This is my position also. I believe I've even stated here in the past. People who are capable of exercising, exercise. People age at different rates. This is axiomatic and observable Quoting study results about longevity and exercise is laughable. Somewhere on this forum is a link to a Dr in...

Funny, I do the same thing. I also wonder about the people claiming the high numbers

In my case I do not "choose" a number, I just spend what I need and I guess I don't need much. Grew up with not much constantly hearing grown-ups in constant fear of "What are we gonna do if (almost anything) happens! "We can't AFFOOOOORD IT! But all the while bitching about standard of...

Just checked. I've hovered right around $16,000 - $17,00 per year core expenses except for about 10 yrs ago my books show 3 yrs at $19,000-$20,000. Have no idea why those years showed an uptick? Even the year I had the house sided + some other work I only got up to $26,000.

I'm surprised they still make them at all. Nowadays everything's on the cell phone or the satellite thing in your car. I loved those old Rand McNally road atlases. I still have one from 2008 and 1993.

I'm surprised they don't mention their therapists. Millions for physical health but not a penny for obsessive-compulsive disorder or Illness Anxiety Disorder?

I thought it was extremely interesting. I knew about Tabs because I play a little guitar but was unaware that so many alternate methods of music notation had been invented and tried over the years.

$130.00 for 1 million but the new policy will start in May so I should be getting a heads-up on any increases in the next few weeks. I don;t expect it to be much if any.

I am a little surprised they noticed an uptick. Throughout my life one thing I've noticed is that people, my more or less, peers, people who would be "old" now, could never seem to engage in any activity including sitting still without alcohol. And now that they're old they're drinking even...

Thanks for posting this. I used to watch this guy a lot but sort of drifted away for some reason. I think it comes down to what you mentioned. The Eagles sound too good for their age. Ergo for their age they sound like old guys. Probably lots of "wobble" in the mid range and strained or...

I lived in Germany, been to Switzerland and Austria and Netherlands. The all do it. Shut down for 2 hours for lunch. (Maybe they don't sleep like Spanish but it shuts down) Eat late. Go to bed on what I would think is a full stomach.

How long do these recordings run? Thanks for the link. Looks like it might be of some value

I had one done circa 2007 or so. It was $400 then. I'm sure they're a bit cheaper nowadays and probably more refined too.

I have no actual complaints with it. It's only and hour. The problem I ever had with it was when I was working. Always seemed to be on a night shift the night they changed the clocks BACK in the Fall, thus causing me to have to work the extra hour. As far as diddling with clocks... the...

Well, ya know some years back they shortened the calendar time for Standard Time and lengthened it for Daylight Saving Time. So, instead of 6 months - 6 months it's more like 4 months - 8 months. So, yes this time of year it really is "That time..AGAIN?!"

The World can be quite a dehumanizing place sometimes. Over time we all become what we have beheld to some extent. And usually not in a good way but we are left no choice.

Do they still make brown paper bags? If this gets any traction and starts to spread they might be a reasonable investment as more people brown bag it. Actually I don't have that much faith in people.

Reminding a little of the stories I heard as a boy about the price of a loaf of bread in Germany in the 1920's. Prices rose so fast the guy at the back of the line paid twice as much as the guy at the front of the line had.

I've bought cars in several States going back to 1980. (age 22) They don't exactly like it and they make me wait on, what I can only assume is a credit check and maybe a criminal background check, but I have always driven away with the car. And they were all outright purchases., not...

The only thing that makes me cringe more is the people who accept it. And I'm referring to only the demographic we are speaking of here. The Well-off. People who already have all the means needed to meet any emergency or life's vicissitudes. The truly needy or perhaps a young person who...

For the record: My statement was just about me. I was not preaching that others should do this or that. Yes, People have many reasons for eating these things. They're all fine. Altho I always ask "Why would a vegetarian/vegan even want a hamburger or sausage? Are vegetables not good enough...

The problem with adding lentils (not some protein extract) and rice is it raises the carb content. One of their selling points was protein like a real burger but not loaded with carbs that substitute. While I actually like their product (the Italian sausages are almost better than real!) I...

Ok. The bill from who? For test and break-in purposes I bought 500 mins for 30 days. I think I'm just depleting the mins and Megabytes I bought. The internet my phone says I was connected to... not sure how I connected to that one. It is my home internet company but the desk top uses a wire...

Ha ha. I was just whimsically bloviating. i knew what you meant. I still don't know HOW exactly I got online with my phone, The whole thing is needlessly complicated. I won't use it for anything (except short tests to unclassified websites) until I find out how to get my anti-malware...

You really can't know anything for sure. No "math" no "data" no "empiricism" can truly prove diddly. Empirical data is just your lying eyes reporting as ordered anyway. I do believe there is a one, true, certain, reality but even if we knew it we could never know that we knew it. Everything...
