      - I actually think it's an interesting argument worth making. Fact is, Canadian oil is far better on a moral basis than several other sources. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 10:22 3
        
        Until I can choose the Canadian oil pump at the station, it's all pissing into the wind - Reagen Feb 3, 10:24 1

color of money chat q: he/she was laid off two years ago and has credit card debt at 18%. should they use their 401k/IRA to pay off the credit card? - cupixie Feb 3, 10:02 14
- no. -- nm - loosilu Feb 3, 10:27
- No, move it to one of the 0% interest cards you get the offers for in the mail. Repeat every 8-12 months. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 3, 10:21
- not enough information, but I generally favor short term cash flow over long term interest savings until you have enough cash on hand to cover emrgncs -- nm - Max Feb 3, 10:11 2
  - money now is sometimes better than money later. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 3, 10:20 1
    - Michelle's response to the questioner - cupixie Feb 3, 10:24
- what truman said -- nm - crash davis Feb 3, 10:11
- NO!!! -- nm - Suze Orman Feb 3, 10:09
- only as a last resort - znufrii Feb 3, 10:07
- probably....nm - x Feb 3, 10:05
- as usual it depends on alot of other things - Beaker Feb 3, 10:04
- Depends on the size of the IRA, but I would probably recommend doing so. -- nm - decline Feb 3, 10:04
- honeslty, i think it would depend on the amount of CC debt. -- nm - tRuMAN is not a monkey, maybe Feb 3, 10:03
- I think I would in that case. - Will Hunting Feb 3, 10:03
- renter guess: no. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 10:02
North Dakote bill would require couples seeking divorce to seek counseling first. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 10:01 47
- After seeing the Newly wed, Near Dead episode where the couple were arguing over a open sock drawer, I am in favour of this ND idea... - Walt_Disney Feb 3, 10:24
- Does North Dakota require the same of gun buyers, I wonder? -- nm - Max Feb 3, 10:17 9
  - If only they made silencers for wives, no counseling would be necessary. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 3, 10:22 2
    - a two liter pop bottle and duct tape works on guns - crash davis Feb 3, 10:24

  - yeah, if you want to get rid of a gun there, you have to get counselling -- nm - crash davis Feb 3, 10:17 5
    - Nice -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 10:19
    - I've recently fallen for a newer, faster gun. She's a pistol. -- nm - Max Feb 3, 10:19 1
      - *exemption granted* -- nm - The State Feb 3, 10:20
    - *snork* -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 10:18
    - heh -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 10:18
- Bill sponsored by the American Association of Marriage Counsellors -- nm - Roger More Feb 3, 10:12
- I, too, have made up my mind completely without reading one word of the article -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 10:10
- is the state going to pay for it? because if they feel you shouldn't be required to buy health insurance but you should be required to get counseling - crash davis Feb 3, 10:10 1
  - nice. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 10:11
- But go ahead and get married as quickly as you want! -- nm - mara Feb 3, 10:10 4
  - Yeah, when I saw that one year part, my first thought was, "Well, there should be a one year wait on getting a marriage license, too." -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 10:11 3
    - yup, and *that's* when you should require counseling, if you're going to go down that road... -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 10:13
    - Yeah - the one year part seems more onerous to me than the marriage counselling requirement -- nm - Roger More Feb 3, 10:13 1
      - sure, the counseling requirement is just a pointless intrusion. the 12-month waiting period is what's harmful. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 10:19
- no - waste of time - therapy counseling takes longer than 1 session - Epiphany Feb 3, 10:09 3
  - Yes, a proven case of cheating should be speedy grounds as well. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 10:11 2
    - "What do you mean, can I prove it? Smell it. That's not me." -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 10:12 1
      - (oh, and welcome back from lunch, east coasters.) -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 10:12
- i would be against that. -- nm - tRuMAN is not a monkey, maybe Feb 3, 10:08
- It's consistently dickish, which is about all I'll give them. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 10:07
- stupid. -- nm - decline Feb 3, 10:07
- eff that....nm - x Feb 3, 10:06
- Screw that shit. It's none of the state's damn business why I'd want a divorce. -- nm - TWuG Feb 3, 10:06 9
  - It's the state's business when you want to get married. -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 10:08 8
    - no marriage has been held to be a fundamental constitutional right. the state has only limited interests in reasonably regulating it -- nm - cupixie Feb 3, 10:19 1
      - WooHoo! -- nm - gays Feb 3, 10:20
    - In as much as they have an interest in not having minors marrying adults, siblings marrying, multiple spouses, sure. Beyond that, it's also none of - TWuG Feb 3, 10:13 5
      - Of course there's also the case of people marrying foreigners just so they can obtain citizenship. -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 10:17 4
        
