ParticipantWhat the heck is “moral cleanliness”?
ParticipantMayweather won easily – was never threatened not even once. Also readily apparent was that Mayweather was the physically larger, stronger fighter.
Participant[quote=flu][quote=Blogstar]I always wondered why so many Christians go on and get rich. I was so scared that I’d never get to heaven if I made any money. Now I realize that the people preaching that were hoarding it all. And now, it really wasn’t supposed to be that the meek should inherit the earth….proven that G-d meant geeks. So many people so desperate to be meek and poor all these years when the should have been dabbling in semi conductors.[/quote]
Come on now.. Ministers need their $60million private jets! Afterall, flying first class is just not good enough!
http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/13/living/creflo-dollar-jet-feat/
Minister Creflo Dollar asks for $60 million in donations for a new jet
Ironic that the Gulfstream he wants is $65million, so if he’s only asking for $60, I’m assuming there’s already $5million in donations he’s counting on….Lol…$65 million is a lot of money that could help the poor and need. But hey, a jet is a “need”…Helping poor/unfortunate people is a “want”. God might be perfect, people and there churches sure aren’t.[/quote]
Those prosperity theologists believe wealth is a blessing from God . One can only imagine how they feel about the one percenters.
ParticipantGiven that we piggs like to..ahem.. hedge our household budgets, TTEK or other water plays anyone?

Really it’s not a good as they make it out to be.
SD is in much better shape.[/quote]I’m actually not trying to say Austin is better. However, I know that Bay Area is better in term of job creation and job availability. I would like to start a discussion to see what we can do to become more like bay area in term of job creation. Is there anything we can do?[/quote]
While we’re at it, let’s do something about the sunshine tax : (
I think your wife is an RN? The Northern Cali Kaiser RN’s scored a 14% raise over 3 years in the latest contract.ParticipantAre they still offering those 0% 18 month balance transfer
credit cards? When we had a revolving debt/car loan we rolled everything over into 2 or 3 of those and paid things off without paying any interest at all – just be sure to roll it over to another 0% card or pay it off 2 months or so before introductory period is over.March 13, 2015 at 11:11 AM in reply to: The cost of an Ivy League undergrad degree next year…. #783581Participant[quote=flyer]Our kids attended “Ivies” for a variety of reasons, and the grandparents picked up the tab by choice. It’s worked out well for them, and seems to have made a huge difference in their careers and lives. Is the investment worth the price?–some say yes–others, no.
Everyone wants different things in life, and, imo, as long as your kids achieve their goals–that’s what really matters–regardless of how they get there.[/quote]
If my kids were accepted to an ivy and I didn’t send them I would always have that “what if” stuck in my head.
ParticipantNot worth getting together with other parents and donating one to my son’s middle school then?
Participant[quote=spdrun]Shame. A couple within walking distance of me and they’re good for quick and dirty parts for projects when you don’t want to fucking wait two fucking days for Amazon or DigiKey ordering. Blame it on millennial twitter-twits who are too scaredy catted to get their hands dirty — yes to programming, but zOMG you might inhale some HEAVY METALS if you SOLDER![/quote]
For some reason I love the smell of solder and fresh asphalt.
ParticipantThis is sad – if Ace hardware can still hang around, why couldn’t Radio Shack? Guess they could never hire the right leadership…
ParticipantEvery situation is different, but I have not and don’t plan to raise rent on our 5 year tenants in our 4 bedroom sfr. The are an older couple who take great care of the place and if they left, may have to settle for a family w/ kids who draw on walls and scratch floors and such. The condos… I am thinking about raising after not raising for 3 years but I am lucky to have great tenants there also- dilemma dilemma. Your 3% increase after 3 years sounds reasonable though imo.
I am against yearly raises because if I were a tenant and it was known that rents would rise every year I would be constantly looking for another place even if increases were just a token amount. The annual increases give off bad vibes and makes it feel like you are power tripping or something.Participantpeak oil- ha! and I almost paid the premium price for a diesel/hybrid vehicle last year.
ParticipantPersonal bias: less than stellar= far flung. My bad.
Participant[quote=flu]Told ya this would happen…eventually
3% Down from Fannie and Freddie!!!
When strong buyers have been exhausted, the strategy is obviously to make more loans more readily available to everyone else. So they can pick up where strong buyers left off.
My prediction? In some of the less than stellar areas..Get ready for the next run up in prices. More buyers in the buyer pool.. Hope you folks have a lot of cheap real estate you picked up over the past few years….Enjoy the ride.. đŸ™‚
Don’t worry.. I’m sure subprime lending will be coming back in the future at some point too.[/quote]
Less than stellar areas are going to be helped a lot by lower gasoline prices also.
