I've always wanted to get one of these. Are they the truth?


Absolutely the truth. I use it to blast
my tooth and gum line after I brush
before bed and no food particles left
over to rot and create bad breath and
plaque. My dental hygienist is always
blown away at the condition of my
teeth and gums. She always says,
whatever you're doing, keep doing it!
I highly recommend and endorse it.

Agreed. The market over here is overpriced. Bought in 2009 - place was 2 years old. First few years the assessed value was up a bit, the same, or down a bit. Then for a handful of years it more than doubled in value. It has since dropped off in the past 2 years, but is still nearly assessed at double what we paid for it.

The previous owner tried to sell at a 50k profit after making no major renovations or upgrades. Waited for them to drop the price, and came in below that and slowly worked up to a more comfortable value.

Watched enough HGTV to know what the fuck to do.

Yes. Way more effective than flossing. But using them takes some getting used to. You’ll start off squirting water all over your bathroom until you figure it out.

Yes. If your gums aren't super strong,
you will probably experience a little
bleeding at first until your gums get
used to the thorough cleaning this
machine provides. It has pressure
settings so you can start low and work
your way up. The settings are from 1 to
10 and I always use 10 and I've never
done it but I can imagine if that
pressure accidently hits your eyeball,
it could be a regrettable situation
so be careful about that.

Omega Chrome Masticating Juicer

WTF is THAT?!?!?!?!?

Its a juicer. My wife bought 1 about a year ago. Its an auger style. The piece on the inside looks like a cross between and drill bit and a dildo. Its cool. I mainly use it to juice pineapples, but she was on a juice kick for a few months. My issue with it, not the machine itself, but the entire process is cleaning out the square strainer it comes with. But its well built, heavy as fuck.

Preschool for my kid. A higher-tier place that over 5 1/2 years cost me > 70k out of pocket :eek2: . But the kid tested into the advanced programs for the district and will be in it until high school graduation and is currently doing math and reading two grade levels ahead. Definitely have gotten my money’s worth so far; as long as I don’t plug that amount spent into a compound interest calculator, I don’t trip about it lol.

Gotta agree with you on that. I got my house for $160K which was $10K less than the asking price and at least $40K less than the comps. Shit, went on zillow.com and saw the value of my house at $200K, after the refi only 9 months after I bought it I'm sitting at a 4.25 rate. I didn't make out as good as you, but I'm fine. You got a steal.
Good shit :yes:

My fiance and I bought a short sale home, 4 BR, 2 baths in Florida last December for $52,000 (really 58K but she got the government rebate). In February it was assessed at $167,000. Homes in the same neighborhood are going for 250K and up.....We're finally moving this Thursday. :dance::dance::dance:
11 years later my house is valued at $320,000 on zillow and every other week I'm getting calls to buy my house and hang up once they start talking that $275k $280k like I don't know how much my shit is worth

But buying it at $160k and it doubling in value is easily the best money I ever spent

Lolz classic thread. We sold that house five years ago for $120K. Bought a bigger, nicer home with space and a pool for $222K.

Our home is valued at $368K today on Zillow.

$20.00 to my crackhead neighbor for what ended up being 5+ years of peace and quiet. He's from a family who grew up in the neighborhood with us. He used to knock on the door all hours of the night wanting to use the phone or get a ride some place. So he suckers me in to a ride one night. Has to stop at an atm to get some money for something. Naturally he couldn't get the cash. He wanted me to take him some place else to get the money. I said look I'll give you the 20 bucks, just pay me later. He said "I'll put it in your mail box tomorrow." I said No, give it directly to me or my brother, don't leave it in the mailbox. I went from seeing that kneegrow every night to at least a 5 year stretch w/o a peep. Best money I ever spent. I have the ring doorbell now so when he comes by I don't answer.

I really took a moment to think about this topic and I've concluded that dollar for dollar, the best money I've ever spent, was Unemployment Insurance.

I usually only pay a couple dollars every two weeks for unemployment insurance out of my check. But when I was unemployed for 14 months, I was paid over 25K in unemployment. The return on investment was ridiculous. With my wife, it was the same thing only better. She got laid off in July 09, but she was going to leave her job anyway to go to school full-time. So not only did she get a nice severance from her job, but she's been able to get unemployment while in school for a year. Funny how that works :rolleyes:
dust brake pads on my Kia Sorento. :lol:

Was this money in addition to the regular state benefits?
What company u use?? I'm guessing this works like Geico auto insurance.. right??

What was the process of getting into that Pre-School? Did you have to know someone or just have the money?

I'm going to need to start looking in a few months, so any advice is appreciated.

1) get on the waiting list, schedule a meeting with ownership. Knowing someone already there or previously with kid(s) there wouldn’t hurt to slide in a name of how you got the recommendation. Waiting lists can be long though, the best ones could have you waiting 6-12 months, we even got an email from the owner one time asking parents if anyone was PLANNING to have another kid to let them know so they could plan to have a spot for them.

2) there might be an enrollment fee, and once you’ve got that and get a slot, be ready for your pockets to stay getting hit, for mine, payment was due every Friday, and it was auto debit, personal check or money order only.
