Wow, not even 8:00 in the morning and I have already cleared out some junk from our laundry area for the recycling pickup today and have loaded my trunk with stuff for Goodwill, including an old monitor and printer taking up tons of space. Yesterday I took a van full of old boxes to the...

This is exactly what I think when I think of a beater. We have historically always bought new cars, but I will not any more. For us, it's just stupid. We are going to drive our current vehicles into beater status and hopefully beyond.

DW and I keep telling ourselves "this is the year", but we say that every year. I actually cleared some stuff out right before Christmas on Craigslist, and that is such a rush. I LOVE that feeling of turning old junk into someone else's treasure and getting some (even minor) cash in the process...

I just ordered a pair from Zenni and I am waiting on them to be delivered. I spent $23.85 TOTAL. I am really, really hoping these turn out to be halfway decent. I also only wear them at night, so they don't need to be top of the line. My son just had his frames break. Hopefully they can be...

Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2. Both are full Android tablets with access to the Google Play store, where there are countless apps available. AFAIK, the Nook and Kindles are limited to the B&N and Amazon App stores, respectively, which limits you to the apps they have. Best thing is, you can run...

I don't believe the hype. They kept telling us gas would hit $3.00 a gallon. Ya right, like that would ever happen. :rotfl2:

CGLaura has some great advice. Dumping Norton is the best advice yet :thumbsup2 Here is a good article on it: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/software-and-web-apps/how-to-make-windows-8-look-like-windows-7-50009546/ DW installed W8 on her laptop and it's just OK. Windows 7 is my favorite...

I doubt there will be any room to deal with the dealer. They have you on that contact for x per mile, and they are guaranteed to get it if you want to get another vehicle. Consider their position...they don't want a vehicle that's basically 20,000 miles over where it "should" be. I did the...

Great question. I have been thinking about this on and off for a few years. We never seem to have enough room. Not to hijack, but is this something you can rent from Uhaul or a similar place? Obviously I have not looked into it. I would much rather rent a nice one and then be able to return...

This is the exact thought process DW and went through. We ended up with a Galaxy Tab 2 7" for the kids and the GT2 10" for us. So far we LOVE them. If the Nexus lines had SD card slots, we probably would have gotten those, but like I said we are NOT disappointed in the least with the Galaxy Tab 2's.

As many have said, the first decision is simply Android vs. Apple. Each has their own "ecosystems" as they like to label them. Apple really excels at this. Basically, if you are already familiar with the iPhone or iPod Touch and iTunes, you will already be very comfortable with the iPad. All of...

We JUST got back from Universal, and just one day there pretty much paid for our membership. I used it at every restaraunt and stand. I even used it at the Hard Rock for dinner.

Middle of the week at CP would take 1 day to see and do everything. It's certainly not as big as Disney Parks, and there is not that much to do other than rides, and all those can easily be covered in one day. I would do one day at CP and one at Soak City.

I really miss watching my spare change add up. Since I started using a debit card, I hardly EVER use cash. Since I really don't like "charging" small amounts, I really do notice I spend less, since I usually don't even carry cash anymore :eek:.

I have an IBM ThinkPad that was built in 1998 and it runs like a top :thumbsup2. Since this is a budget board, I have to say that a $1,200 dollar investment in any PC at this point is a questionable one. Since consoles and PC's are rapidly merging, along with the proliferation of tablets and...

Go laser. I cannot stand buying any ink cartridges. That, and gas are the two biggest rip off rackets I can think of. Pay more up front for a laser that will do everything you need and smile every time you walk past the ink aisle in every store you go to. Kodak had smart marketing when it...

FWIW, if you want to revert your Nook back to the original configuration before the upgrade, just reboot it 8x in a row--basically power it on, wait for the Nook logo and then power it off. Do it 8 times, it reverts to factory settings. When I got my Nook, I played with it out of the box and...

I couldn't possibly agree more. I test drove a Corolla and the thing felt like it was rattling all the way down the highway. I don't see why they are so popular. At the time I was relacing a Civic, and I pretty much knew I was getting another, but figured I would give Toyota a shot. The Civic...

Thanks, that is a great tip on the top up. I wasn't sure how that worked. I can't wait to switch to VM after our current contract with TM is up. I REALLY hate being stuck in a contract.

Just picked one up. I was on the fence with the NC, but decided to get one with the free $25 BB gift card. I bought BB GC's at Kroger to get fuel points to pay for the NC at BB. Now, with the NC purchase, I should be close to another $25 BB GC from Reward points (along with past purchases...)...
