I agree with DF. The problem will likely go away once they''re not living in the same neighborhood. Go ahead and tell them you''re expecting. They''ll have a kid and he/she will keep them too busy to worry about what you''re doing. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/... |

Online games are the devil. I remember the 1st time I played an online game, I stayed up all night, playing for 17 hours straight. My eyes never left the screen. When I finally stood up to use the bathroom I couldn''t focus on anything that wasn''t 18" in front of me. For a w... |

At least you know where it is--no reason to not be able to get it back it seems. There is no part of my house I wouldn''t destroy and rebuild to retrieve our e-ring. That said, I also wouldn''t be upset with my fiancee if she lost the ring. These things happen, and we buy insurance... |

Need perspective, friend''s wedding
Hey folks, just wanted to bounce something off everyone here. I''m going to a wedding soon and the dress code is "formal". After my fiancee spent $170 on a dress today and seeing that a tux rental is going to run about that, I''m starting to wonder if we''re all being a little crazy here... |

I don''t know about cost-effective, but it would be worth it to me to pay extra to have the freedom to come and go as I pleased, and for spontaneity. Surely there are other places you would want to go? I would rent a car. Will you be staying in Waikiki? Hanauma Bay is by... |

$600 is not extravagant for most people here, but it really depends. How are your/his finances? Is he always extremely frugal? How big a deal is $600 relative to other expenses? Maybe you have good reasons for thinking it''ll be difficult to tell him, but if not, don''t assum... |

Think in terms of your value versus your salary, and how it compares to your coworkers'' values/salaries. If it''s above average, then absolutely you deserve a raise or bonus. But yes, you often have to ask for it. A business'' primary goal is to pay the owners, not the e... |

Age and use will impact the lifecycle of any rechargeable. Also, the balance of talk time vs. stand-by time is crucial. A new Razr has a talk time of 3 hours and a stand-by time of 200 hours, which is completely amazing to me, considering how thin it is. Motorola has designed ... |

There was a Xerox copy of an article floating around here at work a few years back. It was from the ''50s and I think it was from Good Housekeeping. It was a list of maybe 20 "tips on how to be a good wife." Next to it was a picture of a woman standing over a hot stove, all made up... |

I''m expecting a drop too, but I wish writers wouldn''t sensationalize the news so much. An 88% increase in foreclosures sounds frightening but the reality is that 1 home out of over 400 being in foreclosure is just a blip. That''s not even 1%. Wait till we hit 5%--then we''ll real... |

CC companies are usually pretty good about covering their rears. Not sure about DF''s idea, but as for the 0%, I bet dollars to donuts there''s some kind of fee involved for the cash advance. |

Keep in mind the costs of selling a home should you need to. The home has to appreciate by whatever the selling costs are if you want to just break even. Brokers will ask for 3% on both sides, so unless you get a fixed-cost broker or negotiate better terms, the home needs to go... |
