Perhaps the rich dad in Dave's example had no interest in being the custodial parent 24/7, which requires much more than just writing a check. Having money doesn't guarantee anyone will be a good parent. Jill |

My oldest brother was granted full custody of his son because his ex-wife simply wasn't interested in being a mother. IIRC my nephew wasn't old enough at the time to be in school. His ex- was too busy trying to launch her "singing career", which mostly involved her hanging out in night clubs. He couldn't have gotten child support because she really didn't have any income. (Come to think of it, she was kind of living like Kuthe with a bunch of 1980's versions of hippies she called "roommates".) Meanwhile, my brother was working extra shifts trying to make ends meet to take care of his son. My nephew is 37 now and although he saw his mother from time to time when he was growing up, the only real relationship he has with her is biological. Jill |

I have to admit, after being married to an impoverished musician, I took money into some consideration the second time around. But I mainly married for love both times. Not only did I not put my career on hold, but Husband 2 made me want to be my best self, so I went back to college and finished my degree. Cindy Hamilton |

A *slab* of Himalayan Pink Salt is used for cooking applications such as baking meat or fish in the oven or on the grill. https://www.seasalt.com/how-to-use-himalayan-salt-blocks.html "Himalayan pink salt slabs can be heated to as high as 450 degrees Fahrenheit and used to lightly sear all sorts of delicious foods. When the cooking is through, your mineral salt slab will slowly return to room temperature for future use as a cold serving plate." Crushed... probably not intended for cooking. Stick with the bath salts idea. :) Jill |

Cooking on a pink salt slab was a trend. I'd never have paid a pretty penny for one. I'd definitely throw out what Julie seems to have. Crushed, no use in cooking. It would probably clog the drain in the tub. So I've changed my mind, no to the bath salts. Jill |

What's scary to me is the rise of nationalism in the US and other countries around the world. People think that it can't happen here but we have a leader that boldly claims "America first!" and is making the weak and powerless in our country the enemy and a threat. We have regular folks feeling empowered and emboldened to declare that this is "my" country, not "yours." We have the intellectuals confident that it'll all blow over and sanity will prevail - just like they did back in the 30's. People think that "it can't happen here" but I have no reason why they would think something like that. |

The guy comes out on a padded horse and puts a spear into the bulls back. The one bull, when that happened, he urinated himself, and the crowd cheered. I was about 25 years old at the time. It is a pretty messed up sport. The one matador couldn't kill the bull at first, he had to make a few thrusts. The crowd booed him. I wonder if they still have bullfights, like in Spain and Mexico. I've seen the annual "running of the bulls" where dumbasses are out in the street as the bulls are led down the streets into the arena. Only thing I see on tv now is the arena game where one bull is let out and many young guys play this game to run up to the bull, touch it on the nose then haul ass to jump over the wall before the bull catches him. I've never seen an actual old bullfight on tv. Yeah the guys on padded horses spear the bull a few times, then the other guys come out and toss short spears into them that stay in. Only after the bull is weakened does the hero matador with cape and sword come in to play with it with cape a few times, then finally stab it with his swords. oh man |

That's well and good but the > torturing for sport is pretty messed up. Never saw one except on TV. Not a gory there One trip to Mexico was with a classic car club by brother belonged to. We went to the town of Tecate. Turned out to be quite the trip. One of the local police met us at the border and led us to the center of town where we parked, had lunch, shopped etc. The police watched the cars for us. When we left, he led up around the town green for an impromptu parade. There were quite a few locals out watching. My kids were young at the time and were riding in the rumble seat of a Model A. They thought they were celebrities. |

Somewhere in a closet in this house I have a photo of my grandmother and my mother sitting on burros wearing sombreros on a trip to Tijuana. Doing touristy things. I guess Mom needed a break so when her parents came to visit they arranged for my brothers and I to be cared for by grandpa and some neighbors and and took off on a weekend trip. (Dad was stationed overseas.) I have to say, I never thought I'd see a picture of my Scottish grandmother wearing a sombrero. :) Jill |

Possibly my grocery store provided extra-sturdy bags. They had pretty good handles, too. They're out of business now; the adult children didn't want to carry on. Cindy Hamilton |

In the winter the landscape is so drab after the leaves fall the bags bring some welcome color.

We care. Nice diatribe. I agree 100%. If it is a celebrity there are huge piles of flowers rotting away on the pile. There are many ways that money can help others. |

Taking it up to the nest. If they do it right, that bag can become a shelter from the rain and wind. Squirrels are definitely not stupid. They think of everything. :) |
