TheOrcKing Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 1) Wife and I finally paid off our student loan debt...debt free except our house. (Promptly bought myself an Exosuit to celebrate)With all I always hear about student loans, this is fantastic news. :good: 1 Quote
Ciglione Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Two things I love this week: 1) Wife and I finally paid off our student loan debt...debt free except our house. (Promptly bought myself an Exosuit to celebrate) 2) Ordered a technical climbing jacket and shirt from Eddie Bauer (retail $270). They were both on sale ($134) and had an additional 40% off at checkout ($80). Apparently their dinosaur system couldn't actually accept my paypal payment, even though it said it could. I had to call to give a new form of payment. The CS Rep gave me an additional 40% off for a total shipped of $48. Booyah. That is really something to celebrate! Well done! And people always made fun of Beavis and Butthead... at least they do not have student loans to pay off. 3 Quote
hxckid88 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I have zero student debt and my gf has e Pugh for two people as she's finishing up grad school. I guess it balances out. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
TheOrcKing Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I love Flickr. There are some days where I deliberately go searching for something spiffy but nothing 'pops'. However at the same time I will end up stumbling across a build that catches my attention and sometimes I just keep coming across more awesomeness. Downside is I can't share it all at once. Not only lack of space for posting in a single reply but also heads would explode from such super-sweet sauce made from 100% pure win crammed into one serving. Quote
ravenb99 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 The fact that this months mini build robot 40128 looks like the brick analyst avatar Quote

speedsausage Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 As contradictory as this sounds, I'm loving the terrible 2's. The little guy is trying to make sentences and how things are starting to register with him like traffic lights, red is stop, green is go. I'm especially lovin' when he shows an interest in the hobbies I like. He'll bring his lego (Duplo) downstairs to build with me or he'll ask to go outside to play "hockey ball"! I've even been turning down the overtime at work to make sure I don't miss this part of life because I know the teens are right around the corner. Good times! 7 Quote

My son didn't get too defiant until he turned 3. He spent a good amount of time in the corner then. My daughter, well, she's 2 and already spending some time in the corner. Quote

Five was pretty good and six and seven have returned to the I can do no wrong... As they learn to communicate, they don't always do it well. Our youngest is learning everything sooner. Take the good and bad I guess. :) 1 Quote

He knows what's going on, he will give you that look before doing something that he knows pushes your buttons. Quote

gregpj Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) It's tough some days, man! Yesterday after school my oldest took a scrap paper and wrote on it... "$20 Ticket For Talking Back" and waited until I gave him s*** for something and handed it to me. I laughed, thanked him for it, then proceeded to give it back to him about 20 minutes later. ** Edit: And I've passed 1500 posts so I finally get a new forum rank avatar. The robot minifig wasn't doing it for me. ** Edited March 12, 2015 by gregpj 3 Quote

exciter1 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Posted April 18, 2015 I love it when I'm 3 timezones away, but still manage to find the corn dog truck at Star Wars Celebration. Quote
exciter1 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I love it when my son and daughter are more excited about getting foam swords and shields at Legoland, than the LEGO itself. That probably saved me a $100, so we left with $40 in battle gear. I wish I could say the same for my wife's affinity for novelty t-shirts. She easily quadrupled our bill.My son did the same thing at Disney. I was totally fine with giving in for the $25 build-a-saber, than the other stuff he could have asked for.

Awesome. & been there done that. Saber build was fun. Did they make you keep the tape on the end until u left the park? Quote
exciter1 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 No, it was ready to go and nobody said anything at the park. Plenty of kids had them... Quote
ISO8T0 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 We didn't either. How can you deny that kind of joy!? Quote
