  1. starting to feel better about myself after reading that.
  2. well, i like to listen to Dave Ramsey. and he recomends http://www.zanderins.com/term/termlife.aspx we have used an his "endorsed local providers" for medical and roth investing. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  3. well, he is from Jersey. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  4. no shit, when we got married at Deland, there was a cold front, 50F on the ground. a fleece, and beer was all i needed in the tent. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  5. hmmm, all my tenants have car payments, and we dont, and never have. gee, wonder why we own the houses they rent. car payments are for suckers. pay cash. yet some do drive newer cars then us (we have 250,000 miles on our year 2000 jeep).... but, the borrower is always slave to the lender. its all a matter of choices. i choose to owe no one. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  6. +1. never bring anything into a tent that cant burn, melt, or other wise emit a toxic gas. i know they say not to, but i have slept on top of an electric blanket too, nice and toasty. i always wondered why i could put an electric heating pad under me, but not an electric blanket. then again, it is florida, will you really need all that? ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  7. yep, last house i built i had to bring up the elevation 12 feet on one side of the pad. compaction tests every 2 feet had to be at least 95%. i remember back in college in my soils class doing the sand cone tests, fun stuff! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  8. when i see pics like that second one, i wonder, how are we ever going to make it? i mean, make it a better world. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  9. time to drain the pool down, again. it came up at least 3 inches over night, which is alot for the high desert. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  10. been under flash flood warnings up here in the high desert...even had the KTLA news chopper up here showing the Mojave river which is flowing strong. other than that, just some flooded intersections in town. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  11. (((buzzer!))) ....(walks away) ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  12. classic. but have to say, my wife had a total malfunction on jump 6, and remembered where the handle was, so does that make her a total fucking badass? ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  13. we are brokers. and, own investment properties. walk away from this one. they probably took cash out of the last property, or are doing some "dealing." when we do a deal like that, its all cash up front, in total, then the property is ours or theirs, and the deal is done, and title is clean. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  14. I am with you, please no more "things" I have to keep track of. That is, unless I can bolt it to my aircraft or jump out of a airplane with it. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  21. Curling up under a down comforter with a hooker is pretty damn efficient but I'm sure the cost would be higher. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  22. I said "advanced", and forced air is more advanced than radiant heat, and in some cases likely more efficient as well, depending on the system and space to be heated. But then maybe 'new age' is a better way to put it. At the very least, a forced air system is more effective in heating a room faster than a radiant heat system. placing a fan in the system, and burning gas, (less efficent than radiant heat) is more "advanced?" Yes, it heats faster, but consumes more energy, ie...BTUs (british thermal units). radiant heat is slow, but more efficient and more comfortable once room is to temp. I have both in my home, a FAU (forced air unit) and radiant (wood stove)... wood stove waaaaaaay more comfortable. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  23. hey bill, make sure they understand the difference between "efficient" and "cost." ie., cheaper does not mean more efficient. many people actually think that a gas water heater is more efficient than electrical, simply because in many areas, the "cost" is less. but then again, our education system does not seem to teach many this idea. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  24. she already calls me "squirrel"
  25. Are you saying there's something more advanced than central air and digital thermostats? i heat with wood...old school. no worries about power outages, ever.
