Other than cutting back on driving amount there are other ways to conserve fuel in just the way one drives. Hard acceleration, driving at high speeds, etc can also make gas consumption go up. An article I read said that a rule of thumb is that for every 5mph over 60mph you go you end up spending...

While your foresight might be great I believe your hind sight might not be on par. There has to have been at least 50-60 Walmart EVIL threads since the beginning of the year. ;)

Utah has been smoke free since we moved here in 2004. My daughter has asthma so it is nice not to have to worry about the smoke issue.

I think part of the problem is due to writing being in some ways a flat medium that tone can not always be determined. Also we are coming from all different kinds of places in our lives and where one person might perceive rudeness others might not see the transgression (it has already happened...

Last I checked all did have plates. The four vehicles on the street are driven normally at least once a day. From what I can tell there are 3 familes living there. Mom and dad and then two of their adult children's families if not more.

I wish this were the case, especially with snow removal. Because of the cars parked on the street the plow only does the center lanes of the street. Years ago at least during winter no overnight parking was allowed and the plows did the whole street (Our other neighbors filled us in on this)...

I had it on my neck once. I treated it with Lamasil and it cleared up within a week. The trick is to keep using the cream for at least 4-5 days past when the redness goes away or it will come back. At least it happened to me that way.

We live in a residential area. Houses with decent lot sizes, but not a great deal of frontage on the street. Just recently our neighbors started parking a newer (has temp plate so recently purchased) car right in front of our house. Now this is the sixth car that these neighbors have. Two in...

What I find funny is that even my original birth certificate doesn't have a raised seal. It has a multicolored stamp. These leagues are really getting a little out of hand. Even the school system here only needed a photocopy to keep on file, but did want to see the original when that copy was...

I think the ambulance chasers also bring the profession down. I have had many friends who were lawyers or in law school and never thought of them as scum, but when I was in a big wreck the chasers were coming out of the woodwork. I got probably 3 to 4 calls and letters a day for a few weeks...

So far for this year I am averaging about 54hr per week. Last year 52hr per week. We don't get overtime but we do get straight pay for all of our hours.

Interesting story....because I was the guy from your story a few days ago. It was a fun blowing snow kind of day and we needed a few things from the store so I let my wife out at the door and started my circling routine of the lot because if you park you can not see the door easily. I pulled all...

We are definately much lower salary wise. I mean I make a good salary, but I am a research chemist. My buying power is probably pretty similar here versus if I worked the same job in NY or California probably better. I have no idea why it costs so much more back east. We have state income tax as...

I believe that more money does not equal better education in many respects. I just looked up scores from the NAEP and for math NY: 243 UT: 239 and Reading NY: 224 UT:221. Now national ranking put us about 20 spots below NY based on those and other scores, but I feel my daughter is getting a...

In that $60-70 a month is our irrigation, house water, sewer and storm drain fees.

Yeah here in Utah on a 2500 sqft 0.25 acre I am paying just under $1000. We bought the house last year for $200,000. Sure I pay my own trash and water, but trash is only $8 a month and my water isn't too bad at around $60-$70 a month.

Yes but for those of us in our 30's there is no guranteed income even from the current SS system. I plan just like others here have said that there will be no SS for my wife and I in the future.

I think part of the problem and one that hopefully gets addressed is that the Nielson way of rating TV shows is becoming obsolete. Now I am not saying people are not watching the reality trash becase we know they are, but they might also be watching the good shows as well on DVR or on downloads...

Bills!

I think in some ways it does matter. A friend of mine in grad school became a US citizen during our time there. She was from Romania. I am paraphrasing her and she put it so much better than I will here, but she said even though she was now a US citizen and loved the US greatly that Romania...
