Really like- rate per mile on the shorties. $50 & $75, a few times even more, for runs of a few miles. Like- I can use an older model van. Most runs are pre dispatched the night before. Will let me use my car if they know the package is small enough. Raised my rates twice w/out me asking...

Congrats on your marriage. Some of the ideas on here are pretty good. When I lived in Vegas I always made sure that I took any visitors to Hoover Dam. Not only is it a magnificent structure, it was one less day they could lose $$$ in the casinos. Another thing that may appeal to you is...

And a few more- That's what i'm talkin about!!!........Good job USA!!! So far has 10 agrees, 9 disagrees and Hooyah, SEALs! Outstanding. So far has 6 agrees, 7 disagrees. If that's the support we're getting from Canada I can only imagine what it's like in the rest of the world.

While we're mostly happy here in the US, the feeling isn't universal. Even in Canada the support that I thought we'd get isn't there. At the time of me reading this comment, it had 10 who agree w/ it & 8 who didn't. The comment posted was: What a great way to start the...

Sorry for your loss & good looking dog. I can understand the tears. I've cried 2 times in my adult life. Both were over the loss of dogs. Be well & hope your heart mends.

Great. Give $$ to who will want to blow us up in 5 years. They prolly wanna blow us up now. They're just playing nice because they need our help. As much as what's in there for Libya is a crock, it's probably better for us that he is. It was the same w/ bush in Iran. Hussein & al...

I went to the doctors office for the first time in a long while. This isn't worthy of a 60 Minutes expose, but I found it to be interesting for reasons other than what my ailment was. My ailment is simple. A rash. Doesn't hurt, doesn't itch, doesn't bother me, it just hasn't went away. He...

From Cheri: A refund of 50% of annual income? I don't believe that - got proof? When I was a single parent, claiming the earned income credit, I never got a refund anywhere near that, and I barely made enough to pay the bills. Do I have thier income taxes to show on here? Of course not. What...

I'm inclined to think he actually is an American Citizen. It does seem odd though at how an issue like this could linger for so long. I also think if the guy wasn't doing such a terrible job that it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Cheri, there actually is a black market for food stamps. I've seen people buy a bag of chips w/ $20 in food stamp coupons & get the cash back. Then they go buy whatever they want w/ the rest of the money. I don't think everyone who's poor is lazy. Not even close. At the same time I don't...

Cheri, replying to ya bit by bit.

Are those current numbers? If they are, I'm impressed. I'm asking because in this area those numbers used to be obtainable but now it's not even close. One Dominos I worked at in the 80's we used to be bummed if we "only" made $60 a night. Most nights were around $80 & every now & then...

The comments about getting rid of the EPA are what led to this post. Most of us agree we need to cut spending. But where do you feel we could best tighten our belts as a country? If you were President for a day, what cuts would you make in spending? Also, why would you make these cuts...

Scott, you hit that one right down the centre.

Very interesting observation. Ironic you'd bring that up. No drugs but we've thought maybe depression. "We" being a few of his other friends. However, he seems happy. The thing that makes us think it's not depression is this was a planned happening. He's never shared anyone's personal tax...

Gotcha. No place is perfect, some less perfect than others. I misread what ya meant. My bad.

Right, if he was to make that, pay off his house, & live frugally. Live off the interest so to speak. The reality of it though is that people who make money tend to spend it along the way. In his case ya could see the progression. From college where he lived w/ his folks to small house, to...

#3 in residential sales. 120 or so houses sold. That's county, not country. No idea where he ranks in the country. Not sure what the average home in this area is, but I'm guessing 80-100,000 at that time. 3.5% commission (split w/ his broker) on most homes, .. $265K sounds about right...

The way you say it "the negative guys & the honest ones" makes it like if ya don't say great things are you're not honest. I started out as a positive guy. I even came on this site & said good things about the place. When the fuel shot up I didn't expect the company to eat the whole thing...

I delivered pizzas, worked for a messenger/courier company, & if ya count newspapers when I was a kid, that too. The messenger job was in Chicago. I used my car, not a bike. That one was brutal. I had delivered pizzas before here in Michigan & went back to it-in a suburb of Chicago- after...
