My wife is pushing for these with the local police dept and the school. I would take video with my phone and send it if I thought it would do anything. It is ridiculous.

Jeez without knowing anything more than what you just typed up I would say do whatever you want. There is no way someone can give good advice based on what you just said.

People who blow through school bus stop signs. The worst kind of people IMO. Saw 3 of them this morning while my kids were getting on the bus. My wife has called the cops about it multiple times. Not a care in the world...just blowing right through a bus sitting for 30 seconds waiting for the kids to get on. It happens at least twice a week.

It was brutal. It was not close.

100%, but I think across the board Sony usually is at the tops in terms of quality and value etc. I have not looked it up in awhile, but I know they used to be. Depending on how much I paid for the TV would depend on if I open it up or not. What is the time worth? It is an individual decision. I have been known to spend WAAAAAY too much time trying to fix something out of spite more than out of a cost analysis.

I do not care which team it was as I have no dog in the fight at all..., but when the zone gets expanded THAT much and you are a team that is VERY conscious about not swinging out of the SZ....it can all add up. As far as Boston fans...they can all go suck an egg as far as I am concerned.

I was watching when JD got hosed by 2 different calls WELL off the plate.

The # of TV's I have is ridiculous. That 55 Sony is in my garage. If you paid big bucks for a TV and it only lasted 5 years...I would def not go back to that brand. Honestly I have always found Sony products to be top of the line.

That was a good game last night. The 5-3 was disappointing and while they did leave a lot on the ice they played well. They need to learn the art of the one timer...there were at least 3 different times when they had an open net, but pulled the puck back before sticking it. They are looking pretty good so far though. The D was smothering them all night, not giving them any room to do much of anything.

I have a Sony 55 that I have had for a long time and it is holding up nicely. You get what you pay for. I also have this behemoth 82 Samsung that I got for peanuts...my Sony 55 is a better TV for sure. When it comes to electronics you really have to dig and do your homework, more times than not you get what you pay for, but you may be able to find good deals on good brands if you do some digging. 4.5 years is not very long at all for a TV. If it were me I would stay away from LG for that reason alone, I have never owned an LG TV though.

It is not fun, but if you want to save money it is something you have to do. I actually had Progressive for about 10 years straight about 2 years ago when the rate went up because of the removal of unlimited PIP being a requirement in Michigan...I wanted to keep unlimited even though it costs a lot more because I am a responsible adult who does not want to put the burden of my care into someone elses hands if the unthinkable happens. I ended up getting the same coverage for a little less than I was spending monthly before it shot up. It is all about timing. I am executor on my parents estate and I shopped their insurance about a year ago. They had been with AAA for like 40 years...they were being taken advantage of bigtime. My dad has always been hush about his finances until he decided he wanted some help managing it. I got his for almost 200.00 less a month. They just did not want to bother with it...it is hard to blame older people who do not have a grip on the new tech. It took me a few days to get everything together that would have taken them months for sure.

They must have had an AMAZING marketing team back then because I recall all of those...35+ years later.

I had to look it up because it sounded soooooo familiar. Was it the Popeye movie with Robin Williams...nope. I remember sitting in the store with my dad on more than a couple occasions when he was trying to haggle with a sales person to buy a TV or something. He always loved the new tech, but almost never could afford it so when he did go it was an event.

When I first started really investing I noticed I could not really just buy stocks for a company I thought was worth it because like you said the price was too high or the shares you were forced to buy pushed it out of my range at the time. Now I have money that goes directly into a money market account and get transferred from there to the stocks of my choice...there is usually a good amount left over so I dabble with that money into random stocks that I hear about, the latest was BOXL, GTE and ZEN. I need to stay away from crypto though. My timing on those is really bad because I only buy it when I hear about it from an outside sourse...by that time it is WAAAAY too late to get in on it, but I think everyone wants a piece of whatever Crypto ends up taking over for the dollar so it is hard to pass them up.

Shop your home and car insurance at least once a year. Never open a hair salon. Take vitamins. Be nice to people.

Since the last Investing thread I have bought about 6-7 individual stocks based on stuff I have heard. Maybe 3-4k on those, but all of our real money goes into mutual funds. We are in 17 different positions right now. Fairly diversified I think.

Day trading is a different animal than investing for retirement. My goal is long haul so I put the money in and do not touch it.

I do all my own investing also. When I started I put all of our money in 5 different funds that I took weeks to research. They are doing really well. Since then I take fliers on random companies here and there with a few hundred...those are up and down, but my main ones are the ones doing well.

Missed the game Saturday, glad they got the win!

Serving 2 purposes to the space tourism industry....one is super obvious the other is proving a 90+ year old man can go into space safely.

I will give you 2 guesses, but you will only need one.

Also just keep in mind this is the same guy who bet a buddy 100.00 the Lions would win more than 5 games this year....not looking that great for me.

I guess I am expecting more out of Cade than most people as long as he stays healthy. I fully expect 30+ wins this year. I have not broken the schedule down as you have, but like you said they will win some they should not have and lose some they should not have. You are 100% more locked in to the current state of other teams than I am. I guess I am being overly optimistic because I would like to see them start competing for long runs in the playoffs sooner rather than later.

I would imagine you should be able to just push the bar back? The neighbor on my one side has a large wooden fence that was there when we bought the house because of his dogs...the other neighbor we have nothing there at all or the back. I prefer the kind of fence you have to a full on wooden picket fence. My neighbors is looking pretty rough...I wish he would take it down.

That I know, but 25 wins?
