1 semester down, 5 to go. My great friends. My understanding wife. The cat that plays fetch more than the dog. Yep, it's a great time to be alive.

I use it for transfering files ahead of myself when I want to be on site at the campus for installs, but don't want to bring my laptop with me. I delete, a lot. I usually have about half to 3/4ths of my inbox filled with personal use files. I need to delete just to add a file for school. Handy? Yes! Never delete? I do. It's your life, live it!

I guess that means it won't be 'lost in freefall, huh? Sure, buy a rig dyed in black/grey camo! (Have to do a great deal of solos though, nobody would be able to find you.

Yea, I take issue with that hat. It represents the overpriced end of that sport. It's like not buying a Dolphin 'cause it doesn't cost enough. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

I used to love The Glenlivets. That is, until Don Kirlin introduced me to Dalwhinnie. Now I prefer that or a Glenfiddich. Nice taste in spirits though man!

I've been skiing since I was 5, medaled in X-country at age 7, started downhilling at 9, and pretty much gave it all up at ~20. It's been 14 years, and I've really been toying with the idea of season lift passes on this little knob of a hill local, called Nordic Mountain. I really want to get back on the hill, and try boarding, but have no idea how I would pay for a board (rental or buy) if I managed to get the cash for the season passes (I'd have to get family passes) and lessons (ditto on the family plan). Some days it does suck to be a poor college student. (1 speech left and the first 17 credits are OVER!) Be happy you people are able to spend that kind of time with your families out and about, ragardless of how well you did. It's your life, live it!

Financial planning help... what is better to pay?
RevJim replied to SkydiveNFlorida's topic in The Bonfire
Not exact advise in your case, but more general type stuff... Make minimum payments on everything, but pick one (that 30 year one sounds like a good starting point), and pay massivly on it, until it's paid off. Don't make the mistake a great deal of people make, the one where you pay a little extra on every loan and card. No no no no no no! By paying all at a minimum and one heavily, you'll see progress, and will quicky be able to close one out entirely. When that happens, go on to the next one and repeat this. Really. It works.

The unions in the government's eye have been replaced by countless watchdog groups. Yes, the unions fought for those things you state, but since they were won (turned into law) the unions themselves have turned into gluttonus pigs, feeding off the very workers and consumers they are supposedly out to 'help'. The unions were a good thing, and they did their part. They are an unnecessary wage inflater now. There are laws in place to protect the common worker now, laws that were fought for by the unions. We (thankfully) are past that point in our history. I think it's about time the rich stopped getting richer, the poor stopped getting poorer, and the goods that used to be commonplace be priced back into purchase viability of the middle class American. Bye bye, unions, as far as I am concerned. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Honda is a good example. Another is Kia. Despite the problems Jen has had with brakes (If I remember right), they are actually a pretty damned solid car. I know, I worked for the primary hauler distributing them from the ports to the dealers (The Waggonners Trucking, the largest NON-UNION car hauler in the Unites States). A deal up here recently was buy a Kia Sedona (their mini van) and get a Kia Rio (Civic type sedan) for free. No shit. The 7 pasenger vans, in the sale trim, were going for ~25 grand. A mini van and a car for 25 grand? With what is actually a pretty damned good warranty (minus the brakes)? I love being American. It means I can choose. I chose by price, which just might mean a South Korean car next time. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

I'll not start a war here, as I fully admit the unions gained us many of the items you state. The problem? Those items are now LAW, and the union's main purpose now it to drive inflation. How much would a new Ford/Dodge/Chevy truck cost today if the factories were no longer strong armed by the UAW? Another one: A very good friend of mine is a union welder, on a pipe crew, with his own equipment, in his own truck. He drives it to the job sites daily, but once he punches in, he's not allowed to drive it. It's a union jobsite, so a teamster does the driving. Yea, if that's what you call it. Start Truck, pull forward 20 feet, shut off truck, read book for an hour, start truck, pull forward 20 feet, shut off truck, read book, repeat for 10 hours @ $30 an hour.

Other. Anything with the prefix PSYC. I'm an Elementary Education major and had a Psychology minor. I found that I loved the Psych part so much I made it a double major. I still want to teach, but my long term goal has slipped a bit from permanent k-2 teacher to school psychologist. I'll teach while putting myself through a crap load of grad school stuff. (I didn't know until I started the double major that the only way to become a Psychologist is with a PhD. Ouch.) It's your life, live it!
