The amish market near us sells donuts filled with jelly and write creme. They also make a version of key lime flavored creme...

Makes note to get donuts this weekend....

Is it necessary to keep paychecks?

I'm financially retarded, but I wouldn't think so. Most people get direct deposit anyway. Keep the year end stuff you get though.

this chick is cute but she has a problem with usage of the words "gay" AND "retarded."

i advise you deposit them

That sucks for Housh's band blurbs topic.

Briefly considered starting a "Game 3 North Dakota Get together" thread before realizing how unfunny it would be.

Probably be about as successful as mine on the bright side I'll probably be posting a bunch during the game

work was all, "hey, you're going to detroit for the most boring crap ever on nov. 3 & 4!"

i was all, "girl you're straight tripping."

Getting way ahead of myself here, but:

-If the job is 5 days of travel, they fly you home on weekends, what's the smartest thing to do about living arrangements? Renting seems like a horrible option in this case. As much as it pains me to think about this, I could buy a decent house (for a 25 yr. old single guy who would be living there 5-10 days a month) where I grew up for 35-50 K. Property taxes wouldn't be all that bad there. Even though I can't stand the place, that's got to be a better deal than throwing away rent money for a couple days a month.

-This is probably an awful idea, but it's an interesting job with a good company. Not exactly what I was planning on doing, but it's not the time to hold out for the dream job.

-I've assuredly just jinxed myself.

is your parents basement an option? I'm being semi-serious.

If you like the job after 6 months, you'll have money to buy a house. If you don't like it, you saved yourself a 12 month or longer commitment to something.

My brother gave up his apartment and lived in hotels/friends places/my place/parents house on weekends. He didn't have to fly home, he could fly anywhere he wanted (not sure if that's an option for you).

In 2 years he saved something like 50K on rent and utilities.
