    It's funny joke Thursday! 2005 - 2020

    A doctor is going round the ward with a nurse and they come to the first bed where the chap is laying half dead. "Did you give this man two tablets every eight hours?" asks the doctor. "Oh, no," replies the nurse, "I gave him eight tablets every two hours!" At the next bed the next patient also...

    Poll: Do you go topless?

    I have 4 bicycles, 3 motorcycles and a 300zx Twin Turbo with a T-top in my garages. So yeah, topless works for me.

    $900 per month for food & toiletries

    Another way to look at it: The maximum foodstamp benefit is around $200/person/month and most foodstamp recipients are overweighted.

    Poverty in the U.S. Today

    Like most, I have little respect for people who seek hand-outs when they don't really need it. But everything is relative: I have nothing but contempt for the doctors who take advantage of our medicare/medicaid system by coaxing their elderly, fearful and less-educated patients to come to them...

    Everything is relative. Picture allegedly taken in San Antonio not too long ago.

    One day a man dies and winds up in Hell. As he is wallowing in despair, he has his first meeting with the devil. "Why so glum?" Satan asks. "Why do you think? I'm in Hell!" the man responds. "Hell's not so bad," Satan says. "We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinking man?"...

    It's funny joke Thursday! 2005 - 2020

    A young man went to the pharmacy and asked the little old lady behind the counter if he could speak to the pharmacist. "That's me" she replied. "My sister and I have been pharmacists for 45 years, and there's nothing we ain't heard. So, what's the problem?" The man explained sheepishly "I...

    A guy decides to build a brick fence in front of his house but isn't sure how many pallets of bricks he'll need. So he calls his neighbor, who recently built a similar-size brick fence. "Steve," he says: "I'm building a fence the same size as yours. How many pallets of bricks did you get?"...

    Biggest Cheapskate Here (using 'House Rich' as a metric)

    No kidding. Yesterday I went to an open house to see a 1 bedroom apartment on the 29th floor around Queen & Cooke (about 1/2 mile from downtown Honolulu). The living area is about 800sf + a 250sf lanai (why not just call it a balcony?) Asking price 550K, plus $800/mth for condo fee and...

    Biggest Cheapskate Here (using 'House Rich' as a metric)

    I hope you're not going lose that bet. We might have members here living in Detroit, part of Ohio, or even in Texas. I have personally seen too many condos in Houston that can be bought for less than 20K, and houses for less than 30. Of course, they are all fixer uppers, but still much...

    What's so special about a flight ticket?

    Oh... That has nothing to do with security. That's just to prevent 2 or more persona using the same bus pass. It's true everywhere afaik.

    26X Annual Spending Enough?

    As suggested by many above, run your numbers through firecalc including SS. I have the feeling that your success rate would approach the super duper conservative 100% threshold.

    26X Annual Spending Enough?

    If net worth does NOT include the value of your principal residence and IS LIQUID, my answer would be a definite yes. Heck, with my tolerance for risk, I would even do it at age 40.

    What's so special about a flight ticket?

    It was, wasn't it. At least before 9/11 if I recalled correctly. But anyway, it would be nice if security and ticket purchase are completely separated. What if a ticket can bought without a name and whoever is using it HAS to physically show up at the gate 30 mins before boarding time? That...

    What's so special about a flight ticket?

    That's my gripe. Do they have sufficient time to check out a passenger 5 mins before boarding time? Unlikely I think. But the rest of us have to suffer the inconvenience. So how is a train pass on the Chicago Metro area purchased? How much time is needed to for that process?

    What's so special about a flight ticket?

    So why don't trains, buses and ships(?) do the same to boost their profits?

    What's so special about a flight ticket?

    So you bought a flight ticket and decided you can't travel on that day. Why can't you sell or give that ticket to another person? Why does a flight ticket have to be associated to a specific person at the time of purchase? Is this practice common in other countries as well?

    What percentage of your salary are you saving towards retirement?

    I can vouch for that. Oahu's beaches are the best! And the water is crystal clear, the water temperature is perfect. So is the air temperature. The air humidity level is ideal. And there are so many beaches. And don't forget the surfs! If I can find a desperate home seller, I would not mind...
