I have no idea what mine is. I don't know if I ever knew.

Sounds like you never wore dog tags.

ALSO. (And sorry for the rapid fire posts.) I wonder how many times you can use a disposable coffee cup before you get "chemicals" leached into your drink though... At least once per day until you die. ;) If you're talking about styrofoam cups I gave up on using them at work in favor of m...

Another thing I don't understand, why do Democrats get labeled as whiny sensitive snowflakes when Trump is the veritable definition of that pejorative? Can't stand Pelosi , but her calling him morbidly obese gets my respect. Good for him to taste a little bit of what he constantly spews. What do yo...

Have you read what I wrote? Where did I write that I support Democratic party policies? I'm not engaging in a two party political debate. The title of the thread is "Is trump doing a good job" . The answer to that question is no. He has some good policy ideas....but his implementation is ...

I've been watching the COVID-19 dashboard for Florida since the very beginning and I can report that, at least in my county, there has been no significant increase in either cases or number of deaths since the lock downs were lifted. Since they implemented some free testing sites where anybody can b...

You cannot justify one person's overall ineptitude by pointing at another persons shortcomings. Isn't that what literally every politician has done for all of recorded history? Are you a politician? [Trump] should be called out daily for how crappy a leader he is. He may not be a great leader, but ...

I have read this about type A blood in other articles too. I'm A negative and I thought it might be true because I also remember reading somewhere that mosquitoes don't like type A blood and they've never bothered me very much.

Yeah, thanks. Just read this after quitting my yard work on a very hot day. Now I'm motivated to go outside and get back to work some time before lift off. If the sky was clear, like it surprisingly is today, we could see the space shuttle launch even though it was over a hundred miles away. This in...

Hard to believe they are really going to run this guy for president.

Then again, isn't that exactly what the Dems were saying about Trump in the last election?

"Scientists and Doctors" may (or may not be) right as far as the science and medicine, but they certainly have no special place at the policy-making table where laws are made, or at the kitchen table where personal decisions are made. They have an input, sure, but any policy recommendatio...

I have no idea what a "Certian Death" is but it sounds pretty bad. Another comparison could be made to the troop ships heading for Europe in WW1. This might be a more apt comparison because a lot of those soldiers were carrying the Spanish Flu with them and would die from it before they ev...

This is the second article I've read about a study making this claim about marijuana. The first was in Israel where they were just talking about treating patients who had the virus. This one seems to be asserting a prophylactic effect. https://www.complex.com/life/2020/05/new-study-suggests-that-can...

Sounds to me like the wrong person was impeached. It is interesting that whenever the Democrats level an accusation against Trump, it turns out that they were the ones committing the alleged crime. It certainly explains where they get their source material. I have noticed this too, along with other...

I personally favor having a separate PP in each tax category. In other words, one PP for taxable, another for traditional IRA, and another for Roth IRA. The IRA money won't/can't be touched for quite a long time. What are everyone's thoughts on dialing back the cash percentage in IRA PPs? Selecting...

Yes, the PP is doing fine but the bet I made on the GB isn't looking so great. SCV is now the dog dragging the portfolio down. I don't even know how much because I don't want to look right now. But I'm sticking with it because I think it will still turn out to be a good long term bet. When you do l...

Can I, as someone with a bit of relevant knowledge, offer some possibly useful information? First, studies of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 are being conducted in multiple locations. You may recall that after I poked through the literature on it, I told you guys I doubted it would work out, but a...

Guys, let's just chill out a bit. Charts can be useful, but they just need to be taken with a grain of salt. I think that's something we can all agree on. And yes, people attack charts that don't support their position and tout charts that do. Usually it's because they've interpreted the underlying...

I don't know the history of hydroxychloroquine, so I would ask: 1) It is used commonly for malaria, or is there something more effective that is more widely used? 2) If it is used for malaria, for example, if I was traveling to a malaria prone region, would I be expected, or wise, to take it prior ...

I started the PP about 12 years ago so I don't have a 20 year history to report.

Since 2008 however, my gold is up 26% but only after spending many years in the red. Stocks bought at the same time (VTI) - up 119%.

I have never seen anything like this controversy over hydroxychloroquine before. Go to foxnews, especially Laura Ingraham, and you will learn that it is being used effectively to treat Covid-19 all over the world and that it is a very safe drug that has been used for years to treat malaria, lupus, a...

We just returned from staying in a cabin in Blue Ridge, GA just to get away from things for a while. I can report that rumors of Georgia's grand re-opening are greatly exaggerated because nearly everything was still shut down. We found only one restaurant open for dine-in service the whole time. It ...

Has anyone else on here had no income for the last two months due to the COVID-19 shutdowns? I know that MangoMan has had to stay away from his dental practice. My wife's business is our family business and it went to zero on 3/11 with no good news in sight for months to come. Without going into to...

Another one bites the dust.

Sweet Tomatoes not re-opening.

My daughter went back to work as assistant manager of a store on Tuesday. She had been laid off for about 6 weeks. Good thing because she wasn't able to file for unemployment benefits due to state computer system crashes until just last week. So she would have been part of the under count for the fi...
