I thought you were a big Braves' fan? You were into them last year and they weren't as good as this season, I thought?

Been a nail biter tonight.

I usually am, but for some reason (probably a combination of work, girlfriend, moving and other factors) I haven't gotten into it this year. I've checked box scores and that type of stuff, but I haven't really watched any baseball.

He's a reverse bandwagoner...he only follows them during the lean years. :playball:

Ultimate conundrum: I want to eat. However, I now would prefer to eat healthy. However however, eating healthy costs money, and I have none. BUH.

Meanwhile, Pirates are going to lose. :(

They're just too worn out from yesterday's 19-inner (inninger?) and travel.

Red rice and beans! Bananas! Yogurt! There are some healthy/cheap options.

So, I bought a Coby 10" tablet for my wife for our anniversary which is next week. Currently putting it through its paces. It's no iPad but at 1/3 the price I didn't expect it to be. Maybe it'll pass the test.

If it doesn't work, I've used the Kindle Fire a few times. For $200, the thing is honestly pretty incredible. Let us know about the Coby!

Two things I like over the Fire (ok, 3) is it has a MicroSD slot for expanded storage and an HDMI out port (the 3rd is its larger screen size).

One negative is that the Coby cannot access the Google Play store (only Amazon App store and GetJar). I read that there is a rootkit fix to install Google Play, but it voids the warranty.

Really you just need to pony up and get the iPad, Dare. Sure it's a little more expensive... but can you really put a price on her being fully distracted to leave you to your devices? ;)

Eating healthy is less expensive. Grains, fruits, and vegetables are a lot cheaper than meat or anything pre-prepared.

Make one investment in spices per three to six month period, and you can make a lot of delicious and healthy dishes on a budget.

I ate on about $100/month when I lived alone.
