If you have to ask how much it costs…
…then you can’t afford it. Welcome to California.
Poor people have to see the flower fields on the evening news, they don’t get to burn $4.00/gallon gas to go see flowers in person, like you, JS.
And in San Diego, there are more poor people every day. Guess what kind of jobs are proliferating in this town? That’s right – low-paying, according to a study out two weeks ago. You used to be able to live here with one job, now you need two or more. Isn’t that what those people who are “conservative with their compassion” call “job growth”? Everybody wants that – NOT.
After seeing that two months of Nostrodamus’ monthly income comes close to the US national ANNUAL median household income, I realized today why I can’t relate to a lot of the posts on this board. We have WAY different perspectives.
By the way, Nostro, I didn’t see “taxes”, or “charitable contributions” in your pie. (Is that your monthly income AFTER taxes?) Glad that you’re proud of your 75% savings rate; it is quite remarkable and undoubtedly the American Dream come true. (I can see how you might choose not to share your prosperity with the less fortunate, but how do you get out of paying taxes?)
If I just could APPROACH that national median income, I might be tempted to stay on here in San Diego; my family home since 1961. If…
If wishes were horses…

April 15, 2008 at 12:32 AM #187376CoronitaParticipantAre you guys aware that reportedly plastic leaks from the bottles into the water. The exception would be that hard plastic, forgot the chemical name for it, but the health store I go to serves water samples out of those containers.
I'm sure there is some leakage, but I haven't researched to what extent. Anyway, I do intend to research it as I have thought about this.
Nostradamus, (or anybody else)you might want to be careful about posting your income on a public message board, golddiggers lurk everywhere-even on Piggington. A young woman, with no education, itching to have a baby and looking for an easy way out, would love to latch onto you. I might be more cautious then most, I don't know.
There was an email forwarded to me by my parnoid mom about health and plastic. Specifically the email claimed to be from John Hopkins university about the dangers of using plastic containers and putting them into the microwave and putting them into freezer. The email went on to say exposing plastics to very hot temps and very cold temps could release dioxins that are harmful/carcinogenic etc. While I generally avoid using plastic in a microwave to heat food (especially food with oil that can easily raise temps), I couldn't understand the logic to the freezing causing toxin chemical release….Well, look what I found…..

Question: Freezing Plastic Water Bottles
I got an email saying freezing plastic water bottles can cause cancer. I normally freeze them to drink throughout my workday as it melts. Is this true? Can freezing plastic water bottles cause cancer?
Answer: Recently, I received the same email warning that freezing water in plastic water bottles could expose consumers to dioxins, a manmade compound which can cause a variety of health problems, even cancer. The email gave credit to the findings to Johns Hopkins University.
After further research, I found the email to be a hoax.
The folks at Johns Hopkins sat down with Dr. Rolf Haden, assistant professor at Department of Environmental Health Sciences and the Center for Water and Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Dr. Haden dispelled the myth saying "This is an urban legend. There are no dioxins in plastics. In addition, freezing actually works against the release of chemicals."
The bottom line is that there is no cancer risk in drinking water from frozen water bottles.

April 15, 2008 at 8:33 AM #187442mixxalotParticipantWow glad I am single!
I went out last weekend to On Broadway to see a top electronic trance music show and cost me $27 since I had free parking for a few hours with validated ticket. Guess life is cheaper as a single man!
