CoronitaParticipantConvenient how no Canadian will ever get stopped crossing a state border in the u.s., even if they happened to enter illegally.
Well, at least not the light skinned colored ones.
CoronitaParticipantAfter reading this thread again, I am convinced once people get above a certain age like 50ish+, some people exhibit having a few screws loose and could arguably be qualified as certified nuts.
Old age probably brings out the wacko conservatism in people. Not all conservatism is bad. But some of this stuff is just way out in bumpkinville, along the lines of lizards and too many walls. Just saying.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=Dukehorn]When bearishgurl speaks, I think of this:
As a lifelong citizen of the US I am beyond embarrassed by the protesters out in force against our good governor, George Wallace. In my travels across the country, people have always said that the good people of Alabama are very genteel and kind, and what has happened these past few weeks makes our state look so chaotic and ill-served especially trying to negotiate pass those Negros out on the streets disturbing the peace with their anti-segregation talk. WTF? Why a black woman going to white school. What is the world coming to?
This whole sordid mess plays into what Wallace was saying “In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”!! That’s the truth!!
Black, Muslims and Hispanics need to understand the message and accept it peacefully. Good lord, disturbing the peace and forcing our policemen to actually use their dogs. Poor things… It’s all so disgusting.
And “good riddance” to those other folks who think otherwise I hope they die in an earthquake or during the end of times.. Bunch of crazy hippies and liberals. Now we have to spend tax dollars to control these heathens and minorities. It is utterly ridiculous.” Stupid healthcare. Utterly ridiculous. Food stamps. Utterly ridiculous. This country’s gone to @#$@, only white people who contribute should vote.[/quote]Ummm, Dukehorn, your “creative” rant here has absolutely nothing to do with what I said in my post. It is quite telling though about YOU and YOUR mindset … the way you slanted it.
Why don’t you consider getting out on the road this summer and “exploring this great country of ours?” You might learn a few things in the process.[/quote]
He could, but with Trump as president, chances are, they’ll ask to see his papers. Because he’s not white.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=The-Shoveler]Going to take beyond 2019 I think to get all those replaced. I think they will need an extension.
They should just offer owners a sweet deal for a trade in IMO.[/quote]BMW is
CoronitaParticipantSpeaking of getting rid of fat. Besides liposuction, there’s something else called coolsculpting.
Basically, they freeze a portion of where your fat is. The freeze kills the fat cells and supposedly leaves your skin and other tissue intact. When your fat cells die, your body flushes it out… Scientists discovered this from observing why kids cheeks get puckered after eating a really cold popsicle. Seriously.
From a science perspective, the concept is pretty interesting.

CoronitaParticipantHey I just timed myself on the normal 5k route I run. Before my average mile was 8:06 each mile back at the end of last year.
I am currently at 7:35.
I would love to run a 7:05.
CoronitaParticipantWeight loss also has huge benefits to your joints and feet. I use to have really bad joint and feet pain. Now it’s gone. Not carrying around an extra 25 lbs helps a lot.
Start small and aim for small goals you know you can stick to. If you don’t have the discipline to do it yourself, find someone that will hold you accountable to it, just like any other project.
You’ll be happy you did. I am so cheap I had to drill new holes in my old belts that I refuse to give up.
CoronitaParticipantSince last August (when I switched my employer), I’ve focusing more time to taking care of my health, and initially it was not easy to motivate after being more or less idle for the prior 12-14 years. Today, I run about 3 miles each day, and do about 1/2 hours weights every other day at home. I’v never exercised as much as I do today, even when as far back as high school.
It hasn’t been easy to get into this routine, particularly in the first 2-3 months. Part of what helped was peer pressure at work, being surrounded by many late 20ies to early 30ies that are extremely fit and active. I won’t give you advice on what you should do, but I’ll tell you what I did. I threw money at the problem for the first 2-3 months and got myself a personal trainer 2-3 times a week for the first two months, so that she would kick the crap out of me and make me stick to a routine, no matter how busy I said I was. Also,, spending good money on it, I took it more serious. After about 2 months, I got into my routine, and I haven’ looked back.
My goal was not weight loss, but to build up my cardio, to be able to run a reasonable distance, and to get toned up. Weight loss was a side benefit. I’m about 25 lbs less than I was in August of last year, and most of my pants are way too big now, and I had to change some of my belts because they were too big. I’m wearig pants back when I had them since my college freshman year.
I found out that once I started to get into this routine, surprisingly I felt less hungry, and don’t eat as much. Diet is a very important thing. I wouldn’t do a crash diet since those don’t work. But you should consider eating healthier, and eatting less for dinner (for example).
No soda, no beer, no cakes, no sugar, no high carb foods.
I haven’t had any problems maintaining my weight. My biggest problem is i trying to undo years of neglect around my abdomen.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=FlyerInHi]Flu, I think you’re saying that “no cost” loans are better because they allow you to refinance again and again, guilt free (loss avoidance. You’re not “throwing away” out of pocket fees. That’s the marketing angle.
But past is past. Make decisions based on what you know today.[/quote]
In response to the italicized portion, maybe so. But a person who is a “serial refinancer” is still starting over again at 30 years every single time they refinance … that is, unless they choose a 15-year loan (with much higher payments). However, the vast majority of refinancers do so for the express purpose of lowering their monthly payments (thereby increasing monthly cash flow).[/quote]
God, I am not saying no cost loans are always better. I am saying it depends on your situation which depends heavily on whether you want/can pay more up front or want to pay over the long term, and use more of your upfront cash for something else.
Sheesh.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=FlyerInHi]flu, maybe you’re making things too complicated.
The decision to refinance is separate from the loan product your want to select. Decide if refinancing makes sense, then select from alternative products.
All the talk of “no cost” is just salesmanship and confuse things.
Rates kept on moving down. The right decision from the beginning was to go adjustable.[/quote]
No briansd, you are making this thread more complicated by interjecting into this thread without following the entire thread. But that ok, I don’t mind.
