And Da Lou has a - holy shit - 9.68%!?!?!? retail sales tax. Plus an extra .25% Town Tax levy for Bel Nor. Which makes a grand total $.17 w/tax! But I personally would have charged him $99 for that mint, not $.15 but...<shrug> -sw |

I hate to break it to you, Jill, but your out of date. And maybe you need to get into more wrecks. In every major city in the U.S, an average of 60% of the accidents are hit and run. Unless there's a significant injury or death, the cops don't give a shit and won't investigate anything even if they have the license plate number. Here in Austin that number is 82% hit and then run (not really run, but they just drive off). There is NO penalty for not stopping unless somebody is hurt AND you can identify their faces. Defense attorneys have a boilerplate defense that if the victim can't positively identify the driver (through their tinted glass) the ether is NO CASE AT ALL. The only people who ever get busted, are people that step out of their cars out of concern so witnesses can see them - then get back in and burn off. The worst ting you can do is stop - especially if you're been drinking. Just keep on driving! -sw |

Can often > be had very cheap on the older cars. Comprehensive insurance is relatively cheap. Collision is more expensive but there is questionable value when you have an older car. They will write off older cars with little damage if the cost of repair is more than what they think the care is worth. It happened to me when my wife had an accident on my mother's old Buick. The car was about 12 years old at the time, but low mileage and ran great. There was minor damage to the left front door and quarter panel and a crack in the bumper molding. They ended up giving me $2500 and I got to keep the car. Body work was $2000... didn't bother with the bumper repair. |

I've been researching and making a few (too many) batches of brownies this month truing to replicate a local product known as "Miles of Chocalate". And one thing that came up consistently in ALL the brownie recipe reviews, that everybody swore by, was this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Triple-Fudge-Premium-Brownie-Mix-19-oz-Box/21119911 So Gary - your mission, should you choose not to accept it I'll kick your ass, is to make those and report back. -sw |

If I want something cold (e.g., after yard work, for example), I prefer an Outshine fruit bar. Lime, lemon, raspberry, strawberry. Cindy Hamilton |

Hey, I lived it back in the 1960's. For many years, my chores were to cut the grass once a week and take out the kitchen garbage once a day. For that, my allowance was $1.00 per week. Large yard too with a few very steep hills. Dangerous to mow. It took about 3-4 hours to do with the smelly push mower. All for $1.00 a week. Dad got a very good deal. Just the easy garbage thing was worth that much. |

If you have a good job, your employer pays for most of your medical insurance. If you have a crappy job, you can buy insurance on the ACA exchanges or do without. If you have no job (or a REALLY crappy job), you qualify for Medicaid, a type of government health insurance.

A lot of people are happy with it. A lot of people who might benefit from national health insurance and even more who might not, hate the idea of paying for part of someone else's health insurance.

On re-reading and doing some more checking, I don't think you were hacked at all. GoDaddy disabled the server software that served your legacy website that you've had for 11 years. Have they asked you for any money to upgrade? It's still possible that some kiddie did break into your site and fucked it just for kicks, but its not likely that GoDaddy would coincidently tell you your site is unrecoverable citing some "template" problem unless they disabled some compatibility with serving your ancient pages - and right before your renewal date. I don't do web programming, only sever software. But could some kind soul look at her source at archive.org and see what has been possibly obsoleted at GogDaddy.com? Cindy maybe? Oh Wait - I'd bet my left testicle that Cathy of http://www.recfoodcooking.org/ could host your minimal site as a SUB-URL of that domain - which would be perfect!. You might even be able to piggyback hizzhoners.com nameservice to keep your domain name cheaply. She has plenty of space and bandwidth she probably doesn't use. This is your best bet. Email her! -sw |
