notabuddhist replied to your post: Tumblr, what are your thoughts.
in this country joint accounts make sense for things like the purchasing or mortgaging of homes, and sorting out your will, and personal care in old age. even then, people who have them can (and do) maintain separate accounts for individual spending.
See, the maintaining separate accounts makes sense to me but no one I know who...

If possible, I recommend 3 accounts — one per person, and a third for high priority expenses that are always the same (ie rent or mortgage, maybe car payment or insurances, not ALL expenses, that leads back to errors.) Or, just split everything.
That’s what I recommend too. It makes the most sense to...

Yep! Even in a committed relationship with trust on both sides, they cause all manner of grief. Errors make it harder to balance the checkbook. Things might bounce. The bank demanding both signatures on stuff makes errands a pain in the ass.
That’s my position! But, man, the people who’ve decided to have a joint...
Tumblr, what are your thoughts.
Is it because I’m not in a relationship that I think the joint checking account/savings account is the stupidest idea known to man?
Because I honestly can’t envision any time where I would be willing to share 100% of my money with another person. It’s not going to happen.
Plus, I’m sorry, but my savings account that I’ve spent the last 5 years building up is not a...

This kind of stupidity just irritates the shit out of me. Really? If you’re going...

What the holy hell is that abomination of a 21 Jump Street movie? Are they for real with that shit?

Well shit. I forgot I’d paused the first 15 minutes of Justified so when it went to commercial I switched to the UK game which of course wiped out that 15 minutes and I picked it up live. Now I have to wait until it records the repeat showing at 11:00.
I might as well watch UK lose.

Gossip Girl question
I haven’t watched the wedding episode yet so someone explain to me why the obvious reason for Dan sending in the video of Chuck and Blair’s talk wasn’t to stop the wedding any way he could? Dan knew (right?) that Blair didn’t love Louis. He has the video where Chuck and Blair talk about their love (blech) and his ultimate goal is for Blair to be happy. As misguided as it...

Look at Hawaii Five-0 giving me a tiny Steve/Kono moment. I appreciate it. I take what I can get between the dude love and Catherine randomly showing back up because they decided that Lori wasn’t working out as a potential love interest.

Bullshit TV moment of the day:
David and Mary Margaret’s affair comes to light, and the town shuns her and spray paints TRAMP on her car.
Nothing happens to him.
I’m glad we’ve got Prince Charming because David really sucks. Which, I suppose, is maybe the point? The point of sending them all to the real world is they don’t get their happy endings but,...

I like fairytale Abigail more than I like modern world Katherine. Although perhaps they just haven’t given Katherine a chance.

I tend to lose my list. It’s more efficient to train the cashier to notice what I’m missing and remind me. (Actually, my grocery store has one of those creepy purchase tracking systems, & it reminds you if it thinks a regular purchase is missing.)
I usually forget my list but when I remember the list I...
I went to the grocery store, with a list, and forgot the one essential ingredient to what I’m cooking for dinner tomorrow. I didn’t even realize it until about 4 hours after I got home and after my nap so like I’m going back to the grocery store tonight. ONE ITEM. I got everything on my list and then some and somehow managed to forget the one thing I needed. This is why I hate...

I ended up going grocery shopping after all. Mostly because I decided I wanted Steak n’ Shake and there is one next to the Meijer. It wasn’t too bad but I purposely went during the basketball game on the assumption that even if people are flipping out over the non-existent impending snow (seriously, even the weather people, while flipping out, are showing a giant map with ZERO...
Roger Ebert: In defense of "Titanic" →
notnadia:
I had no idea that liking Titanic was so controversial. Although I agree that it’s an awkward choice for 3D, given that it was not filmed with that possibility in mind. I WILL SEE IT NONETHELESS.
Not even going to lie when I saw The Vow and they showed the trailer for it (in non-3D) I got a little goose bumpy even though I actually haven’t seen the entire movie in years. Of...

If you have Wegmans, then finding a Wegmans-adjacent store is magic. If you don’t have Wegmans, the method is flawed beyond usefulness.
I didn’t know Wegmans still existed. We’ve got Kroger. And one Trader Joe’s that I haven’t ventured into since right around when it first opened because it was too...

Definitely skip the grocery shopping. My method under such circumstances is to use the grocery store located directly across the street from the grocery store so popular it’s practically a cult. They have nothing, but there’s never a line.
The only thing across from that grocery store is a CVS which has some food but ridiculously expensive. There is a...

The high today is going to be 55. And sunny. Tonight we have a “special weather statement” which is the national weather service’s way of freaking out all the idiots who are antsy that we haven’t had winter yet. Oh god we’re going to have accumulation. Oh god the world is ending!
Y’all, they’re handing out this weather statement but we have basically 0...

One of the most annoying things on the planet are the douchebags who see you trying to get into a huge line of traffic in a slow moving lane and rather than be a kind person and let you in front of them so you’re not blocking traffic in another lane because you need to get over in a limited space, they make sure you know they’re not going to.
Not only does this make traffic worse than...
