    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    One other note, I have done both promoted 'posts' (which include a description of the specials for that day) and promoted 'offers' (which was the exact same deals as the specials in the promoted posts) and even though the promoted posts received 3x as many views as the promoted offers, the...

    2013 NFL Season

    I'm sure he realized as soon as he threw it that it was a blown throw. I'm sure Luck is torn up about the whole thing.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Yeah, I hear what you are saying, it feels kind of like extortion. But I look at it this way, most of the mailers I do end up going to my already existing customers which isn't much different than me paying Facebook to reach my fans. And I am getting much better results with Facebook right now...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    So I have been having some success with Facebook promoted posts this last month. I have been paying to reach people in my entire trade area (just not my fans, or likers or whatever you want to call them) and the response has been good. So far I have spent $196.50 on promoted posts and using...

    This ended up being a great week for me. Even though I didn't make the right roster moves (started Morris over Jackson and Newton over Stafford) I am going to end up crushing my opponent and have a chance to have the highest scoring week of the season, which is worth a prize in my league if it...

    Woman who was getting her box munched on in public now claiming rape

    Well you can, but you have to be so drunk that you don't remember any of it, so what would be the point?

    Woman who was getting her box munched on in public now claiming rape

    Think if I ever get pulled over for a DUI I am just going to point out how I couldn't consent to driving because I was intoxicated. I mean, I might have wanted to drive and might have thought it was a good idea at the time, but since I regret it the next day it wasn't my fault. Obviously it...

    Woman who was getting her box munched on in public now claiming rape

    So I am not responsible for my actions while intoxicated when it comes to rape, only when driving?

    Woman who was getting her box munched on in public now claiming rape

    So if I am drunk and a girl who is not drunk starts sucking my cock I am responsible for getting raped?

    Commuting to and from work

    Every time I have to drive through Seattle I can't comprehend how people deal with commuting through that day-in-day-out. I see those estimated travel times for cities that are 15 miles away with hour+ commute times pretty much any time I am in the area during rush hour (which is pretty much...

    Scarlett Johansson Named ?Sexiest Woman Alive? for the second time!

    Hard to argue against Johansson, but I've been loving me some Alison Brie myself. She might not beat Johansson in a straight up better body contest (although it would be a fun contest to judge) but seems down-to-earth and kind of nerdy which pushes her way over the top imo.

    Quick chicken wing question for the thread. I have been tasked with doing chicken wings for a Halloween party this weekend. I have used the Alton Brown "steam-then-bake" method in the past and they have been a huge hit. In his video he says to refrigerate the wings for at least an hour, but...

    Ugh, that is all I can say about that choice. I would cruise the waiver wire first, but if those are really your two best options, I play McGahee in standard scoring, Cotchery in PPR. Some guys I look at instead that are available in most ESPN leagues, Mike Tolbert, Brandon Jacobs or Austin...

    Did it actually change the beer? When Red Hook partnered with InBev their beer didn't change at all (not that is was that great to begin with), just their distribution and advertising.

    Had that thought as well. That leaves me with a WR2 choice though. Decker is on the best offense, but has the worst match-up. Steve Smith has been disappointing, Hartline and Williams both have enticing match-ups but aren't necessarily reliable...

    Yeah, here is another chart showing some average costs broken down by route. We would definitely want a newborn, but I don't think race would be much of an issue for us. Outside of going the foster-care route (which has its own non-financial hurdles and risks) the cost is pretty much the same...

    Can't decide on Lacy vs Morris for RB2 slot, I think Morris has the better match-up, but Lacy has been getting way more touches. I also can't decide who to play in the flex this week. Pretty much a must win game against a strong team this week. (PPR Scoring) Thoughts?

    We did talk about adoption, and it can also end up being that expensive (although not always). It really came down to being wary of the process and me thinking I have superior genetics that need to be passed onI know that there are plenty of positive adoption stories out there, but both...

    Wife and I are moving forward with IVF, starting hopefully next week. About a $20k out-of-pocket price tag when all is said and done. If it doesn't work the first month it is about another $4k per month after that (assuming there are embryos left over). Now we have to decide whether to...

    You can get a free VOIP router from VZW if you can convince them that: a.)You live in an area that doesn't have coverage. b.)Will cancel your service if they don't give you one. We had a coverage hole in just our neighborhood. Took us probably about 5-6 phone calls and a visit from the...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I would say that if your current advertising is helping generate more demand than you can currently meet, probably wouldn't be a good idea to increase your budget until you get that extra equipment/crew in place and running smoothly. That word of mouth advertising is still going to be your...

    I still just don't understand. You have a tablet, you could easily load your music and/or download videos to watch without using any data and save so much money. If some months you are only using 2-3gbs it shouldn't be that hard to manage your media consumption just a little bit to ensure that...

    I have never heard of any sort of account credit, but you also shouldn't HAVE to renew your contract and can just go month-to-month. So your $100 will get you a slightly better phone then the S4 (imo) and the flexibility of not being locked into a contract.
