    Detroit - No, really

    Born and raised in Michigan worked in the ghetto for many years as a delivery person. You won't die as long as you stay within two blocks of the show in that area. After that it is a roll of the dice. I would suggest dinner in Greek Town before the show atPizzaPapalisAfter the showAmerican Coney...

    Men's Fashion

    Use distilled water in your iron - will last a lot longer and you will avoid mineral buildup which kills irons. Nothing wrong with a good military crease in your shirts and pants looks crisp

Hop back in the car and hop on Pacific Coast Highway and start driving to Napa / SF. This will allow you to see Most of the coast of CA and a few state parks, Monterey, Santa...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I will agree that the scientific data is incomplete on HFCS. It's not natural and your body handles it totally different. If your going to try and stay to a paleo diet its not on the menu. Pepsi CARBONATED WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CARAMEL COLOR, SUGAR, PHOSPHORIC ACID, CAFFEINE...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Right but I think high fiber / High fat / High protein food is in pretty short supply as far as normal diets go or Caveman diet. You could eat a shit load of black beans but then you wouldn't be getting the fat benefits and a lesser does of protein. Early Paleo diet is high protein low...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Just get the fuck off processed food and with all diets more calories then calories used = fat ass Also get in mind fat is more calorie dense then carbs or protein so if you load up on high fat meats and don't burn it off you'll be in trouble

    Investing

    Don't borrow money from your retirement fund. You can never get time back and the last thing you want to do is pay interest against past savings. I agree with having your wife look at options through the teachers union, my GF who I bought a house with is a teacher was a life saver. Also don't...

    Home buying thread

    Just bought a house and agree with Zivany. I'm not sure your credit status but if you have great credit when you look at the interest rate v. inflation it's close to free money. PMI sucks and it will not drop off on it's own anymore once you hit 20% equity in your house you can do a refi and got...

    Investing

    Only advice I would add: Set a schedule to check and rebalance your fund's as needed every quarter. Don't listen to CNBC make the plan work the plan to meet your goals. Check your goals on a regular basis. What you think is important at 30 might not be so important at 40. Don't under...
