The incurable bitterness is yours. That is why you continually make mealy mouthed remarks. Bitterness from a failed blog I suppose.

Where's the fear mongering??? I'm just stating facts from the medical literature. Go ahead and bury your head in the sand if you choose to.

No. Take the medication. But people mistakenly believe these antivirals are a "cure". And they are not. Reducing your viral load is NOT a cure. Safe sex needs to be practiced at all times so that people, gay or straight, don't get it in the first place. We still have tens of thousands of new cases every year. I have no idea why @Luv2play believes there are nil long terms effects from this. There are, just like chemo and immunotherapy can do long-term damage to your heart, kidneys and liver even if the cancer gets completely knocked out and never returns.

Long term effects of antivirals include kidney disease, liver disease and heart disease. Since you have to take them for years, side effects will happen. "Many on ART experience no side effects at all"....you say. Well, those many have just started taking them. This is a big reason why HIV continues to spread....people think there's a "cure". These meds are ALL TOXIC especially after a decade or two.

True, but it is still no joke. There are horrendous side effects to those anti-viral drugs.

Market valuations are high by historical measures. There was an analyst who said Tesla's market cap will rise to $5 trillion in a few years, from the present $1 trillion. I don't think so.

The Fed can control short term rates, but not long-term rates. The market decides that at Treasury auctions and the market takes into account many factors, such as the perceived or expected rate of inflation. Another factor being cited by economists is the large size of the National Debt, which is causing buyers of Treasuries to demand high rates as an offset to the risk factor of default.

The market does well over a long-time frame. What I'm worried about is the out-of-control National Debt and the possible consequences for all manner of investments. Both sides are profligate.

I don't see how. Food stamps help with the food bills and Medicaid will cover everything if you are low income. I haven't seen or read of any cuts in disability payments.

Oh, please people.

The first priority is to find out your local laws on Air BnB's. Many have changed in the past year because of the nuisance factor and complaints from neighbors. Check out Hollywood's website. They are probably listed there.

So when considering their story, keep this evidence in mind: they went back into the house and finished their mom, then went to the movies as if nothing happened. It was all about the money because with her still in the picture, there's no money. Don't be fooled people, EVERY SINGLE documentary has an agenda, the Director decides which way it'll swing, there's no "equal argument", it's ALWAYS one-sided. Gascon stated point blank that a big part of his decision came to light after watching the doc. What a fool. And funny how evidence just magically appears after 30 years. Like the letter that Erik Menendez “supposedly” wrote to his cousin didn’t surface until 2015. Years after the cousin died. So obviously it can't be authenticated.

Bring back the Statute of Limitations. This is getting ludicrous. A money grab.

The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules or... took a few liberties with our male models. We did. (winks)

The definition of victim changed when I wasn't looking. It now means that you chose to do something but you're not responsible.

This has been going on in Hollywood and the rich and famous and even the general public. QUID PRO QUO and now the so called "victim(s)" come forward with years or decades delay. I'm sorry but the "victim(s)" knew what time it was. They participated as well. I'm sure there was some abuse, but you can't always believe what you read. This is getting out of control.

I collect emotional wounds.

True that! You have to be careful though. The IRS will look at wholesaler's records and see if the retailer has reported, or not, all their sales. In my state, bars are only supposed to buy their inventory from a wholesaler. When the state started an audit a few years back based on what the bars claimed was their sales income and matched it against what they purchased from the wholesalers many of the bars were hit with a big tax bill and penalties. They even estimated how many glasses of beer a keg would produce.

The electronic transactions should be reported. Up to him on whether he wants to report the cash income. Put down self-employed or massage therapist or physical therapist as the occupation.

These are the rates as of Friday, 9/27/24 for the non-callable CD's. at Fidelity. The callable CD's have slightly higher rates but can be called in by the bank at any time before maturity. I think most people avoid the callables. 3 mo 4.55%. 6 mo 4.35%. 9 mo 4.05%. 12 mo 3.90%. 18 mo 3.80%. 24 mo 3.75%. 36 mo 3.65%. 48 mo 3.45%. 60 mo 3.60%.

You should apply for a policy through the Exchange. At your age, you can get a Silver Plan (which is decent) for about $800-$900 a month. That is with NO subsidies if you have a higher than most income level. Prescription benefits are good, and you'll pay about $30 for a doctor visit. Now if you get a serious medical condition, your out-of-pocket expenses can be up to $7k I believe. After that they pay for everything.

Puerto Ricans.

Lending Club Bank has the highest CD rates in the country right now. 6 months 5.00% APY 10 months 5.20% APY 18 months 5.00% APY

‘I’m down to eating ramen’: Social Security benefits aren’t keeping up with inflation (msn.com) THIS is the reality of the inflation we have been experiencing. Social Security gets a cost of living increase every year, but the CPI numbers are not accurate and are not keeping up.

The CPI includes food and energy......the Core CPI inflation rate does not. Whenever the monthly numbers come out people like @EZEtoGRU and others always take the LOWER number. Core CPI was 3.2% but he takes the other number of 2.9%. These numbers are not a true reflection of the inflation rate. They give little or no weighting at all to car insurance, homeowners insurance, property taxes, etc. It includes health insurance premiums but does NOT include indirect purchases of medical goods and services.
