Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tinfoil hats are obsolete!

STOP ALIEN ABDUCTIONS

THE THOUGHT SCREEN HELMET STOPS ALIENS FROM ABDUCTING HUMANS.  IT'S A TESTED DEVICE THAT WORKS.

"Since trying Michael Menkin's Helmet, I have not been bothered by alien mind control. Now my thoughts are my own. I have achieved meaningful work and am contributing to society. My life is better than ever before. Thank you Michael for the work you are doing to save all humanity."
- Jon Locke

The thought screen helmet blocks telepathic communication between aliens and humans. Aliens cannot immobilize people wearing thought screens nor can they control their minds or communicate with them using their telepathy.  When aliens can't communicate or control humans, they do not take them.

The thought screen helmet has effectively stopped several types of aliens from abducting or controlling humans. Only two failures were reported since 1998.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Maria, sweetling, I admire all your shapliness, and your gi-normous brain.

Debt, however, sux!

I can leave your DF out of the thing. He has a job. People have desires. Neither of these is his fault.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

ER: I completely agree on the EEEWWWW! Eyeball!! Susan reciting the hippo story to Cosmo was so very cute.

beth b just told me to "munch it".

Seriously. Do the arithmetic. Store $750 K versus borrow $750 K.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Maria, sweetling, I admire all your shapliness, and your gi-normous brain.

Why thank you Gus, dahling.

Debt, however, sux!

l stand firm. Debt that can be written off on taxes isn't necessarily a bad thing. Most people can't afford to drop $200k+ in one shot on a house.

I can leave your DF out of the thing. He has a job. People have desires. Neither of these is his fault.

No, and he's not one of those who will push someone into something that's not good for them. He (and those who work for him) really try to improve a person's financial situation while satisfying their desire to own their own home.

What good is it if you don't have a pot to piss in? Renting is not the best solution for everyone.

Yeah, I'm kind of looking forward to living in the place while I'm accumulating all those many Ks, rather than just giving it to the landlord.

I'm not sure how I am to store money I don't have. Renting I was spending about 500.00 less, and no tax break
