First off....this is not a "its really about me" situation. Other than a couple of survivor pools and 1 or 2 small money FF leagues,($200 max) gambling on sports has never really appealed to me. And frankly, I've always found people that can't watch a game without having "some action" pretty...

So over the past couple of weeks, the internet on my home PC has just gone totally haywire. The main issue is just incredibly slow speeds when streaming videos (youtube, twitch, even embedded videos from twitter and FB) but there are other issues too. I have 2 GMAIL accounts, and its often...

So I'm not the only one getting these right? For the past 2 weeks, I've had 3 separate "companies" calling me (and asking for me by name, so clearly someone sold them my info) claiming to be associated with my medical plan provider and offering "free" over the counter medications. When I tell...

I'm sure there are plenty of accountants here (or at least NJ--->NY commuters) so i figured I'd just throw this out. I was offered a new job at my company today. Big bump in terms of responsibility and potential for advancement, but from a title and pay-band perspective, its a lateral move...

I've had my current pc for like 7 and a half years. I replaced the motherboard like 6 years ago (unnecessarily it turned out) it was a high end gaming PC when I built it but obviously pretty dated now. Still runs anything on passable settings but obviously way past it's prime. A couple of...

I moved into my new place back in August, so this is my first winter. The basement is about 800 square feet with around 500 of that being finished with the drop ceiling. The unfinished area is behind a door but not completed sealed off or anything.  I'm obviously not too concerned about the...

So I'm in a semi-competitive work league. Nothing crazy ($100 buy in, mix of people that are serious, semi-serious and some that are just in it for the banter) but its fun. I dont actually work in the department anymore but I (along with a few other people that used to) still play in the league...

Yes. I realize this is probably too long....... Short version: Co-worker went behind my back to my boss' boss twice in 6 months to complain about my hours. I'm a salaried employee and my hours do not affect her workload at all. I've advised our bosses I can handle additional work several times...

What is the protocol here? Went out to the car on new years day to find a used condom in the parking lot of my condo complex.  It's right near the stairs, so I  (and all my neighbors, like 16 units)  have to walk by it all the time in order to avoid walking through the sloppy winter grass...

So this morning in my basketball league, a sort of strange play happened. The other team was inbounding the ball underneath their offensive basket (I believe one of our players had just blocked one of their shots out of bounds). They throw the ball in bounds (in the front court), but the pass is...

**EDIT** Looks like I was mistaken and probably registered for a fanduel account back in 2012 as part of a FBG's subsciption deal. Apologies to the staff** This morning I received an email from FanDuel asking to confirm my profile information. They had my first name and the email address that I...

So long story somewhat short.....I was less than 100% happy at my current job for a variety of reasons. I've been there for just over 5 years. I'm having a huge year this year from a production stand point (due in part to a change in our philosophy. We've gotten a lot more aggressive) after a...

So I've posted about this before....but my grandmother on my mother's side turned 90 back in February. She has always been a bit kooky and has a major addiction to buying ridiculous stuff on QVC, but she's always been resonantly healthy physically. She never drank or smoked and always took care...

Got pulled over driving down to South Jersey on Saturday. (back road, no traffic) I saw the cop pull up behind me and like 2 minutes later he flips his lights on. As far as I can tell, I wasn't speeding and didn't commit any other sort of violation. When we walks up to the car, he tells me that...

So I live in an association of around 100 units. Its part of a much bigger community with probably at least 15 other associations. Each separate assoc. is responsible for its own immediate area but we all pitch in for maintenance of the common areas (mainly one road that goes right through the...

So a company we work with hosted an event yesterday that I decided to attend. In addition to the people from my office, there were a bunch of attendees from another branch office close by. One of them was that branch's equivalent of my boss' boss. He is an openly gay man in his 50's. I would...

2 guys replacing my cracked windshield. I don't know if either one is the owner. It's like 15 degrees outside but they showed up 15 minutes after their scheduled window. Do you tip? If so, how much?

I'm in what was a 12 team keeper league. It has been running for about 6 years. Each team keeps 5 guys, 1 of which must be a rookie. Then we draft the non-keepers and incoming rookies in a serpantine draft in reverse order of the previous year's finish (league champ gets pick's 12 and 13) This...

Seriously, its awful, like nails on a chalkboard. Why do the Yankees insist on doing it?

Pretty self explanatory. Im looking to start up an aquarium. Im thinking somewhere in the 50-60 gallon range, freshwater. Id like to do live plants, but i think that might be a little ambitious for a beginner. Any tips? What am i looking at in terms of overall start up cost? Just how big of a...
