    Smartest Cities in America

    I went to school at UMR (now Missouri S&T) before ISU. The hillbillies typically live outside of Rolla's city limits in the rural areas. If they included the surrounding area, it would probably drop them from top 20 to bottom 20 in a hurry.

    Who are the richest donors/possible donors for ISU

    Becker & Underwood sold to a private equity firm almost 10 years before the BASF deal. I would guess B & U still had stock, but I am sure it wasn't a $1 billion deal for them personally. Also, many people don't realize that the publicized $1 billion acquisition of Albaugh's company didn't go...

    Chanse Creekmur, Trevor Hodge, Brandon Horbach

    Was Creekmur listed previously on the roster as a TE or was that just speculation by people on here that he would get switched over to the TE position?

    Strange/odd food cravings you keep to yourself?

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    I wish they had a "LOVE" button I could click instead of just the "LIKE" button. I couldn't agree with you more. The self righteousness of some on here is nauseating.

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    This is exactly our situation. By the time we got together, we both made good money independent of each other and were accustomed to living that way. My wife LOVES designer clothes, shoes, bags, etc. I don't want her feeling guilty for buying an expensive bag that she really wants out of a...

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    I agree with Dean. In our case we didn't get together until we both had many different life experiences and were well into successful careers. Also, I didn't have kids and the Mrs. had a son just starting college that she intended to support financially through school. The separate accounts...

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    Nope, old school. I don't think she allows it or trusts him with a card.

    Inlaws, do you like them?

    I feel for you. My dad is still alive but my mom passed away 10 years ago. I think all the time about how much fun my mom would have had with Mrs. Floater.

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    We also have couple friends that do the joint account where the husband by far has the larger income, but the wife keeps the checkbook in her purse. The husband has to ask the wife for allowance or money to buy something he wants. (No matter how small the item) Seems that the wife has a...

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    We go the separate route and it works great for us. Neither one of us want a joint account. If she wants to spend money on a new handbag or shoes, she can without checking with me first and if I want to buy a sweet new compound miter saw for the garage, I can do it without checking with her...

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    I used to have a guy that worked for me whose wife was a stay at home mom early in their marriage because they had 4 or 5 kids. Later, once the kids were all in school, she decided that she wanted to sell real estate. He confided in me how much it frustrated him that his income was "OUR" money...

    Linguine is the best pasta

    Any of you had the Cavatelli at Bambino's in West Des Moines??? (formerly in Cumming) Heavenly! I have eaten Italian food at many different places and I didn't realize amazing homemade pasta could make such a difference.
