  1. Almost anything will be better than continuing to send $1,450 / month the the CC companies. Any other option will probably still require ~1k / month to make real headway in paying the debt off. I'd probably choose 401k loan with a 4 or 5 year term first with some form of refi with cash out with a 10-15 year term as a 2nd option. Assuming it's not a problem that you expect to reoccur, but if overspending is an issue that obviously needs to be dealt with first or this will end up worse than it is now. Agreed, on the kudos for speaking up. Good luck!!
  2. I used givemethevin.com a couple of years ago. Sent them some pics, answered a few more questions and they even worked with the dealer I was buying from so that I got credit for the trade-in and saved on the taxes on the car I was purchasing. It was surprisingly easy and I feel like i got FMV for what I was getting rid of. It was 16-18k, not the range you are talking about though, so YMMV.
  3. Awesome. So happy for them.
  4. What kind of business are you in? I thought you were a lawyer of some sort.
  5. My best recline preventer is to direct the air vent full blast on the head of the person reclining in front of me. 75% of the time, works every time. I tend to agree that if the seat has a recline function the person in the seat has a right to use it, but should be aware of those around them when choosing whether to exercise that right or not. I generally do not recline my seat as a courtesy, but don't get bent out of shape if the person in front of me chooses to do so. I really do use the air vent thing as mentioned above if it is drink / meal / snack time though as that is a time when a little more space really is necessary.
  6. so THAT was the big open we were supposed to be wowed by?
  7. But is one of those (103.3 or 105.3 ) beating them or are the numbers just lower and being spread across other multiple stations? Kind of how all TV ratings are lower now than they were 10 years ago which were lower than they were 20 years ago.
  8. I don't even know who is on 103.3 or 105.3. Who has been beating BaD radio?
  9. I'd guess this is a bit of a nod to the fact that Corby can't carry a prime time show as the lead so Bob can stabilize and provide guardrails. Yes, I'd imagine Jake is the BaD replacement. Will be curious if they rename it.
  10. Wow, breaking up Bad Radio
  11. Sirois and Jake joining Corby and Dan Paul for the newly named Circle Jerk. One of them (probably Sirois) will eventually drop back to take Norm's spot when he retires with Mino jumping into the empty circle jerk spot at that point.
  12. My 6 year old is fascinated with football so i became a bit of an XFL expert over the weekend while watching the majority of all 4 games. Observations: - Love the in-game audio of the conversations between players and coaches. - Instant reaction on sidelines after positive (TD's, etc.) and negative (missed FG) plays is cool, if a little uncomfortable. - Cool that turnover takers get to keep the other team's ball as a trophy. - QB play is rough. - More punting than I expected, Dallas punted on 4th and less than a foot from their own 40 in a scoreless or 3-0 game in the first half. - Kickoff solution is really good. - Curious about ticket sales. Large areas of the best seats don't show any availability. I'd be shocked if those are really all sold (especially in the $100+ / seat range). Wondering if they sell those to walk-up buyers to minimize the empty seats close to the field. - All four stadiums, announced official attendance was approximately 17,500 (suspicious) - Hearing the communication between refs and replay official was interesting, process moved along quickly for the most part. - Like the 1, 2 and 3 point conversion options. Wouldn't mind having a separate 1 point PAT option that is a 40-45 yard kick. Also would like a 4 point field goal (Not PAT) from 55 and beyond. - Bob Stoops still sucks. - Never saw the much heralded "double forward pass" play. Maybe I missed it, but was disappointed it didn't play a more prominent role. - Wondered if the in-stadium fans have any option to hear any of the coach/player, player / sideline reporter , or referee / replay official communication. If not, they need to figure out a way to include the fans in the stands on that as it enhances the watching experience in my opinion. (similar to scanners at car races) Overall, entertaining enough. Hopefully they will build some momentum, avoid the urge to play conservative football and understand that pushing the envelope on offense is what people want to see.
  13. So you just pay $20/ month and it is some magic key that gets any programming with no additional fee? Sounds like I'm missing something.
  14. Enjoyed the article, well written or narrated or whatever. Not everyone's goals / motivations are the same. I'm glad he feels like he achieved his and hopefully the new goals he sets for himself will push him to continue to grow and learn like we all should. He clearly must have read the "VY destination thread" on shaggy as the most true statement in that whole article was this... "Jeff Fisher. Bud Adams. The mistakes I made. The mistakes they made. We could talk about it all day, and I don’t think I’d convince anybody to think any differently than they do now. You see Vince Young the way you see Vince Young." This is the VY I choose to see
  15. Savages Asians in the Library or hordes of Asians Fight song for either of those is already written... OHH Ching chong ling long ting tong? OHH’
  16. Not sure how we made it to page 3 without this classic
  17. Sorry to hear it. Aggressive? Prognosis?
  18. Sorry to hear it. Hoping they're able to provide you with some clear direction and that he starts feeling better soon. Hang in there.
