Careful with the M560 mouse. I cannot get their software to install on a Win 7 machine. I was really hoping to customize the buttons to do useful things. :/

I bought a 2006 Mazda 6 in 2007. Paid it off in 2011. I’m at 152k miles and just had my first “major” repair in January. Up until that repair (new exhaust due to 2 holes in my flex joints, basically my car was quite loud) it was only lights, brake pads, and tires. Regular stuff. Very happy with the car.

Based on 1 experience with 1 car It will be difficult for me not to buy another Mazda.

Thanks for the hat-tip to MN. That’s where I hail from. MN makes the news about three times a year between controversial/terrible sports teams and cold weather.

As a midwesterner I have to ask the obvious question; Why would someone pick Milwaukee when Chicago is 90 miles away.

I’ve had mine less than 4 months and the Velcro strap for the excess cord isn’t holding up. I would not purchase a second one.

A.) Don’t take things so personally. We’re both making valid points.

If you’re gonna put it back to the loan or invest it that’s one thing.

why did you take cash back at closing? you essentially just got cash that you will pay interest on for the next 15 years.

Same thing we’re doing. We’re 4 years into a 30 year and can refi into a 20, lose the PMI, and make the same payment we are making today. Even if we throw the closing costs into the loan.

History is a great example. I have no idea what happened to me in high school but (when I was in college) I could not recall basic American history. I took 4 history classes over 2 summers to give myself a base of knowledge.

Pizza cutters. You can cut all the food your child will consume from birth until about 4 with a pizza cutter. It’s much more effective than a butter knife on a cutting board.

There is a lot to be said for being well-rounded. It’s a often used phrase that gets thrown around a lot but being well-rounded in a variety topics due to the general ed requirements has helped me a lot more than I thought as I struggled through gen ed requirements in college.

Close to a park? Rather, far away from Geary? Geary is gritty. Closer to a park is better.

Just kidding. There’s nothing to see there.

Kobe in Minnesota? Doubt it. Hands down it's a generic North Stars jersey with no player. Everyone wears North Stars gear.

I've heard from friends/family that going from 0-1 child is the biggest jump, 1-2 is a very close second because of the adjustments the first child will need to make, but any more kids after 2 are pretty easy.

Yeah I can't really wrap head around the 'American is going to shit' part of your statement.

And it costs way less. My family got hooked on the K-cups and tried to persuade me. I resisted and bought a "fancy" coffee machine for about $130 and stored by $20 Mr Coffee machine. The fancy machine broke after 3 years (it had a 3 year warranty) and now I'm back to my Mr Coffee and I can't tell the difference. To…
