    Post your washer/dryer setup

    I finally have an apartment with washer and drier hookups. I have always thought it would be a good idea to buy a quality washer/drier setup. I see commercials for fancy front-loader models but I'm not sure if that's the way to go. Should I spend some money or just go with a cheapo model? If you...

    Guess how much change...$$$

    I've delivered pizza for three years. For the past two years, when a customer said "Keep the change...", I would keep the bills and throw the change into a 5 gallon water jug. My plan was to fill up the entire jug but I finished school and got an entry level IT job. That means no more pizza...

    Kiva.org - I helped Aiub Kiykov buy some cattle

    I stumbled accross this site today and thought it was pretty cool. If you have ever heard of "micro finance", that's basically what this is. You can lend people in impoverished countries small amounts of money ($25 minimum) for stuff like goats or fertilizer. You also get all your money back as...

    My Honda's transmission broke...

    Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost of repairs? It's a 2002 Accord. The transmission broke when we were in Fayetville, AR for Christmas and it has sat there ever since. Now my GF's dad is moving and I need to do something with the car. I'm planning to have GF's dad drive it to the...

    I'm screwed...

    Hurricane Ike I live in here. \/\/\/ :cry: My city is perfectly to the east of predicted landfall... We left early, so we're in Fayettville, AR now. Everyone that stayed is being urged to leave by police. Look for my Supra floating down a river near you...:sarcasm:

    I'm a delivery driver at Domino's and I really like it alot. Last Wednesday, I came out way over on my tips. I average about $50 (tips+gas) every night but last Wednesday, I left with $140. Neither me nor my boss could believe it. We recounted my money at least three times with the same...

    Broken valve springs; My fault?

    I'm in the middle of a BHG rebuild (also my first build ever!!!) and upon stripping the head this is what I discovered. I have a few more pics, but I'm sure you've all seen your share of broken stuff. :biglaugh: Keep in mind that the spring you see is the larger portion of a Ferrea dual...

    Spooky Apartment...Moving

    The apartment my GF and I live in has been kinda spooky since day one(been there 7 mos). The building used to be someone's big house but now its split into six apartments. It's our first place together so maybe I'm just paranoid, but the place just has a spooky vibe...even in the middle of the...

    Travelocity + Outsourcing = Teh Sux!

    Well, all I can say is I'm totally amazed at the headache that booking with Travelocity caused me. I booked a room for my lady and myself on the sea wall in Galveston. I had the room booked about a month on Travelocity, and called the hotel to confirm the reservation several days beforehand...

    My new daily driver

    The body kit is definately not my style. The previous owner screwed up the stock bumper and a body kit was cheaper (so he says...:gotrice: After driving it, I can understand how ricers could think that their cars are fast. Its so light and stripped down, 70mph feels like 90.

    forged pistons, cost of labor?

    I recently ordered lots of parts to make my car go fast (headgasket, hp freaks stage1 turbo kit, new I/C, AVC-R, SAFC-II, etc.) According to 7mpower.com, forged oversized pistons and rings are necessary when approaching 500hp. Is this really necessary (60,000 miles on car)? Is...
