Done, got myself Jan 2024 NAIL call.[/quote]Im in also! BTW aimloan has 30 year at 4.375% with a 1/4 point rebate. Rates down this week a tad[/quote]
Aimloan was my cheapest quote last year. I thought they were excellent for service
ParticipantOdometers just about to turn over 10k miles on the ebike.
Participant[quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]I view housecleaning as a form of exercise. Done with extreme speed, it is highly aerobic. My strategy over the years has been doing a lot of cleaning at high speed with fair to poor quality. I finish very quickly and do a ‘C” job. This irritates my wife and so, I broke down and will pay in the interest of matrimonial harmony. But let the record reflect that this was over my vigorous objection. Although it is nice how clean she gets the house. Not worth the money to me, but definitely to my wife. I go way too fast to get it that clean.
Also, doing the dishes can lead to enlightenment. See e.g. Mr natural does the dishes.
[/quote]lol an ongoing conversation in our house, over a series of years.
On any day when my sons or I do the dishes and put them away:
Wife: (pulling a dish from the cabinet) “You call THAT clean??” (picking off a tiny speck of something from some crevice)
Us: “Well, yeah….man clean”[/quote]
i try the “some bacteria is good for us and too clean can impair our immunity system” argument, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Participant[quote=sdrealtor][quote=The-Shoveler]Working from home most of the time, my wife yells at me to change my sweats at least once a week.[/quote]
At least you wear pants[/quote]
Do you recall the 2010 Superbowl commercial, I WEAR NO PANTS, from Dockers. Still makes me chuckle.
I still sing it to to myself when I’m walking around in my underwear.
ParticipantOk, I accept that. Although I do question how smart any of us are wearing wool suits in 100 plus temps
ParticipantOk, this is hilarious. The onion speaks the truth
ParticipantMegadebt. Band name, potential copyright infringement of megadeath
ParticipantMore like corporate/high end/ aspirers v. Others.
One of the best lawyers I’ve ever met, killing it financially in a super busy small firm he owned, dressed in kind of shabby sport coats, was part of a regular guy persona. Clients just loved this guy. Even I kinda liked him. Oversized chummy ex football player, just so genuinely happy and friendly. Made more money than alot of big firm lawyers. Very effective litigator. Depends on clientele.
If you’ve ever seen A MARRIAGE STORY on Netflix, I thought it was kind of beautiful how the successful wealthy guy goes downscale with divorce lawyers, winds up in old Alan aldas office who’s wearing Velcro shoes, looks like he came from a thrift store, cheesy office.
Good lawyer tho.
Everything about our appearance is masks and costumes. For substance though, perhaps look to Ralph waldo Emerson:
The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape.
ParticipantIroning dress shirts? $2 a day, $10 a week, $500 a year minus vacation, x 20 years, 10,000 plus interest/gains.
Can do a bunch while watching Netflix. Pretty easy to do a fair job, skip the back, covered by suit jacket.
Pays for a new car when your kid graduates college.
I don’t really like it but it’s pretty quick. As long as you do an A job on the collar and visible portion of front, and cuffs, you look fine in a suit. I own a lot of white dress shirts so I can do it when I’m moved to. I tried non iron shirts for a while, but too icky feeling. I use up the shirts till they’re frayed. Last many years in rotation. I may retire with excess shirt capacity. Or perhaps I should stop working when the last shirt disintegrates. A sign.
Buy almost all suits slightly used off eBay. Wear till they’re shiny and start to disintegrate.

ParticipantI paid .5 perc more for a jumbo 10 years ago. We still joke about how fucked we felt we were for having a jumbo loan. My wife was so happy when we refined out of a jumb.
Don’t like the word jumbo attached to a debt. Why not humongous? Gargantuan? Gifuckinormous? Couldn’t tptb just go with regular and large?
Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]You can get a law license through self study under a practitioner if you pass the bar, but would be hard.
I don’t know anyone who’s done it that way. Would have to be quite clever and motivated. Law school is dumb, but it does perk up the brain and work ethic.[/quote]
Anything is possible. But for most, most of it is improbable.[/quote]
Not sure anything is possible. Could one become a great athlete without coaching and competition? Might not be possible.

ParticipantMy 4.2 99th percentile sat 3d kid did not get into SDSU, where my older lesser grades kid did. Standards definitely rising. I love SDSU for at least giving one of my kids a quality cheap engineering degree. I think the 3d kid would’ve got into my ivy league alma mater, but not fucking SDSU. Bummer.
Going to be very happy to be done paying college tuition. Extremely proud that I was able to get 3 through with no debt. Would not have believed it would happen 20 years ago when I was broke with 150k in student loan debt myself.
(Pats self on back)
I always thought it was cheesy at graduations when the speaker would ask grads to turn around and give their folks a hand for all their support
But goshdarnit, now that I’m old, I feel like I deserve a round of applause.
(Claps for self).
