I actually worked on the class action lawsuit against Denny's (handling the claim forms). It was amazing that 98% of the claim forms had, word for word, the exact same experience.

So she lost? Cut her, get a new swimmer. /fan mentality Seriously though ,very cool!

That's the CYA mentality.

But they didn't pay off the couch. They still owed $10 on it...

I'm of the mindset that if you can't afford it, you shouldn't buy it. If you NEED something, buy one at a time. Pay off your couch before deciding you need toast. But I know I'm a minority in that mindset.

Have you seen these Fingerhut commercials? One came on when we were watching TV, and my wife said, "That commercial pisses me off!" Of course she blamed Fingerhut for marketing towards poor people, and I say people need personal responsibility but hey... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=634cv-rS5dg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMyV34VSAmA It ties into the comments here saying that poor people blow their money. The first one says, "We were poor and couldn't afford anything." At the end, the doorbell rings and the one says, "I hope it's my new espresso machine!"

He'd never come back for any position after the falling out he had with Wilson.

+1 I hate going to the doctor, and if the first one doesn't offer me anything useful, I'm not very likely to go to another. That said, this is good advice -- because like you noted, the eye doctor I went to showed concern, found me a specialist, and ultimately helped fix the problem for me, so... I apologize, I wasn't being fair with my initial commentary.

Has nothing to do with race either. I looked at getting a car when I was under 25 and living in south Minneapolis. The insurance rates were through the roof. Same age, same car, only living in a suburb instead, and the rates were MUCH cheaper. Last I checked, my race didn't change so couldn't have been a factor.

Sorry, I'm speaking from personal experience (so maybe the doctors I use just suck ). True story: I used to get pinkeye all the time - roughly 5-6 times a year. Nobody I knew ever had it or got it from me, but it'd never go away until I took antibiotic eyedrops. I'd go to the doctor every time (well, every time I ran out of drops ), and he had no clue what was going on. At one point he asked if I was a welder. I said I wasn't. He asked if I was around welding. I said I wasn't. He asked if I was sure I wasn't around any welding. WTF? Another time I had pain in my elbow. They looked it over and said nothing looked wrong, and that was it. No suggestions, no recommendations, no nothing. Just deal with it. Great. Just not very good experiences overall. Although with the eye thing, I went to an eye doctor instead (don't know why I didn't do that sooner), and she sent me to a corneal specialist who told me that the eye has not only a tear layer but an oil layer as well (who knew?), and that mine was really bad. His assumption was that without that layer protecting the eye, bacteria was able to grow quickly. He told me to take omega-3 fish oil pills. I was skeptical, but did it. Haven't had pink eye since. So I take it back, not ALL doctors suck. Just the general ones I go to. I guess I should stop doing that.

Doctor's never seem to have the answers unless it's something obvious.

Yeah, except credit scores have nothing to do with race, they have to do with actions.

Fine, how's this: http://www.neowin.ne...acintosh-botnet And this: http://www.neowin.ne...-than-flashback And this: http://www.neowin.ne...oft-in-security Heck, even Apple themselves changed their tune: http://www.neowin.ne...mune-to-viruses Better? (and I didn't write a single one of those articles - SHOCKING! )

Anyone read the comments on that site? They're almost all saying it wasn't an illegal hit. Wow...

Between Michael Turner, Reggie Bush, and Eric Decker, I got a combined TWO FREAK'N POINTS this week! /rant

Unfortunately I have to either use front-loading or get the ones that are pre-stacked (like in my original post) because our laundry area is simply a closet. I looked at the "all-in-one" devices that wash AND dry your clothes, but most people seem to say that they don't dry very well.

Check out the link I put in the original post. The washer/dryer are connected together and have one set of controls to control them both. If I had more room, I could probably just use the washer and ignore the dryer, but our laundry "room" is more like a closet and I have to stack the washer/dryer for them to fit.

Yeah, I'm not...

You keep telling yourself that.

I'm looking for opinions here. We currently have one of those washer/dryer stacks that came with our house when we built it. It's not the highest quality, but it gets the job done. It's now 12.5 years old and is something like this one: http://www.homedepot...la#.UJ_SioajodU Well this weekend, the drum in the dryer started making a terrible noise -- from my research, I think the ball bearings might have gone out and need to be replaced. I don't know how much that'll cost. We also had the heating element go out on it a year or two ago. So the question is do we repair this one, or just buy a new unit, keeping in mind that if we buy a new one, we have to buy a new washer AND dryer, and the washer would have to be front loading (or another "stack like we have I suppose...). I'm leaning towards buying new ones (better energy efficiency, less water use), but that's not a cheap proposition. Thoughts? And if we do buy new, any recommendations? I'm leaning towards LG, but Samsung is in the running as well.

No, he passed away in 2007. And he wasn't really old in the 70s -- he was born in 1931, so was less than 50 in the 70s!

Charles Nelson Reilly was a mighty man The kind of man you'd never disrespect! He stood eight foot tall, wore glasses, and had a nipple on the back of his neck.

Ok, so you admit that the "real" refs are biased? I don't think we have an argument then. The replacements didn't hate any one specific team - according to the media, they sucked across the board. (I disagree - a few questionable calls, sure, but it's just an outrage because they went against the supposed "star" teams).

That's funny, coming from a Pats* fan.

Not the point. The fact is the "stories" are what gets pushed by the league. The Saints win after Katrina? The Patriots* win after 9/11? The league needs a new poster boy at QB with Manning and Brady nearing retirement age, and are now pushing Luck. The replacement refs were impartial. I maintain that the "real" refs are not (and have been saying that for years). Pats* record with replacements: 1-2 Pats* record with "real" refs: 4-1 Packers record with replacements: 1-2 Packers record with "real" refs: 5-1 Odd, no?
