That might make it harder to steal cookies, I'm not sure.
If it weren't for the food ... okay, not everyone sucks. Just that those who do suck close.
Does it need to be an adjective?
I don't know. Before, everyone was dorky, and it was fun. Recently, more and more people are fleshy, and it started out well, but is now overwhelming.
Which segues (in my brain, at least) to this chick. I don't know her, have never spoken to her, but every time I see her, she brings sex to mind. Not sex with her, just sex. She's not particularly attractive or naked, or anything. It's like seeing someone triggering the idea that you need to get ginger ale at the store, or something. It's really not personal.
I am wondering, though, if it happens to anyone else, and I imagine it'd be very distracting if it happened to people who found her attractive.
Maybe it's a pheremone thing, ita?
About the credit card problem...
The estate is liable for all debts, including credit card debt. And creditors get their take, before heirs get their take. BUT If there is no estate, the credit card companies can't just pick a blood relative to haunt. Don't mistake me. They will try, but they can't. If there is no estate, there is no responsible party.
This is my understanding. I welcome correction.
That said, if your father has $30,000 in assets, and owes $25,000 in credit card debt, you've got to pay the cc debt.
If your father has an apartment and didn't leave you anything on paper, and dies, owing the credit card company 25,000? He wins.

Woohoo! Take that you credit card fiends!
Does dowry count as a normal gift for taxation purposes?
Underwear question: Slate says jockstraps aren't in vogue anymore. True or false?
Does life insurance count as part of one's estate?

Hell no. And I believe it's tax free.
Slate says jockstraps aren't in vogue anymore.
Wait, they were a fashion item? Like, ever?

In vogue, as in popular, not in vogue as in in Vogue.
Fascinating discussion of taxes. I'm not too gentle in my mind on people who get huge assets dropped in their laps, because assets are assets. If you own a wingding worth $10, even if you never, ever, ever intend to sell it, it's still $10 sitting around your house disguised as a wingding. The law is not designed to let you keep your grandma's beloved wingding no matter how valuable, because the law has no idea whether you actually love it or would sell it for crack at the first opportunity.
Also, I am all for rich people giving money to the poor, via government or another method. Call it The Other Trickle-Down Theory, the one that is not actually stone cold banditry.
