Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Well, now that it’s been a couple days, I’m happy to report that the Iphone has magically turned on!!! I’m still going to give it a couple more days to dry out but it seems to mostly work. (It seems to have a delay when placing calls). Just in case it doesn’t come back to life fully, I’ve wiped it clean so I can feel
As you know, we ran my Iphone through the clothes washer yesterday. While that was traumatic, I think dealing with AT&T today has actually been worse. While the customer service agents have been pleasant, they haven’t been helpful. You see, I’ve run in to illogical business rules from AT&T. A friend of mine happened to offer me his old 1st generation Iphone to get me
UGGHHHHH. I was sitting in the living room at home when I heard my wife’s voice from the laundry room. “You’re not going to like this!†she yelled. My first thought was that my shorts had turned a bright pink, or one of my new tshirts was a light blue. I was absolutely shocked when she walked in the room holding my Iphone. “Nooooo!â€, I
Krispy Kreme is giving away a free doughnut in celebration of national doughnut day (who knew). Run by Krispy Kreme and get your free doughnut but don’t wait because it only happens TODAY.
I was just reading an article about Cortney Munna. She has $97,000 in college debt and is struggling to pay it back and is questioning her decision to amass the debt in the first place. The article talks a lot about who is responsible. At one point in the article the author questions New York University’s actions and wonders why they didn’t tell Cortney to
We’ve always been a bit guilty of eating out more than we should. Over the last couple years we’ve actually scaled back quite a bit. It’s hard to go drop $40+ on a meal when you know you could eat MUCH cheaper at home. The problem with eating at home has been that we aren’t very creative about making meals. This leads to boring meat/starch/vegetable
We’re just about to pull the trigger on canceling our home phone service. I have resisted canceling our phone because I have used it a lot for work, since I work out of the house. Recently, I received a VOIP phone number and a Plantronics USB headset for my work laptop and it is working very well. I’m on a pilot at our company which
Blu-ray, Blu-ray, Blu-ray. It seems everyone is excited about Blu-ray. Personally, I’m not sure what the fuss is about. From my perspective, from what I’ve seen, it seems to be an overpriced new media format that doesn’t really seem to improve the quality “that†much. I have watched the sample Blu-ray movies in various stores when I’m out shopping and I really can’t see a
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately peering in to my personal finance spreadsheet. This is the spreadsheet that shows all of our major assets, our income, our expenses and our liabilities. The assets and liabilities really haven’t changed much. Here’s a quick rundown of the major stuff: House: $340K Lake House: $155K Toyota Truck: $9K Honda CRV: $24K Boat: $8K Yamaha Quad: $4.5K
I’ve been considering killing off cable TV at our house for the last year or so. Today I finally took the plunge and called Comcast. I think what finally caused me to do it was receiving our last cable bill. Our discounts had dropped off and the bill was back up to $110 for cable and Internet. The same day I happened to read an
