SquirrelFace posted:Also, once you have kids, one parent usually has to take a step back from work/ work fewer hours. If you are both working towards promotions and are at the office late, the kids are gonna be left at daycare for 11 hours a day and that's not good for anyone. Does that parent just get screwed then? Also put money in the pension fund for the parent that stays home. To make up for the lost pension growth.

There is a wikipedia author & editor who has made thousands of edits that read like that. quote:One of his stories was, that the Harpe brothers were actually cousins, William and Joshua Harper, who would, sometime later take the alias Harpe, emigrated, in 1759 or 1760, at a young age, from Scotland. Their fathers were brothers, John and William Harper, who settled in Orange County, North Carolina, between 1761 and 1763. The anti-British Crown neighbors, of the Harpers, were known as Whigs, Rebels, and Patriots. Around April or May, 1775, the young Harper cousins left North Carolina and went to Virginia to find overseer jobs on a slave plantation. I'm not the only one that has noticed his unique brand of comma abuse: correction of egregiously bad use of commas Removed some commas incorrectly placed rm extraneous commas copyedit, especially for wild comma use Removed extra commas from "Tammy and the Bachelor" item Removed several extra commas in second full paragraph Corrected excessive comma use Further readability edits, also incorporating inline citations and remove extraneous commas Excess commas removed Removed the Incorrect and pretentious commas of the poorly educated author.

I was in my favorite hole in the wall lunch place yesterday and someone started blaring some video from their phone. That poo poo happened for about 2 minutes until Vu came out of the kitchen and told him to turn it down. There are good people in this world: Vu and that guy fixing the commas. Oh poo poo top of the page: Second-hand gossip about the girlfriend who spends $500/mo on makeup, has a $1500 car payment, lets him pay for the whole weekend when they meet up (long distance military to military), but can't spare $20 because she "didn't budget for it". We're only getting half the story but this is from the guy who likes her, so take from that what you will. BonerGhost fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Here's a super dumb recommendation by Dave Ramsey for Nick in Cleveland to attack his credit card debt (rate never specified, but figure ~20% APR) by foregoing the instant 100% return he's currently getting through his 401(k) match. Debt snowball vs. "highest rate first" is one thing, but telling people to give up a guaranteed doubling of money is pretty wrongheaded.

Anyone else listen to Dave Ramsay when they want a dose of BWM? He gets some insane calls. Not that he gives that great advice, but it's still hilarious to listen to the "I've got 400k in debt, should I buy a house?" calls.

What could go wrong with a million-dollar wedding? Check out the million-dollar lawsuit.quote:Washington A-listers Joan and Bernard Carl wanted a beautiful wedding for their oldest child. And for the most part, they got it. quote:So maybe it’s not surprising that a legal battle is brewing between Los Angeles-based celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss and the Carls. Weiss, who designed the Southampton ceremony — which cost upward of a million dollars — is suing the couple for more than $340,000 in unpaid fees and expenses, plus $1.4 million in damages. The Carls claim that Weiss went on an unauthorized spending spree on their dime and is holding the bridal video hostage unless they pay her inflated bill. quote:The Carls, who have homes in Kalorama, the Hamptons, London and France, keep a relatively low profile and are horrified that the private family celebration and subsequent lawsuit, first reported in London’s Daily Mail, have become tabloid fodder. quote:Things came to a head when, after nearly 10 months of planning and just six weeks before the wedding, Weiss finally provided a detailed proposal that came in at $3 million. The father of the bride was stunned and refused to pay some charges that he considered to be wildly inflated. quote:The expenses Weiss says she paid for upfront include more than $45,000 for her staff to work the wedding, $48,000 in travel expenses, $38,000 for lighting, $10,000 for the videographer, and more. All those little wedding favors add up, too: $4,300 for totes, $5,000 for T-shirts, $1,000 for hangover Tylenol pouches. quote:The caterer and the band weren’t given a schedule for the reception. Heel protectors (which keep stilettos from sinking into the grass) didn’t work. The hired dressers had no clue how to bustle a wedding gown. The brownie station was poorly lit and sparsely attended. The bride and groom’s dogs, which were in the wedding procession, were left out of the wedding photos. Weiss didn’t have a Plan B for rain, which started to fall just before the ceremony. I believe we have behind the scenes footage from the caterer:

Taking tylenol for a hangover (because you had too much alcohol) is BWM because of the cost of liver transplants.

True, but folks attending this wedding can probably hop the organ transplant line. My favorite part is the bargaining chip of the wedding video being held hostage. Let it go, how many times are they really going to watch anyway?

Now planning ahead and having the wedding party spring for 200 Krystal sliders delivered at 11PM is a good way to head off the hangover at the pass. Does it taste good? Who cares, everyone who is eating is already drunk. edit: I know several nurses who are good at starting IVs, and have thought about starting a business where they provide a mobile IV bus in college towns. I'm sure it's BWM and BW Nursing because the insurance costs would be through the roof and giving Broheim McTequilaShots an IV just so he can get his second wind and party even harder is just asking for a death by alcohol poisoning. Maybe if it was tied with Uber/Lyft/extant cab services that aren't poo poo where they get a ride home after the hangover is averted? The logo would be a sexy lady in Hot Nurse outfit, but the actual nurses are guys in their 30s with full beards and tattoo sleeves. more edit: They may need EMS certification to administer treatment outside of the hospital / clinic. OBAMA!!
