Thanks Richard. It's funny though because I was never like that. I always liked to spend. My wife has always been better with money and I adopted some good habits from her that we now both stick to.
 
Another good method to save that we have is stocking up on inexpensive gifts. Last year we went to a huge liquidation type store that sells pretty much everything from a to z.
 
We stocked up on items that cost anywhere from a couple bucks to ten or twenty bucks, that were regularly priced much much higher, that would make great gifts. We now have a chest full of tasteful gifts for all ages, in case a birthday is coming up, that we spent about $50 on, that would otherwise cost us $300-$400 in "last minute rushed gifts."

My specialty is split infinitives.
 
That would be to boldly go where no grammarian has gone before! (Sorry - I couldn't resist!)
 
But seriously, the grammar snobs are off base on that one. The purists point to Latin as the authority on the "no split infinitives" rule but somehow they seem to miss the fact that it was impossible to split an infinitive in Latin! English is more robust and evolved.
 
Now - back to topic.

Here in Florida the gun laws are very pro-gun, someone breaks in to your house, the law assumes they are there to do grave bodily harm, thus allowing the use of deadly force, with the burden of proof on the state to prove otherwise. Someone breaks in to my house, they'll be taking them out in a body bag.
 
Kentucky has a similar statute; if someone is breaking into your house you can use "deadly force".
I believe that my Ruger P85 loaded with 17 Winchester 147grn Subsonic 9mm rounds more than qualifies...

if someone is breaking into your house ...
 
And if someone is breaking into your dealership? That would provide some exciting frontlines stories! (Hint, hint!)

11. Use cloth diapers.
 So you are saying that "Depends" give you a cloth option !

Too funny!
 
I like those choices of cars. It really tells a lot about people, seeing what cars they would like. From fast cars to buying a used domestic and pocketing the cash. I noticed not too many domestics were chosen above 15k which doesn't bode well for the D3.

Where did everyone go? by driver100

I am testing. My last post 43509 was the last one, did I offend anyone?
 
I saw an ad on TV for Towne Lincoln in Orchard Park N.Y. The ad said you can get a new Lincoln for $23,999 and that was less than a year old used one. I tied to find out more info on their website but this promo wasn't mentioned.
 
I know there is a scam going on, but I am not sure what it is? Any guesses

Why don't you give them a quick phone call for details? They will probably either tell you "It's been sold" or "Come on down!"

Do you really want ‘driver’ to make an inquiring phone call (for which we all know he’s not interested in that car) and take an “up” phone lead away from a salesperson? Hasn’t anyone around here learned how valuable an “up” call is?
 
I figured a HOST, of all people, wouldn’t be the one to proliferate such an act. Go figure.
