My TV was getting some crazy lines in it...the wife had just given me permission to buy a new Plasma, then I changed the cables from the DTV box to the TV...and...no more wavy lines. No new TV...
Change the cables back.

Floor seats to see Davidson play Duke at Cameron Indoor...that should be intense

Craftsman tools - dont know how to use them but hopefully they have a fuse replacer function

And my diploma got framed which was nice, b/c if it was up to me it would stay in a folder

I gave the gift of financial freedom to all of my family :lol: 8) I gave them the audio books of Rich dad poor dad, Cashflow quadrant, 7 habits of highly effective people, and a few other books


Congrats proto that's good stuff
I'm guessing those didn't cost too much...

Of course not, that would have been a liability not an asset 8) but I'm not sure you have much room since you DID ask me for the same thing!
this is true. i was just making sure you were keeping up with your assets and liabilities :)

I realize this is winding way :offtopic ...

... but it was the original Rich Dad, Poor Dad that my wife and I used as a tool getting our finances in order back early in our marriage. I don't agree with much of what he writes as it often comes across more as pop psychology than economics. But it certainly puts you in a proper mindset and paved the way for Dave Ramsey's success. Now his column in Entrepreneur magazine is nearly worthless. He never gives any real nuggets.

I apologize again and send you all back to our previously scheduled discussion.

I like how the cop and the fireman got appliances designed simply to further our bluecollar lifestyles while the rest of you decadant heathens live high on the hog.

Stay safe brother!

BTW: the AP ran some photos of that crash which included your quarters, I believe. Or, at least one of them.

Thanks PA! That would have been a heck of a way to get a new firehouse! The plane was really close to it. Clap on! Clap off!

CC, AJ, and Tex to the Yankees. Thank you Cashman, and the Steinbrenners.

Other than that, a couple good books, some clothes, a digital camera and 24 season 5.

its even worse when you do it to a buddy. my buddies wife calls me because she knows I can work on this stuff. hey, jeff can't figure this out and he doesnt' want to ask you....can you come over sometime and look at it when he's not here....i say sure....i come over and basically clean it out becaus there is like an inch of dust on everything....it fixed all the shutdown problems.....

he comes to work ticked because he was on his way to a new plasma....that was a year ago...they still have the old tv....its not hd even (old bigscreen)
