House passes the $700B+ bailout deal (updated)

In principle it's wrong to bail out the banks, and it sickens me to think private institutions driven by profits (with lax regulations) are getting picked up out of the gutter by Uncle Sam. Having said that, I think this was necessary. I too fear that without the passing of the bill, our...

Do I have to tip the movers?

It's customary, tightwad. You're either: A) Too young or too broke to move yourself B) European C) Really old and on fixed income Those are the only types of scumbags who don't tip people in my experience.

Do I have to tip the movers?

I am moving on Tuesday, although this is from state to state. I was advised to tip the loaders and unloaders $5 each before they start the job so they know you're a tipper so they'll go the extra mile... and then give them another $5/each when they are done. So, in our case, $40 in tips.

Is it true if you get two dogs, they don't get as lonely?

Wife and I have got our first yorkie about 6 years ago when we got engaged. The dog would spend half the time at my [parents] house and half the time at her [parents] house where our dog had other dogs to play with. Two years ago we got married and moved into our own place with our yorkie. We...

how much Extra and /or co-curricular is too much for a child?

Agreed. To backpedal and re-gain access to my man card, I will point out that when I said buddies, it meant female buddies. Fuddies.

Are mortgage interest rates expected to drop in about a year or so?

Not if you're shopping for the same "type" of loan. Your score is the same if you have 2 or if you have 20 different mortgage companies do hard inquiries for mortgage pre-quals during a 30 day window. However, if you have multiple hard inquiries for different types of credit, ie, credit cards...

In high school, I played 1 sport and then went to work after practice. The weekends were spent drinking with buddies and slaying virgin ass.

How'd you find your current job?

Current job (which I'm resigning within the next week) was through a family member higher up in the company. Helped me get my foot in the door for an interview. New job (starting in less than two weeks) is actually my OLD company which I left two years ago. It was mostly a college intern/coop...

My wife and I have a very nice dog stroller: Here We use it with our two Yorkies. Most of the time we'll use it in a grocery store or other place when we want the dogs to get out and enjoy a new view. The Jeep brand also has inflated rubber tires so it's great to jog with. Yes, our dogs...

Quadruple WTF. CNN's Richard Quest busted for possession of Meth

I'm not sure what gave the cop the right to search him, but it may have had to do with the big springy dildo flapping around on his foot, rope tied around his junk, and Quest saying "hey, I've got illegal drugs in my pocket."
