    Organic or not?

    Alright fellas. I'm bowing out - you can claim victory and go eat your fertilized fruits and veggies. I've said several times I've actually spent a lot of time looking into these things and for me it was enough to conclude I'd choose organic over not in many cases and that's that. You want me...

    Organic or not?

    I'm sorry you are upset with me or the discussion, that wasn't my aim in any of this - in fact I never wanted to get into this debate at all! And my reply you quoted is not at all intended for you - but to westernskies who I think just wants to piss on me when he sees an opportunity... We...

    Organic or not?

    GMO is the most extreme on the spectrum - but many seeds have been tinkered with, as you mention to favor certain traits. And modern commercial farming has overly relied on petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides to boost the size, preserve appearance and yield of their crops. And yes, I was...

    Organic or not?

    Ah, yes - but the genetically modified seeds go hand in hand with the extensive petro fertilizer/pesticide - they're like a combo package. Once they breed for certain qualities - the overall package of the plant is changed/altered - the plant can become more weak and vulnerable to other natural...

    Organic or not?

    I never said I made my decisions with no factual evidence, in fact I dedicated several years of study to this. I just don't have the inclination to play data ping pong here. There is plenty of data online and you can decide what is right for you. I stated what I decided based on op's prompt...

    Organic or not?

    Yes - it is my humble opinion that it does. Many non organic seeds are bred for shipping thousands of miles and so they won't bruise when dropped a couple hundred feet (super tomatoes), or bred for aesthetics and size (ie pretty and large - mostly just full of water, no taste) so I personally...

    Organic or not?

    Organic produce tastes better. Aside from health benefits or not (being disputed here) organic farming is better for our mother earth - the inordinate amount of pesticides poured onto our soils, in the ground water, run off etc is not something we should continue doing - I'm too lazy to cite the...

    "Official" American Idol 2011 Thread

    Yes! the styling was awful - then when I realized it was Gwen - I was like ooooh crap... Gwen can style herself all day long but she sure messed up those girls...! Yeah, and I doubt hormonal teen boys (or their randy uncles eh hm) vote as fervently as teen and tween girls!

    Teeth

    Glad it all went well Khan! I have to say, I had a root canal about 9 years ago - the procedure itself was fine (aside from keeping mouth that wide open for sooo long and the sounds/smells). But the tooth has never been the same. I also learned there are a lot of connections between oral...

    "Official" American Idol 2011 Thread

    I loved last nite's show! Casey showed that he is an excellent singer - and so many of them showed their ability to take feedback and learn from the week before! Casey, and Jacob did particularly well in that vein for me...

    Dumb question about financial shows on TV/radio

    Good - as I was writing it I was thinking - gosh this sounds an awful lot like WORK - why'd he want to do that! I'm sure if you take all your calls or do a few youtube vids from the beach or on your surfboard you'll have people calling you and buying your book!

    Dumb question about financial shows on TV/radio

    I'd think #1 will get you more bookings - are you calling them yourself or your publisher? I've done that for work purposes and calling TV and Radio always makes me laugh. The TV people want you to talk fast - they only have 15 seconds so give them your best. Also, make sure you reconfirm with...

    Dental X-Rays

    Well, I do think they can go overboard. I think I previously shared example where my daughter was having issues with teeth erupting and baby tooth staying. She had her regular cleaning and returned about one month later to check on the tooth. When we were at her follow up, they wanted to do...

    Dumb question about financial shows on TV/radio

    What about local morning shows where military are a large portion of the market? I'd think they'd be more interested -but unless you are willing to travel a lot - may be more worthwhile trying to get articles published in those markets in the local papers, and or radio they can do over the...

    Consulting after retirement questions

    Purron, has your DH made any moves since this last post? I'm looking into doing same either LLC or S-corp. Sounds like from what I've been reading, S-Corp has tax advantages in paying out via dividends vs all in salary like an S-Corp. Also sounds like from others - that many of you are just...

    "Official" American Idol 2011 Thread

    i think they used the save because there are several still around they wouldn't save! So I'm guessing they knew it wouldn't be needed later - unless for some odd reason Pia, James or Jacob were at the bottom - but I suspect they also know the vote counts and whether that is a possibility or not...

    Luggage recommendations

    It is! I once took a trip to visit family, it was super early in the morning and DD must have been maybe 3 years old. She had her own rolling bag and was serious about it and everyone just stared at her as she walked up to the line...of course "their" bags usually have their most important items...

    Luggage recommendations

    I don't think the samsonites are made like they used to be. I have a large sized roller that is not holding up very well and I only travel with it maybe 4 times per year via air and car. The zipper broke and it is very beat up. I always buy my roller bags at tjmax - they have a huge selection...

    UPS vs. USPS

    Sometimes it depends which regions you're using, for example, we knew back in Oakland, the timing was unreliable. But some areas are really efficient and the cost difference is usually big. Also, learned if you include (whenever possible) the last four of your zip it tends to get to you faster...
