    Investment/Debt Related Questions

    You sound similar to my wife and me, we're in our 70s, we down sided about 3 years ago to a very nice two year old 2000 sq ft one level. Complete with hardwoods in the den, living, dinning, kitchen and hallways, granite countertops, all nice finishing touches. We did spend a chunk on new...

    Investment/Debt Related Questions

    First, I've never paid interest on a car loan. It's a depreciating asset. So just stop sell the damn thing and buy a car for cash. Second, when it comes to owning homes, really consider moving at a minimum of every 5 years. Assuming home prices are increasing, you and your wife filing joint can...

    Dumb stuff I want.

    Ever build your own rod? I've built a few many years ago and really enjoyed them. I liked the idea that I can put the spine of the rod blank the way I want it. It changes how it casts and or how it sets on a strike.

    B1G Ten transition

    We should be fine... :) We have a few things going for us. It will be fun, of course we don't play hockey like the flatlanders do.

    B1G Ten transition

    Love you guys, Tenn fans are great. It's going to be very weird, being in the B1G, especially with the animosity between the B1G and the SEC. But next year, we'll be B1G Ten and that's just going to be strange. I will always give Tenn and LSU lots of credit for being willing to play out west...

    Recruiting Football Talk VII

    Oregon in my opinion is sort of interesting. I've always liked a 8 man rotation and Oregon is running with 8 scholarship players. I've played on teams like this and they can become pretty tough for opponents. I don't know if the legs eventually go and you just come up short on jumpers. If the...

    Recruiting Football Talk VII

    Dana Altman is an excellent coach. His staff doesn't change much and his teams seem to start the season slow and finish strong. He seems to lose some early games then as the season goes on the defense starts getting better and better, then about Jan or Feb they start really believing in...

    Recruiting Football Talk VII

    Oregon is NOT "finally healthy" they are still missing Bittle, Cook and Barthelemy. These are three excellent players.

    Just how ignorant are the young people today?

    Actually, this issue with the change happened at a McDonald's drive threw window. Jammed the whole place up for a while. Also, I'd like to add that their are plenty of smart young people out there. I've agreed to pay for my granddaughter's MBA program. She's coming this weekend to make her...

    Just how ignorant are the young people today?

    Two stories just from today... I was talking to a friend who's wife is a teacher. She's tutoring a student teacher at the elementary level. This student teacher is teaching the kids about how to tell time on an analog clock. She says that since it's a quarter past eleven, and since a quarter is...

    On this date in 1945

    My father fought in WWII, I asked him about it a couple times, he would never talk about it, with one exception. It was sort of a funny story. I was stationed in Germany in the 60s (USAF) and my parents came over and we toured around Europe together for a month. We were in a small Germany town...
