    9% Inflation

    Actually the figures are accurate for what they are measuring. The fact that TV's are counted just as they have always been is ridiculous though. They look at the whole picture. Not just the parts that have always mattered. So for our purposes it suck's. Work's great on their end though. It's...

    new bank feature

    They have an I phone app for banking. It sounds like there are some security issues though. I have always used direct deposit. If I worked for a company that didn't have that option I would want to cash it in person. I don't trust ATM deposits. Other than that I do all my bill paying on line...

    Electronic Cigarettes

    Those have been around a few years. Been advertised for quite a while anyway. I'd like to know the actual process they use. They have the same thing for marijuana in case you have asthma and need it for pain relief, or just don't want to expose yourself to the burned version.

    Vitamin D fortified milk has corn in it!

    Maybe they'll find something besides corn since prices are going up due to ethanol demand. Glad I'm not allergic to corn. Don't drink milk anyway, so no problem there.

    ...

    The best use is to grind it up with the hamburger. It adds a lot of flavor and moisture to the patties when they are grilled. I always got rave reviews on my hamburgers. Never put more than a little seasoning salt on them.

    Waste of Your Money??

    I love watching military hardware. Jets are just beyond cool. They should have opened the dome and dropped some apple pie and baseballs.

    9% Inflation

    Makes you wonder what the real stats are. Of course we all knew inflation was around 9%. At least if you're buying anything that matters. I would like to know actual unemployment numbers. I know 1st time unemployment claims are down, which is good news. Of course that doesn't account for all the...

    Vanishing Business

    That's because they get money from the fed at 1% and invest it in the stock market instead of lending it.

    Cannabis as medicine for real, anyone?

    Fortunately there are a lot more states that allow it's use for medicinal purposes now. It's a good tax source too. Glad it helps your pain.

    Retirement?

    Could you post some info on that? I would like to see if that's for real or not. Since they have nothing to do with the portion we contribute, I don't see how they could touch it. I have heard that the employer contribution has some govt subsidizing going on. I would like to hear more about it.

    So is the s*%t starting to hit the fan for you?

    If you're out of debt and have a solid roof over your head with a heat source and water you're 90% of the way there.

    How are the gas prices in your area?

    So is the s*%t starting to hit the fan for you?

    You're not too optimistic. Things are already getting better. Like you said we are going through a reset. Those that are unemployed will find employment again. It just won't be at the same level as most. I'm sure a lot of people that were doing well before the depression and had to stand in...

    Food Processors

    The Kitchenaid is a nice one and works much better than a cheap unit. We had to replace the lid 2x though because the shaft that the blades go on uses the hole in the center of the lid as a bearing and wears out eventually. Then the shaft wobbles and wears out the bearings in the motor that is...

    Cheapest way to raise meat to eat

    We had 2 pigs that we fed a lot of table scraps and they had way too much fat on them. Pig fat may be great for you but I don't like a lot of it in pork chops or ribs or ham. Some is good and helps give the meat a nice flavor. Too much is gross. :( I like bacon that has some fat in it over real...

    So is the s*%t starting to hit the fan for you?

    You just said exactly what I said. I'm not blaming China or India for taking our jobs. I'm blaming the multi nationals who are simply doing their jobs. Make more money for their investors. Yes the jobs going to China and India didn't cause the actual collapse. The banksters and Wall Street along...

    So is the s*%t starting to hit the fan for you?

    The inevitable is that the world is turning economically flat. Our manufacturing and customer services industries as well as engineering are all going overseas. Multi national corporations are reaping the benefits of cheaper wages and no benefits supplied by other nations with a lower standard...

    Cannabis as medicine for real, anyone?

    Good point. I know a number of people that have smoked their entire lives. Not a one of them has any lung disease. These are people that are under the influence from the time their feet hit the floor till they fall asleep. I wouldn't expect a government website to say anything good about...

    Cannabis as medicine for real, anyone?

    Just like alcohol, anyone can get it. What people put into their bodies is there business. Sure as heck not the government at any level. There's no need to legalize it for general use. It's readily available. Medicinal marijuana is nothing more than very highly quality marijuana usually grown...
