I personally don’t want regulation but education.

If people choose to eat the junk and be unhealthy, that’s their business and their own damn fault.

True.. but with Universal Health Care.. we all will be paying for it. Even if you decide to be healthy and take time to exercise, you’ll be paying for those who decide not to, to have a bad diet and be couch potatoes.[/quote]

You mean you health care premiums at your company are half those of your obese chain-smoking diabetic Rush/Moore lookalike co-workers today?

No, they are almost always identical except at a few firms where smoking is targeted, but premium difference is only few hundred/year.

Remember, the average Gov’t employee makes Moore look like Lance Armstrong and you pay for their health care.

Anyone who says they don’t want a fat tax (or Allan’s re-education boot camp) doesn’t realize that what your obese co-worker does directly affects your premiums. Small firms that have high claims get booted through massive hikes.

The Business Roundtable projects that health care costs will double in 10 years.
Guess that will make USA super competitive; all the jobs will come here.
So get over your false pretense of freedom unless you want 12% UE forever.

BTW, sugar is much more addictive than tobacco.

[quote=infoseeker]In all the 3 offers we made so far the listing agents bluffed via email about other offers being higher than ours :). 2 of the 3 houses went below what they said they had the offer for… 1 of them is still in market[/quote]
The correct approach is to state they have a “better” offer, which is legally correct. “They threw in 2 tickets to Manilow concert, which is priceless, but worth at least 10K.

[quote=carli]A couple more suggestions –

1) Try http://www.costco.com, which has way more furniture options than you see in the warehouses. I haven’t personally bought furniture from them but I assume it’s decent quality and they seem to have quite a few things that are sold in sets.

2) Try Home Goods, which is owned by the same company that owns Marshall’s and TJ Maxx and has some decent furniture – not a lot of sofas but good selection of chairs, rugs, end/coffee tables, etc.

Good luck![/quote]
Costco is only place with return policy. Heard someone who complained about sofas sagging 6 month later and got full refund.

Diana Olick reports that interest-only product will allow borrowers to defer their balances from 6 to 10 years.

RE is a no lose game. If you overpay, taxpayers got your back. You put no money down, get principal reduction and get 6-10 more years for market to recover to make a profit. Stock market is the real Ponzi scheme.
