I was a vitamin fiend for 2 years. DW never was. However, I was also anal enough that I bought everything online after much research. Maybe Walgreens is just the wrong venue. Someone must be buying those giant tubs of Mega Muscle Blaster Powder at the GNC.

The elf knows the world is flat...just like the shelf.

Wine.
Bhuddist texts.
Zen texts.
Quasi Bhuddist or Zen, like "Chop Wood, Carry Water" or "Power of Now"
The above on audio during suspiciously long walks "just around the block."
Yoga / meditation class - perfect time to try, esp with a coupon!
Chocolate.
For you, I mean.
For him, tool catalogs, a laptop, a remote, and opiods.

We have term level 70, meaning the premium stays the same until 70. My mom had a small whole life that she liked because she could borrow against it at a low rate. We already get that with DW's teacher pension, so no need. I suspect a home equity line might serve the same purpose. If the cash option/borrowing thing is the only real appeal of whole, stick to term. I think agents get bigger commissions on whole.

On my last home depot jaunt I saw shower boards already cut down to about 2x3, or maybe 3x4' and marked as "white boards" where the other cut plywood was, rather than over by shower stuff. Very cheap. We have about a 12x16, but I'm thinking I'll need bigger next year (geometry). Mwybe wall mounted.

I am 14 days older, and every year, DW reminds me I will be the first one eligible for AARP.

Pilots are being tricked by their instruments into believing they are circumnavigating a globe instead of going around in a circle. NASA scientists (or maybe personnel is a better word?) vigilantly guard the ice wall.
Overseas piloting is thus like NASCAR, they can only go so far before they just have to turn left! It all makes sense now.

Oh, the elephants and turtle are in this thread. :)
Do you think Martin would be annoyed at people comparing the GoT universe to Discworld?
Sorry, came in late and didn't scroll far enough.

I'm not a YEC, but I don't think it is possible to distinguish by science between a light that actually has its origins millions of years ago and a light created much more recently by God already seemingly en route.
Actually, it's called the red shift, and we've known about it for about a century, and it let's us, in part, tell far away (older, if you will) light from closer (younger) light. It's like the Doppler effect. When a train passes you, the engineers aren't really doing anything like pressing buttons to make the horn sound change pitch. It really is science, and not terribly new science.
-
Where's the giant wall of ice? This is clearly just another government hoax.
Isn't that Discworld, as in Terry Pratchett? I don't see the elephants and turtle, tho.

Okay, I had to dig deeply to come up with this idea: What if I add a dancing chocolate bar to my signature?
Do bacon people like chocolate, too?
Google hard enough and I'm sure there's a Paula Deen deep fried bacon wrapped chocolate something on a stick.

No. They have webbed hands and are very scary with sharp teeth. You really need to watch more Animal Planet.
So the Starbuck's Mermaid is just trying to entice you into a horrible, caffeinated death? I knew it.
Well, that was an entertaining read. I had to stop when I got to the part about how "the force known as gravity doesn't exist." :001_huh: :smilielol5:
My hs physics teacher said "gravity doesn't exist, the earth sucks." I think a few of us got it.
-
I suppose someone who lacks depth perception would in fact see the earth as flat.
Hmm, since I'm 20/300 in one eye, maybe I'm the one being persecuted then? Now I need a PAC. How much is a PAC?
-
It's a political tactic. They do it here too, then parents raise the money and we have the program. The economy picks up, the assessor goes around and ups the home values, and then these 'elite' programs are funded again.
CW among DW's union is that it's a long-game, pared with the new inane evals, to slowly gut the system so some future pol can ride in on the Voucher Horse and save the day!
-
We need a counter PR-campaign revolving around Flat Stanley's life on Flat Earth. Stop-motion, maybe? Kinda like the old Mr. Bill Show.
-
I've never encountered anything like this. It almost seems illegal.
Nope. Everything has an added fee, too - sports, band, etc - in those districts that tend to have their budgets voted down and/or state aid cut. It happens in NJ.

AHCC is the only immune herbal with positive clinical trials (in Japan), but you have to take a lot of it at about a buck a pill. Might be worth a look. Source Naturals was my brand of choice back when I took it.

How does one even combat this kind of delusion?? :confused1:
Nod, smile anf hope they don't run for political office.
-
Yup. Ours wraps around the dining room near the ceiling, and we finished SOTW a couple years ago!
-
I'll whine, you bet.
I probably have immune-mediated hepatitis, two months after my immune-mediated neuropathy, caused by an immune-stimulating drug I had a year ago.
Both side effects are reported in less than 5% of trial subjects, and I got both! Powerball has to be next....it just has to.
Oh, and these single-digit temps in NJ can go back to the tundra.

Somewhere I read/saw that germs (and living things in general) need warm, moist environments in which to live, so there are actually far fewer on cold steel bathroom door handles than most of us think -- maybe it was Mythbusters, as it sounds like something they would do. I suspect dry book paper/covers to be similar. An exception might be a plastic covered book that was just put back on the return cart by a germ-y kid, but if you try to control for that, you'll end up not going to the library, which is worse.

We've had it and love it, but for me the solo homeschool price comes up at the same $99 as the home price. I think we did get it via the co-op, but it's been a few years and we just renew.
Excellent site.

I don't know all of your answers but I will give you a few pieces of insight. I was an ICU nurse, but it's been several years so keep that in mind. I think the NUMBER 1 thing is to make sure your family is very much aware of your wishes. In my experience, we went with the decision of the family when it came to those issues. Of course if family members were not in agreement, I am sure the living will would be used. What I recall is families coming together to make the decision (and not so much pulling out the living will right there), so that is why I stress to make sure your family knows your wishes.
:iagree:
A great line I got from DD's child life specialist applies here:
If it's mentionable, it's manageable.
Talk now, talk often, and it won't be taboo, and won't be as difficult when the time comes to make real decisions.

If you're in a colder climate, and going to rip up to the subfloor anyway, consider radiant floor heating to compensate for the cold factor of a hard surface. You don't have to do the hot water version, which will actually heat the house, but electric, which just takes the chill out of the floor. I put it in our bathroom under tile and it's super.
Call me sexist, but I'm not remotely surprised. . . .

Plus Walgreens doesn't have posters of the ripped dudes you will Totally become by ingesting tubs of powder. When they come out with Cheetos powder in a tub, I'm in.
