    This. I have the same situation. When I did all the angles I came to the conclusion that it's not enough money in the grand scheme of things that I'd likely never regret leaving it but might regret taking it out. I'm about 12 years out from that decision and I wouldn't change it. I had the...

    Are you prepared for death?

    My wife was in a car crash six years ago, was in a coma for a month and was in an inpatient brain injury rehab facility for four more months. I had to guess her passwords on a variety of things, none of which were very important (other than to get into Facebook to lock down her privacy to avoid...

    Over The Air Network TV

    Anyone have any tips for getting OTA networks. My condo will not allow me an antennae on the roof or on my deck so I'm relegated to indoor antenna options. I've tried basically everyone I can find in the box retailers. Starting to look online now. My condo is in Clear Lake, and on one of the...

    Nikki Moody sues Bill Fennelly over Racial Discrimination...

    This article doesn't help Moody's cause if she's saying there were six who fell out of favor. two African Americans, one Cuban American and three whites (presumably?). Equal opportunity ******* is a valid defense to these sorts of claim. I have defended a case on the "equal opportunity *******"...

    Ideas for older dog with vision problems?

    Probably cataracts. Iowa State will fix that for a couple thousand. Problem solved.

    Nikki Moody sues Bill Fennelly over Racial Discrimination...

    Just close the thread after this explanation. There isn't all that much you need know other than this. My experience is that juries don't need actual damages in these cases. They don't like mean people or bullies. Also the fear of fee switching looms terribly to the extent its available. That...

    Sideline Rules (in KU/OU game)

    Ironically Buddy could have used that to his advantage. I saw it once in a high school game. Team is pressing full court repeatedly jumping over the line and reaching over the line (ala jess settles or chris street style) because they know that eventually the ref will stop warning them. Anyway...

    Blasphemy! This is still up for debate!

    Press

    I realize that we probably don't have the depth to press 40 minutes of hell style, but I keep wishing we would press a little bit more early when we are so stagnant simply to speed things up a little bit or to limit how much time they have to run their offense. Even if we just pressured the ball...

    City of Des Moines Franchise Fee claims

    Water rates go up for entirely unrelated reasons to the franchise fee judgement payback. DMWW is a separate entity governed by its own board of trustees. I suspect that DMWW raising water rates to cover the city's obligation on the franchise fee ruling would be illegal since they can only...

    Wi if range extender

    At one have any suggestions about wi if range extenders. I have the cable modem and dual band wi if in my first floor office at one end of my house and am getting low signal strength in our second floor bedroom at the other end so I'm considering one. I have an old access point too and have...

    The Man in the High Castle

    I watched the whole thing. It started good but I was sorely disappointed with the ending.

    WTB: 2 lower level to GVSU

    WTB: 2 lower level to GVSU (and parking pass if available). Might be able to use three but definitely need two

    Charges against Dalasta dropped

    I understand your point and its a fair one. It's not really the same station as ours because the police report shows that he was actively and repeatedly making that decision despite strong evidence of a major risk especially at that time of day. He had an accident a few weeks before he hit my...

    Tip-Off Party - October 1st

    We went but didn't get there until about 5:45, and at that point there were tables of empty seats being held by one person. My wife can't stand for long periods so we left. That's not a complaint. That's an us issue not a CF or Thunderhead issue. We should have gotten there earlier. I do hope...

    Tip-Off Party - October 1st

    I have taken Friday off from work. I hope this event is worthy of that. Will Thunderhead be accepting coupons during this event?

    REFUTED: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

    Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept I don't understand how he says "somewhere near double digits" of sources rather than just say x sources the only way it makes sense is if he's trying to make 6 or 7 sources sound like 10 to improve the credibility of his...

    Sally Mason stepping down at Iowa.

    While I'm the first to say good for them for considering a non-traditional candidate, and I suspect a large part of the faculty backlash is based him not being a professor (I suspect some genuinely don't think that this particular business guy can run the university, but some could), as a guy...

    Fear the Walking Dead?

    It's an odd show to watch because I know what'shappening. It's a conflict between wanting to say the mom is an idiot for notputting A+B+C together by now, and saying it's unbelievable because Tobias has.You have to suspend disbelief a little to make it work but that's no differentsee Rick wake...
