    Sounds like you've done everything possible to preserve energy, and your bill shows it. There are only a few other things I could imagine that would alter your bill. 1.) Check the doors that exit your house. Make sure they have good weatherstripping on them and there is no draft that enters...

    Honestly, you shouldn't be even looking at the MLS for items that are out of your budget range. No good can come of that. Also, you need to find out exactly what type of mortgages you qualify for. Because no house is alike, the same mortgages aren't available for every place. There's lots of...

    So Avatar. And even Passengers. Those were both heavily 3D. I heard that Gravity was another that really benefited from it.

    There's only 1 regal theater on the island. They have a psudo IMAX screen (they converted the big theater). For Thursday's show, the first one was 7pm for a 2D showing, then 10pm for 3D, then 1am for 2d again. I hope that Marvel isn't going to stop making 3D, because damnit, I like it.

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    The director of Guardians said that Warlock wasn't going to be introduced until Guardians 3. He wanted him for 2, but wasn't able to seamlessly introduce him with how much else was going on in that movie. So #3. And that's not due until 2020. Where as Infinity War #1 is 2018, and #2 is 2019.

    Average median household price out here is $800,000. 20% down on a starter house that's around $650,000 (Which is an EXTREMELY starter house. It's hard to find anything in that price range) is STILL going to be $130,000. Who the fuck is just sitting on that much money when they are looking...

    PMI sucks, yes, but it's a necessary evil unless you qualify for a 2nd mortgage (20% downpayment loan), and still want to own a house. That's life. If PMI helps facilitate your dream, then by all means, jump on it.

    Not at all. MANY people, myself included, didn't have enough saved to accommodate 20% of a house. However, I owned my house for 10 years. In that time I was never once late on a payment, and I always overpaid into the principle by around $400 every month. I was a great purchaser, but the...

    It's not that you agree to pay it. It's that the mortgage isn't available unless you get it. That is assuming that you don't take on a second mortgage for the balance needed to hit your 20% downpayment mark.

    I was out at a bar last night with a friend and we had a pretty uncomfortable situation. These two Australian girls stopped us on the street as we were walking between bars, and asked what we were doing. We ended up going to a bar together. There was a chubby older one and a better looking...

    I liked it as well. I watched the first two episodes of Horace & Pete, but just couldn't get into it. While I don't deny that the acting was great, it just wasn't my type of show. But I won't take away from him as a creator, though. CK does some damn good shit. And the series, Louie, was...

    It's only an issue if you make it an issue. Girls are fucking awesome in the early ages. Mine is only 5 now, so I don't know how bad it gets, but she's the best kid up to this point. Plus, she's sensitive. Something that I don't expect our boy to be.

    I have 2 kids now, and the first 3 months of a kids life really suck. Maybe not 3, but at least 2. All they do is eat, sleep, piss, shit & cry. Your entire job as a parent is just to keep them alive, and that's it. It wouldn't bother me at all if I missed 100% of those first 2 months. Kids...

    My daughter never really transitioned from crib to toddler bed. She had a 4-way crib that had various heights. So at first, it was the highest. Then lower. Then lowest. Then I stopped using the hanger at all and kept the mattress on the floor while still "in" the crib. Then I replaced the...
