Wow. You must be special - they didn't ask me why I was leaving. Just got an email saying they'd deleted my account.

I'd be surprised if untainted blood doesn't become an expensive and sought after commodity. I know if I need blood, I'd call in favors with my pure blood friends for a blood donation.

Dropped my membership this morning, even though my account was so old it had a previous address connected to it. Happy bankruptcy, Paypal.

We'd enjoy that. Until then, look for a local gardening group. Cooperative Extension Service will know where they are and who to contact. I know there are some in the Valley, and the garden groups usually meet monthly during the fall, winter and spring. Join the group and attend all the meetings you can. You'll learn so much from the programs, the more experienced gardeners, and especially any garden tours you attend.

Absolutely. My assumption was that the parents would homeschool. Even an uneducated parent can buy curriculum and follow it with their child. That way, both the parent and child get educated together. What we still need is good homeschool support. It's coming in some states, and more will follow.

The answer/ fix is simple: pull your students out of school. Period. Kids would be better off with NO formal education than the education they're getting now.

Even given what major banks charge you to do business with them, you'd be far better off at a local credit union.

We are entering our 70's and although we work slower and take more breaks than we used to, we garden and raise small livestock. We sell eggs to a small local store in our rural neighborhood, and we sell excess fruit from our land to our neighbors. We don't need to financially, but we do it anyway. Today we are building a new enclosed run for our flock of chickens. We purchased land on a salmon-filled river and we hunt (with help from our adult children). We produce or harvest well over 50% of our own food, and that percentage grows every year. You can do it at any age, you just may need to make adjustments to accommodate for your physical limitations. Truth is, the best way to continue to be fit and healthy is to KEEP AT IT, however slowly. You can do it!

RIsing here in Alaska too. Gee, what happened to FJB instructing gas stations to lower prices between now and the midterms? Maybe he's NOT in control after all? Lol.

It would probably slow Congress down to vote on every item as a separate bill. But would that be so bad? Right now it seems they have far too much time on their hands.

No. Walked in and walked out with $10k cash one time and $6700 cash another time. Within the last two weeks. They didn't ask me what I was going to do with it, either, which I know is happening to some people.

I refuse to bank with large institutions. I use credit unions and small local banks only. I've had no trouble pulling tens of thousands of dollars from them.

Regarding having yet ANOTHER "booster shot", he doesn't know what he will do?!! Wow. I can tell you, I know what I would do. That is plenty of "circumstantial evidence" for me.

Just another example of government workers building great wealth while supposedly serving others.
