    How much do you put into your 401k?

    to make some others feel better- My last company 'matched 50% of what you put in up to 4% and 25% of what you put in up to 6%.' Their words, not mine. So basically, the best contribution that you could get out of them was 2.5%. And they were convinced that it was awesome. I recently sent my...

    Ok, which one of you tried driving through deep water?

    I kept getting stuck by standing water in the road over by west town pub last night because we were driving my girlfriend's fiesta. The ONE time we don't take my pickup somewhere and it screwed us.

    How much do you put into your 401k?

    Where I work it is fixed- Employee contribution is 5.4 percent of gross wages and employer contribution is 7.93 percent of gross wages. This is nice pretty sweet, and they have a deferred compensation plan (457 I think?) but I can't afford to put anything into that yet. When I can, I will try...

    Public Turkey hunting near Ames?

    Sorry for the drive by post. I don't get on here much anymore. I think I am going to go to McCoy Wildlife area out by Ledges first, and I may try Chichiqua if I see something out there I like when I take my dog to train. Those two and Boone forks north of Stanhope are the closest Turkey...

    Nealy arrested for a noise complaint

    Depending on which limit and depending on how far away the noise measurement was. If the cop was pretty close to the car, 80 dB is nothing. If the cop was pretty far away, 80 dB could be significant.

    *****LEATH VEISHEA PRESSER LIVE STREAM*****

    If VEISHEA is cancelled, what is to stop it from becoming something similar to 'Unofficial' like they do at University of Illinois? Then you have only the negative partying and none of the great community events. I'm not saying it will happen but that would be cutting your nose off to spite...

    Are you a coffee snob?

    ^My current favorite. Tastes just like a nuttier medium roast coffee. When I was recently at yellowstone I bought the most amazing coffee... and I think it was the one pictured above. Will definitely buy again when I go back in a few weeks.

    NFL: *** Official 2012 NFL Draft ***

    Can't toss the ball to the receivers when you can't get a pass off. Obviously I wanted them to get KO, but how could they pass on DeCastro and Zeitler in the first round? and Adams from tOSU as well as KO... for a FAT wide receiver. WHY would they trade up to get him in any case? It is so...
