    More often than not, your first years worth of homeowners insurance will be bundled in with the rest of your closing costs. 99% of the payment checks we get after a customer closes on a new home are from the title company, not the individual buying the home.

    How much do you really want the 3D feature? Because it's costing you an extra $600. Heres basically the same TV without 3D for $1700 http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=A6991431

    Sonic and Whataburger are the exact same hamburger. That being said, I like both. Sonic chili cheese tots, add onions & jalapenos, then orgasm as you eat them.

    Charging a customer upwards of $60 per GB is goddamn highway robbery of the most egregious kind. Just absolutely insane . That ridiculousness would be on par with Taco Bell charging $10 per extra sauce packet. That's the kind of profit margin we are talking about there. The fact that...

    C'mon Chiefs, sign Jackson. Maybe this is why the chiefs have done jack shit in free agency so far, Reid had inside info that this was coming...I can hope at least. Would be the perfect compliment to Dwayne Bowe. We'd have our speed/deep threat to go with Bowe's possession/size skills.

    I bet you'll still find cheaper prices online, even considering the 25% discount. A 25% discount on accessories/parts in a brick & mortar store means it's then only about 50% overpriced.

    Also, don't worry about portioning out small amounts of ham & cheese on each individual bun. If you pack the buns into the pan, just slap whole chunks of ham & cheese across multiple buns. It all melts together and they have to be cut apart anyways, so just cut them apart after they bake.

    Yeah, you brush the sauce on top of the buns. It's basically a butter sauce that soaks into the bun & browns nicely in the oven, but with some extra spices added for flavoring(onion, poppy seed, etc) The sauce ends up being like 75% butter, 25% the other stuff for some added flavor. It's not...

    Yeah I guess I stated that wrong, we just do the polyvisol with the extra iron in it, no iron supplement by itself. I'll be glad when we're done with it, the only thing worse than spitup milk is spitup black/green milk. Yuck.

    Costco is the best, by far, if you're definitely set on buying from a big-box retailer locally. They carry mostly Samsung, LG, and Vizio They give you an extra year of warranty for free just from buying through them. I love LG personally, they're generally like 95% as good as a Samsung...

    Yeah, the roughly ~$300 sweet spot for video cards has never really been able to run the newest games on ultra settings at 60FPS, regardless of what year/generation of cards we are on. A $300 card is going to get you ultra settings at 30FPS, or medium to high settings at 60FPS. To get 60+FPS...

    Yeah, any citrus juice will chemically "cook" pretty much any seafood. Have to be careful if you are marinating seafood in a marinade with citrus juice, it'll get cooked & dry out if you marinate it too long.

    We do the Polyvisol, our kid doesn't mind it as long as it's mixed into a decent amount of milk/formula in his bottle. I didn't realize there was better tasting versions of it out there though. The stuff just looks gross, turns his milk blackish-green.

    The only reason you wouldneedSLI Titans right now is if you are doing 4K gaming. Otherwise you're just stroking your epeen that you can get 300FPS in the game of your choice, which in practical use does absolutely nothing for you. The dumbest part about spending 3 grand on a video card is...

    We've been doing an vitamin + iron supplement since day 1, even with 80% of the kids milk being breastmilk every day. Of course a lot of that could be just because he was a preemie, but our pediatrician told us she'd reconsider the supplement at his 1 year checkup(which is about 6 weeks from now)
