I was actually thinking about that today. I live like a rich person compared to the average citizen in say India. A person making minimum wage here lives better than most of the worlds population. Yes Hollywood does make the life of an average American family seem much higher than is realistic...

I agree. The standard of living is going to drop for a lot of people. He only gave 2 options to correct the problem. The one he missed is to raise taxes on wealthy people. Just raising their tax by 3% would take us a long way out of the hole created when those taxes were dropped from the...

You think 2 cans and a string is safe? Man you better tighten up the security.

Looks like the US has one of the lowest rates of inflation of the countries on the graph. Looks like Argentina is having a lot worse problems than we are.

She's a draft and has a very large hoof. Got one knee worse than the other. I was able to hobble around. Thank you Percocet. Easy operation, very minor scar. Doc gave me crutches which I used the day I came home. I was just careful to keep weight off whichever leg had not been operated on. Even...

We have to take a security course every year. One of the big no no's besides no porn sites is using company e-mail for personal use. I'm extremely careful. I don't want to lose my job over some stupid e-mail or visiting an unauthorized site. I wonder if companies like UPS and Fed Ex routinely...

Sounds like you have an MRI in your future. Probably have a torn meniscus aka cartilage. Nothing a little laproscopic surgery won't fix. Had it on both my knees after DW's horse kicked them at the same time. Down for 3 days. Bad time of year for knee surgery though. Of course winter is...

I heard they were starting to make phones that transfer data into your brain when you talk on them. It's like having a chip embedded. That way they can track where you are all the time. It's a homeland security thing. Yeah, I could understand where a phone embedding the coordinates would be...

Works fine to leave the rings off in storage. DW does it all the time. New jars always come with rings and any time you get used jars they usually have rings.

If he wants to get rid of the pain. I have had gout attacks in the past and they are horrible. The best thing to wipe it out for now is a round of steroids. They come in a 7 day pack that starts with 8 little pills and go down one every day until they are gone. The pain will be gone by day two...

Allopurinol. Not very natural, but it's very effective at totally eliminating symptoms and it is cheap. Otherwise no coffee or anything high in acid. Gout is caused by the bodies inability to process acidic food. It forms into crystals and is just like having microscopic shards of glass in your...

Actually it all depends on where you live. In Iowa you could probably keep a bred dairy cow going and get meat from the calves on an acre or two and put some hay up for the winter. Here in Colorado you would need 35 acres to do the same and you would have to prep the land for a couple years to...

I have to disagree. Little Joe was always going to the feed store. :)

I wouldn't do anything illegal. It would all be discussed with a BK lawyer before I did anything. It's called survival mode. I have 5 kids to take care of. I could give a hoot about the moral part with 5 kids to feed and house. I don't owe money to anyone except very large corporations. I'm not...

No, but it's a bridge as they like to say. The shortages now slow down consumption and put pressure on someone to do something. It will be a while before alternative methods are affordable. During this last election the people in some areas made it very clear they didn't want to waste money on...

Great point Jared. I didn't understand why they were holding onto the house either. Our house is upside down by about 100k. We have thought about walking away, but the cost of renting a house plus the extra tax we would pay is within 200.00 of what our mortgage is. We can keep animals here and...

That's the scary part there. Meat is already ridiculous. It keeps getting higher as more and more countries obtain higher standards of living. One of the big changes people make when they have more money is adding meat to their diet, so meat and grain to feed it is becoming ever more needed. I...

We didn't get married till we were 75 though. :(

Glad to hear they use meat. Our dogs supplement their diet with cat poop. Never had a dog with rotting or missing teeth either. I think most people with obese pets and pets with rotting food feed a little too much human food to their pets. I know they all claim not to, because they know it's bad...

Our 2nd date was on valentines day. She gave the chocolates to her daughter.
