His dad was a pretty decent player at the U!  A bit undersized as a linebacker, but could really hit.  Surprised Nico is not going to the U unless they were not interested in him.

Rent to own locations are a rip off as well!  You wind up paying 2 to 3 times what the item is worth (at the start & even more over time as these items depreciate over time)

Another positive to not checking bags.  When you have to make connections, you don't have to worry about your luggage making it to your destination.  You have it with you.  I had someone flying in from Texas that left late & had to run thru the airport to make his connecting flight.  He made it-his luggage did not.  It...more

Gorcery cards work as well.  Kroger offers a loyalty card that accumulates points to use for discounts at the gas pump.  For every dollar you spend, you get a point.  When you accumulate 100 points, you get 10 cents off a tank of gas.  You need groceries, you need gas.  A win-win situation.

Another thing is to do mail order.  I get my prescriptions a lot less cheaper for a 90 day supply thru mail-order as compared to a 30 day supply thru my pharmacy.  Of course, the insurance company jacked up the cost of going thru the local pharmacy so we were forced to do mail-order.

Doing without insurance is not the smartest idea.  Sure, you save money, but what happens if you have a catastrophic illness?  14 years ago, I was stricken with pancreatitis.  No warning, nothing.  I started hurting real bad & drove myself to the ER.  I remember being admitted & being wheeled down the hall-the last thi...more

Doing without health insurance is like Russian Roulette.  July of 1998 I was stricken with pancreatitis & spent 6 months out of work.  During that time I had 3 different hospital stays & 2 surgeries.  The first stay was for 49 days, 38 in ICU.  The hospital stay ALONE was 238K.  Without health insurance, we would be pa...more

BTW, it was an African-American teacher that gave the question to the class!  He'll get a pass.  But, God forbid if a white or Hispanic teacher does it-there's hell to pay!

Maybe they should take this heifer, put her on a spit, barbecue her & feed her to starving people across the world.  Sure would take care of hunger in the world!
