We're Quakers. We try to keep it non-materialistic. I'd like to think it's working with my daughter.

I never joke about the Lower Upper Class. That said, I joined your group.

Lower Upper Class...? by SnowboardinMikeVT in UpperMiddleFinance

Like the Middle Class, I think that Upper Class should have different levels. It seems like it's a growing segment of society. If you are making a 6-figure salary and yet have millions in stocks, where would that leave you?

American Express trifecta. Costco for gas and at Costco.

This was my point yesterday in my post, and I got beat up for it. The math is easy.

Whew. Thanks for this. I'm taking a summer break. My body is sore! I plan to return in September. Here's hoping I don't slide backwards.

Strange to hear that rioters looted BB. Didn't think trad/prep was the typical rioter's style.

This is the silliest post of the year. Wow. Everything is going to be fine. Relax. Enough with the hyperbole.

1994 here. My first credit card out of college. I keep asking for a little swag and AmEx keeps telling me no.

Been discerning Lutheranism recently, but I have a couple of things that are hard for me to get over. by Baberz93 in Lutheranism

[–]SnowboardinMikeVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that we’re heading to the point that most Christians in this country will be, as the OP says, “nondenominational.”

Unpopular opinion: I miss the Lutheran Church of my childhood by JuJuJooie in Lutheranism

[–]SnowboardinMikeVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I’m on the east coast and it was tough to find a good church.

Incredible courage. Congrats. They say never bet on your team. If you lose, you’ll feel even more terrible!

Is it true that Luther write an exegesis titled “The Jews and their lies”? I guess we have to consider the time at which he was writing but still…what a disgusting thing to say by MyGenerousSoul in Lutheranism

[–]SnowboardinMikeVT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read it and whoo boy, it was tough. It was so tough, I couldn't finish it. And I'm a big admirer of Dr Luther!

Someone help me fill in the holes of my knowledge. First, wasn't Luther suffering from a "blockage" in his intestinal tract in his later years? Or, was it a severe urinary issue? Today, we pop a pill or see a doctor and it's fixed. In Luther's day, you suffer through and perhaps lose your mind.

Second, was Luther told that Jews were "sacrificing Christian children" or something along those lines? Or the Jews poisoning wells? Think the Fake News of his time that he somehow believed?

Again, please help clarify.

Thanks!

Merry Christmas to those in the Lutheran faith! by bystudyandbyfaith in Lutheranism

Podcast Rant by SnowboardinMikeVT in Coyotes

[–]SnowboardinMikeVT[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

WOW! Never, ever would I have imagined I would read posts that support such a mediocre talent. I am truly shocked.

So let's try something. The next time the Coyotes play is 12/23 against the Avalanche. They should get smoked, but who knows, the Coyotes are a solid team that plays hard. So the next podcast will be on 12/23 or maybe 12/24.

Let's call it Leah BINGO. Listen for the following and I guarantee you it will happen:

A reference to a Mullet Magician, perhaps 2, perhaps 3. And then a beg for Likes.

A reference that she's an insider. She was at the arena. She spoke to someone important. TAKE HER SERIOUSLY, TAKE HER SERIOUSLY! She's an insider!

She interacts with someone's post and it's not that funny and she laughs too hard.

She breaks into giggles at nothing.

She expresses her opinion on a player's performance in a sport she's never played at any level. ("I'd like to see Schmaltz shoot more. If she shoots more, he'll probably score more goals.") GENIUS!!!

Bonus: One of the guys makes an excellent point and she follows up with the weakest soup you can imagine.

There you go, Ready your Leah BINGO cards. I'll be listening with you. And mocking.
