GRN96WS6

You don't put plywood on top of rotting plywood come on that's just plain common sense. Rip up two layers of shingles and rip off the bad plywood and do it right so you're not doing it again in a year or five.

Navy Fed here for 6ish years now and love them and their rates.

Winter is notorious for putting people in a foul mood.

Not really your business to get involved but that being said they need to have a talk about the kids and ground rules etc before they can seemingly punish the child correctly in front of her.

Cali car cover that is what I had on my WS6 when it sat out one winter and it was well worth the cost.

Chrome or firefox

Its a nice car but typically unless you put a decent amount down on the '11 you're going to lose some in selling it so soon. Why the upgrade so fast or were you waiting on the RS?

Nice change love the color.

Hell No but you said no anyway so meh If she can pay 80% off and only wanted to payoff 5K over 12 months something seems off to me.

I'm not talking thousands in support here just something to start them off with a little money providing they aren't an idiot and waste it on stupid crap. I'm definitely taking care of myself and my wife before anyone else.

Man with State Farm I got a whole new roof and siding from a hail storm, but like you said I think that has to do with the agent or the inspector who comes out to approve the replacement/repair.

Well you see Sean if I don't plan to have kids of my own why shouldn't I if possible take care of my other family if I have the means? My wife will be taken care of but if we're both making solid money and can't spend it all there is no harm in helping out the less fortunate.

If I don't have kids and I have the means I'd like to do something similar for nephews/nieces so they have a little help to get started in life. What I'm most afraid of is them not having the knowledge to know what to do with let's say 10K at age 18, since I'm not raising them I can't control how they learn how to handle money and not everyone has the same outlook regarding it. I'd be most afraid of them pissing it away or their parents getting a hold of it.

I like the new XPS15Z its sleek runs well and would last a number of years for basic computing.

Pretty much any aftermarket warranty there is an 800 number to call and as long as it is a certified service center the work will be covered. Now some are more picky then others and try to dodge the bullet of paying out on things but that's a fight you'll have to make when/if needed.

I have one on my scion but if I don't use it they give me the money back, providing they are still operating next year I'll be getting around $1400 back I think. I've bought one twice once with my WS6 which was definitely used and I'm glad I had it and now with the scion that I haven't used yet.

As long as you check your bag alcohol in it is fine just be sure to cushion it as I had a bottle of Patron silver bust on me once....had to toss that suitcase The riverwalk is nice for a romantic dinner with the wife I think but I'd think after a day walking it you'll be over it. The alamo was meh to me I was expecting more honestly.

Ugh I use an iPod on wireless and I can't count how many times the damn safari or dolphin browser has crashed on me

Take note that this is only as good as the person/people putting it in. Bad data in bad data out, no data in no data out etc...

Its the whole notary thing on base and being a contractor and not sure how that works. Plus trying to have people find the original paperwork etc....

Seeing these rates makes me realize I need to refi damn! I could likely drop to a 15yr and keep the same payment! Hopefully the rates stay low until May.

LOL not even close I don't HATE it but it is NOT my dream house. Luckily a hail storm jacked my metal siding and roof so that is new within the past 18 months but the inside while redone wasn't done right so I need to redo carpet, paint, bathrooms, and kitchen just to make it able to be sold or attractive to a potential renter. I'm figuring doing the work myself as much as possible will still run me 40K or so. It is in a development with neighbors closer than I'd like but I bought what I could afford and of the 60 homes I looked at this was the best deal at the time. I live around DC though so our market might recover faster then some areas. It does hurt and is one of the reasons I'm in Afghanistan as a contractor for 18 months so I could get rid of all debt but my home. I'll come home with only a mortgage and be able to hopefully knock it down some with a quickness so I can get out of it or at least use it as a rental to move into someplace else. I want to be like Tim 42 and own my home or at least have a SMALL payment on the second home or a vacation home. I hear you on it setting your goals back I'm there also but I'm still sucking it up and waiting it out, as I'm not ready to move right now anyway so it wouldn't make sense to take the loss right now. I hope within 2 years I'll be ahead and within 5 I'll either be out or using it as a rental. I'm also like you been through lay offs and etc so I'm more stingy with my money and invest more then most people my age so that I don't have to struggle in the future.

Tim has some good suggestions. I'm about 60K upside down so I feel your pain but I could never walk away call it pride or whatever but no way I could do it. I've read Dave Ramsey's books and his mantra makes sense. I'm working on getting my g/f to understand that do we can have fun later in life while not foregoing it now as well. I'd stick it out man but you have to do what is best for you and yours.

Kirk aren't you concerned not having it anchored?

They definitely use salt in and around DC, I've lived there for 24 years and we definitely use salt.
