    Farmland

    Farmland is gold with a rent check... At this point I'm not sure what the real upside is on land right now as far as value...I'd guess not a lot. I wouldn't go broke or put myself in a bind buying farm land...to me there are much better options. It's a safe cash park for those with too much...

    Iowa Farm Sayings

    Also...'that looks like you pulled it out of the cat's ass' whenever you had something not ironed or that looked bad.

    Iowa Farm Sayings

    My dad's is 'He doesn't know if his *******'s punched or drilled' When I finally asked him one day...which is it? 'I'm guessing some type of hot punch' I think he's right. : )

    Iowa Farm Sayings

    Farmers don't save! lol Like I tell people about farmers spending habits on equipment..."If you gave the average Iowa farmer the choice between paying taxes and AIDS...they'd take AIDS every time. They know people who have AIDS and survived...they've never meet anyone that paid taxes and lived"

    Former Cyclone David Irving signs 1 yr deal

    That's too bad...$2.9 million can buy a lot of stop signs. He should spend $300k on two dudes as big as him ($150k each) to keep his ass sober and out of trouble. Best money he could spend. Oh, and $500 on a Uhaul to move away from his gf.

    Home Values

    Ok...so why is a $20k remodel $100k in California? I'm all ears. Pay isn't much higher in CA than Texas or anywhere else. Are you telling me there is that much fuel used in a remodel at $4.99 vs $2.49?

    Home Values

    I'm not sure what's driving it this time...I guess fear of being left out? I'm shocked that even here in San Antonio we've seen major price increases...in the past 4 years my house has shot up from $240k to $350k +. Land has done the same. Not good.

    Taxes & regulations. Then more taxes and regulations. If there is anything left they tax it...and regulate it.

    HBO's Silicon Valley

    I didn't know Miller had left...I was waiting for him to reappear. Hope he enjoys prison. The Christianity thing was sad...because of how much truth there was to it...Judge is a great writer.

    What's your favorite brand of speaker?

    I've got an older set of Paradigm floor standing speakers that I love for music. I have the center channel as well, but my wife insisted on something smaller so I got an Energy 5.1 system in the living room which is a nice set up for under $600. I've seen some insane priced / wild tech...

    Tired of getting this pop-up

    Which is both annoying and confusing... A. I'm not their target audience... B. What leads them to believe that Iowa State fans are their target demographics?

    What is this wall mount for?

    A. That's a funky looking....something or other? o_O B. You've had a lot of bad paint color choices. :eek: C. It looks like not sticking your **** in there was the right call! :)

    What does a successful tournament look like for the Big 12?

    Is it ok that I want UMBC to win? I know that's against the B12....but I really like the Retrievers.

    We're now engineering and designing a world that's 'just good enough'... I HATE that...it's not 'just enough' it's junk.

    Becky Hammon a 'top candidate' to replace Larry at CSU

    I've had 2 as well...there will never be a 3rd. Not saying it couldn't be ok...or that it might have been just bad luck...what I'm saying is that I'll never know. Women coaching men's college basketball...seems like a crazy idea. That won't work.
