"I know why the caged cat purrs...."

Saw this in another thread and it was a nice format and one I haven't used before so I thought I'd steal it... Kept it to percentages because we're not gauche savages and improper/unpolite monsters... And I'm not a Foler alt... I'm interested in how others are balancing this stuff...

That's a nice chart method.. I think I'll steal it.

That's close to my layout... Chase Amazon for just about everything.. Chase Sapphire to back that up.. Capital One Venture One for... uhm... I honestly have no clue as to why. Then a few other cards I'll use and then pay off each time they send a "use this or we're gonna cancel it" notice....

But if you use Amazon much you just use the points for Amazon purchases where you get the full value, and prevents it from becoming card balance.

This... and apparently the fact that without my beard I look a WHOLE lot like John Wayne Gacy....

I would argue that it's not sad, it's a discussion of human nature. People live better lives when they have a purpose, that has been my personal experience, and what I have observed in many others. Now, for some people that means working a job, having a boss, all that. For others it means...

First, the average age for a male in the US is well over 70 these days, so plan for probably 80 or longer if you're keeping decent care of yourself. And another nugget of wisdom from my hairy sack of experience.... So you plan on retiring at 50, what are you going to do with yourself for the 30...

Today's thing to piss me off.... long after release editing of lyrics on the radio. Case in point, the classical masterpiece "Jump Around" by the composer "House of Pain". In a song where the lead is openly talking about killing people he doesn't like with a shotgun that's all fine... but they...

Ah that does remind me of another snore trigger to me.... dehumidification. I was trying to tinker with the overall comfort in the house so tested out a dehumidifier to dry the air a little. When the humidity was consistently in the low 30's I started snoring like crazy. When I shut off the...

I did the knee pillow and it didn't help. But if it works for you I will be overjoyed on your behalf. ;) I never had a complex study done. They wanted to do a sleep study on me, but the study was literally just an O2 sensor I wore on my thumb overnight for a couple nights.... I went back to...

For us Buddy just became the most affectionate he's ever been. Continuous rubbing of head against legs, hands, whatever... He still hasn't re-coordinated his limbs enough to start jumping up on stuff, so stumbling around like that overly affectionate drunk friend at parties...

SOMEONE had a cracked tooth and abcess that had to get handled today.... ... SOMEONE is still stoned off their ever loving gourd on ketamine and pain killers.... Someone ==

Yeah, checked that and even tried one of those stupid pillows that goes between your legs to help and it didn't help..... I'm bracing myself for finding out that my youthful love of playing goaltender (with the subsequent hip and groin pulls/injuries) is combining with my genetics to cause...

I'm a side sleeper as well. Top end memory foam/gel mattress and in the last month I've started getting some pain in my right hip. I'm still in denial that it's because I'm in my mid 50's and arthritis runs in my family... So let's blame the mattress. ;)

I will admit I am wondering if I get somehow scored against if I give a bad review, but it does say to be honest. heh Maybe I'll meter out my bad reviews to maintain an "anti-shill" ratio....

So slightly off topic but still in the sphere of investing question. Is it offensive to reference how much physical silver you are purchasing denominated in "Jesus"s? A traditional Sheckle is 11.5g, meaning Jesus was sold out for around 240g of silver, or around 8 ounces. So if I'm picking...

I just got this as a recommendation for me to review.... I think the algorithm needs a little tweaking...

Depends on your impulse control... Let's say hypothetically you're in the 25% tax bracket. If you can look at it and say "I'm getting this item for 75% off it's list price which I'll pay at the end of the year" and it's still worth it so you buy the thing, then you're OK. If you look at it...

Somewhere... someone has convinced that poor girl that she's in a line of work where nobody cares at all about how toxic you are towards the fans and the material you perform. And whereas that's been something a lot of people have gotten away with over the past few years I'm starting to feel...

Yeah, talking to a friend who is in this as well.... apparently it's triggered if enough people read your reviews and click the "I found this helpful" link. Which I have found seems to come from reviews that are at least entertaining, if not funny.

No, it's clickbait. She was dropped from ANOTHER film, Not Snow White.

There is one catch.... At the end of the year you get a 1099 form from Amazon for the value of all the stuff you were given to review. So technically you do have to pay tax on the value of the "free" stuff you get for reviews. Still, it's like getting 60%+ off so long as you're getting...

I got a banner on Amazon mentioning it, but when I went back and looked sure enough there was email about it as well..... Email to the account that normally routes all my Amazon mail into a "shopping" folder. Kinda random luck I saw it. Just search your inbox for "Amazon Vine" apparently.

OK, First off, I guess I should ask if anybody here is participating in the Amazon Vine program? I do a decent amount of shopping and crap purchasing on Amazon. I also tend to go throw up reviews for things I either really like, or really dislike. Apparently the machine spotted me out for...

So if they come to a conclusion and new contract, how long before the actors get a new contract? Can we maybe make the stage hands go on strike next and prolong the magic?

If that's in SF proper I would say chances are the home had been owned by someone in a family and under homestead style property tax exemption for some amount of time capping the maximum amount of taxes. The home then changed hands, and that triggered a "reset" of tax assessment on the property...

We're about to cancel Uverse and keep the 1g fiber. Only last tether is figuring out how we're going to stream/get Dallas Stars games. OTOH, Now reliving one of the displeasures from my childhood and/or years that I had Direct TV through a dish on the roof..... Poor reception during heavy...

There was already an Eddie Murphy movie about this.... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0131325/

Product review of the day for me.... Just picked up some of this on a lark while grabbing groceries. This is the flavor of my young misspent summers! It's Bomb Pops without the uncomfortable homoeroticism and sticks. All the glorious red, white, and blue flavors, without needing to avoid...

I think I might have hit the right angle here... Watched some but not all of Capaldi. Wholly skipped She-Who (and I am willing to pretend it didn't happen). Now this walks into the next Doctor...

New acquisition to help remind my mother to do tiny things like.. oh... check her blood sugar since she's diabetic.. You can program it with custom alarms that come up in text on the screen, and it's big enough to read across a room.

Grandparents bought a 1500 sq ft 3 bed 1 bath in 1954. Proceeded to raise 4 kids (all of which were already born) in it along with themselves. Then once all the kids had left adopted me from their daughter to raise one more. Whenb I was 7 my grandfather did convert the one car garage into an...

I think I chipped in this bit earlier in this thread but it's too long to go back and read. I have several cards. I use one on a regular basis. Use and completely pay off every 2 weeks. Amazon Prime Visa - 5 points on Amazon purchases, 2 points on gas, 1 point on everything else. No...

Taking a shower just now and mentally pondering the end of season 5 and it hit me.....

Maybe they can be tempted by the amount of revenue this is generating to just do Logue Town as a 2 hour movie and call it the "Between season OVA" and introduce the non weebs to the OVA concept. heh
