First credit card?

Well, it sounds like you are smart with your finances, so ignore all those that say don't get one. Obviously get one that has no annual fee (AmEx usually does, most others usually don't) and never carry a balance over to the next month if you can help it. When I was 18 I got a Discover...

What's the worst book you've ever read?

Moby Dick. I had to read this back in highschool. My english teacher was a fanatic about this book...really. She thought it was the best book ever written, she wore whale shirts, jewelry, the works to class while we were reading that horrible horrible book. I still cringe every time I...

YACT: Best car for around 30k?

Check out this article - I had remembered seeing it awhile ago. It will give you a general idea of what companies have more reliable cars. You need to pay to get the actual consumer report, but this article gives the highlights. Article I don't know the specific problems with BMWs, but I...

BMWs are not always the most reliable cars. What about an Acura TL?

New Compaq V2000 and HP DV1000 series watch

I got mine without the Brightview, and I do notice the inverse colors. It doesn't bother me much, though. I have not noticed any issues with the DVD payback.

what are you allergic to?

Cats, dogs, dust, trees, weeds, grass, and mold. Most raw fruits and some nuts make my mouth itch and my throat gets swollen/tight. Artificial sweeteners and MSG give me horrible headaches.

Poll: Is paying exact in cash a low class thing to do at a regular restaurant

Most restaurants have the servers "cash out" at the end of the night, rather than give the money each time a table pays. I would not say that leaving change is low class, but it is unecessary. It does not help the server since they will carry your cash and all the other tables' cash and pay it...

YAGT: The "I Need Space" thread... *update 01/08*

She's probably telling the truth. It's different for girls. If a girl is not happy, she's not going feel like hooking up - simple as that. It doesn't mean she's with someone else.

YAGT: The "I Need Space" thread... *update 01/08*

Ok, not sure if this will help you any, but I broke up with my FI almost a year and a half ago. I was 21 at the time. I had not been in a serious relationship before, he had been in 2. We dated for three years and were engaged almost a year. I basically could not see myself being happy with...

so my gf asked me for my passport number.

Why does your gf need a friend to book a hotel for you? Why doesn't she just do it herself? Seems odd.

Anyone ever made chilli with ground turkey?

I actually prefer ground turkey to ground beef in some things. It comes out more tender and less gristly. I've only ever tried it as taco meat and in spaghetti sauce, and it is really good in both.

do you think single people should be able to adopt children?

YES! There are way too many kids who are in need of adoption. The conditions of foster care in this country are horrible. The child will grow up way more messed up if they go through the government system than living with a single parent who doesn't get PAID to have them around.

The tallest bridge in the world: Viaduct de Millau

Here's your reason: "This is cheaper than the alternative of tunnelling through the hills flanking the river, and will shorten the journey by 100km and by up to 4 hours in the holiday season, as well as removing much traffic pollution caused by continual traffic jams for local inhabitants in...
