Here is a list of things I want to talk about this combo fan season:

Hot dogs
Best plant to grown in a garden, and how best to define "best"
Titan Fall (when you are in a Titan, what's the best way to kill other Titans?)
Andrew Luck, keeper star of the future?
Crab legs
If you have an LLC, is it a wise move to lease a car?
Deodorants, why do some brands stop being effective after a while, and is that just me and I have cancer?
Best way to catch lightning bugs
Which Star Wars characters are you hoping the expand upon in the new movies?
Should I dump Sprint and go with Verizon?
Nachos
Are lake houses really worth it, or should I just rent when I need it?
Chippers, if there wasn't a 14 club limit, would you use one?  I would.  And, 14 club limits suck, I bring what I want.
Coolest things to do with fire crackers
When you smell asphalt what do you think of?  I think of Worlds of Fun.
Cilantro

reason you like county fairs: nostalgia/irony/earnestness/fun factor
what do you do with people you have an acquaintance-ish fleeting connection to but you want to be friends with (how to approach your friend crush)
professional interaction stereotypes/memes (sales guy, doctor, manly outdoor/fix it guy, dads, college bros, aggieville service industry types)  I would really like to see this take off, not sure how to get it started though

Lake houses.  Idea for future is to buy one, sell six or seven shares to it to others, create an HOA'ey type thing for the one house and hire maint through some caretaker.   Be the one to set it all up, overvalue your share over the others by ownership %, and get what you want, where you want, when you want while six or seven other owners help you pay for it and argue over the left over share times.

Also, may be a beach condo rather than lake house, but who knows.

Set some escrow sitch similar to what is tacked on to a standard mort.  HOA could recoup non payment through regaining property and reselling shares.

1/2 a yellow onion
2 jalapeƱos with seeds
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon of garlic
paprika
a chipotle pepper in adobo

put all that into a food processor and while it's running, drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil.

refrigerate for a couple hours to let the flavors come together

Also, may be a beach condo rather than lake house, but who knows.

why not just buy your own lake house?

to do so, I would feel like I would have to spend most weekends at it.  I love the lake and all, but I am not going to do that.  Kids have sports, Wildwildcat games, maintaining my non-lake house, etc.  Seems silly unless I am one of those ppl that has to be on the boat every single weekend and I am not. 

My idea allows you to have what you want, when you want it, and probably nicer than you could afford without such an arrangement.  Also, I am a contractor.  I could build it, charge the holding company full market value, and purchase my share(or at least heavily subsidize it) with the profits that would equate to my fee.  I mean, this is a win/win thing as long as I could sell the remaining shares.

Also, guys, the key is to sell the shares to ppl you aren't friends or family with.  Otherwise, the ppl that you would want to bring with you on your weekends wouldn't come because they have their own weekends.  Also, that way you can get super mean with the other owners through the HOA if they are slacking on their responsibilities.

How often do you take your wedding ring off

Inside scoop from working in hotels: People take their wedding ring off and lose it a lot

Scoop some of you may not want to hear:  It is usually the wife that does it

My wife doesn't sleep with it on.  Really she only puts it on if she's leaving the house and even then sometimes she'll forget and we're out to dinner and she'll comment "I wonder if people think you're having an affair."   :sdeek:

I have never taken mine off.  I'm afraid I will lose it if I do.  :runaway:

Lake houses.  Idea for future is to buy one, sell six or seven shares to it to others, create an HOA'ey type thing for the one house and hire maint through some caretaker.   Be the one to set it all up, overvalue your share over the others by ownership %, and get what you want, where you want, when you want while six or seven other owners help you pay for it and argue over the left over share times.

Also, may be a beach condo rather than lake house, but who knows.

why not just buy your own lake house?

to do so, I would feel like I would have to spend most weekends at it.  I love the lake and all, but I am not going to do that.  Kids have sports, Wildwildcat games, maintaining my non-lake house, etc.  Seems silly unless I am one of those ppl that has to be on the boat every single weekend and I am not. 

My idea allows you to have what you want, when you want it, and probably nicer than you could afford without such an arrangement.  Also, I am a contractor.  I could build it, charge the holding company full market value, and purchase my share(or at least heavily subsidize it) with the profits that would equate to my fee.  I mean, this is a win/win thing as long as I could sell the remaining shares.

Also, guys, the key is to sell the shares to ppl you aren't friends or family with.  Otherwise, the ppl that you would want to bring with you on your weekends wouldn't come because they have their own weekends.  Also, that way you can get super mean with the other owners through the HOA if they are slacking on their responsibilities.
I think your HOA plan is interesting but makes more sense for a destination type home like at a beach or in the mountains where the shareholders would want to use a week at a time a few times per year.  Seems like there is too short a season and too much emphasis on the holiday weekends to be able to find people that would want to share it with 6 or 7 others.

Agreed.  That works out anyway, I am much more of a mountain or beach than I am a lake person.

Mountains would be pretty ideal.  I don't ski and love the mountains in the summer.  Leaves prime times open to lure other investors/owners.

How often would you guess the owner gets it back?

Depends on the property.  We have a pretty high success rate where I am.  Pretty much everyone found gets claimed.  An occasional one doesn't turn up after someone says they lost it but a lot of times that is due to them losing it somewhere else or finding it in their bags a week later.

We had one dropped outside in feet of snow and it turned back up in the spring.

that's fair.  my parents built a lake place but they go like every weekend and are going to retire there eventually.  makes more sense in that situation I suppose.

Well, what should I do now? 

Mike Macfarlane and Jamie Bluma tell me every rough ridin' morning to not get excited about Royals games, so I am going to trust those Pros and not give a crap about the Royals until it's football season...and I stop giving a crap about them regardless at that time of the year, so....

Book thread sort of died out for me when people started posting about artsy crap.

True Blood has really jumped the shark.  I will still watch but, meh.  That one about rapturish stuff is from the Lost guys, and I don't trust them not to eff me again.

I want entertainment.  :sad:
