Re: CFP Rankings out - Yesterday

I watched a rare NCAA game yesterday - Texas looked unstoppable against OK St. It's really silly to try to ID the best teams out of 100s when they only play a handful of games. Sorry - some things are unknowable.

thanks guys - specifically, you haver to click on 'upgrade to pro' to get the lifetime free option. I went and did it even though I don't have a need just yet - one day I'll be saying to myself, 'If only I had a quality transcription app, I could deal with this issue. Wait a minute....'

I wanted to go shopping for 'certified used' since that worked out so well for me last time, but there is no stock at all in northern california. There is a great lack of quality used cars. Sounds like mrbigstuff is NOT in this market, but it's all related.

Re: sort of missing the days when sales people tried to, you know, sell - 3 days ago

once I realized how tight the used market was, I refused any offers on my recent sale. I just looked at KBB and chose a highish number. I WAS originally open to the idea of offers, but it quickly became apparent that I underestimated the market. Sold my car at the ask in just a few days. I should have known since I was in the market buying... but I'm glad that it got completed fast and my car is

QuotejhAfter conducting interviews, SCSO looked into the property’s electric bill. The bill came out to about $3,000 a month, SCSO said — along with a high water bill. The investigation took longer than expected due to the possibility of booby traps being laid out for law enforcement, SCSO said. Out in California, they know to look for unexplainably high power bills long before anyone compl

Re: Looking for a small camera with some zoom - 7 days ago

My little sony cybershot model DSC-HX90V was a perfect backpacking camera. Bought it several years ago used - still awesome. Tiny - fits is a tshirt pocket (but would be too heavy for that pocket). It actually has a popup viewfinder so you can take 'real' pictures. 30x zoom - has been replaced by DSC-HX99 that doesn't look any different I bet I could find a great deal on a barely used on
