What about consolidating high interest rate credit cards to a 0% or low interest card? Why isnt that legit? I used to do this pretty regularly when I had credit card debt.

Generally speaking consolidating your loans can def save you money, sometimes a lot of money, but you have to do it the right way.

Just because he wasnt very good at explaining his situation here automatically makes him a douche? Jeez you guys are tough sometimes lol

Thanks, I actually had a cooling pad for years but the fans crapped out. Maybe I should just replace that for now instead of shelling out $1k +/- to build a new desktop.

I have personally been using a really decent laptop for a desktop for years now. I doc it up and it acts as a desktop with external monitor/keyboard etc. The issue I have is when I am on it for a while or doing ANYTHING more than doc editing or web browsing, it starts to run pretty hot. The fans run at 100% constantly. I clean the hell out of it, but cant seem to get it to the point that it can properly cool itself all of the time. This particular laptop has a dedicated vid card that Im sure adds to the heat issues (as opposed to integrated). With that said, I'd suggest looking at building(piecing together) a desktop unless you really want something you can grab and go with all of the time. For you OP, since you already have a laptop, Id say def go desktop this time around. That way you can use the desktop to host all your music/pictures/vids, you dont have to worry about dropping the laptop and having a HDD failure. You can have the reliability of a desktop and use it as a server if you want. You will also be able to run more demanding applications if you want, including heavily resource taxing games if needed. Obviously, if you dont want to piece together and build one yourself you can go and grab something thats pre-built...

I still play a few nights a week. My last 25,000-30,000 hands have been break-even tho. Frustrating. Also, we had another child in Sept and he still isnt really sleeping all that well so my time spent playing has gone down considerably and I havent committed to any tournaments the last few months as a result, just cash.

Newport RI is nice too. Edit: I see you picked a location. Enjoy it down there. I did a week trip to a cabin about 5yrs ago it was great, really good fishing on the river too.

If you want to shoot rifles, you should check out range 14 at Ft. Dix. I live in Howell, its about a 40 min ride, but only $60/yr I believe for a membership. And its outdoors which is nice when shooting rifles.

like a fucking cat. lol me and my wife just looked at eachother and started cracking up. Its like they didnt even try to make it look real.

That van scene. WTF lol

never knew you could do that (with spacers...)

Nice lol

Im trying to figure out exactly how to analize the data on that site...

So much for 2 of the golden rules.. lol

I would just wait. You have years and years ahead of you to buy something. While my 7 year old daughter is interested, I know she isnt yet mature enough. Getting a 7 year old to sit down and talk about something serious for more than a couple minutes is a huge challenge. At least for me it is, and my daughter is very intelligent. She just isnt ready yet. Some are at earlier ages, but you will have more than enough time to pick up something for her before she is ready...

I used to shoot there every-other weekend or so until we bought a house and had a 2nd kid. THe last year or so I can count on 1 hand how many times I have gone shooting. I would love to get out there soon again, tho Im sure my membership expired quite a while ago. Now is prob a good time to go tho before it gets SUPER cold. I would be interested in meeting some people out there...

^ lol!

realistic or what?

Country or not, you dont know Guns & Roses?

stated value classic car insurance as well sometimes

Shield, since it seems you dont have a small carry-able pistol in 9mm. (unless you consider the p238 as one) edit: well it seems you are going to sell the sig, so yeah, shield.

lol Kings, you are a producer as well I assume? getting a little OT here i guess... If I make my switch to the new agency, I wont have to deal w/ UWs anymore, service and rating department for that

lol damn right sir. This. Not only that, but a report only could actually still hurt you. Maybe not initially, but if you end up having another claim somehwere down the road the co may look at you as higher risk. Def keep ins out of it if possible. Like I said, get an estimate, present the estimate to your neighbor to see if they will foot the bill or at least split it with you. Then its up to you to hire someone to do the work, or just do it yourself and use the money to pay for your own labor.
