eehhhh, the issue of looking at the monthly payment as the bottom line isn’t anything new though. What I will tip my hat to though with regards to the current generation - the “now” attitude lends itself to being raped by dealers...so I don’t think its so much “they” are focusing on the monthly payments as it is, the…

Serious question though, how can it EAT a fish that large? It can’t really tear it apart by doing the death spiral...

I still am “meh” about the whole thing, sure she was “wrong”, but even in that she’s done more than the majority of folks I know. so much energy has been thrown into tearing her down, when it could be invested in building us up.

I’m not even sure how I would have handled it. When Steve Havey met with Trump, he got lambasted by us (PoC) - as if him trying to have some kind of discourse was a bad thing - but the one comment with weight was “Harvey is a comedian, if he really wanted to make moves, he should have brought other people with him to…

While I don’t disagree, there is this assumption that those that don’t vote are 1) knowledgeable about the subjects and 2) GOING TO VOTE IN YOUR DIRECTION. So many people acted as though “if more people voted” as if other PoC or women didn’t vote for Trump - they did, so the assumption that their poll numbers being…

So summing everything up, its exactly what I thought...a system better suited for a “version 2" purchase.

I’ve got something I’ve been working on “forever”, along the way things have knocked me off course, but my interest gets me right back on eventually. I’ve missed some windows and have focused on creating others to compensate...to keep my goals realistic. What’s really thrown a wrench into everything is frankly other…

Is it really hard to see why though...the 1% just got another piece in the door that lets them grow their pie - of course they and everyone who thinks like them - think things are going to be great....while those who make up the rest are actively seeing the door bust open and are watching as they know they are going…

I would love to thumbs up this, but as a dad with a fairly large and diverse set of legos, this just doesn’t work. I’ve tried multiple things, right now we have (from ikea) one of the 5 box storage solutions with double drawers in 4 of them and a hinged door in the middle one. In the middle one we keep tackle boxes…

I typically chop up veggies, cook them on the stove, then pour the sauce in with them and let that simmer for a bit. Then I pour a little in with my pasta on super hot heat, once that’s evaporated, I pour the rest in and let that simmer for a bit.

Mitch actually has done a good job, outside of the FA botching the past couple of years...though I still lay most of it on Kobe’s head. While I picture this easily burning up horribly, I see one pro - Johnson will add ‘some’ level of credibility, along with business acumen for players with a name who want to expand…

No, its trying to NOT stereotype, but preparing for the stereotype because we have to. We aren’t the ones with power in the situation, we aren’t inviting the confrontations. Its also unfair to stereotype police as “bad” when if something goes wrong, THAT’S who you go to, and hell, just being real about it - most…

I agree, I also personally feel that most cops are good, I have cop friends. I try my best to instill that in him. But as I mentioned - the problem is kids see how parents react and how they feel. I can say for 24 hours that cops are good, but if I see a cop, even though I’m as clean as the inside of a bottle of…

Unfortunately, just continue trying. There is s much...upheaval of racial relations progress right now that I don’t think anyone really know what to do. I live in 95% white area - only have seen one other black family where we live - and my neighbors will talk to my wife but not me. However, the daycare/school that…

The tough part is “how much the kids pick up from their environment”. Again, I can talk till I’m blue in the face (no pun intended) about how good and important the police force is...but just being in the presence of an officer gives me nightmarish chills and concerns of uncertaintity that I am SURE he picks up. So…

if you aren’t in a rush you should ALWAYS do this, they typically have to make a fresh batch of fries for you, then just salt them yourself to get fresh hot fries - salted to the levels you want.

Sure - part of making them self-sufficient is the almighty BS-detector, but I think this is part of it...generalizations are ‘bad’. Right now, my son isn’t even approaching self-sufficiency (he’s 5), so I have to try and wash away the BS until he is capable of doing so.

Funny you say that...so my son had some assignment in some newspaper-ish print out for kids. On the front it had Trump and inside the spread had a picture of him with the text “This is my President”. I’ve NEVER said Trump isn’t my president, I’m not that full of myself to ignore the obvious...but my son had…

I agree, but only so much - especially right now - is in our *parents* control. My son has simply overheard sooooo much from his surroundings - and I’m positive I don’t help matters with my...ahem...dislike...of the current political situation...so there is a need to be progressive about stereotypes outside of…
