Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Fuzzy memory + buffistas = actual information once again.

I'm confused by that article. Are the companies giving people a choice in the matter or not?

I'm not surprised by the con though. As more and more people realize that whole-life policies don't really make financial sense, the insurance companies were bound to come up with something.

You can opt out in the sense that you can withdraw everything immediately, but it's not obvious from the documentation that the account is not a normal bank account. Saying people ar forced into it is a bit strong, but it is the default.

So, basically, they're preying on grieving people that might have something else on their minds. Nice.

Pretty much.

Ugh. I'm sorry you have to be dealing with people like that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Megan said. Asshats!

I need to decide what to do today. I suspect it should probably include getting out of the house and/or eating something healthier than triscuits, but so far I am at a loss.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac is actually playing nicely with his grandfather, so I decided to do some search for possible part-time jobs that give benefits. No openings at any Starbucks within an hours drive. crazy. Only pt jobs at UPS right now require lifting up to 70lbs which, just no.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So, we picked out Avon Meowsdale at the shelter. (The reason we got a new cat was the sudden & unexpected passing last month of Immanual Kat. No punctuation please, I'm already there.) So these integration tips are helpful! He's apparently quite the boss/fighter/treat fiend, so he takes after his namesake. We pick him up tomorrow. Then he will start terrorizing Kripkat.

Punishingly Intricate

Avon Meowsdale?!?! Brilliant!
