Guess I didn't make my point correctly. I don't mind paying for insurance. My car and renter's insurance only goes up a little each year as I don't make any claims. If I did, I would expect them to go up more. Health insurance is another animal. If I had used it some then I would expect the premiums to go up. Even not using it, I would expect a slight increase each year but... The health insurance premiums (and deductibles) kept rising at an insane rate even though I cost them nothing. Started out at $87 per month and $100 annual deductible Only 12 years later it had progressively risen to $427 per month and $750 deductible. And that with no claims ever. I paid for insurance. I paid the occasional doctors. I paid full price for any prescriptions. Insurance paid for nothing. The increase in premiums and deductible amount was not right. |

Isn't > that the job of the death panels? No, you have that backwards. Make health insurance INSURANCE for big stuff, perhaps with different levels of coverage - you pick the one you want to pay for. Make people pay for the little stuff, and there will be a lot less little stuff, and more consumerism for the little stuff. You can encourage Health Savings Accounts, etc. to help people pay for stuff, but if it is their money they are spending, they will be a lot more prudent. |

Splat! > that's an unfortunate thing. i hope she wasn't injured? Nobody was injured. It was a fairly minor accident. She got a ticket for "following too close." She rear ended a Ford Taurus. I drove to the accident site after a friend called me so I saw the two cars involved. The car she hit had a very minor dent and a broken tail light. Front of my volvo looked like an accordion. WTF? Volvos advertize their safety feature. Made to break away and give more in a front or rear collision. It cushions the impact and probably does prevent many injuries. Problem though is a minor thing will destroy your car. Again, I bought it on a Friday and got it registered and put libility insurance only on it. That evening, I was outside cleaning it up and talking to a neighbor. He was shocked when I told him I paid $1500 for it. That evening, I looked up on a used car website and discovered it had a book value of $6500. So I told my daughter, we won't drive this car until Monday when I can add the full coverage. I called and added the better insurance Monday morning. That evening after work, I drove to a friends house and washed it and finished cleaning it up. Lots of dumb stickers on the windows. Went to work the next morning (in my van) and about 2pm, my daughter called and asked if she could use it to drive her friend home (friend had spent the night here). She only made it a little over a mile from home and the dumbass rear-ended a car. Bottom line: Friday: Bought it for $1500 and only bought liability ins. Monday: Added full coverage Tuesday: She crashed it. After my $100 deductible, I got a check for $6400. I made a profit of $4900 in 4 days. NOT a good way to make money though. Luckily, I had a long term policy with "Nationwide" and they had a "first time forgiveness" policy so my insurance didn't go up. I loved the car and wanted to get it fixed but the insurance guy said once we total a car, your title will be marked as "wrecked and salvaged" so little resale value in the future. Also, since they totaled it and paid for it, they wouldn't insure it again. Ok, so I took the money. Pic of cute Volvo the day I bought it and before I removed all the stupid stickers on windows. Yeah...that's my old work van parked next to it. https://www.hostpic.org/images/2006281649330081.jpg It came and went so fast, I almost felt like I had dreamed it. |

Bullies will seek out people they see as not being able to defend themselves. It angers them. Why is that? Perhaps they see themselves as weak and defenseless. Perhaps they are cowards. Harassing people is never good behavior and is an indicator of a weakness of character. Now that's what I call good advice. Of course, you're free to avoid good advice. Yoose gets the last word. |

Yoose gets the last word. Oh please, cry me a river. Some people simply cannot wait to come here and tell their life history and their stupid decisions and then wonder why they fail.

What types of recipes >should I be looking for? >TIA Look I will give you most likely the most accurate information about airfryers that you can ever find. It is like the microwave, the first ones were not powerful and they were gimmick appliances. I am telling you now that airfryers are the best cooking appliance since the knife. Yeah that long ago. But only for certain people. For singles it is better than sliced bread. Married couples it can be great also. Three people would be the limit and four people it would be hard to cook enough food. Let me ask you do you have the basket fryer or do you have an airfryer oven? With the airfryer oven you can fry, bake, steam, broil, roast, toast dehydrate, preserve, pickle and I am sure there are a few others. I can put a pot of stew in a small dutch oven and use the airfryer oven to cook it. The only draw back really is that it is hard to boil water. You would not boil water in an oven would you? Well of course not it would be a waste of power and take much longer. You can however make boiled eggs in an airfryer faster than you can with water because you do not need to heat up the water because you do not even need to use water. If you want healthy airfryer recipes go here. It is a new site and there are not many recipes there yet but some will be added often! https://www.quora.com/q/gilkofflvxsygufp -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

I'm in FL with a tile roof and I use Spray and Forget to deal with the mildew that naturally forms. It also has the hose-end sprayer but the cool thing is it is applied on a dry day and keeps working for about a year. You have to wet your plants before, and after, the application as a precaution. It's not cheap but you don't have to apply it again for a very long time. Wet and Forget is another. I use that on the fence in a pump sprayer. It works the same way and lasts just as long. |

It sounds very similar to the Armor Wash and it also says to spray down plants first. So, what you use lets the sun and rain eliminate the mildew, or do I have that backward? I was quite impressed with the ease and results of this product. > Wet and Forget is another. I use that on the fence in a pump sprayer. > It works the same way and lasts just as long. It will be interesting to see how long it is before I have to do this again. I'm hoping for not another two years but it's not a hard project to do. |
