Dryer rebate? Clothesline :coolsmiley:

All but 2,7 and 10 are Right to Work States and that may well be a contributing factor as well.

What a hunk Dawg! No wonder you are so dang happy, you got good looks to spare! :smitten::smitten:

Here is a most intresting article on some issues facing some folks in the coming months. Home short-sellers may face painful taxes Home short-sellers may face painful taxes | Real Estate News | eastvalleytribune.com

Consumers are not savy consumers directly related to subsidy by insurers or subsidy by gov't Drug costs R&D subsidized by US Breakdown of family unit feeling responsible to assist elders Ignorance of common sense in new parents Direct drug advertising to consumers who demand latest and...

One of the biggies here is that we in the US pay what percentage of drug R&D? We subsidize the entire worlds costs. Does that really seem right? We can't import drugs legally and pay as much as 4 times the other industrialized nations. Why is that the way? As it has been written about, the...

Check out for a few days with a basic pad of paper and a pencil, draw a line down the middle of it and label them Pro's and Con's. After a few days without others noise the answer should be clear and if not then flip a coin. Take some time once decision is made to mentally try it on. Even...

I gave up on live trees the year my daughter went into the hospital for a week after putting up the tree with an asthma attack. On New Years when I took it down she went back for another week. It was enough real tree for me when she was only three. My son and I just finished putting up a 16...

Some folks have touched on the restaurants and their issues but grocery stores & deli's face equal issues with date expirations. It's not uncommon for a store to fill grocery carts and dumpsters behind their stores. My local fav puts carts full out daily and leave them in store carts till...

Good neighbors, good insurance and to my mind the most important is good location. Check the crime index for any area before purchase and go thru the adjoining areas as a zip code can be fairly small in geographic terms. Insurance agents can help as the companies rate base on crime stats by zip...

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck has lots of lessons for me, I first read it about age 9 and reread for the 4th time last year. The Millionaire Next Door is almost always on a table and picked up for a few pages ever week. I love garage sales and Salvation Army Store to buy my reading material...

I am in the more than one category for vaious reasons mentioned as well as investment strategy. It is easier with two to have one in stocks and the other in bonds/cd's. I tend to monitor and trade the stocks, ETF's and ignore the other. It is lest mind confusion to have seperated even though...

I truly doubt if you need or want my pity, rather I admire what you have done. If the market slide had continued I would have been evaluating my options as well. I frankly do not want to go back to work but do find that the better option to gaming the system. Congrats to you for having a...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :coolsmiley:;)

It's one thing to want a piece of the Obama pie and quite another for those who will not get any that I pity. If this "what can I get philosophy of greed and screw your neighbor" continues, we may become a nation of oldsters very quickly as our youth immigrate away from a debt load that is...

What is rarely mentioned is that so many of the deadbeats with an income took the adjustable rate for several years to enhance their standard of living with way below market rates. Those folks should be considered as opportunistic scammers for their gambling at our expense. I know of more than...

Well, I am getting by on slightly under $50K. I have a mortgage of 100K left and the property taxes are $2600 annually and climbing. I have retiree healthcare which I get all of the increases in. In 2010 my premium will be a shade north of $300 monthly. Electricity is a biggie at $300 a...

Keep the staples stocked up in the pantry when on sale here. Check the weekly ads and hit 2 or 3 stores in a month for specials. Cook many items in bulk and freeze. Bake fresh bread once or twice a week. Hit the produce stand twice a month. Rarely use coupons as I do not buy processed foods...

My hands down favorite and I have and enjoy a lot of Christmas music. My CD jukebox stays loaded all year long with 50 Christmas CD's and anytime I am feeling blue I crank it up for an hour or so. On Thanksgiving once the pie and coffee is over we turn it on and that is the music till New...

Good! I thought food poisoning got me!

I can never forget having lost my father on the 50 anniversary of the attack. I always take stock on certain days of the year and this is one. God bless all of the troops for all they have done in the past and continue to do now and into the future.

Are you sleep walking? Ever loan your keys to a friend who is a prankster? Can it be a frequency remote control transmitter? If so, could it be disabled by a mechanic?

I tend to prefer wool for traveling. I can wear light weight wool anytime and I live in Phoenix. It travels like a champ! Throw in some jeans and a couple of knit tops and I am good to go. A basic wool blazer serves as a jacket or dress up with a pair of slacks. My favorite is a traditional...

All I know is it appears he crapped in his own punchbowl. May he enjoy the party. When men or women lose their honor they frequently do not do a good or quick recovery. The poem "The Guy in the Glass" comes to mind. It is one of my favorites and no, I did not pick it up from AA.

I pay $8.95 at Schwab no matter how many shares except when my buddy gives me a block of free trades.
