Most of the time or more of the time… semantics I guess. Like I said he preaches some good habits but I don’t think they are all that revolutionary. I agree with Chas on the Dr Laura comparison. He’s like Steve Harvey… it’s about the reaction he gives when a caller says something stupid. I did catch him make what I think is a wrong assumption. He tried to make an apples to apples comparison between investing $500 a month in a 401(k) vs $500 in a Roth and saying the Roth was better because of the tax advantage when you withdraw. But in order to invest $500 into the Roth you have to use after tax income. So it’s not the same. It was a clip so I couldn’t see alll or it. he also thinks it’s still possible to forgo the reliability of a new car for a $1000 clunker. Sure it’s better to go used in general but again check the math on what a decent used car goes for. Get out of your gated community and look around It’s not 2003 anymore

There's no law that says a political party has to have a primary. It's up to the party to decide how to pick their nominees. The only time the law comes into play is with regard to deadlines for printing ballots and all of that.

Ramsey's appeal is not unlike the old daytime talk shows like Springer and Jenny Jones, which morphed into Judge Judy. It makes people feel better about themselves to see other people doing life wrong. He's not preaching any rocket science. Avoid debt as much as you can, don't waste money, and spend less than you make. You don't need a recurring subscription to his services to know that. It's like working out and losing weight. Everybody knows what to do. It's just doing it that's hard for some people. "You can do this and I'm going to sell you a product to help you do it". I'm also biased because I've read about some practices in his company that.... aren't good. Men can screw around and cheat on their spoues and keep their jobs. The females can't.

I also get timeshare exit strategy videos. I clicked on once b/c unlike a lot of people I enjoy the presentations and sales pitches. I did it twice in order to stay at a resort. I love telling them no over and over and fighting and arguing with them. One guy told me that "Why should you pay for your kids college? I didn't pay mine?" and I retorted "You look like you are in your 60's and selling time shares.... " I figure once their alleged time is up I can be a jerk and if they get personal or sly insults, then all bets are off. Otherwise I'm fine to go thru the motions and listen. The other one I get is Dave Ramsey. That guy's a hoot. Many times his math just doesn't add up. Other times he ignores tax advantages. "If you invest $100 a month from 18 until you are 85, you will have $3.5 Million". Great. What good is $3.5M going to do for me when I am 85. I didn't go to Disney World or take that trip to Iceland but dangit.... I got $3M in the bank. There's a balance in life Dave. Money is not a sign or morality and he crosses that line. The other bits are poking fun at people's misery, I think the callers are fake, like those house hunters looking at $1.5 million houses with jobs that sound like they pay crap. "Hi, I'm 38 years old, my husband and I make $150K a year between the two of us and we have $1.5 Million in debt and are underwater on our house, the payments are $55,000 a month...."

that's the gray area then. Seems like you could do both at the same time. Are they holding one of those 60 minutes stop watches or something? I like the idea of the goalposts lighting up. The backboard in the NBA does that.

what does the rulebook say? Seems like somethig you could easily fix in a matter of a few seconds. Ask for an official review and get the right call. Is it at zero or is it at zero -1? I'm not being sarcastic, I don't really know. To me, logically if it's not snapped when you see a zero, then it's a violation. Is what we see on TV the official clock? It's 2025, it shouldn't be like this. This is not a gray area. In sports there are a lot of gray areas so for the ones where there's not it should be as perfect as possible.

Yes, I have noticed that too. Husbands with beards and beer bellies driving tractors and doing "manly" things while the wife stays home and raises the kids and cooks the food and makes sure she takes care of her man. "I'll get up at 6:00 am and make your lunch if you go to work and to prove it here's a video of me in my night shirt and no pants making your lunch on to prove it". 'Merica!

yep. I was pushed a series of women bowling. I clicked on one once because I thought it would be something funny or interesting, like a trick shot. Nope. Just a nice looking woman with a big booty bowling. Nothing interesting about it beyond that. Then I got more of them. Different women. I guess that's a thing? I wish they had a feature where you could could say something like "More like this" or "less like this". I'm not saying I'm perfect or anything but that's not what I want my social media to be about.

I still use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and follow certain hobbies but the site changed over the last few months. I noticed I am not seeing updates from groups I belong to but instead I get a bunch of AI generated posts from similar sounding groups. "Oh, you liked a post about a map? Here's 15 other posts written by AI about maps"

they can shoot the random black jogger who they feel isn't where they are 'supposed to be'. Then claim they were just doing their "duty" and some hayseed sheriff straight out of a movie will back them up. Then they all head to their Klan meeting that night.

I wonder if the Biden presidency is helping out with the transition efforts or are they acting like assholes like Trump's people did in 2021? We all know the answer to that.

is that the same guy who did the Wings for a year in 1996-1997 after Dave Strader left and before we got Ken Daniels? He almost ruined the Lemeiux/McCarty fight. "oh my goodness!" like he never saw a fight at a hockey game and was freaking out.

Thanks. I’m after the rotary style. I see a few there that look promising.

Just acting like an asshole. Or he’s ignorant and can’t read. He’s gotten to the point where he contributes nothing of value to this forum. He used to but now he’s gone full troll. That’s what happens when people get infested with the maga bug. It’s a virus that eats brain cells.

I’m trying to think of a scenario where a sitting VP ran and didn’t win the nomination. Closest thing I can come up with was Ford and Dole when Rockefeller was VP but I think that was very unique. Probably the best thing they could have hoped for was Biden dropping in 2023 and you have a primary but she wins. Maybe a token primary to act as sparring partners would for a boxer. what we may discover is a lot of party faithful not fully on board behind the scenes. those close to Biden screwed the pooch. Unless his decline was rapid they should have known this long ago.

I want something that doesn’t feel like it’s going to snap because I’m grating cheese. It’s the “nice cheese from the back of the store” as they said in Bridesmaids.

Anybody have a lead on a quality cheese grater? For home use. We’ve started naming some things over the last few years that requires us to grate cheese and I’ve already gone thru two of them. Damn things break on me. And it clogs up. She gets pampered chef stuff thru a friend but I’m ready to spend decent money.

They should rename it Ashli Babitt FAFO day.

That’s a good point. It very well could be. I retract what I said.

These fake cowboys out playing with their guns pretending to be a militia wouldn’t last. I bet they can’t run 1/4 mile without hyperventilating. They can’t be bothered to get off their couch because Judge Judy is on.

things will always be "normal" when the GOP wins. When the Dems win we will get chaos as people like Pence and Romney, who still adhere to the old ways of dignity, get pushed out of the party for the kooks who run things today. People who enjoy the kooks are kooks themselves who probably walk around in **** stained underwear and haven't seen a dentist in 23 years and haven't had 'consensual sex' since they raised the age of consent in their state from 14 years old.

The VP is enthusiastically performing her role to a member of the opposting party with grace and dignity and excitement. You want a striking display of differences between the two parties? You got it here. And you'll get it later today when they certify the results without incident.

give him a break.... his religion probably forbids it.

Racist old man afraid of black woman.

Minor nitpick, you have the Wings behind a year in the 86-87. They made the Campbell finals in 87, then again in 88 in the Goose Loonies series. 87 was the year they came back from 3-1 against Toronto in one of my favorite playoff experiences ever.
