    I bought my car over the phone from a dealer in Illinois. I contacted them via autotrader.com. Soon afterward my cellphone was ringing. I simply did not answer and let them do their sales pitch and give me their price (I asked in the e-mail if they would come down in price, but was not specific. In my case, it was a used car, and like somebody said earlier, they wanted to move it. It's a V8 and this is when the fuel economy thing was taking off so I knew it may have been on the lot a while. So I played my advantage and called with a counteroffer that was reasonable, but a bit lower than I was willing to pay. He shot back another offer which was about perfect. Not answering that first call was nice, as it gave me time to digest everything and decide what I wanted to reply with. I've had a professional sales class in college, but while I would make a horrible salesman myself it really helped in my negotiating with salesmen.

    I once had a breathalyzer during my college years. A few times I remember blowing about a .32-.35. And that's when I was still on my two feet and remember it. I'm sure I've hit .4 a few times. I definitely had a tolerance then. Can't quite do that anymore http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Thanks for those tips. If that is what Scottsdale is like, I'll probably avoid that. Definitely looking for more laid back places to party. Got any more specific areas or places?

    Thankfully, my Christmas bonus was enough to completely pay off all my credit cards and then some. With the CC debt down to zero, the tax return gives me the flexibility to fly out to spring training and not put any of it on my credit card. Maybe I'll make a bigger car payment. Definitely spend a fair amount at the tavern, too.

    Cow, especially if the milk counts too, as that would add cheese to the mix and make things like cereal and cookies taste better. The only thing I'd be missing is my bacon in my bacon cheeseburger.

    I'm also in the planning stages of going out there. Maybe some of you all around here could help. Right now I'm not quite sure where to stay. I've heard everything about the area where the park is and that there really isn't a whole lot there. My hope is to balance the baseball and night activities. Would it be smarter to get a hotel more near the park and cab it to wherever we go at night or get a place near where we go at night and cab it to the park. I also realize some of the games we go to might not be at Maryvale so that may be a consideration. The other thing I am wondering about is what to do at night. Not sure if the college scene in Tempe is too much up my alley, but I also don't plan on going to upscale establishments to sip wine. Just a decent place I can get a good whiskey. Any good local beers in the area? Also, perhaps an idea for this site is a Spring Training FAQ. Each year I know these topics come up and maybe if there was an easy resource put together by people that know what they are talking about it'd be very helpful. Don't know if there is anybody around here with the knowledge and/or initiative to put such a thing together but I thought I'd at least bring it up.

    I started working for pay at about age 7 for my dad on the farm. I started at $0.50/hour. Child slavery, I tell ya. Nah, I just had to help out a little after school feeding the calves. I worked t home until I graduated high school when I went and worked for a USDA Research Farm near me. A government farm with union labor was very interesting considering I came from a family operated farm. Pay wasn't good, but it got me experience on a different farm. Next year, I worked at a sports medicine factory (Mueller's). Every person in college should work in a factory or pouring concrete for a summer. It's good incentive to stay in school. I was teetering in school when I worked in the factory but came away knowing I needed to finish school. I also worked at a Dairy Queen while in college. I basically became a cook, and on some winter nights I'd have a contest to see if I could eat more food than I actually cooked for customers. The crazy owner still liked me regardless. Now I'm back full circle working on the farm I grew up on. Much different these days though.

    Right now the HD channels show up from channel 70-79 with a few in the 90's occaisionally. I don't believe you see these on a non-HD receiver.

    So far, I'm getting the Marlins' pregame on Extra Innings in the Madison area. Not sure if they will black it out when the game starts. I know last week's Dodger feed was blacked out from the get-go.
  10. JonnyLungs
    Boy, they sure played early this morning http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    My favorite former Brewer is starting today!

    Apparently Branyan will be starting for the D-Rays tonight. I might check it out because I wanted to see the D-Rays play.

    Will this be available on mlb.tv for those inside the Brewer area? I happen to be in an area that is considered Brewer territory but get my cable from Comcast out of St. Paul. Hence I'm stuck with the Twins and Minnesota stuff in Wisconsin.

    I had the exact same problem. Every single other website worked except the forums here. I had an older router that was causing the problem. The baffling thing was that if I hooked directly into my modem it would work, and would continue to work after I went back to my router (my roomates needed access). Then a short while later (maybe a day or two) I'd have to rinse and repeat, so to say. Since then I've moved to another place and another router and it's worked like a charm.

    He did eventually show up instead of making a big stink about it. That's why I'm more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Of course any possibly personal problems for our up and coming star have to be concerning. That's why if there is something going on, let him deal with it early this offseason and hope he's ready to play ball in the spring.

    Some people might feel Prince is just copping out on playing this fall but when somebody leaves for personal reasons I don't believe it's anybody's role to judge him if we aren't in tune to the situation. Especially somebody like Prince who has had some genuinely strong personal situations to deal with. I'm not saying anybody has said anything but I'm sure some will think he's just using personal reasons as an excuse for laziness.

    Have I missed something or where has Ryan Anderson been?
  18. JonnyLungs
    Don't mess with Tommy Phelps.
  19. JonnyLungs
    How many people are at the game? 20?
  20. JonnyLungs
    The Little Unit with 5 K's in 2 2/3 IP. Nice outing. Hopefully his arm can hold up but I wonder if he might be best as a reliever.

    Simply me drinking hasn't helped the Brewers win the last few nights. Tonight my roomate and I will sacrifice two cans of Budweiser. Scream alcohol abuse all you want, but this alcohol deserves it. I'll have another High Life please. The late start on Friday should save me money I would be spending at the bars.
  22. JonnyLungs
    I actually don't mind seeing Helms' name in the lineup.
  23. JonnyLungs
    Maybe I can try and polish off an eighteen pack of High Life. Then if they lose I won't remember the game anyway.
  24. JonnyLungs
    I'll be trying to break the jinx by drinking High Life again tonight. Maybe I just wasn't drinking hard enough last night.
  25. JonnyLungs
    The Brewers will win tonight because I'm going to get some Miller High Life and will them to victory. Okay, so it didn't work last weekend, but tonight is different.
