Quote from Frankie55

Is there no end to the insanity? I thought the democrat's & republican's were in agreement on a stimulus package? Then Nancy steps in and feels the need to create her personal wishes to include things like wind & solar tax credits and emission standards.

I moved all my stocks into conservative funds and its still hemorrhaging badly. So far on paper I've lost a 2020 Slingshot "R" model and a 2020 Harley Road King (not that I was going to buy one or both but if all stays as is I could have but now have nothing). I'm sure I'll recover some but how much? It's a large part of my income. I've lost my spending money for a long time and I'll be burning up savings in other accounts while attempting to "catch-up" to comfortable levels.

Come-on congress, stop the political bull crap. Think about what this is doing to people and industries that create jobs needed for people to maintain a steady living.

Gonna have to cut them some slack as it takes them a lot of time to jack each other off to get what they want.

Looks like our governments laws are coming back to bite em in the ass. They outlawed cigarette sales on the internet now the grocery stores can't sell them with online shopping, Bet they change the law so big money can. Of course it will take a handout from big money to the gov so they can.

Quote from Bill Martin

insider trading is illegal no matter who you are - the ones is government are just really crafty

They are not crafty, they are above the law. No crafty to it. Bet they put a loophole in that law big enough to dive a herd of elephants through.

Quote from Bigdog

you can get anything you need with enough ammo....that’s how non preppers think....toilet paper can’t stop bullets..

I'm purty sure if you coat your toilet paper with Teflon it will deflect a bullet.

Quote from Bigdog

my buddies kid just called him and said our local Walmart was out of toilet paper.

i realize some of you might not have prepared enough and could run out of toilet paper so I have prepared a toilet paper conservation tutorial for you.....so you won’t be up a polluted tributary without the proper means of propulsion....up sh.t creek without a paddle...

Step #1.

Take one sheet of toilet paper from the roll

step #2.

Fold it in half

Step #3.

Fold it in half again

step #4

tear out the folded corner like so

Step #5

Save the corner piece

step #6

Insert your middle finger in the hole like this And wipe yourself

Step #7

Slide the paper up your finger while wiping off the poop and discard

step #8

Use the tiny corner piece to clean out under your finger nail.

Step #9

Wash your hands with soap and water. You’re done.

you’re welcome....don’t run out....

Sure glad you didn't do a video...

Out with the old...

And in with the new.

Almost finished...

I just listened to local houston news... I'm waiting for someone to declare marshal law. Hope the national guard brings toilet paper. America has truly gone brain dead.

Building a new instrument panel for my Cheetah trike (adding in a fuel gauge ), new larger gas tank, repainting... etc

Quote from Edward Neal

well - - the crap from this virus has really hit the fan now. Riverside County (the county Palm Springs is in) has ordered all schools closed starting Monday 3/16 until April 6th unless it gets extended.

so no school - - no day care - - - and for parents with kids who dont have someone to watch their kids - no work. Add that to the canceling of all of our big events that normally happen this time of year and I suspect this is going to be the death of many of our small local businesses

So far the Indians have been keeping the casino open, but my wife tells me its been very slow which ,as a person who makes her money through tips, is not a good thing - -Sara has been doing okay so far, but many of her coworkers are not

On the bright side last year, knowing I am getting ready to retire (going be 66 in June) , I moved all of my retirement funds out of the market and into cash equivalents - - - my accounts haven't lost even a single dime - - - so thats a good thing

what really pisses me off is how the press has hyped this all out of proportion - - its so obviously their attempt to disrupt things in an attempt to hurt Trump - causing panic for political gain - - they should all be shot

I see you did what I did... invested all your money in Beano. A very wise decision.

Quote from JamesB

I think you have an issue with the current brand of globalism not capitalism. Western countries have abundant workplace safety regulations, fair compensation, and great environmental protection laws. We then compete against third world economies which have none of these. Our governments have sold us out and provide free access of products that should be heavily taxed to equalize the playing field. That is not capitalism. It only become capitalist if all the players play by the same rules. China is not a capitalist country, so how can we compete?

Some of that was pretty funny, I don't know how many times where oil and gas (and other company's) employees get killed on the job because the company refused to fix safety problems. And the first thing the CEO will do is jump on his stump and recite his canned speech "we are the safest company in the world". In the mean time family's are mourning their dead. 15 people dead on an oil rig and the canned speech will be heard once again. And what's even more ironic is with millions or gallons of oil spilling into the ocean, 15 people dead what's the CEO doing 30 days later... He's over in England teaching his kid how the bet on the pony's. Oh well I guess that's what you call capitalism. Oh wait! We should call it capitalism without responsibility. There that sounds better.

Our experience has been where we have never had any good luck dealing with online insurance companies and today choose to only do business in person locally. Being able to actually walk into an office and talk with some body personally can make a big difference.

The local guy for allstate is a nitwit.

Quote from WOLF

I'm pretty sure it's free without insurance also. I'll check Walgreens and CVS for you's.

I'm purty sure it's free when you don't get a flu shot... I haven't had a flu shot in probably 30 years... got the flu once or maybe twice in that time.

Quote from Bigdog

I bought a cover for my slingshot and they sent me a confirmation email......a year later I needed the warranty because it ripped from being in the sun .....I had to have that confirmation email or the warranty wasn’t any good....seems a little scammy to me.

Anything to get out of it....Not a good way to do business ...

What's really stupid is I had to cancel my credit card in order to keep them from charging me another 600.00 on a vehicle I don't even own. Allstate and their conman tactics really suck.

Quote from Flybuddy

All you need is a "Charge" card

Yep, there looking to cash in. Probably cost just as much as gas at the pumps.

Quote from Bigdog

it’s only automatic if I make the payment....send me a renewal bill if I pay it we’re good to go. They refund money all the time back to the date you tell them you sold it....

They billed me even after my insurance went to another insurance company. Funny how a little paperwork can create a large problem. You can't call or email these people to correct one of their problems. You have to show documentation. I've never had this problem with any other insurance company in my life.

Looks like they are putting in charging stations at my local HEB.

I sold my slingshot back around 8/19 and Daniel Herrera and allstate insurance are still trying to bill me as a customer even after cancelling my insurance and telling them I sold that vehicle. Careful who you do business with. Talk about low life peckerwoods.

They'll get subsidies from the government to cover their losses.

Quote from Bigdog

bernie wants to raise taxes on everyone making over $29,000....and we know they will use it in a very well managed way.....

every thing is free after you pay for it with more taxes....

Same way with England and other country's overseas... dentist, doctor etc, etc. It's all free, all you have to do is pay 8 or 9 bucks a gallon for gas. Free is good, all you have to do for free is pay for it.
