ParticipantA great article that should be read by any Piggs with teenagers.
We had a dot-com bubble, a housing bubble, and will next see a higher-ed bubble unfold.
Colleges and universities can no longer hide their inefficiencies, their lack of accountability, and their administrative bloat.August 12, 2011 at 4:29 PM in reply to: OT — Article: “10 Reasons to Skip Expensive Colleges” #719402ParticipantA great article that should be read by any Piggs with teenagers.

For the sound insulation alone I’d go with dual glazed. You are right about dual glazed not helping much on heating and AC costs in a beach area. And Low-E adds very little to the cost. I’d avoid wood anything in a beach area, as you have already discovered–will not last.ParticipantIt is almost impossible to find single pane windows or doors any more.

This is disguising the true long term cost of our growing indebtedness. Servicing costs are part of our annual expenses, and low interest rates serve to keep our current deficit lower than it would normally be. If interest rates simply return to the average of the past ten years, our debt service costs will soar.
Add to this the fact that Treasury is loading up on short term debt (lower interest rates) instead of issuing longer term instruments, and we have one more example of short term expediency.ParticipantI hope you are not taking comfort in the fact that the government’s servicing costs on our debt is low because of (temporarily?) low interest rates.

It takes way too long to heat up for baking…about 25 minutes. Our frig. is also GE and very unsatisfactory. Too bad GE is so ubiquitous–we have never had good luck with GE products.
