Oh, what I meant is that a mother has an agenda. Usually to "make things right" with her kids. But as was the case with my wife and her brother, merely doing that meant taking sides. Along the lines of, "I know he treats you and everyone like shit, but you should forgive him." S...

This close to just completely cutting my parents out of my life. They care not at all about my family, so why should I even keep up the pretense? Not to mention my mom sounds like the stupidest version of a Trump voter ever on Facebook and it's embarrassing. Not an argument for or against, but at t...

There's also the Jabrill Peppers "failed piss test" nonsense going on. He's basically ultra hydrated to the point that be pissed a sample that cannot be properly tested. It's diluted. But because it isn't a passing test, it's talked as though it's a failure. So now his draft stock is tumb...

I have stayed with fat client Quicken. My buddy who works at Intuit tells me I am fool not to be using Mint, but just like the control that quicken gives me. That being said I loved Microsoft Money and was pissed when they stopped creating it. This. Money was so much better than Quicken. Stuck with...

Only way we have a chance of winning that game is if we are spotted 30 points. Maybe 40.

somewhat off topic, but.... I don't want to say morale is low around work, but with two floors full of cubes, the winner of the Halloween contest was the only guy that decorated.

You seem pretty set on the Mazda so that's fine, but one man's opinion -- I have several friends and family members who have the Ford Escape that's built on the same platform and which should be similarly priced and they all love it. For whatever reason, my anecdotal experience with people who've h...

Wow Giff... I have my own issues with my sister (like not going to her wedding type issues), but that's pretty special. That's something I've definitely learned over the last couple of years - having that kind of negativity in your life just isn't worth it. I had someone mention once about their sib...

With Lyle Sendlein's impending retirement, it's time to add some stability at the center position. The Arizona Cardinals select Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama.

Was browsing twitter while eating breakfast this morning. I still follow an AZ news site, partially out of interest, partially out of laziness in unfollowing the account.

Have you tried a sink plunger? http://www.homedepot.com/p/PlumbCraft-M ... /202192845

Very cheap option that is worth a shot. I've used one a couple of times on a clogged disposal, worked wonders.

Grew up in Indiana, so I was very familiar with the commercials. I went with a friend's family to the Grand Canyon in the early 90s and saw a commercial for them while we were staying at the Best Western there. I guess it's an interesting target demographic, but can't imagine that advertising paid ...

No, they don't let you out of the lease if you move. Either the new buyer takes it over or you continue to pay it. There may have been an option to buy out the lease but I don't remember for certain. In our experience, people not interested in having the lease wouldn't bother putting an offer down i...

We had a really good experience with Solar City a few years ago. The plan we signed up for was a 20 yr lease, fixed price for the entire term. We saved, after the lease payment, probably $40/month. But since it was a fixed price and electricity prices aren't, we figured we'd end up saving more over ...

Just finished Orphan Black - season 3. Definitely a show that requires paying a lot of attention (and even then it's hard to keep up with some plot points), but overall a pretty good season. But more than anything, Tatiana Maslany is just incredible. She plays anywhere from 4 to 7 different charact...

Yeah, putting that much into everything up front may not be for everyone. But I'm not too concerned about hardware upgrades. Getting new hardware (either for an upgrade or failure) from DirecTV always came with strings (new contract, higher prices/fees), so I really don't see this as being any diffe...
