howard 12-2 Carwash 12-2 I guessed sign language. Was born in '78; in my very young years I caught the tail end of the CB craze. I remember everyone making a point to mention that their vehicle had a CB in it. Still boggles my mind how that was such a big deal. People must have been really, really h...

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like there's an epidemic of people beginning non-affirmative responses with "Yeah." Me: Is Project ABC done yet? Them: Yeaaaaaahhhhhh ...[5 minutes of bullshitting]...so, no, it's not done yet. Also, just as a general statement-starter. Every prompt to spea...

So much for the enterprising little guy sticking it to the man.

Guessed right, but wanted to point out that the clue above should read 300 years, not 200. Pretty crucial hint.

Johnny Carwash

Thanks for the advice here. Sounds like I should definitely drop the PMI right away.

On the refinance, I did that a couple years ago and got a good drop in the monthly payment. I still get offers from the bank to do it again, but not sure how wise it is to do another one so soon.

So I got a notice from the bank that I now have enough equity in my home to drop the PMI, which would knock $100 or so off my monthly payment. Is there any good reason *not* to do this?

Johnny Carwash

Shit, forgot about this for a couple days. Is it permitted to "catch up" for multiple days, as long as I haven't looked at the answers?

Johnny Carwash

I spent a solid several seconds thinking you had a pet mouse, and wondering how you extracted the contents of that picture from it.

Just curious, given his frequency in movies and popular inclinations, would George Gershwin have been considered a correct or incorrect answer? How about Aaron Copland? Copland definitely yes. Gershwin is kind of borderline because of his crossover with popular/jazz, but is generally lumped under c...
