Is that a call for abstinence or a call for a PIGG get together?Participant[quote=sdduuuude]I have made a drink similar to a lemon drop, only w/ grapefruit.
For lemon drops, I use 1 part vodka, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part simple syrup.
For grapefruit drops, I use 1 part absolute grapefruit vodka (not liquer, vodka), 1 part grapefruit juice and 1/2 simple syrup. Sugar the rim if you like.[/quote]
too sweet. Sweet drinks can hurt my head the next day.Participant[quote=sdduuuude]I have made a drink similar to a lemon drop, only w/ grapefruit.

I agree with this. The big advantage a trust has is getting rid of probate for assets held by the trust.But most people fail to transfer their assets into the trust. (bank accounts, etc.)

July 27, 2011 at 9:13 AM in reply to: Debt ceiling deadline: Will rates rise after August 2nd? #713924Participant[quote=threadkiller]I keep hearing this, but exactly which “agencies” are we talking about here? The same ones that got bailed out or overseas agencies?[/quote]
They’re talking about the big 3 credit agencies: Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. They’re pretty international… They rate everyone’s debt – Japan, Greece, the US…Not sure about their bailout status – but they were integral in the whole MBS toxic tranches fiasco… so they have some credibility issues. But they still are the only game in town short of doing your own analysis of credit worthiness.
That said… I heard an interview with Bill Gross of Pimco last night on NPR – He said Japan was downgraded by these agencies in 2002, and it didn’t have a big effect on their abilty to get credit. In the current case – as long as we still pay our bills (interest) people will still buy treasuries. A rise in interest rates on treasuries might actually cause folks like Pimco to start buying treasuries again.
