    I try not to pay it much mind.
    My paycheck is direct deposit. All my bills except water bill are autopay.
    I put money in every week.
    Every month everyone digs their hands in, takes their bits and I make sure they don't start taking too many.

    As far as the registration conversation goes.
    I'll waste money on fees at the nearest kiosk.
    Otherwise, there's a tiny corner of a state building that has a dmv in it. Open Tue. and Thur.
    Most people don't know about it.

    I'll add to the registration story.

    I bought my 3rd gen in April (when my plates are due) 2018 for some reason I thought the dealer took care of the registration when he swapped my plates.
    The following year when my registration was double, I knew why.

    Went the entire year with expired plates. :rofl::anonymous:

    Then they just take a WAG. Some years ago, a former co-worker did that. The town came back with a ridiculous number. He fought with the town for months, saying: I wish I could sell the place for what you're assessing me at.

    I do 5-6 shots of espresso and then steam half and half to a rich froth every morning. But, I also start my day at 8:15 with seven graders...

    I asked my doctor, and he's not sure whether that or Mt Dew is the correct answer in the morning...:rofl:

    I used to make Mt. Dew. Trust me when I say it is not the answer. Way too much high fructose corn syrup, way too much caffeine and the amount of sodium benzoate is off the charts. The benzoate gave me a rash on my forearms every time I made it. Had to scoop it from a food grade trash can. It is dusty stuff. That's just the ingredients I had to add to the batch. As for the Mt Dew concentrate, I have no idea what chemicals lurked in those 5 gal pales. I won't drink that shit.

    A stick of butter and a cup of coffee is probably better for you than a Mountain Dew. :D

    Yeah, lots of shite in Mtn Dew, but the caffeine content is pretty weak compared to modern day energy drinks. I do a 10oz coffee in the morning and another coffee in the afternoon, or if needed a Celsius. 12oz Mtn Dew is 55mg caffeine. 12oz Celsius is 200mg. Up to 250mg is considered "safe" for most. I don't slam it. I sip it.

    True. It's funny how people thought Jolt was bad with 71mg back in the '80's, and that's nothing now.

    According to my dentist, sipping is a good way to get cavities and tooth decay by allowing those sugars and acids to sit on your teeth for prolonged periods.

    I was told to slam it.

    The cans have a special spray on plastic liner so they don't corrode. Mnt Dew is the pestilence of the can world because of the sheet they put in it. V-8 is easier on cans than Mnt Dew...
