cetoole Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Because Christmas? Or because fried chicken? Dammit now I want some fried chicken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 ^ See the photo two posts up. I love fried chickens, just not kfc. My favorite fried chicken place is unfortunately 45 minutes away so I don't get to eat them too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 ^ I agree, but it gets bit complicated with two kids, especially when there are no other reasons to visit the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlSeibert Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Still higher in south Florida, but it was a thrill nonetheless to fill the Smart with premium yesterday for about twenty bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Around here it's $2.39/gallon. Still low enough I thought it was a mistake since I only fill my car up once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Good, perhaps our housing market will get under control so I don't have to pay as much in property taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtonowhere08 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 As far as housing market, I can only speak to my area (So. Cal) but it seems like we are headed for another bubble. The prices are going back up, albeit not as rapidly as the 2004-2008 insanity. Some of the homes in our area for sale are going for, "you want how much fucking money?..." kind of prices. Investors, speculation, and comps. The holy trinity of bending you over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Barely. It's still a good time to buy. At least, in our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadtonowhere08 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/03/opinion/betting-on-default.html This does not surprise me in the slightest. When laws like Dodd-Frank pass, you just know it is a matter of time before it gets neutered by crooked politicians and the backers that got them into power. This is not just a U.S. thing. It is a by-product of globalization and loopholes that the big players get to take advantage of. I have no problems with very wealthy people having shit loads of money; I have a problem with the mentality of it being okay to fuck over loads of people to get there. I respect small and larger companies that work toward long term goals of slow steady growth and stability, but people like those in the linked article are loathsome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 At the REI Garage Sale in Dallas. Line wraps all the way around the building just to get your ticket telling you which 20 minutes slot you get to come back and shop. Nuts.

guzziguy Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Those kinds of sales are aimed at customers that have more time than money. Jeff, I don't think that you fit the demographic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 It would not have been as bad but they allowed people to leave the warehouse with items before purchasing so the first group grabbed everything and took it out into the store to go through to decide what they actually wanted. Everything else they would just leave out there and employees or other customers would pick it up. I actually started taking stuff out of the hoarders' piles and really pissed off some hipsters but I got a few things to make it worth my time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
