:greetings10:Just a quick note since I happened to be passing by... The interpretation of this study apparently equates being alive with being healthy. The most wonderful thing about our bodies is that we can obviously abuse them tremendously and they will keep on working, not very well, but...

I read that there's a glut of chicken breasts in the US because the dark meat of the chicken, which is preferred worldwide (except in the US) is exported overseas to foreign countries for higher profits. The Americans like breast meat, so the price is jacked up because of demand so the profit...

The bottom line is that those of us who bust their balls to stay in shape and remain healthy will continue to pay through the nose for the medical care of the vast majority of who choose to remain unhealthy. Kind of like the commercial where the guy says he's not willing to give up taste for the...

I'm afraid that most of the tips for saving $$ are akin to telling me how to breath (at least for us). We've had nothing for so long that it's become a way of life. The greatest tip I would suggest is to stay healthy. The health care system is a mess and very expensive only if you're sick. My...

Tank, tanked, tanking... Tis a currently much overused word that I, for one, am tired of hearing. But that's just me... I could be totally wrong!

With all due respect, there is only a $9 per month spread between the highest and lowest premium so it really doesn't matter (to me) which one you choose.

I have come to the conclusion that the reason "government" seeks stability in the world is that instability so quickly and clearly demonstrates how incompetent "government" really is. Case in point, does anyone actually believe that those in-charge actually have a clue as to what corrective...

Unfortunately, people doing whatever makes them happy does, indeed, impact others. For example, motorcyclists who insist on riding without a helmet get hurt, file insurance claims, and cause everyones insurance premiums to rise. If the majority of people are fools (I won't argue THAT point)...

Interesting. Per usual I got nothing out of the little article on saving $20,000 a year. We don't eat out at all because it's unhealthy, cell phone at $38 a month, 3 cars paid for and total full coverage insurance at $600 a year, and we buy our clothes at Goodwill. We're both happy as a clam and...

Oh yeah, clothes. I bought a suit at Goodwill for $25 and got it altered for $35, all for my older son's wedding. I also got a fantastic heather tweed sports coat for $6. Perfect fit!!! Of course, its a small point that I was buying clothes at the Starvation Army and Goodwill well before it...

Maybe I have an over-active imagination, but if our current economy should go to a possible conclusion of collapse, won't my bank account, money markets, and ATM machines be worthless. I wonder if it wouldn't be prudent to have maybe $10,000 in cash for buying neccesities when the system is...

Missed it. However, Cramer is no slouch, he's totally capable of making an ass out of himself on his own without outside help!

Gotta love the forecasts with per cent probabilities. I'd say he has a 98.456% chance of having his head up his butt! But I could be wrong (2.453% chance).:coolsmiley:

Ah, yes. No Grateful Dead, but I have smoked oregano when I was a newbie:laugh:!

Just a quick response (and not having read 72 pages of thread responses!!!!:blink::laugh:). I turn 60 next week and had a personal high of 285# for weight! Last June I stopped taking the antidepressants I'd been on for years and joined SNAP fitness. Six months later I was down to 200#. I've...
