    I'll be off-shore for the next 3 days.

    Awesome! How far out did you go? Back in the late '70's/early 80's my dad would go out on the Red Rooster for 15-day trips down to Clarion/San Benedicto/Socorro islands in Mexico and bring back a car load of yellowfin, albacore, and wahoo....oh, the memories of that fresh goodness from the sea!

    Targeted by Employer - Random Drug Screening

    Here's my "random" story: When I was in the army I was the screening NCO for my unit. Once a month I'd pick a number between 0 and 9 (I used a 10-sided die) and you were tested if your SSN ended with that number. One day my first sergeant called me into his office and said he wanted a screening...

    Getting a loaner car for Honda air bag recalls

    Yes, Honda is picking up the tab. Coincidentally, the Honda dealer called her today and informed her that the parts are in to replace her Ridgeline airbags.

    My sister-in-law was able to get a rental while she waits for the airbag for her '08 Ridgeline. She has had the rental for over two months now.

    Switching away from USAA auto insurance, suggestions?

    I switched from USAA in 2010 after 13 years...they just couldn't compete with other quotes I was getting. At the time, and for my location, Allstate was the best so I went with them until last year when I called around and guess what? USAA had the best rates again. Sometimes you just need to...

    What's your work commute? POLE!!!

    I roll out of bed. Sometimes I work at a desk in my bedroom, sometimes at my dining room table so there could possibly be a flight of stairs involved.

    Most bizarre moments in your life

    I too have a VW story. I was driving on I-15 from LA to Las Vegas back in the early '90's and was in the middle of nowhere between Barstow and Baker. Up ahead I could see black smoke billowing into the sky. Got to the source of the smoke and there was an old VW Beetle totally engulfed in flames...

    Anyone own a Kia?

    I have a 2016 Sorento SX-L AWD with the turbo 4. For me it was between the Sorento and the Highlander Limited Platinum. The price for the two was about equal but two things won me over with the Sorento: 1) Nicer interior materials/overall quality of interior and 2) the seats are much more...

    too much road noise - tires?

    I replaced my OEM Michelins on my '09 TL with Continental ExtremeContacts and they were not only much quieter and smoother but they handled wet roads better than the OEMs handled dry roads. Unfortunately I picked up a nail in the sidewall on one of them and nobody (even TireRack) had them in...

    Cool Pics from Denver Post: Frontier Life

    Degree for job in IT security

    Here in the DC area the CISSP has become something of an eye-rolling joke -- seems like everyone and his brother has one. It's probably due to the fact that the military/government civilians get sent to CISSP classes (even when they don't do anything with security) and then get the cert...

    The difference between porn today and retro sex is less hair nowadays....

    The difference between porn today and retro sex is less hair nowadays....

    100% agree. Some of the 70's movies were actual productions with plots and scripts and the girls could actually ACT and be slutty. I turn the volume off with today's crap so I don't have to listen to fake orgasms and girls with an IQ of 20.

    what would you do in this driving scenario?

    Using a hypothetical 20 mile commute and traveling at a constant speed from door-to-door, a 5mph difference is about a minute and a half. I'm not personally the type of person to let that small difference affect me so I would simply pass on the right when possible. Besides that, I have the type...

    USAA is just awesome

    I still keep money in my USAA savings to keep the membership alive and take advantage of discounts, esp. the rental car discounts. I dropped my auto and homeowners insurance with them though. They wanted $1800/year for 100/300/100 on an '09 Acura TL and '07 Civic Si for two 39 year olds with no...

    What am I missing?

    The ; after the first if ends the statement. The next statement resets x to 0. The next if-else is testing x against 3 but it is 0 so it adds 2...therefore, x = 0 + 2 or simply 2. If the ; wasn't placed after the first if statement the condition to set x to 0 wouldn't be met and x would still...

    Last time I paid rent was $1079 for 2bd/2ba in Lake Ridge (Woodbridge) VA about 5 years ago. I bought a TH down the road a few miles in Montclair and the other rents in the area for a 3bd/3ba TH with garage go for about $1600+.

    how much debt you owe? now with POLL

    Pretty much the same for me. Paid off my house earlier this year, use the credit cards for the rewards and pay them off monthly and own my cars and motorcycles.

    Ever wonder why DC natives freak out about snow? THIS is why

    I thought about that the other day when I drove by a store and it was packed. I generally have a case of soup on hand anyways but I thought it would be funny if these people that cleaned the store out lost power and all of the food they bought got spoiled.

    I don't have a sympathy card for poor 6 figure people

    My wife and I make decent money but we have a simple rule: if not's a house to live in, pay with cash (or credit card that gets paid in full monthly). If I don't feel comfortable with how much something costs and what it will do to my finances, I don't buy it. Damn that "lifestyle" BS.
