how has your year been so far? So its late in the year and for many basilers school has started or will start soon (depending on where you live) So id like to know (if you feel like sharing) how your year has been so far, key points, how would you rate it out of 10? For me ive had a lot of ups and downs, but the downs always stand out more Early on we realized we had a high deductible to pay for medical because of having to switch to way worse insurance , so most of the year things were hard because medication is expensive (my key medication is $450 a month until insurance started helping) Then during different parts of the year I had two pets I had for half my life die (a cat early in the year and a dog within the past 2 or 3 months), we d

well I got my braces today I was unsure if it would be an option for me to get them today, but after taking pictures and using a high tech CAT scan X-ray they gave me the option so I went for it During was so easy I only knew I was close to getting done by looking at my reflection in the hygienists glasses, and then it became progressively more obvious when they were adding the wires, a spring, and bite turbos (so I don't grind my bottom back teeth into nothing) All im experience so far is an awkward mild discomfort from elastics and the bite turbos I hope the bite turbos aren't like this much longer, every time I try to bite down my top row can't make contact with the bottom row and it bugs me so bad (yes I know its doing its job)

i might get braces soon I was one of those people that was supposed to get braces as a kid, but never did because of family finances Well over the last 3 or 4 years my smile got a lot worse than it was previously I had one orthodontic consultation so far with a dental school a couple of months ago, but can't go with them because they have everyone that wants to get stuff done over there go through care credit, which basically is care credit paying the place you are gonna get work done at in full (if you get approved), and then you pay care credit If you get approved and theres a promotion or you pay quick enough its great because you wouldn't get charged interest Otherwise it kinda sucks So im having a second consultation done on Tuesday wi

thinking about getting back to play Ds/3ds I have 2 3DS systems and close to 40 (or slightly more, I haven't actually counted lately, I just know its around that number and growing thanks to eBay and their 5x eBay bucks promotions) games for DS or 3DS, a few ive completed since I got them, dragon quest ix im stuck on (because of having to create extra characters through a certain type of wireless internet, I have tge wrong type and can't switch it), the rest i either barely touched or completed before What are some games you think stand out and would be ones I can't help but complete as soon as I can? I work 40-60+ hours a week so i only end up spending so much time video gaming after I catch up with my shows (I DVR everything and get to so

what were the best deals you got? For me its easily these Sony wireless ps3 controllers i bought last week, bought at $10 each, im selling what I can to people at the place I work at for $25 each, I could do a little better on eBay sure, but I don't need to get every cent I can out of them and I only wish I could buy and sell stuff (legally of course) at these rates all the time. And this isn't the only time ive got a spectacular deal like this from the same place. What were your best buying and selling deals in real life?

should I get a ps4 on black Friday? So I worked many hours last week, pretty close to almost the same amount of hours this week and I was wondering should I get a ps4, im not much into online gaming these days so I would either do local multi-player or single player modes, the thing is I have a decent Sony LCD and hdmi cable, but I just haven't been able to stand buying a game on ps3/Xbox 360 to beat it in a few weeks time and see the price plummet below half of what I paid which was fair or cheap to begin with. im into a variety of games really, but mostly shooters, RPGs and an occasional non-super realistic racing game, if I do get one I plan on getting an extra controller (also on sale on black Friday ) and a few games (I would probably

what ds games should i get? So, I may never see my biggest problem again (druggie oldest brother, not discussing the details here, but if you are really interested, you can message me; now back on topic) and I have a job again (pay is minimum, 40 hours a week, I like it and hope it lasts a while, but again, not discussing that here), and I'm planning on starting a ds/3ds game collection of sorts, I'd like to stay below $20 a game as much as possible, I mainly play RPGs, Mario (and Luigi) games, and kingdom hearts. I have Kingdom hearts 358/2 days, dream drop distance, and have re:coded coming, I have paper Mario sticker star, all 3 Mario and Luigi games on ds/3ds (unless I'm missing anything) I also have dragon quest ix coming, and might ge

any idea of what i should do? I have no idea what I'm gonna do for the next probably 2 or 3 weeks, I'm running out of anime content (bleach is finished, naruto shippuden seems to be stuck in the middle of a bunch of filler episodes, toriko I'm pretty sure is on hiatus or just going slow on episodes, I watched every episode of reborn; and just about all other anime on Hulu + is short, like 30 episodes or less) I'm as good as broke for the time being, and I'm either bored of all my games or done with them. Another thing with Hulu + is if it's not anime and you are behind by more than a few episodes your pretty much out of luck. I also tend to not go on my pc much cuz too much stuff pops up in the processing menu, and even after getting rid of

how long do you think itll be until PS4 and its games costs gets reasonable? I have rarely paid full retail on home console games, in fact most of the time I prefer to pay $20 or less per game, otherwise I'd probably get really upset at diminishing value (one would have to buy games soon after release and go through them and sell them quickly otherwise), I've just never had thebudget for that, nor have I ever preferred to go through games quickly (I like to get full or near full completion and enjoy all a game has to offer), at any rate, this is just an inquiry as I have a virtually new PS3 right now anyway and will be going through all the undervalued games while playing the waiting game. My guess is around 1.5-2 years before price of PS4

doesnt the Usps suck? so, whether or not i will do business on eBay again is up in the air, if i do decide to keep messing with eBay, i will for sure be more careful with packaging (i know im an idiot for this, but i never thought about packaging it with an extra case so it wouldnt just be the game in a mailing envelope, didnt get a case with the game, and didnt think about the extras i have from having a thief of an older brother (which in short may never end up in the same state as me again, which is a relief as i hate him and hate thinking about all the stuff hes stolen from us when we have given him way too many chances to grow up and leave drugs behind) )and perhaps put extra policies in place (because some low positive feedback scum,

dont you hate when your Tv signal messes up? so i wanted to watch a few shows i had recorded, come to find out the signal coming through was so horrible, i couldnt stand to watch what i wanted to, so now im 1 episode behind on American Horror Story Coven, and i cant find the episode online or on Hulu Plus. how can your signal get so messed up when you have cable (which should be more reliable than satellite) anyways? i hate how these shows dont do reruns, so you could wait well over a year if you miss an episode and your media streaming choice doesnt have it (i had Netflix, but they get so behind and it got to be where there wasnt much i would really consider watching anyways, so i canceled and kept going past the 1 week free trial on Hulu
