Comment on What would be your last supper? by Ken

I’ve thought about this. Not the actual menu, but the timing. I’d request my last meal three or four days before the execution. I have this thing about being executed with a big glob of undigested food in my gut.

I’ve come up against the same issue with The Standard. Seems like an attempt to conceal expenses & fees and make it difficult to do cross comparisons with competing funds.

I think I would follow the example of many of these inmates and have chicken fried steak.

We still use the CC for most of our purchases, never carrying a balance, and collecting the cash rewards every few months as they build up. I’m surprised they haven’t cancelled us yet. I guess they make enough off of the vendors to make it worth it for them.

I just cut up a card from Citibank, because they were getting ready to impose a $60 annual fee if I didn’t have $2,400 a year in activity. I hadn’t used the card since late 2008, so it wasn’t much of a loss.

Comment on Daily Affirmations Are For Everyone by Joyce Sen

Nice! I loved how that said: “investments of time, love and devotion are made every day.”

Sometimes in the secular world, there’s too much measurement on financial wealth. I have some friends that are so rich in their genuine relationships & the amount of love they have. When I see their children it is so awesome because they are filled with joy & always know their parents love them. Even if they had awful things happening they still could laugh & thank God for what they have. That kind of wealth is so precious ^_^
