Cod Liver Oil The brand I buy is Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil. I started with one tablespoon per day for a month and now I take 2 tsp. per day. It's the only supplement where I have seen a dramatic improvement. I question the efficacy of a lot of the supplements on the market. I have a...

Vitamin Supplements I also endorse Vitamin D supplements but they must be bioavailable. I was taking the tablets for a couple of years and they did nothing for my Vitamin D level which was very low. I switched to liquid cod liver oil which is high in Vit. A, Vit. D and omega 3's. Within 3...

Thanks to all for your input. I am in agreement with many of you that Purdue seems to be the smarter, most cost-effective choice. I have not heard from anyone that chose Indiana for the additional $20,000 cost. In retrospect I should have tried to get my son to state more clearly what his...

What would you do? This may be a bit off topic but the potential decision is driving me crazy. Our middle son has his college selection down to two choices. He has been accepted into the business school of both colleges. Option 1. Indiana University. Total annual cost (out of state...

Does anyone have any advice/experience with 55 plus mobile home communities? I recently toured one in Florida. What are the pros and cons? What should one watch out for?

Same Thing Happened to Me I received a check for the amount returned and it had Federal taxes taken out. The taxes you now paid will be claimed in 2013. It wasn't too bad.
