    Tired as shit. Storm kept me up most the night. My friend that lives 10 miles south of me had his rear car window blown out by golf ball sized hail. No damage what's so ever on my property. Hope you are doing good up north Ryan2.

    I thought you were selling, not buying. I got confused.

    The wife is tired of her old phone (rightfully so) and wants something "new" soon. Not sure what to do as I have considered getting us both on Page Plus but she is not a fan of Verizon. I have also considered one of us on AT&T (either Straight Talk or aio Wireless) and the other on Verizon (Page Plus) but I am pretty sure that the difference in cell tech causes poor call quality. Everyone who has Verizon I never have any trouble hearing clearly and everyone who has AT&T I have problems with even when I'm the one with the bad service. Her experience has been so bad she doesn't really want android, which sucks at the Nexus 4 is a great phone for only $299 and the only other option is iPhone...

    When the laptop got stolen my mom sent me an iPad she had received from work. I always wanted to try an iPad and had a horrible experience with my Asus TF201 so I thought free would be the best time. I like the iPad apps but I really don't use them that often as I use it for surfing and most things that can be had on the Internet. However, for things more "computer" related (AKA anything to do with transferring files, etc.) the iPad is nearly worthless. It's great that my resale value will be high but otherwise it's okay. I still have a lot of "smoothness" issues that I did not expect from an iPad.

    Have I ever said how much I'd rather have and android tablet? Ironically, the best parts about my iPad are the parts google controls.

    Ordered a case for my iPad, a whopping 7 bucks.

    Finally got the design down that I want for the closet. Did a design at a place that has a nice online tool. Total price approaches $4k! Going to have to figure something else out...

    I've been busy bit trying to keep up. I got a $200 works suit from Jos A Bank and spent about $60-$80 at a good tailor to get it fitted just right and I love it. It doesn't match the material of my $150 dress pants but it is nice.PS do they make wool khakis or similar? I love my grey dress pants but all my khakis are just cotton. I prefer the feel of the woolies. The plan has been to go see Jos A Bank or men's warehous sometime soon when it's a buy one get one sale and get a new suit or two, and some other things. I just want to know that my closet will be filled with clothes to be prepared for almost any occasion. J The works collection is $200 daily. The rest are normally around $800 and there best deals are buy 1 get 3 free. However, I don't see any reason to buy 4 suits at one time myself. But, I think that you can go in with a friend and each get 2 as long as they are of similar price.

    Ha, I just bought closet maid stuff for our master today. Literally. $750 for two 6'6" sections. Includes a replacement for a dresser on one side. The stuff from Menards looks like shit, Lowe's is overpriced, the John Luis stuff at Costco looks fine, but cost more than the closetmaid at Home Depot. I sort of figured with a nearly 7 digit house than the wire stuff which I could have done for $300 would look way too cheap. We currently have about 1/4 covered in wire and it is hideous. Considering my house is all wood floors and siding, trim, etc. it pains me to do particle board anywhere. However, the inside of our kitchen cabinets are not and it shows in a few high traffic areas. I looked into doing partial custom by ordering the drawers but doing all the rest, but it didn't seem worth it.

    Since I bother you guys with everything else. Anyone look into a closet system? We have a huge master closet with hardly any useful area. Sean, I know you did that closet in your house and after seeing it I'm scared to price stuff, but I think that it is something in the house that will add more value to the house than it cost.

    Doesn't look like that is going to work. Quick check of the local Craigslist shows none in the area and the wife will need to pick it up in her car or have it shipped. She is not a huge fan of craigslisting. KirklandI did find some Kirklands and they are huuuuuuge. I would consider it if I was in the area but it comes to a point where you have to think about how much you are going to eat the food cooked on it

    All teams should be doing that.He crossed a line. While I agree, they should strive to be as healthy as possible, it's still ultimately up to them what they put in their body. They are grown men.They are grown men and they can pack a lunch too.

    Hey guys looking for a gas grill in the 300-400 range. Weber offers way less than charbroil for the price and I'm sure there is a reason. PS This is for the W's Mom.

    yeah last year i lost 45 lbs in as many days.. i even wore out a stationary bike, but igained it back QUICK and then more. so i bought anew bike, and steve mead gave me an elepital but its so damn awkward for me!!! They are akward.I cannot stress enough that you need SOME weight/resistance training in your life. When you weight train it increases your metabolic rate for longer than when doing cardio. As bigger fellows we are also prime for injury when working the cardio too much. I believe cardio has some great benefits. I am not saying to not do it. I get cardio in 3 times a week even though I am not "working out". It doesn't make nearly as much difference in my body shape. You don't have to go all uber bro science and macho, but stretching and lifting will change your physique faster than anything. Matt2 is dead on on this.. Dead on. What's crazy is I switched to weight lifting with some gymnastics holds and didn't run for forever. Down the road I ran 2 times and the second time was 4 miles, which is about my personal best. Also, I would say outside of a bike (stanionary or regular) or swimming that speed walking is king. Find your target fat burning heart rate on a treadmill (learn what 12x BPM feels like) and do it by walking in interesting places.

    Adrian, I bet your diet consisted of 2x (at least) of the veggies of a SAD (Standard American Diet) prior to tweaking.

    Yeah, don't agree with the fat is unhealthy. Quite the opposite IMO
