Nisiprius, thanks for your suggestion. I'll bring it up, but doubt if it will be acted upon.

Also, I went to the Met Life site, and found out that the 6% guaranteed payout is a rider and c ...

After about 40 years of grilling, the best grill I ever had was the Weber Silver Genesis. Not too big, but sturdy and reliable. A digital meat thermometer can be used in the grill as well as in ...

The late Eartha Kitt sang:

Mink Shmink, money shmoney
Think you're hot now dontcha honey,

These notes are great! All those knowledgeable people in one place having their brains picked was a real treat. Will reread later today to see what I missed. Thanks to those who synthesized and ...
