I post my favorite commercials in here
Bull Dozier replied to Mr. Pickles's topic in Footballguys Free For All
Not sure if this belongs here, or in the "funny things your kids say" thread, but I'll post it here because people will actually get the reference. My college freshmen texted me after he went back to class the other week from break. He said a kid walked in to class, formerly a blonde, but had dyed his hair purple. He texted..."the first thing I thought of was...pppuuurrpplleee!" -
Debit Cards - Does Anyone Still Use One?
Bull Dozier replied to Mister CIA's topic in Footballguys Free For All
I carry and use it mainly at places that don't take my main Visa card (Sam's Club). Rarely carry cash, but use it to get cash when needed. Try to put as much as possible on a rewards credit card. -
Phrases/terms that need to be retired immediately
Bull Dozier replied to Mr. Pickles's topic in Footballguys Free For All
It's the kind of stupid made up work my teenage boys use all the time. When "merch" was the hot new slang they were using, I said I am making up my own slang word "skerz" that means...well...whatever I want it to mean in the moment. If they ever hit me with a "no cap" or some other slang I don't know, I just reply "skerz" to communicate agreement, or disagreement as the context or my lack of understanding calls for. -
Funny things your kid has said
Bull Dozier replied to Sack-Religious.'s topic in Footballguys Free For All
Frugal and recognized good work. Sounds like you are raising a fine young future middle manager right there. -
My wife's car battery died and we had to jump it. Took 15-20 minutes of being hooked up to the other car before it would finally start. When I changed the battery, the sticker said it was five years old. As others have said, if the battery is old or bad, it doesn't jump very easily. Edit to add: since this has been resolved, here my battery story. I've changed many batteries in my day, and it is usually pretty easy. Well, the last one I did was on an '08 Lexus ES. They have a plastic shield over the top of the engine you have to remove to get to the battery. It is held in pl

Thanks!

OK, that doesn't make much sense to me then. That's $75 extra per month. The worst month I had $100 in data overage charges. Another month I had $80. Otherwise, they have all be $20-$40 in overages (or zero). So, it looks like most months I'd be paying more with the xFi and unlimited data. Unless I'm missing something, I'd pass on this.

You have to rent the xFi every month, correct? What is the extra cost for that?

College Admissions Questions
Bull Dozier replied to NewlyRetired's topic in Footballguys Free For All
Thanks, I'm partially curious because my older son's school had zero on campus job available this year due to the pandemic (logically). He did not get work study, so we weren't planning on that. But I'm curious what would have happened if he had gone and we were counting on that? Sounds like we would have been SOL. -
Same here, except I rarely pay $80 as I get charged for overages every month.

College Admissions Questions
Bull Dozier replied to NewlyRetired's topic in Footballguys Free For All
Looks like #2 is leaning towards St Thomas (St. Paul). Marquette's financial package just wasn't enough to make it realistic. U of M accepted, but no financial offer yet. Still waiting to hear back from U of W. Anyone have experience with work study? My two older kids did not qualify, so I'm wondering if that is guaranteed work, or not necessarily? -
Ticketmaster fees.... are you kidding me?
Bull Dozier replied to HERBERT THE HIPPO's topic in Footballguys Free For All
Disagree. Ticketmaster has exclusive contracts with venues and are the only ones that can sell tickets to any show in that venue. Since they have a monopoly, they can charge exhorbinant fees because there are no alternative, no competition. Having no competition, there is no market force to drive prices down. Why should the band take the hit to make Ticketmaster look good? Fans are going to pay what they pay to see a band, but there's no reason it shouldn't be out front an center that ticketmaster is making insane profits off of an automated service.
