STIS: If you were going to stay in two places ... one, a lively beach town, and the other, a quiet place in the jungle, which would you do first? - loosilu Oct 13, 08:15 6

- I've seen plenty of beach in my life, but never jungle. Jungle. -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 08:17
- Lively first. Get tired out, and then relax in the quiet. - psilotum Oct 13, 08:17 1
  - I agree with this. The excitement while the vacation is new, the chill at the end when I'm ready for chill. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:19
- Beach, always beach. -- nm - Trish Oct 13, 08:17

hey kilbo, do you have any suggestions on drives for a home server? - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:12 4
- Seagate is the official HD of kilbo. Mostly because they have (or had) a 5 year warranty on their drives - oblique Oct 13, 08:13 3
  - ok, thanks, I was looking at the WD black drives cause of their 5 yr warranty. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:14 2
    - How long is the warranty on their green drives? Thinking of getting two 250's. -- nm - lileve Oct 13, 08:30 1

  - That's pretty cool. What did the note say? -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:09 2
    - "I hope this note finds you much calmer and devoid of rage." nm - Dignan Oct 13, 08:12
    - "Anthrax is the greatest band ever!!! Rock on!" -- nm - Young Jovian Oct 13, 08:11

Every day, a different statement closing date for my new credit card. - znufrii Oct 13, 08:04 28
- Are you logging in to check this daily? For why? -- nm - Jacen si Oct 13, 08:05 27
  - it's on the same page as my checking account balance, which I do check daily... - znufrii Oct 13, 08:05 16
    - Daily? Why for? I only look at the bank balance when I balance it in Quicken when the statement comes -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:07 12
      - I look a lot because there isn't a lot of cushion there. If there was, I wouldn't. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:10 10
        
        But in theory, it should matter. You know what is in and what is coming out (checks, debits, etc). It's not like the bank balance is "true" - oblique Oct 13, 08:11 8
        
        so, you check Quicken every day, I check my balance online every day. - znufrii Oct 13, 08:14 4
        
        No, I only look at Quicken once a week when I pay the bills -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:15 3
        
        fair enough. - znufrii Oct 13, 08:16 2
        
        Seriously, use Quicken, even the free online one. Once you know where everything is going, it is so much easier to manage -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:19 1
        
        *shrug* - znufrii Oct 13, 08:23
        
        Which works if you, y'know, never have to cheat. Or don't have your wife occasionally needing the debit card to buy diapers and stuff. - TFox Oct 13, 08:12 2
        
        This is what credit cards are for - oblique Oct 13, 08:13 1
        
        Which would be great if... - TFox Oct 13, 08:14
        
        that too. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 08:10
      - well, if I hadn't I'd have never known my automatic payment for the cable bill went through earlier than I had expected. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 08:08
    - [deleted] 1
      - especially when you can transfer over your entire balance from your old, high interest card, to one that's 0% -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 08:08
    - gotcha. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:06
  - for such a little guy, you are really financially savvy -- nm - decline Oct 13, 08:05
  - (Jacen loves credit cards.) -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:05 8
    - How did he do this morning when you dropped him off? -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:07 7
      - I didn't get to go, because I am a sucky dad, and because he slept in. SheFox said he saw the toys and was off like a giggling bolt. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:08 5
        
        Nice. I'm glad he wasn't a crying mess. I could see you calling in sick and staying with him the whole day. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:09 4
        
        The couple of times I dropped the kids off at daycare and they were a crying/screaming mess? - amoxy Oct 13, 08:12 1
        
        I've heard that so many times. It broke my heart dropping my nephew off and seeing his upset. Ruins the day until you hear that he had a great time - Krusty Oct 13, 08:16
        
        I think I'm going to come in a little late tomorrow, so I can finally go check the place out when we drop him off. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:11 1
        
        Good luck and I'm sure it won't be long before he's looking forward to going. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:12
      - Way to rub it in -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:07
Zzzzzzzzzzz -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:01 3
- It was so hard to get out of bed this morning. It was pouring and I was just enjoying listening to the rain -- nm - amoxy Oct 13, 08:01 2
  - Amoxy, I don't care which network Journeyman was on--the cancellation made all the networks equalable culpable in my eyes. - Trish Oct 13, 08:13
  - Total word. Who cares if it's my first day of daycare, and I never ever sleep in? Today was the perfect day for it. - Jacen si Oct 13, 08:03
