Hi KSD Congrats on the new puppy

Hi Mike I think the first set of hand prints were the result of lifting that womens large body onto the hood. I guessing the second set was caused by her going for the trailing edge of the hood to hang on but the driver stopped first

HI TK IMO with the modern technology available today GW could perform his presidental duties from the White House. This would be a lot safer for our national leader, and save the taxpayers, and businesses the expense and hassle of presidental security and TFR's while the president is traveling. One downside of the president staying in D.C. would be his inability to attend the $$$ raising dinners around the country for his political party. Technology will continue to evolve and eventually the politicans will get the message. We hope it isn't after some confused person trys to do something stupid again and make history. R.I.P.

Hi Mike Looks like someones female friend tried to keep someone else from leaving, by hanging onto the hood.

Hi John Don't know about the added cost of guns due to lawsuits but their is a added cost due to liability insurance. The insurer for the Gun Store (bull's eye) paid $1.500K and the manufactor (or insurance co) paid $500K to settle civil suits related to the D.C. sniper. So maybe the insurance premiums will be reduced but won't go away. On the bright side if the insurance companies & manufactures refuse to insure/sell to gun dealers with poor inventory control. That loophole might be closed

Quotejohn, you are just obsessed with guns, arent ya? You think R.I.P.

Damn Those house's look big R.I.P.

Nope R.I.P.

HI You will do well in law enforcement. Hard to believe that some dudes would mess with you. I think your a little "over qualified" to be a Sky Marshall. To big for airline seats except for first class seating R.I.P.

The study was conducted by a special interest group that had a agenda, so they only reported the fact that would support their conclusions and remedy. "The study, published in the journal Health Affairs, estimated that medical bankruptcies affect about 2 million Americans every year, if both debtors and their dependents, including about 700,000 children, are counted. "Our study is frightening. Unless you're Bill Gates you're just one serious illness away from bankruptcy," said Dr. David Himmelstein, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who led the study. "Covering the uninsured isn't enough. We must also upgrade and guarantee continuous coverage for those who have insurance," Woolhandler said in a statement. She said many employers and politicians were pressing for what she called "stripped-down plans so riddled with co-payments, deductibles and exclusions that serious illness leads straight to bankruptcy." 100% health insurance isn't going to help a debtor who is to ill to work and can't continue paying their monthy debt. A lot of people have death insurance, sick leave and vacation time, but how many "middle class" people have disability insurance? Which may get you by for a year or two. The financial advisors recommend that people have a 3 month emerency fund. For someone with a serious medical issue 3 month's won't be enough. R.I.P.

Anyone have a idea of how large a medical bill would have to be for a person who has medical insurance to end up with $12k medical /bill in out of pocket expenses? You keep on ignoring the above quote the people who had to declare bankruptsy said the reason was a medical illness. The study didn't cite the total amount of debt. Either address the issue or are you going to continue with the attitude that SC is well known for. Whats next asking JR and his sidekick how many people with $12k in medical bills commit suicide/yr with hand guns. Have a nice day R.I.P. R.I.P.

Hi GM >>"About half cited medical causes, which indicates that 1.9 to 2.2 million Americans (filers plus dependents) experienced medical bankruptcy," they wrote.>> "Medical causes" IOW the medical condition started a domino effect that led to job loss. I'm thinking there were other major creditors that were knocking on the door. "Among those whose illnesses led to bankruptcy, out-of-pocket costs averaged $11,854 since the start of illness; 75.7 percent had insurance at the onset of illness." "Had insurance at onset of illness" The article doesn't say how many people lost their insurance which would have been a indicator of job loss. $10K in out of pocket medical costs is a indication of major long term medical condition. If you working construction/self employed/small business, no workee, no $$$$ Need a Bankruptcy lawyer to explain what was going on. Save house, car etc. Claiming banruptcy is Once you get employed again you will be able to get credit

Hard to know what "proper ventilation" is. Until afterwords unless your a pro. R.i.P.

According to the Talking heads of wall street. Your IRA funds are (should be) 30-40 year money or until you have to start withdrawing by age 70 whichever comes first. So the stock market which is also a long term is a good place to park some of your money, and the closer you get to retirement

Huh did you say something? You talking to me? sorry I must have missed it say again

Was the five finger wave (palm out) one of them R.I.P.
