Why worry about the national debt. How is it supposed to affect me? It didn’t affect me when we had a surplus and it didn’t affect me when it was a deficit |

[“Wifi mobile trailer”] Some posters think this is a bad idea. They weren’t here after Irma when there was no cellphone or wifi service. We were desperate for contact with the outside world and to tell our families that we were okay. Don’t always think of yourself. Think of others. |

[Friday Joke] Pasquale died. His will provided $40,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last guests departed, his wife Angelina turned to her oldest and dearest friend, “Ah well, Pasquale would be pleased.” she said. “You’re right,” replied Maria, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. “So go on, how much did this funeral really cost?” “All of it,” said Angelina. “Forty thousand.” “Aw, no!” Maria exclaimed, “I mean, it was very grand, but $40,000?” Angelina answered, “The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The whisky, wine and snacks were another $500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone.” Maria computed quickly. “Mama mia! For the love of God! Angelina, $32,500 for a memorial stone? How big is it?” |