        That, as well. And in divorces, establishing rules for division of property and welfare of dependent children. - TWuG Feb 3, 10:20 3
        
        Also, I think with the prevalence of pre-nuptial agreements, there is a danger that some marriages can be taking place solely to accrue the favoured - Loyola Feb 3, 10:27 2
        
        So? Change the tax laws, then. I don't think the state needs to encourage marriage or discourage divorce any more than I think they should - TWuG Feb 3, 10:33 1
        
        I disagree. -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 10:38
- given the exemption listed inside, i'm basically for it. i'm sure there are some cases that it would suck, but that happens. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 10:04 1
  - (or, indifferent to it would probably be more accurate.) -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 10:07
- not a fan. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 10:03
- more fundy right wing bullshit - cupixie Feb 3, 10:03
- *likes* -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 10:02 4
  - Yep I agree -- nm - eag Feb 3, 10:04 3
    - As long as the counselor has the right after one meeting of saying, "You are right." -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 10:05 2
      - I see your point -- nm - eag Feb 3, 10:07 1
        
        Which after reading the link, I see is not the case. So I change my answer. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 10:08
so if I'm measuring something like salsa con queso with a tablespoon. How much is the correct serving amount? I mean, I get a pretty big amount on a - sycor Feb 3, 10:00 13
- As I thought. Tostitos Salsa Con Queso dip = 2 tablespoons - con_carne Feb 3, 10:04
- 1 tbl = 1/2 oz = 15 ml -- nm - decline Feb 3, 10:03 1
  - ok, 1/2 oz. this makes it easier. I can just weigh it. -- nm - sycor Feb 3, 10:06
- what recipe could possibly require a precise amount of queso? "add a glop of cheesy shit." -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 10:02 1
  - it's for my diet. chips and queso is part of my dinner. just trying to be somewhat accurate for my calorie intake -- nm - sycor Feb 3, 10:03
- 1/3 cup -- nm - tRuMAN is not a monkey, maybe Feb 3, 10:00 7
  - ok lets say I don't want to put the salsa con queso into a measuring cup and loose precious queso when I heat in and put it in a serving dish -- nm - sycor Feb 3, 10:02 6
    - I can't wait for nanotechnology and graphene to solve this pressing issue. -- nm - starving african child si Feb 3, 10:04 1
      - hey, get a job and then you can buy your own queso. :P -- nm - sycor Feb 3, 10:04
    - 6-10 spoon fulls then. -- nm - tRuMAN is not a monkey, maybe Feb 3, 10:03 3
      - I don't think we are on the same page. hehe. The queso is in a jar. I'm using a table spoon to get it out. I can get a big giant amount heaped up on a - sycor Feb 3, 10:04 2
        
        fine, spoon-fulls to taste. -- nm - tRuMAN is not a monkey, maybe Feb 3, 10:06
        
        so then use the right amount. you're a big boy, you can see how much fits on the spoon. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 10:06
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. -- nm - The Borg Feb 3, 09:59 5
- Bork! Bork! Bork! -- (link) - decline Feb 3, 10:00 [youtube] 3

  - classic !!! you deserve points for posting that ! :) -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Feb 3, 10:18
  - You have to wonder how high someone was to write that skit. -- nm - Mop (213 lbs) Feb 3, 10:17
