Thanks for the heads up though, I didn't realize.

any suggestions about the car situation?

[Tmax98 3]

and what are u doing up so late?

[dem beats 1,223]

dear god. I'm so tired. Sean, what would you recomend for a really inexpencive coffee set up? I know you mentioned a site one time...

What is inexpensive?

Ha.

Well what I want is to be able to pull quite a few ounces a day. I would probably use it daily. Some days several times. I would also assume the folks I live with would like to have some too. I'm not really sure what I should expect to spend 1,000, 700, 500?

I am learning that the grinder is the one thing you cannot skimp on.

How easy to use?

The Rancilio Silvia is a good budget machine, but really benefits from a grinder like the Macap Stepless. Near $1k for the combo.

Thanks! I will look into those and go from there.

Obama is spewing Bullshit... I'm sorry

If he raises taxes for people/companies only making over $250,000 whats going to happen? The companies are going to pass their losses on to the lesser people which means the people that make less than 250k will feel the tax.

*disclaimer- McCain is spewing some bullshit too lol not trying to be bias*

It's ok to be bias. feel free to have your opinion.

That may be true and it may not. One good thing about our society is that if companies raise prices to make up for losses, people will find the product cheaper from another company, perhaps a smaller, start-up type place. Or mom and pop shop. Which that would be good for us. But if the big company has a large market share or near monopoly that probably wouldn't happen. People would just bitch and moan about it.

But really I think it's a decent idea. People who make that much money deserve it, IMO. Are they working a lot harder than you/me to earn 100 times the pay? In 99% of cases, no. But for companies I think it's tough. We don't want to penalize those that expand and grow because that's what the market is all about. But then it's those companies that make that much just by having a huge market share or what have you and gouge the consumer that I hate.

I have this thing about always seeing situations from both sides and hardly ever being able to decide which is better. It's a curse.

250k is way too low. Go out and survey what small businesses make and really hard working individuals. When you put your heart and soul into something versus someone who glides by you shouldn't have to pay a tax penalty. These are NOT the people we want to demotivate. The end result will be that everyone suffers as all goods will end up coming from overseas someplace if we demotivate the wrong sector.

I agree to an unmeasurable amount. It's bullshit to penalize those that strive to get ahead. I dealt with that in school. I wasn't allowed to skip a grade or get post secondary options the same as anyone else on my classes. My mom wasn't on welfare so I got put to the bottom of the lists, forget that I tested in the top percentiles of the nation. That helped me to motivate myself to drop out of school and start working full time. Really a bad idea on my part, but definately drives that point home.

We shouldn't hold back those willing to work hard and excell at something.

You can see Josh's car, pre-Firebird. The Espirit. I realize this isn't like a pile of Lambo's exiting a lot, but we know a few of these people.

I love to see NSX's. It was like my childhood fantasy car. I grew up with allot of rice grinding guys.

Now I want a porsche though.

I have been lost in that area before too! Verry cool to see local vehicle.

ahhh reading day. actually was able to catch up on some sleep and my body is thanking me.

[dem beats 1,223]

good morning! There are a lot of non branded phones out there that could be a great option. I am really big into mobile devices and such... what do you want out of a phone? What features would you like to have and what means nothing to you? Mobile music player built in, internet, audio clarity?

Problem is that it has to be an Alltell phone or it won't work, all the cool stuff is GSM and alltell is CDMA.

Not currently, the farm still picks up the cell phone bill since I still work there and use the cell phone for work.
