That's where you went wrong. You SHOULD have said, "Daughter, you have a budget of xx,xxx dollars. Go do whatever you want as long as you don't exceed the budget."

And then immediately followed up by confiscating the checkbook, hoarding all credit cards, and removing your wife's name from your bank account.

But that's just me.

I see you are a big fan of Comanche Indian surnames.

Do you get the best quality item everytime?


There are at least three things you NEVER go cheap on, and then other things situationally.

My dad always told me to buy quality shoes and your mattress. After all, you spend at least 1/3 of your life with them. This advice has served me well.

On top of that, I'd add in to always buy quality garbage bags, 2 mil minimum. In fact, sometimes I even double bag with those. This will virtually eliminate any possible tears or spills you might ever encounter. And if you ever worry about varmints or animals getting into your trash, pour a little bit of diluted bleach or ammonia IN BETWEEN the two bags before you tie them up, or just give a few squirts from a spray bottle. Problem solved.

Good tool advice has already been given. Common use items - sockets, box/open end wrenches, pliers, etc - buy the best you can afford. One time use items like that three jaw pulley puller... go to Harbor Freight.

I've been with a sharing ministry since January 2015.

Christian Healthcare Ministries. $300/mo.


I checked into this group. Sounded great... until they told me that there was a three year exemption on ALL pre-existing conditions.

I'm both diabetic and am a walking kidney stone factory. This would not work at all for me.

Not sure about all the downvotes unless it is for a FB link. The story is interesting, and thanks for posting.
Did you just actually post a thread about Missouri women's basketball?

I am willing to read many many posts about teams other than Bama. But I gotta be honest with you, on the "interesting" scale, this is about a negative 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. If you gotta hate, hate on their football team!

Oh wait, maybe you should just never mind.

I would argue that Tennessee has probably never had 100k people actually attend a game in Neyland. Their seats are so small...


I firmly believe that Neyland Stadium would only hold about 75-80K if they used 100% seatbacks. They have some "seats" that are only 12-13" wide.

It used to be that any time another stadium would push them on capacity, they would just go out and re-stripe the bleachers to get more seats.

IMHO going to a game at Neyland is a miserable experience, Even if you weigh only a buck-ninety-five. Tons of people have to watch the game standing sideways.
Is it possible that is a different girl from the "insults" video? The first one was wearing a red #8 jersey, and the pepper sprayed girl was wearing a striped shirt.
Just pad them with wrestling mat type of durable foam. It couldn't hurt and maybe do some advertising or logo placement at the same time. Simple, this ain't rocket surgery.

What is REALLY crazy is when they configure Wrigley Field for football. They played a lot of games there back in the day. Now, the setup has a brick wall only 3-4 feet off the back of the end zone. They actually played a major game there a few years ago "one way", with teams constantly flipping directions to head towards the opposite end of the field. Makes one wonder how many times that wall got pounded in years past.

What a stupid statement.

I'd like for you to pretend for just a second that you are a coach, and you have to look the RB in the eye and say: "I know you practiced hard all week and gave it all on the field through almost all of the game. Now, here in the last minute, I want you go go out there and take the gas off and NOT do your best for the team."

If you can honestly say that... then I don't want you as an Alabama fan.

Dear Infraweb friends - I bring receipts. I just passed this one about 30 minutes ago. If you ever wondered why calcium oxalate stones hurt so bad, it is like sand crystals that have been superglued together. This one was about 1/4". It uh... GOT MY ATTENTION COMING OUT. But of course, it already had my attention for the last couple of weeks.

Night. I have no desire to go to bed while sweaty or dirty from the day.
