    - I have a small personal account and I have to totally think of that different from my 401k where I don't even give taxes a thought -- nm - Bacon Feb 9, 07:50 1
      - Yeah that was honestly my mistake. I parked stuff in a mutual fund last year and then went "oh, that was stupid" - spamlet Feb 9, 07:52
  - And to think, if not for the tax cuts, I probably would have already invested my 2017 IRA contribution. - znufrii Feb 9, 07:47 4

      - My favorite slow cooker (I’ve had it over a decade) is a cheap no-brand name one. - kelly Feb 9, 06:43 9
        
        Fair enough. I've had cheap no brand things do very well. I don't trust anything Wal-Mart sells and I'm extra cautious about things that - Krusty Feb 9, 06:48 8
        
        a rival brand slow cooker sold by wal mart is the same as a rival brand slow cooker sold by amazon or kohl's. - amanda Feb 9, 06:50 7
        
        But that's not a national brand, it's a generic appliance. - Krusty Feb 9, 07:02 5
        
        Also to consider $8 is the clearance price roughly 50% off) and it's a tiny 2 quart size one. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 9, 07:13 1
        
        True. - Krusty Feb 9, 07:20

    - now you're talkin' -- nm - Beaker Feb 9, 07:04
  - It won't ship - no matter what shipping option i pick it tells me the slow cooker cannot be shipped to my location. -- nm - Andie Feb 9, 06:17
  - check the North side Walmart, they have a ton of toys on sale (in the backroom past the pet food), a lot of Legos -- nm - Beaker Feb 9, 06:14
