Well, sir, I believe you just asked me to leave your forum. Thanks folks for the hospitality you've shown. I wish you all the very best. ps Keep being a centrist Ragman - the world needs that. :)

Who was proven wrong and what are you talking about? The econ thread where Turtle explained that a one sided argument sets off his BS meter so he proceeded to give an astonishingly one-sided explanation of a complicated event? Look. If you're ticked that I laid into you a bit, please...

That's the beauty of S&T and why we'll miss it. You could d/l poi files and know where every weigh station, or rest area, or Walmart, or Truck Stop was. And I love that when I find a good overnight sleep spot or great restaurant I can save it for future reference. Lately I'm falling into a...

You'll be there soon. It's like having something to look forward to, only not so much. :)

Re: Forget I bothered Serving food for tips is hard work. I'm a $2 guy. My usual restaurant meal is breakfast and ranges from $8 up to maybe $12. I'm happy to leave $2, occasionally more. Waitresses work hard and I usually assume they've got kids they're trying to feed.

Young at heart (in an implanted device kind of way). :)

The 'F' word is featured prominently so don't click if bothered by it. http://www.buzzfeed.com/katherinemiller/bloooood-feuuuuuud# So funny. So many great one-liners. :) It's nice to see sanity is at long last returning to conservative America. <-- sarcasm It's worse than I thought: 4 1/2...

Ahhh but you miss the ingeniousness of my handle. It provides the perfect way to separate the genuine idiots from the imposters. Btw, here's your sign. :) What? That's all the Trailer Park Uprising I get? I feel like Rodney Dangerfield. I can't get no respect. What's funny is the number...

Good one Ragman. I never know what to watch. Office Space for the 43rd time? :)

What a one sided explanation for the banking meltdown. Turtle, you totally left out bankers bellying up to the feeding trough and getting their fill while socializing the risk. They'd write mortgages, package them and sell them to Wall Street profiteers. They didn't ask for nor check...

You can pick up a kill-a-watt for around $20 and see what's happening load-wise. Kill-A-Watt Electricity Monitor-P4400 at The Home Depot My hunch is Turtle is right and the a/c is just getting old or needs service. I've got the same gen and it starts and runs my (new) 8,000 btu a/c in eco mode.

Now that's funny. :)

Happy birthday Dave!

Exactly. But doing it yourself usually requires a little ingenuity, and that's the fun part. Maybe not at the moment :) , but later on when you look back on it.

Isn't this called pooping where you sleep? Conservatives Purposely Making Cars Spew Black Smoke - Business Insider

Why did it take so long to become a problem? The introductory rates that sucked people in typically lasted for 2 years or less. How did people stay current with their mortgages all the way through the 90s and up until 2008?

Just look at the stock market? I don't follow. Are the fringe saying the market is up because they insist inflation is up??? Yeah I heard something about them changing how the index is calculated. Is there an index that isn't reworked from time to time, from the Dow Jones right on down? So...

I like checking out vans for how they employ "hillbilly" APU setups. Not joking - I love that stuff. Generator in a box up front, a/c unit sticking out of the roof right in front of a satellite dish and fantastic fan. Some kind of discharge hose thingy hookup on the side. Hmmm Wonder what...

I followed your link OVM and I'm surprised no one has suggested that's a revisionist site. I don't know one way or another but my BS Detector went off pretty good when I noticed the author didn't quote Jefferson or refer to letters or other documents written by Thomas Jefferson. He just seems...

Dave - I linked to the article because once again you were referring to inflation by talking about the "rising price of X" and that made me think of that article. Why not refer to official inflation numbers? Consumer Price Index, 1913- | The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Inflation? Not...
