  1. We get basic/expanded through our HOA. Other than that we dont have cable internet or digital. I have subscription through an English cable company that lets me stream my Chelsea games. We use netflix via mail. Thats mainly it.
  2. The money was there to pay the balances before anything was charged on them. I went from 72 and 84 hours a week down to 30 hours in 2 days time. I had been making the other hours for most of the 2 years preceding that. Paying ahead on other bills, namely house, insurance, car, and utilities became priority. Cant have those taken away. Still made the payments on the cards for the next three months. Until my hours were cut to twenty and the tax man cleaned out my remaining accounts. I see nothing irresponsible about having my hours butchered like that when I had the money to pay the cards.
  3. Just 9 out of 10. So how does it feel to be the 1 percent? I never had problems paying them back either, until work went south. They were all paid on time every month. Work dived down and suddenly I couldnt make the payments. Then the interest rates got jacked through the roof coupled with late fees and what have you. Was I being irresponsible with the cards? No I was not. Ive had cards for the last 11 years and never had a problem in the world with them until January of last year. I was doing everything I was supposed to, paying on time and not over spending, and got slammed with hard times. Having credit card debt doesnt mean you are being irresponsible.
  4. We managed to get ourselves close to 26000 in debt with those stupid pieces of plastic. Well that coupled with my hours being cut in half at my old company. Be careful with it. I promise you it can get out of hand faster than you know. As for BofA. When we got behind they kept having calling me from a call center in India. Im sorry but I cant for the life of me understand what they are saying. After the fourth week of this I informed the person on the other end that if they were going to keep calling from overseas, I had better have a Asian woman calling me from then on. I can understand them just fine. Well sure as the sun rises, every call I have had from them for the past 3 years in regards to anything account related has been by an Asian woman. Or at least a lady with an Asian sounding name. I was actually kind of impressed that they actually did what I asked.
  5. Happy anniversary homie.
  6. Well I had the monkey locked and chained up for most of last year. I spent less than 200 dollars last year on bass gear. Well the monkey chewed his way through the chains. I dropped a hundred and sixteen dollars on crank baits yesterday. They were some Daiwa cranks that were marked down to 3.50 a piece, 50% off sales are great. Then the fishing guy at the store saw how many I was buying and had them mark them down to 2 dollars a piece for me. Im so ashamed of myself. However these cranks look very promising to me. I will find out in a few hours when we go out on out family fishing trip for the weekend.
  7. Im gonna go haggle the price with them next friday. He told me that the reel has been sitting in there for the better part of five years now. So im not too concerned with it leaving anytime soon. Thanks for the advice guys.
  8. Thats awesome. The article said, "something was watching over those two girls." Its all cute until one of those little girls starts speaking in a raspy voice about "MaMa."
  9. Nothing penetrates better than steel jacketed rounds. Just load the mag down with JHP or alternate them with ball ammo. Just point squeeze and dump it on the intruder. Dont get me wrong I like frangable rounds. But thats just because they make a bloody gore splattered mess out of any soft targets they impacy with. If your in my home without permission Im not aiming for 2 center mass one to the head. I intend to saw you in half.
  10. I just found one at a pawn shop for 150. The dang thing looks brand spanking new. No scratches or blemishes. It cranks extremely smooth too. The shop is looking to unload it and are quite negotiable on it. Ive never seen one before. Any of yall ever used one before? Is it worth the money?
  11. A nuke no. However if you fill out all the forms and go by the book it IS possible to own any firearm that the US government owns. As well as some that they do not. Such as the Russian made AA 12 guage. The 1986 ban on automatic weapons manufactured after that year and DD manufactured after that year. Can be circumvented. Either by: A. Owning a company that manufactures and modifies firearms. Manufacture is the key word there. B. Owning a company that deals in firearms and Class lll weapons. Through dealing class lll you can import automatic weapons as demos for law enforcement and other government agencies. After paying for the demo weapon, you can either return it or hold on to it. By hold on to it, it must be stored in the place of business that holds the license. Ownership cannot be transferred or left in a will. As long as you hold the license or your corporation holds the license you may retain possession of said weapon. If you die, close up shop, or let the license expire. ATF comes and takes possession of said weapon.
  12. Im feeling lazy. Post a link.
  13. Be an electrician. No one has a sicker since of humor then construction workers. We find humor in the foulest, sickest, most disgusting things in the world.
  14. Electricians control freaking lightning! Cant none of the other jobs on here come close to that. So I win.
  15. Welcome. That ride is awesome.
  16. Electrician, Welder, and Ironworker. Im also one of the less than 100 electricians in the state with extensive pharmaceutical plant construction experience. Currently working with a heavy industrial electrical company.
  17. Gotta love the under armor. That stuff is amazing. If it just wasn so dang expensive. We bought my son some of their compression shorts, cause he wanys to wear the same kind of under wear I do. Hell I didnt expect the dang things to cost as much as mine do.
  18. 62 or 63 during the summer. We dont use the heater during the winter unless my boy tells me he is cold. Which is rare.
  19. I use them at work. I dont think theyre gonna do what you want though.
  20. Thats awesome. Congrats.
  21. Nice. That is too awesome. Amazing how smart they are aint it? Kids are dang observant of most everything. I was getting ready to head back out of town for work yesterday afternoon. My four year old son comes up to me and says, "Daddy why do you have to leave again?" I told him, "Because I got to work and make money." He looks at me thinking for a second and replies, "I guess as long as its for work then its ok. I'll get to see you on Thursday when you get back in town." Then he tells me he loves me gives me a hug and trotted off back down stairs. I aint gonna lie. He done broke my heart and made me tear up. Then I hear him telling his mom that its ok that im going out of town because I have to work and make money to take him fishing on Thursday when I get home. I think I only have to do this for five more months. It wasnt this d**n hard when he was 2 and didnt really understand what I was doing. Im starting to think being home every weekend is making it harder on me. However I would go nuts if I couldnt see him at least once a week.
