    So I open the computer the son was using and I’m at kissinggames.com. Clicked back one screen and he had typed kissing games on search and before that Angry Birds. He didn’t find Angry Birds so he said he remembered Spider Man and though of kissing games but he hadn’t clicked on anything. I clicked on Risky-motorcycle-Kissing game and said to wife, honey we should play this game! Probably not appropriate for the first grader. I guess that’s why Spider Man is rated PG-13.

    What exactly is the market for this site? Teenage girls? Why do I see Lysol and BMW ads here??

    This may have been posted elsewhere, but it’s worth repeating about pension spiking. TG has correctly stated that salaries and benefits of peace/corrections officers/fireman is tiny portion of budget, but it is wrong on principle (think Javert in Les Misérables) if there are massive budget problems and fair market value of comparable jobs, say nuclear workers or front line soldiers, is lower.

    Not to say that most aren’t tremendously loyal servants like Glenn Allen, the 61 year old L.A. firefighter with 36 years on the job who tragically died putting out a fire last month.

    “1 Billion DROP Salary Scandal: L.A. Cops, Firefighters Allowed to Double-Dip Into City Funds, Collect Pensions 5 Years Early”

    It would be great if everyone in comparable position could have a DROP program. Warning: watching the video may produce strong reactions.

    If you need new water heater, try the Rheem Professional series or the Bradford, they are the most reliable. They may cost few hundred more up front but will give peace of mind. We had put in Bradford (Cadillac of water heaters) in old place and it was great. In our current pad we have Rheem Pro and it has gone 7 years with no hassle. Get the one with highest R rating that will fit in your space. I believe they Rheem Pro and Bradford are only available to builders and independent installers not the retailers. I’ve found that HD and Lowes sell lower priced items.
