report weren't there." In truth, I…

Niner fan here. When asked what teams I hate the most, It's the Cowboys and the Packers. Mainly because all those years of potential glory squashed by those teams. Seattle beats us this year and keeps us from a division win/playoff run, then it's game on. Do that two years in a row, well yea I'm going to hate you.…

Age: 16

It's been 5-6 years since I went last, I doubt it's really changed much since then, except for a few more people. For a first timer, it's going to blow your mind, period, regardless if you do drugs or not. I've went with folks who don't drink and do drugs many times and almost unanimously they all thought it was…

The easy answer is it's a potluck festival. Everyone who attends is expected to contribute somehow, and thus be an "participant" and not an observer. What you bring is completely up to you, be that art, and activity or and idea. Now imagine that 50% of 60,000 people are contributing to this festival, you get a whole…

Your last two picks should be a defense and a kicker.

My wife and I decided to go the uncut route, even though I am. figured that was the way we were meant to be, so rolled with that. On making my decision though, I needed to be sure, so I went to my Old Boss that was one of these, Guy-Guy types, was in fraternity, always talking about that woman over there and that one…

59 sec. How'd I do?

I've only used it one time, last Christmas in Kauai. Got a condo with beach access at 2/3rds the going rate. Went smooth as can be.

I have Dell 4320, 43oo Lumens, wireless. Got for dirt cheap(bought two). Best projector I've ever owned(and I've owned lots).

What?! No Pliny the Elder?! This list is bogus!

I work in the finance/high tech industry and as a rule, if we see a resume with an aol address it goes in the garbage. Industry standard pretty much.

Is there any chance that the dreaded YLOD could be a result of this update problem. Came home a few days ago to play my new Last of Us disc and got the YLOD. I do remember doing the update recently.

Without the music that would be some bat shit crazy that just went by there!

In the past I would have said, avoid cruises if you are a true traveler and really want to see the places the cruise is going. You get a half day at best at any of the stops. First time I took a cruise I was really bummed every time we had to return to the ship to go to the next place. went away feeling that the whole…

My kids know better than to touch my pop tarts! I think along with all the other important things you need to teach them, like looking both ways when crossing the street, never eat in a bath room, don't water the cat... etc., touching another man's fries or pop-tarts is a big no no.
