Awesome dude, just awesome.

My folks have a Bosch. Apparently, they're made less than 100 miles from here in New Bern, NC.

[pmcd9]

Really?  A dishwasher and it's made in USA?

[miles]

Congratulations!

I bought a few books today. Went into Borders to buy a birthday card for my sister, and it turns out it's closing so everything was discounted. I walked out only about $40 lighter, so it could have been worse.

[Choop]

congrats! we hit some wineries ...in your daughter's ... honor?

[JorgeFabregas]

Thanks all. Of course, I'm hella obligated to post pictures all over the internet.


Dan, I imagine will be taking visitors on Tuesday or Wednesday if you want to drop by the West End.

Kid looks pissed off.  She's got a bad attitude.  I like her already.

[jay-ell]

Nah, she looks all cozy and zen to me. Like she wants to say, "Life is suffering, suffering is life, where the hell is my dang milk?"

That is one swell-looking bambino, Jorge!

1040EZ seems to be saying I am going to get like 600$ in my tax refund. That is a lot of money. Holy geez.

Hooker+Blow+Hotel Room+Fully insured rental car.
You can thank me later.

[theinevitable]

that is two months' worth of rent for my bomb-ass in this awesome city.

also it seems like a lot considering I only worked 4 months in 2010. That is 10% of what I made in 2010.

now, the only trick is getting my former roommate to pay me the 300$ that he owes me.

I continue to be amazed at how cheap it is to live anywhere but the nyc metro area.

[theinevitable]

Some recent list said that STL has the lowest cost of living in the country for a city over ### people. Things that cost on average $1.00 cost $.80 in Saint Louis.

People still come into my store and bitch about how expensive it is, though.

[jay-ell]

Yeah, $300/mo would be a 1/4 share of a very crappy 2 bedroom apartment with marginal convenience to NC State. (There are students who do it, too -- but if you're going to live two to a room, why wouldn't you just stay in a dorm?)

When we were engaged and looking at apartments in 2001, (near campus, because he was a student and I worked for the school), it was going to cost us $1200/mo for a 2-bedroom. It was actually cheaper to buy, since our mortgage payment was only $1035 (including taxes and insurance). I'm sure it's more expensive now.

Then again, the further you get from campus, the cheaper it gets -- our rent at the town house we stayed in between houses was only $860/mo for a 2 BR 2BA, and that even had a little bit of yard. But it was three times as far from campus as our first house, so demand for rental units was much, much lower out in the 'burbs.
