3 times in the past year my wife or I had minor surgery...each time the hospital, of all people, told us up front what it might cost us out of pocket. Its a shocking number each time but they make certain to mention that is the cost, what the contract price is and what our policy covers is not cons...

[quote] A properly crate trained dog won't have any issues being crated for many hours at a time, they just go in and go to sleep until you come home. That's what mine does. I don't even close the door, she just goes in, lays down, goes to sleep, and when I come home, she's still in there. Trained ...
We have left our dogs in a crate for several hours at a time with water....they are none to worse for wear. They both have slept in their crates their entire lives with the doors open....they aren't under any stress in their crate, they actually prefer it. The little one is terrified of thunder an...
I have a buddy who is a prepper...he has been cutting empty plastic water bottles to allow the last few drops out for about 30 years that I know of. I guess if mankind lasts long enough it may make a difference. Even a plastic water bottle will eventually break down in a landfill though...it might...

[quote]I have them going 10-2[/quote] Anything less would be a pretty bad season considering. Michigan will probably take a step backward. OU may be far better and UGA will be as good or better. 10/19 is gonna be yuge........
[quote]They can't join any conference unless they get full control.[/quote] Thats why I think they may join the ACC if they join any conference. The ACC is on the ropes...it will accept ANY sort of life preserver....ND, could, if they wanted to join a conference (they do not currently but thats ...
[quote]Should ND join the B1G it's TV revenue will leave the SEC's TV revenue in its rear view mirror, but hey, let's just keep fighting the Civil War like it's 1861[/quote] Exactly. Most of us won't admit it but the Big 10 is cleaning the SECs clock currently....manage to land the whale that is...
[quote] Just imagine how low your insurance would be if 70% of the country wasn't on government Healthcare insurance.[/quote] It'd be about the same. The fact is that the uninsured and underinsured, no matter the reason, receive medical care because most providers will provide care because so...
I didn't read the part about you being alone most if not all the time. Class Cs are bigger and surprisingly cheaper than class Bs for some reason. Class Bs are probably more economical....our motor home gets 6 mpg and only has a 40 gallon gas tank. With the generator running we usually have ...
[quote] Not all vehicles can be flat towed, do your research and then go shopping. In order to tow legally you also have to set up a braking system in the towed car. We have towed a Jeep Cherokee before and you really do need the braking system[/quote] If memory serves Arkansas is the only st...

[quote]We were told for years that the SEC is the toughest conference and we would go winless there. Evidently it now sucks. Really wish you guys would make up your mind[/quote] The SEC is the toughest conference top to bottom. Anyone who suggested that meant Texas would be winless in the SEC...
At this point yes and without hesitation. Not close culturally or geographically obviously but its all about the money. ND is ACC or Big 10 bound though IF they ever join a conference and IF the ACC hangs around long enough for it to happen. ND would be a fool to joing a conference at the moment ...
We use CCs for everything...have one paying 10% back for any purchase currently. We pay the balance every 14 days. Usually around $2500 but sometimes as high as $4K or as low as $700-$800. It is kind of like playing poker with chips instead of cash though...makes it far easier to justify spendin...

[quote]For me it would be Central Virginia—think Richmond, Lynchburg, Charlottesville.
