I don't want to jinx it, but I've lost about 8 pounds since Christmas with no exercise.

 


Pretty cool vid on the new Corvette, the more I see it the more I like it. The front panels are pretty bad a$$ and really echo the original Stingray, in a very modern way. IMO I figured they would of had a little more power, 500hp is kind of the bottom line for cars like this.

 
You've all heard the saying; it's the greatest/best thing since sliced bread. My question is simple, what was the greatest/best thing BEFORE sliced bread? Please do not devolve into the merits of using sliced bread as the benchmark. Taking the discussion in that direction will do nothing but hurt feelings and strain relationships. Ok go.

Cotton gin, probably. Or printing press.

I guess maybe the debate has to be about the merits of sliced bread. For the life of me I cannot picture a world where, at that point in time, people collectively could have thought that sliced bread was better than any/all previous inventions. I mean really how hard is it to slice bread at home? At what point does someone say awe screw the wheel/printing press/cottongin, this pre-sliced bread beats those things hands down? Makes a guy wonder if being the best thing since sliced bread is even a compliment.

Anyone else rent out property? What is like being a landlord?

Renters are fine generally. But I happen to be renting to family. They basically treat it like its an extended stay at my house. I offered them use of my rental, while they finish school. They have a 2 year old daughter. So I would never kick em to the curd cause she's adorable. Their dog sh#ts everywhere. And they can't seem to get the garbage to the curb. Both have jobs but they've had their water and gas shut off numerous times. The positive is that my cousins boyfriend is very good at manual labor. Carpentry, plumbing, roofing, etc. So far the home improvements he's done for me has cancelled out the getting no rent portion of our agreement. All I make them pay me is enough to pay insurance an PP taxes. Equates to less than $150 a month. My point is, being a landlord can be a wonderful deal with cooperation of 2 things. Responsible, clean tenants. And a rental property that isn't always finding new ways for you to spend your money. Good luck
