Awesome, rosarugosa! A little shopping around really paid off!

Yes, it certainly is. I should have done it much sooner. From now on I will keep a closer eye on this.

I forgot to mention that the same broker also helped me with switching the fire insurance...

I think pretty much all insurance companies raise rates on a regular basis. In the past I used to stay with one company for many years, but no more. It doesn't pay to do so. I was with Allstate...

It came through. Are you sure the problem was with the computer? Or was it "user error?" Too long in the sun, maybe? Botox poisoning? Insanity due to too many barks from the barkinator?

Thanks Yossarian. Maybe it's a case of "not enough caffeine yet." I see now that it's listed under the Special Use Forums. Somehow I just wasn't seeing it before.

Will do. I usually head down south every winter with a buddy or two for at least a month in my truck camper. This year we spent about 10 days at Lake Havasu, 4 or 5 days at Parker (visiting Q...

Thanks Paula. And sorry to hear about your troubles in PHX. Hope that all gets cleared up soon (if it hasn't been already).

This site played a big part in my journey to FI3. I stopped...

Welcome to Southern Oregon, Gardenarian. I've been in the area since 2008 (formerly from Sacramento, also lived in Oakland when I was in school many years ago) and love it here. I like the variety...

"Besties" huh? Is this how you treat your besties, ignoring them for weeks while you're off galavanting all over the countryside with your child-like boy toys? I'm crushed. :confused: You even...

That's what the gf tells me too. I'm still trying to figure out if it's a compliment or not (she got a 16, then a 0 on second attempt).

So if yous is anywhere near purty Southern Oregon, stop on by. Butcher Hollar is all set up for you. We got varmints on the spit, white lightning in the ol jam jars, and I done tole Dub and Lil'...

I got a 278. Higher is better, right? :0!

Great photo Humboldtgurl, but who's the old decrepit geezer you're holding up?

It was great to meet you guys out there. I really enjoyed "The Range" and "East Jesus," just wish my camera's...

Don't worry, you're still a young whippersnapper from my point of view. And I'm still an old geezer from yours. Something about that just isn't fair. :devil:
All the best on your B-day,...

You'll run into a lot of that on the road as well. And for most of those folks I doubt there's anything you could say that would change their minds. Just have to get used to it. I knew of a family...

Yes, after you, fidgiegirl, and some others have said that, I did a little research and now I'm wondering if Argentina is the right place for this. Considering we will probably rarely communicate...

I would uninstall the Office 2007 program and go with Open Office, at the link ApatheticNoMore provided. Works great with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files, and it's free. I've been using it for...

Oh yeah, that's another big criticism of Facebook. They bury the instructions in the site somewhere for permanently deleting your account. Basically you have to request the account to be deleted,...

All good advice. That's pretty much how I travel when I'm anywhere south of the border. It's also important to keep in mind that even though bad things do happen, if you're doing the things that...

Thanks Fidgiegirl - you confirmed many of my suspicions, such as not trying to go it alone, and the sightseeing thing. Sightseeing is definitely secondary for this trip, so traveling huge distances...

shadowmoss - I know exactly what you're talking about. That's pretty much how I've felt every time I've been to a Spanish-speaking country (I was just thinking about how many times that has been -...

My girlfriend and I are in the process of learning Spanish, and have recently come up with the idea of doing a Spanish immersion program in Argentina. Neither of us has ever done an immersion...

Wow. This guy must make the rounds. He also looks exactly like one of the users I supported (former technical support guy). Like most places we had Windows almost everywhere, and this guy was a...

Most of it is from ads. http://articles.businessinsider.com/2010-05-18/tech/29983933_1_ad-deal-user-revenues

That article is a little old and doesn't include numbers for 2011. Profits for 2011...

Are there any other alternatives? If not, and the taxi question passes your life energy test, then by all means go for it. As Spartana said, possibly there is some other place in your finances to...
