    Dear Skoorb, I used to post a lot (to me it was a lot, 20 posts/day?). Now I post a little. I had to recover my password... Just to tell you that was a funny thread. Signed, kyparrish

    Sorrento vs. Highlander vs. Sonata....(ya, I know)......

    Go test drive the Sorento, you'll be surprised. Very nice vehicle. Lots of bells and whistles. We picked up a 2011 EX FWD w/ convenience package a couple of weeks ago. Lease special was going on, $2499 upfront, then $239/month for 36 months (12,000 miles). HOWEVER, it was only $8 more per...

    Best Gym to go to ? Price wise and feature wise ?

    I haven't logged into AT for a while, but saw this thread today and figured I would chime in. Where do you live in Charlotte? If you are close the the Planet Fitness on S. Tryon (intersection of 485), I would recommend that place. I went there for a few months when I first started my...

    Purchasing previous rental car?

    Thanks guys. RU482, thanks for the help with the warranty. I had been googling like crazy and only found 1 page that said the warranty would transfer (but found nothing that said otherwise). 13.9 seem like a good price to start at? I'm anxious to see the fees that pop up on the deal sheet.

    Purchasing previous rental car?

    Does anybody have any opinion on purchasing a previous rental car? We're looking at a 2008 Altima 2.5S w/ 28k miles. It's listed at $13.9k, I don't know what the dealers fees are yet. Also, does anybody know if the original factory powertrain (5 years/60k miles) would transfer to us? I...

    Can morbidly obese people survive longer without food?

    I'm thinking it wouldn't make a difference, I think they'd starve within a few days.

    Thanks for all of the incredible help! I went back and found a section that let me update new W4's to give to our employers to that we will be good now. This seemed to satisfy my requirement to pay estimated taxes. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4th Annual Tax Thread - 2006

    okay, I don't think this has to do with the TT software, but I just printed to review before e-filing, and the front page says: "your return also indicates the following estimated tax payments are to be paid using Form 1040-ES" then it lists 4 payments of $271 (we owed $1041 this year b/c my...

    Toilet Repair: overtightened the closet bolt that connects the toilet to the flange

    Yeah but not completely. Still have a little residual water in both the tank and the bowl that can get messy when moving the toilet to where you are going to work on it.

    Toilet Repair: overtightened the closet bolt that connects the toilet to the flange

    Haha, yeah wet vac would have been nice. My car wash sponge is officially going in the trash. The only reason I even thought the wax ring was because of the discoloration/early signs of rot on the hardwood floor under the bowl that was creeping out under the side. Even a plumber I talked...

    Toilet Repair: overtightened the closet bolt that connects the toilet to the flange

    Thanks for the responses you guys. Long story short, after replacing the wax ring, toilet is still making a running/leaking sound. I couldn't pinpoint where the sound was coming from before I started, but our hardwood floor in that bathroom discolored around the bottom of the toilet bowl...

    Toilet Repair: overtightened the closet bolt that connects the toilet to the flange

    Sweet! I plopped my 2 and a half bills down on the seat before I tightened the bolts, and the other bolt is good to go, so you think I'll be okay? No leaking water that would cause major damage?

    Toilet Repair: overtightened the closet bolt that connects the toilet to the flange

    I don't think I broke the porcelain flange. I might have broken the thing underneath the toilet that holds the bolt in place while you lower the toilet down onto the hole. I can pull the bolt straight up out of the way, so I know I broke something. I'm just asking because there is a brand new...

    Toilet Repair: overtightened the closet bolt that connects the toilet to the flange

    See title and subtitle. Let me guess, I have to go and buy a whole new wax ring kit and re-do the whole thing because one of the sides is broken off, even though the toilet isn't going anywhere... Does anybody have any experience in this?

    How much Oil do we have?

    Well, technically, if the power plant providing the juice to run the bulbs was being run by fossil fuels (some type of oil or natural gas), it's reducing demand on hydrocarbons and helping the environment. Same goes with the insulation, less heat loss in the winter and keeping the cool air in...

    should all of your appliances match????

    I'd match them. Plus, the black *might* be a little cheaper. Definitely get a side by side. If you ever leave it behind with your house when you sell, you can use it as a bargaining tool (sell it with the house).

    PETA to Al Gore - meat eaters cannot be environmentalists

    Oh. My. God. I can't find the article on Drudge anymore, but I'm sure the point of it wasn't to say "Cow burps are killing the environment." Meat Industry + Sustainability I'm sure what was meant, before everybody started piling on to say "animals are carbon neutral, etc." was that...
