In Greensboro?A weeknight with some black and tans and getting my ### handed to me in shuffleboard works.Pick a night, I'll be on vacation.I'll likely be out of town on both of those weekends, but in town all week. Need to find some shuffleboard partners.If you have frequent heavy rainstorms DirecTv is going to piss you off.If not and you like having all of the NFL games then party on Garth.
Also, week of August 6th through the 14th I will be where you are. Cornhole sir?
I did this exact thing 3 weeks ago. Saving $50/mo for the first year, and $20/mo the second. The sales guy and manager didn't really know what they were talking about though, they said they had a wireless router, but they don't so I had to pay $50 for an install of it.
Whoa...whoa...whoa....whoa.....uh, yeah WTF?In Greensboro?A weeknight with some black and tans and getting my ### handed to me in shuffleboard works.Pick a night, I'll be on vacation.I'll likely be out of town on both of those weekends, but in town all week.

I'm getting a bit more off than that, 4 free receivers (2 HD with DVR) plus 1 year free of NFL Sunday Ticket.
Ya'll are making me feel a little better. My wife left to go visit her folks and the next morning she calls saying the vehicle is in the shop and the bill is $3,200. Turns out right before leaving she went through the bank drive-thru and the Check Engine light came on and the temperature gauge maxxed out. Since the vehicle didn't instantaneously explode she assumed the gauges were wrong and everything was fine. Instead of calling me or returning the 3 miles back home so I could check it, she merrily went on a 3+ hour trip in 90+ degree West Texas heat. This happened 8 years ago and I'm still as incredulous as I am pissed.This is eerily similar to my experience. Took my then GF, now wife, camping for an annual Memorial day camping/drunk fest. First night she downs a pint of Jameson and spends the whole night throwing up. Decides to leave at about 4:00 AM and drive home by herself. Later that day, I hitch a ride for me, my dog and our stuff from another person camping. We're driving down the dirt road and there's a large protruding rock in the middle of the road, immediately followed by a trail of oil, that lasts about half a mile. My and my ride chuckled extensively about the dumb SOB that punctured their oil pan on such an obvious hazard. I finally get home and my wife isn't there. She finally shows up and yes, the poor dumb SOB was her. Seized engine.To make matters worse, sometime shortly after that, she decides that her car isn't reliable (despite having just gotten a brand new engine) and she trades it in for an OLDER, more expensive one (name brand upgrade). Of course, the "new" car ended up costing her and then me about $1700 a year until I finally unloaded it last year.I agree, but the fact that she spends money, without a care in the world, doesn't say anything or says something after the fact, and then complains that I need to take "full responsibility of the finances", is going to end our marriage just as fast as lack of sex. I'm glad she bought the tires, this is the same woman who punctured a hole in her oil pan while picking up the kids from school, and then drove all the way home. I picked up a trail of oil a mile from the house and laughed to myself that some poor schmuck was going to be pissed to find his car with no oil until the trail of oil turned up into my driveway and right under the closed garage door. Instead of blowing up, I stayed quiet just to see what she would say. It took three hours before she mentioned that I might want to check the car. She bumped something on the way home.'St. Louis Bob said:At least she spent $400 on something utilitarian. TRUST ME, it could be much worse.'Bogart said:
The first choice is a non-profit (but very successful) based here in Austin. What's the shark play here? Leaning toward waiting until about noon, then emailing the first choice to see what's up. What say you?
Ask Timschochet and then do the opposite.Got a job offer from my second choice. Told them I would get back to them tomorrow afternoon. The money is fine, the commute is very reasonable. My first choice told me they would get back to me tomorrow. The money is similar, the commute is a little longer, but manageable.The second choice is a large public corporation based in Nashville.

I figure the consensus of the GMTAN will be the opposite.
The second part of the SLB Prize Pak® Should arrive tomorrow so you might want to check for that too.
I'm in recruiting, so I guess my opinion is Werth slightly more than my opinion in any other circumstance:Call the first company around 10 AM if possible (if not, then email) go give them and yourself a little more time in the day. Tell them the truth that you have another offer that you are considering, but that they are your first choice. But that said, that you're not going to pass on the second choice to wait around on a possible offer from them.Got a job offer from my second choice.

with a bunch of Boston fans? NO WAY!!
My mom has screwed up eamil forwards before and it has been incredibly embarrassing for my sister and me.
Or you can go to White Water by yourself. Pretty sure I mentioned this already but I still keep thinking about it and it makes me angry. 2 adults, 2 kids,
Got home and fired through the 24 TiVo'd episodes (It was a British couple. I'll have to show BSR the pics when you post them.I don't get the comment from SLBD.If it was the one with the restaurant owners (Nectar), the house they bought is actually one that Mr. Krista looked at when he went house hunting. Apparently they changed their minds! We did close on a house last week. Will post pics after we go to finish all our shopping July 4 weekend.<_<Oh goodness, what else?Hey Krista, HGTV last night had House Hunters International on and there was a couple looking at houses in Granada, Nicaragua. BSR loved the place and I told him you were getting a place there and FBGs were invited.
) to find this one. The house they ended up buying is across the street from ours! One of our friends had pointed the house out to us and said it was very nice--it looked lovely on the show. The third house was on Laguna de Apoyo, which was an area I considered because it is so beautiful, but it is NOT as they claimed only 10 minutes from town--more like 25-30, on that really bad road.The realtor they used was the thief Carlos Gutierrez, who was the one that attempted to steal $22K from us. I'm going to write to HHI and suggest they not feature thieves in the future. <_<
My sis does similar at least twice a year. She and her boyfriend will have a week long series of emails on some topic and I will eventually come up because I have more in common with him than she does. He will say, "Let your brother know I'll be there around 6." She will forward a month of their intimate emails to me and say, "Mike will be there around 6." I have never told her she does this, so they are very suspicious of certain knowledge I have about them.
Mrs SLB and myself do everything together. Except sex of course.Oh yeah my brother and his wife SHARE a facebook account: "Gary N Diane Boyle" or whatever
That couple I'm supposed to marry just had a big fight because she assumed that they would go the the grocery store together all the time. I guess she and her ex always did. New guy was like WTF no.Oh yeah my brother and his wife SHARE a facebook account: "Gary N Diane Boyle" or whatever
can't pin it on just them

Jesus ####, dude. That's an odd choice of descriptors. I realize that they're technically a nonprofit, but:Seton.Which nonprofit?Got a job offer from my second choice.

Anyhow, my wife has a fair amount of experience with the small nonprofit world, so I thought I might be able to provide some additional advice, but I guess not.

My GB won't get his own account so he just posts stupid stuff on his wife's and makes fun of her. Does that count?
Yea I got that same package, except I got 1 HD DVR, 1 HD Box, and 2 regular boxes. Got the Sunday Ticket for a year, and all the movie channels for 3 mos. All for $79/mo

If you want to shell out a few bucks, you can try Intelius or US Search.
Take a bunch of Scotch Tape. Years ago I flew from Atlanta to Toronto next to William H. Macy (look at me) and he told me that that was how he entertained his girls (ages 2-ish and 4-ish at the time) on all of the cross-country flights between LA and NYC. He would always have to apologize to the flight attendants, who would have to clean up the tape that he wasn't able to clean in time, but it kept the girls occupied for a good part of the flight.
