LOL that's similar to walking into a bar with your wife and the bartender sets you're preferred beer and shot down without a word........ My wife is the same way with guns, there are so many and so much traffic she quit paying attention long ago.

RIP to our lost forum members.

The average person really doesn't fully grasp the impact of inflation on personal finance. Folks on fixed incomes really get the point. Some of the market gains mentioned are impressive when viewed as a percentage of growth and even more so when you look at the compound annual growth rate, but...

Hope all is well.

I have a few Randalls, I do not use them. I bought them primarily because my uncle had one, he got when he was in the military stationed in Alaska. He used it as a tool on many hunting fishing and camping trips and believed it was the finest knife a man could own. It was cared for but heavily...

TY sir I must have missed this. Glad all is well. He is in my area and although we have never met in person we have chatted a bit. L

I haven't seen any posts lately and he was last seen on the forum in late May. He has always been active so I thought I would inquire. I hope all is well.

Sorry to hear you are walking Jack. This is a quality community, and we are all blessed to have had the opportunity to participate. Keep your powder dry.

I guess you can't blame folks who grew up in the urban jungle for their ignorance. You did what you had to do and anyone who has had to do it knows there is no joy in it. I live in east central Ohio, and we have an ever-growing deer population. Several years ago, I was heading out to go duck...

It must not have been hungry....... Unleash the fury Mitch.........

One thing about tips today, they are recorded on credit card transactions as we move to a cashless society. There is a clear paper trail of how much an employee received when they cash out for the day so I think more are reported today than in the past when cash was more heavily used. One other...

The deduction will help seniors with lower income levels which isn't a bad thing. Right? As far as how it is spun is just that more spin. They all do it so you just have to read and educate yourself. BTW what was the old saying - the pen is mightier than the sword ?
