That's good - $70 a month is a lot of money to save, and as you say, it can go towards paying for other essentials.

Honestly, I sometimes wonder if insurance companies just pluck figures from thin air. Each time my policy is due for renewal, I get a new quote from that company which is nearly always higher than the previous year, even though I've never made an insurance claim from them. This means I'm changing from one company to another every year.....whichever offers the same level of cover for the cheapest price.

If there's one thing I've learnt throughout the years is that loyalty never pays with these companies.

Category: I-didn't-need-to-see-that. I've notice an increase of butt cracks at work. It's usually guys usually wearing slim or skinny jeans/pants that sag in the backside area. They look ill fitting, and not very comfortable to wear.
I understand the need to follow fashion but if your pants is showing crack it's just, you know, gross.

PRECISELY. As the saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute. Anyone that does enough research knows there's deals to be had all year long.

I kinda have to giggle a bit at all the Black Friday activity. It seems like nothing but a bunch of running around, standing in lines out in the cold and keeping late hours just to have a shot at saving a couple of bucks and yet people don't calculate the time, energy, gas and overall wear and tear just to do so. If there's something I want, there's a particularly good deal on it that I can't get any other time of the year and I have a few extra bucks, I'll spring for something but mostly it seems like a lot of people that buy garbage just cuz it's a good deal and end up just acquiring more crap.

I'm a big BFer, but I do tons of research and I try to do as much as I can online nowadays. Mainly for me, though, I'm buying children toys and movies. I rarely go on bigger ticket items, aside from a PS4 last year.

Yep, that seems like the smart way to do it, brother (especially since you're buying kid stuff)! I too sprung for a PS4 BF deal a few years back.

WTF?
On another website, someone was asking for GameCube game recommendations and I suggested Darkened Skye and got banned for Spam!

Darkened Skye is a real GameCube game. I was giving a recommendation as asked in the OP.

>>15709224
Me
>>15709385
Also me, but why the **** was it reported?
The original Wii had a slot for GameCube Memory Cards and Controllers. Later models didn't. At least for the Memory Cards. I don't know if they dropped the Cube Controller ports.

I was asking if the Wii needed those in order to properly play the Cube Games.

I should not have been banned

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway"

let it go from disney's frozen [2013]


This is a catchy song.

It's not the East or the West side
No its not
It's not the North or the South side
No its not
It's the Dark side
You are correct
Keep fronting the Empire
To all you Vader haters out there
We'll blow your planet up!
