    Who wants to be the first ?

    no. You don't get such creature comforts without giving up something valuable. And I am not talking about money.

    Pickup Lines

    I was in Bangkok one time and a fellow I was with kept getting the middle finger from a gal across the bar. It took a while for us to figure out that it meant something different to Thai women than it does to Americans. Yeah, she picked him up by flipping him the bird.

    How far do you think the dow will drop during 1st 1/2 of 2018

    It's been an absolute bloodbath in the oil producer's stocks the past several days. All without much of a word as to why. Usually there's quite a bit of banter about either bullish or bearish indicators, not so much this time around. Actually, most indicators have remained bullish.

    Pickup tires

    I had a set of the Long Trail tires on a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer of my ex's. Those things went for over 85K miles before I had them replaced due to weather checking. Mileage wise they could have went another 15-20, it was ridiculous! This was back in the early 200s and I know they've changed...

    So have you ever had to grit your teeth while muttering "excuse me officer, but..."? Heh heh heh

    PROPERTY TAX - Must Read

    Bada bing! You have hit the nail on the head there. Property taxes are not the root of the evil, it is the budgets for the respective city/county departments that drive the property tax. This is what so many people don't actually get. To end up with lower property taxes for all, show up at...

    Drunk sleder~

    Umm, not to make fun of your intellect here, but can you highlight where any of the above people (myself included) have ever suggested it was OK to drive drunk, or otherwise impaired? You are the only one on this thread suggesting that it's OK to drive while not in full control of your vehicle...

    Body work, for vehicles you chumps!

    The two offending paint defects. No holes, that I am sure of. The paint seemed to me to be defective from the factory in that it split/cracked when the truck was about 4 years old. Yeah...I know, I was just pissed when it happened for seemingly no reason. But hey, it's not "rusted through"...

    Standing Desks

    We have a couple users of the Vari-Desk style like shown, they are good for up to a couple monitors. But our community work stations have 5 monitors and a couple keyboards. So they are either electrically raised and lowered, or they are static. I tend to use the static one. Mostly because...

    PROPERTY TAX - Must Read

    Interesting, in my limited experience, the assessed rate always seems to be about 80% of market rate.

    PROPERTY TAX - Must Read

    Silly question here, but who among us would sell our places for what they are assessed?

    It would appear that this has been more of a jury trial than a judge's decision. Granted, I think the deck was stacked against ya in that I suspect you are not, in any form, my peer.

    Body work, for vehicles you chumps!

    Yeah, I just didn't want to tip over when they gave me numbers as back in the day I would have guessed around $500-600 (like I said, it's been a while since I've had work done). And while I've been tossing around getting it fixed for a while, I just put this up as a whim when the thought hit me...

    Body work, for vehicles you chumps!

    I'm driving the wrong vehicle to snap pics of them today, but yes...one is on driver's side and the other is on the passenger. I suspect that it will snowball rapidly in price if the whole box has to be sprayed. It's got the chrome wheel well beauty rings, and every time I've ever seen one of...

    It's not that you "threaten" booze, you just come across as an idiotic douche with a clouded (smokey) sense of what's appropriate.

    Standing Desks

    LOL, I saw some treadmill workstations when I visited Tuscaloosa a couple years ago. The new trend in office space is really strange compared to what we "grew up with". Treadmills with laptops, work areas that looked like the coffee shop on Friends, etc, etc. Weird... - - - Updated - - - Oh...

    Body work, for vehicles you chumps!

    I have a pickup that has two small (1-3 inch) spots on the box that the paint has bubbled off. I was curious about rough estimates for getting something like that touched up, does it require the whole box to be re-sprayed, and if so what I should be expecting for financial hits. Ford seems to...

    Standing Desks

    We have a couple standing workstations in the office, they tend to be well used by our rotating shift workers. My full-time desk is normal height, but there are days I'll spend at one of the standing stations and while I'm not as excited about them as some are...I don't mind them either. It's...
