[quote]Do you have any kind of personal relationship with your niece other than “that uncle she sees on holidays”? If you do, I’d give her $100. If not, $50 is not inconsiderate.[/quote] I'd like to believe so even though being a teenager now we probably aren't as close as we were when she was...
Seems like $75-$100 is the general consensus here. That definitely seems reasonable and something I can do. I do live away from my nieces but we're still decently close considering we live 700 miles apart and I only see them a few times a year. In terms of my other question, do you think it woul...
Wow some of you all gave $350? That seems pretty high to me, especially since she will most likely be attending school in state. Her other uncle and her aunt might be able to afford that but I definitely can't. Given it's a weird situation where my sister is 11 years older than me and my brother...
Obviously still a few months away but my oldest niece is graduating high school this year (wow that makes me feel not young, lol). As I live away from the rest of my family I was looking at some flights today and thought about the topic of the expected "Monetary Gift". Two sites I looked at gave...
They never start on time. My guess is 8:00 is when the official pregame stuff starts. Kickoff probably won't be until 8:20 or 8:30. ...
I play tennis and love to watch tennis when I can. The Australian Open is down there in a few weeks. I wonder if these fires will affect the tournament or even cause it to be cancelled. Looks like all of Melbourne is essentially on fire right now. Plus I can only imagine the horrible air quality....
[quote]Back in my early 20’s my weekends were defined by the outcome of Saints games. Now, not so much. Life in general does that to you.[/quote] Same here, back in my 20s and even early 30s I would be catatonic right now Probably even throwing things. I'm 36 now and I've just mellowed out a lot ...
A lot of people are bringing up LSU and I do agree that LSU is a big reason why I think a lot of fans aren't as upset. We still have LSU who will be playing for a National Title. ...
[quote]One of the reasons I will always like college ball more than the NFL. Way more passion for the game, as the vast majority of players aren’t going to the league, and they aren’t making millions. [/quote] Plus in college even if you're an elite player on an elite team you might have 1 or 2 ...
[quote]Well, that’s not depressing at all.[/quote] But it's true though. Sure Brees might be disappointed but he has a pretty awesome life. Part of me can't blame him for not being in a fetal position after losing a game. Just saying nowadays the fans care about winning more than a lot of the pla...
[quote]I didn’t even bother putting my Saints gear on today. I barely bothered to turn the game on at the end of the first quarter. Never felt like driving to watch it at the bar. I knew the outcome would be a loss, but like a self-loathing star wars fan, I tuned in anyway to find out exactly how th...
That's something I noticed years ago. As fans were mad at losses, these players are out there laughing and hugging each other. It's because at the end of the day they are filthy rich playing a game knowing they get to live a life that vast majority of us can only dream of. Drew in a week or two w...
[quote]I'm just numb to it at this point. After so many heartbreaks u just become used to it. I knew this was a loss in the third quarter.[/quote] Same here, I was actually switching between watching the Saints and catching up on The Mandalorian because my mind was thinking "yep, I've seen this b...
[quote]100% in agreement. The no call broke me. I’m somewhere between a casual and die hard fan now. Idk what you call that. But I’m moving on with my day now. Just don’t care enough to sulk[/quote] Same here. Maybe it's being more mature but it's just not worth losing it anymore and being pissed...
I think this all goes back to last year. Like many Saints fans last year kind of broke me. I think it made me realize I care too much about grown men who make millions playing a game who are going to be smiling and laughing leaving the field win or lose. This whole year I could never get as exci...
[quote]An aftermarket catalytic converter is around $150 plus installation. $250ish at a muffler shop[/quote] Worse case scenario this is probably the route I'll go. I take my vehicle to an import shop and they've always done a good job and are usually half of what any stealership would charge fo...
[quote]Could also be the O2 sensors are bad[/quote] But would this also cause decreased engine performance? I definitely feel like the engine doesn't have as much pep as it did just a few days ago. The vehicle also isn't accelerating as quick either. ...
Figured I would get some car advice from members on the forum. Sadly there isn't any type of car forum so I decided to post it here. I have a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder 190 hp 2011 Accord EX-L. I'm the original owner and the vehicle has 158,000. Vehicle has been spectacular up to this point, never any...
[quote]I'll never understand why the Rose Bowl dictates so much. They held up the process of getting the BCS and now they frick up the dates of the semi finals. To be fair, the Sugar did as well. The hard on that ESPN has for it is really weird and overdone.[/quote] I completely agree, they co...
[quote]An 8pm start time in New Orleans is perfect for visiting fans. Quit crying.[/quote] Except Bowl Games are more about ratings and fans watching on TV than they are about the crowd at the game. That's true for all sports. Are you saying a 7 p.m. start time in New Orleans would somehow mak...
