    - oh yeah, I cause food poisoning, crime, and disease everywhere I go. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:28 1
      - Don't leave out political strife! -- nm - Go Ducks! via droid Sep 12, 12:31
FWIW: Wife and friend hope to have a place today and move out this week. I am very happy - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:06 58
- Cappy, buy what you want to make you happy....it's your bed for chrissakes, you spend a third of your life in it. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 12, 12:18 11
  - I agree with you. -- nm - Go Ducks! via droid Sep 12, 12:24
  - that first sentence is the worst advice ever. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:19 9
    - In some situations, yes. but he's losing his wife and his life as he knew it.....he needs something to unsuck it. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 12, 12:22 8
      - going deeper into debt is not the way. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:22 7
        
        Pratically, no. Emotionally, this is probably the best "bang for your dollar". I mean, he could have bought a new house or car to forget. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 12, 12:25 3
        
        If he needs a bed to sleep on, great. If it's just psychological, that's stupid when he has so much debt. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:29 1
        
        In the end its both. Shes taking the bed, I need one and it will feel good having that mental reset. - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:31
        
        Well I do get all the equity in the house, what there is of it. The nice thing is she is taking - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:29
        
        read below the 600=800 I spend on the bed is after a huge net savings i get in divorcing -- nm - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:25 2
        
        I saw your post below, and I have a suspicion you are leaving out a lot of costs. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:29 1
        
        No. I incur no extra costs being divorced. I do lose her income but all we were using that for - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:38
- Is this Cappy posting or Nice Gus posting? -- nm - Go Ducks! via droid Sep 12, 12:10
- Good! This is the way to move on! -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 12, 12:09 1
  - this -- nm - Beaker Sep 12, 12:14
- Face off? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 12:07
- reminder: you're huge in debt. new furniture costs. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 12:07 40
  - well, yes. Cappy, just buy new sheets. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:09 3
    - Well I dont want a king bed. I have always hated its that big. And honestly the mattress is 8 years old - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:14 2
      - That makes sense if she gets it. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 12:15 1
        
        Yeah she sorta demanded the bed. In exchange I got to keep my art, all the DVDs and - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:18
  - It sounds like he has been paying to store some since... well... way back? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 12:08 35
    - he said he went shopping. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:09 34
      - Went looking. Picked some stuff. I have a bill at this place now that I will pay off this month. - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:12 28
        
        also, I think you need to review what "net savings" means. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:14
        
        wait. 166 times 36 is $5976. six grand? it costs you six grand to reset a bedroom? I hope the sex is good. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 12:14 14
        
        What we filled the house with back in the day: - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:24
        
        it's not 166 months. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:15 12
        
        $166 a month for 36 months. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 12:19 11
        
        $36 per month. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:19 10
        
        "Its 166 a month" (typo not mine) -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 12:20 9
        
        His current loan ending now is $166 a month...the new loan will be $36 a month. - Will Hunting Sep 12, 12:21 5
        
        oh sorry. I don't speak capstern very well. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 12:22 4
        
        it is much easier to do if you put your head up your ass. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 12:24 3
        
        hence why you understand me sooooo well :) -- nm - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:26 2
        
        I mean, we are roughly the same age, but that is where the similarity ends. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 12:27
        
        I actually do not understand you at all. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 12:27
        
        That's the current payment that he's paying off this month. -- nm - Ender Sep 12, 12:21
        
        he is currently palying $166/month. After he buys new bed, he will pay $36/month for unspecified months. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:21 1
        
        18 (but plan to pay off in 6 just doing the no interest period to give me flexibility) -- nm - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:27
        
        cappy, seriously. stop buying shit. If you have to pay in installment, you don't have the money. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:12 11
        
        In the end I net out ahead of where I am now. - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:16 3
        
        Yes, but where you are now is deeply in debt. If you didn't buy it then you could put ALL of it towards the debt. -- nm - Ender Sep 12, 12:18
        
        if you paid it off this month, you would then pay 0 per month. Therefore you are not netting ahead. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:17 1
        
        I would rather put the 800 cash I would pay for it now, on another bill - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 12:40
        
        mostly word. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 12:15 6
        
        if it was an actual necessity, he might have a case. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:15 5
        
        He needs a bed. If he can get 6 months same as cash, why not? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 12:16 4
        
        he didn't say that. he said he wanted to get rid of it to forget her. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:16 3
        
        Sorry, I read more above. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 12:17 2
        
        my answer made sense as the situation was orginally presented. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:17 1
        
        Agreed. I just course corrected before you did. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 12:18

        Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 12, 12:12
        
        yes, I caught that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 12:11

Either they've done this for a while and I never noticed, or it's new. ESPN's NFL box scores include # of Targets for players with a reception. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 12, 12:01 2
