I accumulate them to be passed on to my "decent children" (thank you God!) and their "decent children". The rest is "pay as you go", preferably cash. <br />Boat GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-50113557993415943582018-02-01T19:46:37.332-08:002018-02-01T19:46:37.332-08:00I like the way he talks.

It takes a long time to overcome that imbalance. Even land has a large chunk taken out when transferring ownership. Same with metals, art or other precious things.<br />Course we can buy 2 years of food and throw away half of it after a year due to spoilage or out of date issues. Cheap insurance I guess. <br />Think Neal summed it up pretty well.<br /><br />lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011213166003657827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-87949613836061058762018-02-01T14:36:53.242-08:002018-02-01T14:36:53.242-08:00I think it is the hidden things in a man that real...I think it is the hidden things in a man that really keeps it high and tight.<br />Honorable death, faithful wife, decent children.<br /><br />Money don't hurt, but that can be a goal regardless.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632021240126981592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-21744211924962899242018-02-01T13:51:58.527-08:002018-02-01T13:51:58.527-08:00Agree emphatically!

Our president has cut federal regulations, cut bloated bureaucracy, cut taxes, and I'm not tired of winning!<br /><br />Remembering the end of the 70's and Carter's stagflation, when America was stomped on and it looked like bad times were settling in. Reagan changed that, got things running again. Obama got 8 years to hose the US versus Carter's 4, but in some ways Trump is outdoing Reagan. I'm hoping that we can avoid the bad times that stared us in the face as HRC approached her 'inevitable' coronation.<br /> tweellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164718561825615886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-67994763584363079542018-02-01T13:19:16.436-08:002018-02-01T13:19:16.436-08:00Good summary and GREAT advice.

We DO have some breathing room, though none of us knows how deep and wide that room is it's important to use the time to best advantage - to include enjoying it. <br />We dodged a fusillade in 16 - pay attention to 18 and support those WORTHY of support.

I was out of work for five weeks between surgery and going back. During those five week recuperation, I could not work. So no money coming in + hospital bills + doctor bills + monthly bills that DON'T stop = Damnation ! Took me about nine months to come up for a breath of air, I was underwater for quite a spell.<br /><br />Feeling much better now, but for some time, it was downright depressing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-4646154529093554372018-02-01T09:13:58.935-08:002018-02-01T09:13:58.935-08:00Aesop,

Maybe it is. Maybe. But consider a diagnosis of Cancer, and the requirement of a dicey operation, with your survival in the balance. The date has been set, and you know you will either die on the table or face a protracted period of convalescence, very slow and painful recovery. Is it not human nature, as the date approaches, to just look forward to "getting it over with" to avoid the existential angst that the slow march to the knife provides?<br /><br />I would suggest that those who embrace the unavoidable tumult the country faces, and find the specter "exciting" be less than honest with themselves...perhaps not students of history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
