  1. I think that's what he's decided to do. He's already home, but his 2 roommates will still be there until Friday. He has to count on them to not turn the heat off! nothing says "we are not home" like shutting everything off. we have timers for lights and radio when we leave. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  2. we live at 3000 feet, it freezes alot in the winter. we are also brokers, and are dealing with hundreds of vacant homes (repos), and I winterize homes....so....this is what I have been told to do. Shut off water. Place zip tie and label on valve warning not to turn back on. Shut off power source to water heater (gas or elec) and label the water heater as to not be turned back on until filled. Drain water heater. Drain all water from pipes by opening valves AND blowing air with a compressor through pipes. Leave valves open. Place non hazardous antifreeze in all traps, dishwasher, and laundry. If power is on, set thermostat to 50. If power is off, thermostat/heater is off. Place labels to warn that house has been winterized. but, this also serves as a sign saying "hi bad guys, this house is empty, come on in and take the light fixtures, appliances, door hardware, electrical wiring, and anything else you need to sell for crack." ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

    when i worked a marketing gig for Starbucks, their goal was to be the most recognized symbol (logo) in the world, they were going after Nike. They did not care if people thought of coffee or not, they wanted pure "branding." I would suspect the goal of this is to have someone say "skydiving rig" to anyone, and have the other person say "Mirage." This add campaign is brilliant, and with all advertising, there will be complainers. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  5. bikramyoga.com to find a studio nearby. my wife became an instructor, and we have a hot yoga room in our home. it is tough yoga, and actually build muscles. the 105F heat prevents injury and allows deeper stretching. this is not a "lets forcus on the white ball of light" type of yoga...its actually a work out. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  7. i have many trees that need trimming every year, and i use a chain saw. last year that resulted in a trip to the ER for 30 stitches, but at least my hand is still attached.
  8. Quick explanation~ Kids use to go outside and play with Hot Wheels and imagine they were driving them around. Kids now sit on the couch and play with pictures of Hot Wheels...and imagine they were driving them around. sad but true. but today i went out and fly my airplane over somebody "playing" with and RC one, and sang "Nah Nah Na nahh nahh" ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  11. "We are $200,000 upside down since we refied and bought my car, your big 4x4, and the boat...do you think we should let the bank have it and foreclose?" ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  12. here is a pic of what i fly. there are part 103 trikes, but i have never seen one with a 582. my trike is the E-LSA designation, which allows a passenger, flying over congested areas. the air cooled 503 is a good motor as well. my friends trike had one, then he changed to the 582. no real difference in cruise speed, but the climb rate did increase. i like the idea of the air cooled motors, one less system to check and maintain. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  13. what kind of motor? i fly a weight shift (trike) with a rotax 582, love that motor.

  15. yep, i hear ya...just up the hill from you...sucks here too http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1061&bih=591&q=weather+92345&aq=f&aqi=g10j1&aql=f&oq=&gs_rfai=CNWtsB5rkTPaGM5PIM4Sc4OgBAAAAqgQFT9AkQGA ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  16. with the world going through economic times such as now, i cant fucking believe we actually give a shit about that crap. hell, its worse than lindsay lohan. at least she actually worked for a bit of her money. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  17. "1. Put a good chunk of the tax refund that will be showing up in a few weeks in a savings account. About $1000.00. This is my emergency fund, for kitties or anything else. " this just happens to be step 1 of Dave Ramsey's "baby steps" to financial peace. maybe you should check it out. we have spent thousands to care for our dogs, (boxers) but i will never buy insurance. mark my words, when the insurance people get into an area of business, this ultimately leads to higher prices. we are doing it to ourselves...again. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  23. Sure and 100% of divorces started with a marriage. I'm with you, number don't mean anything, including karat count. Love counts, but commitment counts because times get tough sometimes. The commitment will get you through the tough times so you can remember that you absolutely do love each other. Couldn't have said it much better.

  25. by the way....every industry that insurance has gotten their teeth into has increased their prices. mark my words. in ten years if the pet insurance really takes off, watch what happens to vet costs. now back to the subject. would i buy insurance for a rock? no. because i...we, ...do not buy silly rocks. we buy houses, which allow us to spend more time together, jumping from planes, not starring and ooooing at a silly, insured, rock.
