I don't have cable or gamefly or DVR... so, you know... not so bad... right?
And it's not like I'm skimping on food. The Juice & Salad™ Diet ain't cheap!
"But people stress about about their grocery budget yet don't blink an eye at what they pay monthly for internet + cell phone + cable + netflix + xbox live + DVR subscription."
Who... me?
I spend so much I am embarrassed to figure it out.
If you ever feel guilty about it, just imagine me, drinking champagne and eating oysters and think to yourself, "Well, I'm glad I'm not that asshole." This works for everyone except myself, but I …
Curt and I recorded a special correspondent report on the boat for BFOT. I don't want to give away too many spoilers but I had quite a bill this past week for alcohol drink purchases.

It's not fair to compare Amazon to Powell's... you have to imagine the desolate small town that was super excited to get Barnes and Noble. Not that the ends justify the means, but Amazon does much more for b…

Also, great betting by everyone at the Holiday Party! Thank you all for indulging me,
