Here’s a good start- when having a baby start making decisions without asking anybody but your wife, if she does not know what to do, you make the decision. I vote that you are crazy.

I’m the type who will always turn off the light when leaving a hotel room.
[/quote]OT,
When my son was young and he finished doing his chores he would say “Dad, I finished ..mowing the lawn, taking out the trash…etc.” I would look at him and say “What do you want some accolades?” We still use it as a joke to each other when some dumb thing comes up, “just looking for some accolades”
OK B-ri here are you accolades for turning out the hotel light………..
desmondParticipantI would do it but you need to post it 3 times…
desmondParticipantflu, so you’re telling me there’s a chance to plant bermuda!

desmondParticipantFirst of all fescue is not for any shade. It will get thin and look horible. For fescue to be healthy it needs lots of sun and lots of water and absolutely no dogs, they will burn it with a drop of piss and it will not grow back. It does not wear well either with a lot of use. Bermuda sucks, to hard to maintain. Look how much work goes into a golf green to make that look good. You can look at bermuda grass the wrong way and it will die. I would recommend St. Agustine (Buffalo Grass), tough, does not need constant fertilzer like fescue to stay green. All grass types take work, lots of work to make them look good and to keep healthy. I loved working with my grass when I was a homeowner (renting now), had both fescue and St. Aug,but I will never own a home with grass again.
desmondParticipantBringing home the bacon is also termed a “slump buster”.

Don’t forget the renters, you left out the renters……the lowlife renters………..
desmondParticipantI copied this on NFC (I did not know what it was)
“I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t. NFC is pretty much a “me too” thing, meaning that you need it to be competitive. Payment with NFC (Near Field Communication) is going to be huge. It remains to be seen how the cake is going to be divided among players, but I like NXPI’s position, since you certainly need the smartphone hardware.
Right now, we use conventional debit/credit cards with a magnetic strip. There are also “smartcards” that have an RFID chip on them allow the card to be updated, that is, the prepaid balance reduced. Nothing, however, surpasses the convenience of having all your debit, credit, and prepaid cards on your smartphone. Plus the many other uses NFC could have, such as bus/subway passes, school attendance apps, parking, food stamps, and general ID.
Smartphones (and perhaps smartphone-like devices with telephony as an application) will dominate our lives in a few years in a way we can only imagine now. Digimarc has developed software that allows smartphones to “see and hear”, INVN has developed motion-sensitive hardware, GLUU has “freemium” smartphone games, and everyone you can name is developing ways to buy instantly on your smartphone. MITEK has software that allows you to deposit checks with your smartphone.
The mind boggles. We are early in the adoption stage, but it will be a freight train”
desmondParticipant[quote=flu]NXPI..
If there’s any type of correction back down $20/share … (Kicking myself right now, because it was $19.50 a 3 weeks ago).
Pretty big player NFC market right now…If you dont know what NFC, never mind.
If you believe in mobile payments taking off, and/or seemless media integration, me thinks they are currently the game in town (at least for now).
Also…pull this idea out of my ass, with a small $6billion pricetag, I’d say also potential acquisition target by a bigger company.

desmondParticipantflu,
saw this on a fb board, is it correct?“All FB employees that had vested RSUs will have to pay taxes on a $38 dollar gain based on the IPO price. They will be taxed at ordinary income levels, which means 45% (state and federal)
Stock price below $19 means that they have to sell ALL their shares to pay the taxes. That is mandatory.
On November 2012, when lockout is removed, you will have employees owing more in taxes than their shares are worth. FB will have to compensate them in some way. This will get very ugly”
