Hulu is the greatest thing on the internet. Watching television on Hulu is an infinitely better experience than watching it via time warner cable, and still pretty far ahead of Dish Network (they have way better boxes than TW).Comment

Can you buy contacts online without a prescription? I know my prescription but its 13 months old, so legally expired by one month. I don't want to have to pay for another exam. My sister tried to do this but they called her eye doctor to verify her prescription and it was expired. I wonder if that was just that store, though.
Also, what are the best contacts these days? My current contacts are really crappy and dry out and irritate my eyes after like 8 hours. I've heard a lot of good stuff about the acuvue oasis. Any thoughts on the matter?
My new job has shitty optical insurance. The coverage amount is fine but its supported only at really crappy places like Stein optical and shit. Historically I've always worn Nautica or Ralph Lauren glasses. Now if I wanted to go that route they'd be like 350 bones. So, instead, I'm getting some Guess glasses from the mall. They'll be about 100 bucks and don't look as nice, but I guess they'll have to do. I'm not some pretentious dude but I must say the quality of eye doc I have access to now is a huge step down.
I really want my own apartment. I do not really want roommates but I also don't want to waste the money on a place by myself. Life is more complicated as an adult and it greatly bothers me. I would almost feel guilty renting a nice place at this stage of my life knowing I'm still paying off debt and don't have an emergency fund established yet. I don't know why I feel this way but it just doesn't seem right to rent a place by myself.
Bretsky, any word on them extending the tax credit for first time home buyers?Comment

No. Every place will call. That's the law."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

I think they extended it, and not just for first timers. If you've been in your home for X years you'll get $6500. Can't remember what X is.Comment

Great quote from Jon Stewart:

Any idea what this means.....Originally posted by retailguy
Who gets the credit, and how much can they claim?
"First-time home buyers are eligible for up to $8,000 on the tax credit, which is the same as the current credit. The Senate version of the bill creates a new credit of up to $6,500 for homeowners who have lived in their homes for five years. That provision would start on Dec. 1".
5 years. Do they mean less than 5 years?

Im not experienced in this area of tax, but I would assume it's 5 years or more to be eligible for the reduced credit. That way there's a credit to get new people into the market and a credit to create stimulus among those who have been in their homes for a while.Originally posted by GrnBay007Comment

That would stink. Dec. 1st I will be in my home 4.5 yrs.Originally posted by MichiganPackerFanComment

They credit would only apply if you were purchasing a new home. Generally those laws are laid out to include ownership of five years or more (you would be eligible in June) and required period of time where it is your principle residence, similar to the exclusion of gain on a principle residence. Again, I haven't read the bill and I haven't seen that it passed (although a version of it likely will). Chat with your CPA and make sure you have the right period of time under your belt before you buy!!! These are my thoughts and NOT TAX ADVICE!!!Originally posted by GrnBay007Comment
