DEATHTRON

One of my sister in law's recently did this to my brother (the credit card part). She also spent all of her retirement savings. Im not sure what makes women do this! In my brothers case, his wife just wanted more stuff and didnt like hearing no. Either way, that is seriously troublesome and you need to make that stop right now. The $2500 part can be fixed...its the $31k part that cant. Did I also mention my brothers wife also wants to take control of their finances and pay all of the bills? She claims that she has nothing to do now that she sits at home with the baby... Really makes me angry for some reason. Also, while Im ranting: Ladies, if I banged you on the first date then I expect to be able to hit it on the second date and so on. Do not get offended when I throw out the text at 2am on a saturday asking "what are you up to?", you forget so quickly that you put out on night one. I just wish women would be consistent. Zach

Don't get me started on Bank of America's mortgage dept. I'm finally scheduled to close this afternoon after having to do half of the 'loan specialists' job for her. Today is the closing deadline before they withdraw my application & I start over. F.U. Renita Summers. My loan was sold to BOA, so I dont share all of your pain. If you were in Texas I would tell you that I knew a guy who was totally awesome at getting everything squared away. My first Mortgage guy was afwul and almost cost me my current place, so I told him to take a hike...glad the seller was easy going on the whole thing. Hopefully all of this gets sorted out for you. Zach

Nothing serious, but happening to be on my mind... 1. Bank of America...I was unable to give you my money for my mortgage, because your "system" was down...at least you didnt charge me a late fee. 2. Adam14 (should have went as such) - 11:45amAdam - Its ok, youre just another woman to me. (You would be amazed at the results you get with that) Zach (Been having a few Octoberfests)

The time Drew and I were at a Stars playoff game against Detroit comes to mind. I feel that guy deserved the beer that got thrown on him...and his sign being torn in half...and being escorted out. Zach

Finally bought a bathroom vanity today. After searching for what seems like forever, I find 4 vanity's in one day. Found a vanity at a seconds store that I liked/fit the style in my master bath. After trying to match cabinets to the vanity, we decided to go to another place to pickup some showerheads. Well, what would you know, there is a vanity (literally) as soon as you walk in that looked great. What do you know, the manager he has 2 more in the attached warehouse of matching style. I end up picking one out of the warehouse. Did I mention that there were 2 matching cabinets there as well? I ended up walking away with 4K worth of vanity for $600. The pieces were all special ordered and the buyer changed his mind. You know what they say...when it rains, it pours. Life is good. Zach

I understand where Drew is coming from with his actions. This is the Dr. PepperStarCenter afterall. Zach

Assume you were directing this at me... no, i'm not a project manager but a company rep in the field. I can make the decisions myself, but this group has specifically said they wanted to do the decisions themselves. In the past, I would have replied to the dealer that I would/would not support the decisions they make... unfortunately its not the same for this particular group. they love to sit in head office, claim that the field reps arent doing their job, and bitch about how badly the dealer is doing in terms of responses. Btw, this particular engineer has come to our field office twice, and has already declared pretty clearly and loudly that he would love to take a position in the field office. Most of us wouldnt have this guy handing out water bottles on the bench (to put it in a hockey perspective)... He's got it in his mind that its a challenge working with the dealers... well, its a challenge and a throat slitting experience working with pricks like him. The dealer management has already put him on the black list... thereby not allowing him into the territory. Well enough. Just sounded like a PM until you clarified...PM's are a thorn in my side. Zach

Dont tell me that youre a project manager... Zach

Being able to go to the flying field 2 days in a row... Being able to go home shopping tomorrow... Life is good. Zach

They should be able to punch that area out...it will keep getting worse because your toe is going to be rubbed raw. Better to fix it sooner rather than later. Zach

Cost his store a few I bet... ;) Not many people buy tons of the same glove for their personal use (cough*drew*cough). Zach

I'm not so sure about the Z06 being faster than a GT-R. The GT-R is faster to 60 and is quicker in Motor Trend's figure 8 test (24.1 s). The ZR1 is 0.4 sec faster (23.7) and the Z06 0.3 sec slower (24.4). For a larger scale, the GT-R lapped the Nurburgring in 7:29, while the Z06 did a 7:56 (both with factory drivers). The ZR1 did a 7:22. The 480 hp rating has something to do with a power limit in Japan. There were/are laws limiting the amount of HP a car has and all cars are limited to a top speed of 112 mph. This is the REAL world baby...you take the Z06 and GTR on a roll, and like said previously, the Z06 will just walk away, hell, theres video of a Z06 walking a gallardo...supposedly stock...but that gives you some idea, the Z06 is some car for the money, in the end its just a corvette though. Zach

but....global warming! Im still on my first FBV sharpening, about a month old now. They are pretty much at the point where I am noticing that they need to be sharpened. I have close to 20 skates for the month on them, so they have held up plenty good for me so far. Zach

I was coming from 3/8", so the whole sharpness thing isnt going to do too much for me. If anything, with the forward profile I got from NO-icing, I still felt on my heels too much. Also, at one point, I dug in to do a sharp turn and ended up going into a nice 360, it was a bit tough to pull out. So, still some getting used to for me. Zach

Tried them out.....legs arent as tired now. Thats about all I can really say, didnt notice myself any faster. Zach

Sometimes the person sharpening thinks that they are giving out quality sharpening (not knowing any better). Ive seen it before 100x, the worst part is, sometimes these sharpeners get a following of people who THINK they can sharpen as well. You give them a fresh cut once and the look on their face after is priceless. If anything, next time, just politely tell him that the skates were not to satisfaction. Zach

Is that the 2.4 or 2.5 Rustpot? Ive got an s60 sedan with 2.5t and awd, even with the added weight of the awd I think it has good enouh "off the line" power. The newer volvo's are better and better, not sure Ill drive anything else for a daily driver in my life...except maybe an audi, drove an s4 a few months ago and was impressed. Zach

Those Arnott's look new...are they? Zach

Im going to clean you out now! Zach

I can haz sharpener at home now? Quick question: On the X02, what are the wires coming out of the left of the sharpener? Coming from my old big blademaster this look highly foreign. Also, any bigger pictures? Zach

Lucky you, I guess Ill give them a call then. Zach

Did you just call in to order? Zach

Dang! your ankle looks broken .. Just getting ready to swing hard for the draw. Zach is that sanantonio team any good? and when is yalls next game UTSA isnt that great, but it was their first year, I give them credit, their program was run better than ours, they just need to get the talent out. They were my favorite roadtrip by far...60oz. margarita's on the riverwalk are fantastic! We wont play again until next year at some point... Zach
