I have two roommates that each pay $300 as well. Given the housing market I'm in, and how little other stuff I get from my landlord, it actually isn't *that* great. But, hey, I couldn't have gotten *much* better, and this was the easiest way to find an apartment.

I pay 410$/month for my 875/sq foot house. And that isnt rent.

After taxes, the TV was ~1980$. After taxes the 1000$ puppy was about 1100$ and after GETTING the 350$ puppy he was about 900$. So once agaian. I am right. Your not.

Which probably explains why you can afford all of that stuff ... PS. I hate you

Just Purchased http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_HL_S5688W/4505-6484_7-31962827.html Didn't Feel like saving for the XBR2, I'll probably be mad at myself after the first lamp burns out.

I'm deeply sorry for not knowing every minute detail of your life. Speaking of which, how does a $350 dollar dog turn into ~$900? If you're factoring in expenses after you purchased him, than your being highly deceitful. But that aside, I'm just glad you don't lie in your post to get people angry or to incite humorous responses. I'm also glad that your sharp as a tack, and let nothing get past you, especially humor.

You should be sorry, you fuel.

No, the dog was 350$ and we had to drive 800 (one way)miles to pick it up. Factor in the 1 night hotel stay. Add my gas factor, that's 200$ gas, 100$ hotel, 100$ food bill. Holy crap. we quickly jump to 750$. without taxes. Add taxes, and vehicle wear. Your looking at over 1000$. EDIT: sieanr - can you please pick a signature smaller than that as well. I have broadband, and it chokes my connection. the file is over 700k. If someone was on dialup it would KILL their connection for at least 5 minutes... and if they press 'refresh' and it re-loads the image, that's at least another 5 minutes. Talk about being a jackass.

EDIT: Getting ready for Motorstorm? :P Beautiful Screen. However as a personal preference. (and the fact I have a small house) I love panels. so, the 40inch LCD. But That is one of the best looking 50+ inch screens for value. That is what I paid for my 40inch. I just never have had good experiences with Any type of projection screen. My main room is bright. A huge window takes up half one wall, and then a smaller window takes half of another wall. HORRIBLE for trying to use a TV. Why I settled for the screen I have. It's F*king bright. At night I actually turn the brightness WAAY down. Because it lights the room up more than a 60watt light. :P When I turn the brightness down, it puts out about as much light as a 'normal' TV. :P But in a room that bright, you have to do something. EDIT: Why does no-one mention my 1.50$ rat?

Again Kwaad, sorry for not knowing everything about you, but at least you respond. EDIT: Fixed things for you Kwaad EDIT #2: Does no one want to hear about my expensive laptop? Its more exciting than a rat! EDIT #3: What's funny about this topic? My friends tell me I'm gullible all the time, so maybe you're just trying to string me along.... or is there something I'm missing, possibly sarcasm?
