Of course she is--she was driving a BMW after all.  Nothing's her fault.

Take a look at Stocks for the Long Run by Jeremy Siegel.  If you really want to get into the details, read The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

I can't write "I'm an ***** who can't write TIME!" either.  I wonder if it only affects people that were members at the time the word was banned due to NJMike?

I rearranged the spice rack because there were three Cumins, four Red Peppers, two Garam Masalas, etc. and they were all over the place rather than next to each other. Boy was that a mistake!

Cheby's posts are spot on.  Just to add to what he said: From what I've read AFCIs are required for pretty much everything new these days (residential), but if you don't put one in worst is you'll be called out on it in an inspection. Since your wiring is already installed, 20 A vs 15 A will...

I'm trailer trash:  have a Wal-mart Straight Talk prepaid phone.  Because it uses Verizon's network for about half the price.  Before I switched to Straight Talk I used T-mobile, but when I moved out to the boonies the T-mobile phone had no service.

Yes, and he claimed he didn't have a place for it in his new house, which was as big as this one.

I bought my house from a nurse anesthetist.  Some of the simple things I had to walk him through, makes me scared to ever have to be put under if that's the intelligence level. He also really, really wanted me to buy his office desk, from a furniture company named..... "Winners Only"

Looking at the JBL Boombox.  Don't have a decent outdoor bluetooth speaker.  The thing with this type of sale is it tempts me to buy stuff without fully vetting it.

Speaking of squirrels, I hear they're good eating so I'm thinking of trying some squirrel hunting this fall.  Sounds like fun with my .17 HMR.  Anyone have a good recipe?

My wife did a bunch of turnip greens this year, and I have to agree.  I like collards but turnip greens are too bitter.

In addition to this, what I've heard is the crime rate is going up.  Anecdotally, recently there was a shooting in the Aria valet area, a stabbing on the Deuce bus right in front of Paris, and a big fight on the floor of the Encore casino (something like 20+ people arrested.)

@Road Guy Sorry to hear the work trip was sucky.  Hopefully the weekend is turning out better! I don't have much desire to got back anytime soon, especially with your confirmation that things are kind of bleak.  Not worth the 4-hour plane ride each way.  Kind sucks 'cause we used to go three...

One of the field techs I work with swears by using a thermos to bring along soup.  Maybe a way to get some hot food when you're tired of the cold options. Of course, they also have to work outside in the snowy and cold Michigan winters and you won't have that problem. 

That Twin Peaks in Vegas closed.  Now where am I going to see ****s in Vegas?

That's correct, and a good observation from an engineer.  My wife is not an engineer! Hopefully we get most of the jars back though.

Hell no, we don't even come close to using all those canned tomatoes.  We use maybe 20 quarts tops.  Giving the rest away. Hopefully we'll have the same luck with the cold shock.  It's supposed to be up to nearly 80 again for the next couple weeks.  Wife is now on a salsa kick since we don't...

First frost came Saturday morning.  We got the tomatoes and peppers covered with blankets and they seem to have survived. So far we've canned 35 quarts and 8 pints of tomatoes, a couple pints of pickled okra, a pint of pickled jalapenos and three pints of green tomato salsa.  Canning lids are a...

@Road Guy I'm not sure if a rear defroster will help a lot without a wiper back there?  The rear wiper on my XJ stopped working a long time ago, and even with the rear defroster I usually can't see out the back in the winter because the window gets covered in salt residue within 5 seconds of...
