Nevadans?

LOL! Now, c'mon, men are very handy to have around especially to (1) get things off the tall shelf (2) take out garbage (3) squish bugs. There used to be (4) bbq'ing, but you know what? Cooking with fire is kinda fun! Although I think most guys use it as an excuse to be able to stand around with a beer can in hand. Actually, I do let him bbq, but I do the smokin' rotisserie.
Every once in a while pass off the pickle or jam jar to somebody with a stronger grip.... "Yoohoo! I *need* a big strong man!" Yeah, no man can resist.... Men want to feel needed and love to come to the rescue. Fact o' life in Spouse Husbandry 101.

Of course, the downside of owning vs. renting (for me, anyway) is that every time he goes to the video kiosk he comes back with either cartoons or something with (1) exploding helicoptors (2) hour-long car chases (3) incredibly endowed vapid women in some sort of peril (4) lots of gunfire. No matter how talented she is, do you think I'm going to get him to willingly sit through a Meryl Streep movie? Nahhhhh....

but, yeah, ya gotta love 'em!

I can related on the movie rental thing. I've see way more action movies than I ever dreamed I would.

Haha! You all crack me up. DH and I are opposites in a lot of ways. I mean opposites from the typical guy/girl stereotypes. I handle all the finances, I was the "do it all myself" DIY person when we met but he knew plumbing and framing and has been learning ever since how to do the other stuff. He's the one that cries when watching sad movies, I'm the one that points out why the story line is unbelievable. I have no problem squishing bugs but yeah he gets to take care of the mice and rats. He gets his feelings hurt easily and I am the one more likely to crack a stupid joke at the wrong time. He's a worry wart about everything, I'm somewhere in the middle but seem super relaxed by comparison.

I HATE asking for directions and he freaks the second he doesn't recognize something and wants to pull over immediately to ask directions (and we usually find our way in a few seconds right where I thought it should be but I have a freaky good sense of direction so it's not fair to pick on him for that). We both love cars but yes he knows more about them than I do and will more often be right about what year a certain car is but I am more often right when diagnosing car trouble but my sense of smell and my hearing are still excellent and his are going fast.

Now that my back is shot though he gets to step into the guy role more often but when it comes to design and planning he admits he's useless. He is also more compassionate than I am, more willing to help (he seriously wants to help everyone!). I like to help folks but feel like it needs to work both ways, although he has gotten very upset when he feels like someone is taking advantage of me. He is also very protective and has a very hard time saying "no". Especially to me (I have to remind him it's OK to be tired and not want to do something). He's nicer than I am most of the time and he loves to clean (which I detest).

Oh he does open all the really tough jars for me though! hahaha All in all it works out quite well. Of course some of the reasons we get along so well can't be talked about here!

Hey. So I found out that having No credit is worse than having bad credit. No one wants to fund my loan. My mom said research an 'intrest only' loan, And I'm thinking about a privateloan. Any ideas?
BTW, Ideal's gotsome cool specials going on, and they've restocked everything.
Sorry, my spacebar is trying todie.

I'm 23 and in your same boat I had zero credit before I bought my car and even now it took a million applications for me to get a credit card so I could actually start building credit. Basically in this economy someone your age has a zero percent chance of getting a loan without a cosigner and even then it's iffy. It took me years to finally start somewhere because they make it so hard to actually build credit. But your right no credit IS bad credit. I had to get a cosigner for my car and then a year later refinance in my name when I could prove all payments were made from my bank account on time.
Even now only one credit card company would give me a card and it's not even with my bank. The limit is low and the interest is high. If you're not paying bills, working full time, and renting or paying mortgage is almost impossible to get a loan- its so backwards!
