That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
When prices are low, the gasoline supply sells, the suppliers don't create cheap surpluses, so when the price increases the more expensive gas enters the supply stream immediately. When price is high, users conserve, suppliers over produce and the m…
Speaking of FEMA.
WA state had the earliest case of COVID19 and should be among the first to try to exit the lockdown. If exiting requires testing for people who are hot and people who are immune, we have a slight problem in my area. It seems FEMA i…
@msf It's my first payment date according to the IRS. I've always just made sure it covered income for the first quarter. If this is wrong, then I've been doing it wrong now for the past 10 years.
I haven't been paying but half attention. I am obsessed with wondering the ROI in campaign donations the laundering of 2T dollars can generate even if technically legal.
Just another example of how I am out of my league at MFO. I always thought of "small cap" as "might someday be" not as "has been". As such, I never really educated myself.
Yes, I go to the TSP site, log in, scroll down to the "Account balance by funds" tab, highlight the lines and copy the lines. Then I "paste special" with the "html" option the copied lines into a blank area of my spreadsheet and copy the part of the…
I use Excel also but I also use the "RCH_Stock_Market_Functions.xla" function "smfPriceByDate(ticker,date)". The macros are not password protected so you can see what they do. This one simply takes the input and returns the values from Yahoo for the…
I don't understand the pension questions unless he is going to jail or something. According to Wikipedia, Fauchi was born in 1940 and joined NIH in 1968. Unless he had a very large gap in service, he is probably on the old retirement system, CSRS, a…
@Mark - Thanks, I couldn't imagine that tax money would be laundered through the Care Act to stockholders but, who knows, what stock holders get, they give back in campaign contributions or favors. I read that Chevron was facing the decision to with…
So if RMDs in 2019 take someone over the threshold, the RMD suspension in 2020 might bring them back under the threshold if their RMD was a large amount of their income resulting in a refund when 2020 taxes are filed?
OK, I don't live in the world of blind trusts. What keeps her from putting a bug in the ear of someone close to, involved in or associated with the management of the trust? You know cocktail conversation, golfing gossip, warning to friends, etc. Is …
Then s dirty a bottom it is.
Actually I do realize that a dirty bottom is nothing in comparison to people who are sick or dying but it's stupid (and real) and I really hate stupid.
@Anna - possibly Target or Walmart online? Or similar. Not that you already didn't know this. An Aldi's I went to this a.m. had a stack.Thanks, I tried both last night and didn't find anything. I did order 12 bamboo biodegradable rolls from Amazon t…
I'm near the epicenter and the biggest problem today is no toilet paper anywhere, even Amazon. If a rumor started about a supply of tp, crowds would probably violate the 250 max assembly rule set by the WA governor.
@Old_Joe : Given that the presidential candidates are all old men with lots of exposure due to campaigning I wouldn't be totally shocked if the next president isn't any of the three current contenders
If there are candidate vaccines in the shadows,…
@Old_Joe
Thanks for the info. No, I don't subscribe to WSJ. This tells me that the newness of many of the assays may mean that there is a need for more data before specificity and false alarm rates are locked down. In our state the original victims'…
@sm3
I am curious. Do you know anything about the epidemiology of the cases in the Washington State (Kirkland) LTC facility? Also, do you know if the current test methods in the US have any or many false positives? I tried to Google both questions b…
@dtconroe, I see you have edited the post I replied to and the offensive attack on MFO has been deleted. Thank you for removing those words.
I never complained or said a word about your long post. Not ever. I reacted to the insults you lashed at th…
dtconroe, why do want so badly to hang around people who are known by universal reputation to be so, so, so "shallow" and "focused"? Actually, I've been here for years and years and I think Anna is the only poster that is "shallow" but she isn't all…
I sent my sister a Christmas gift bought on Amazon. She lives in Tennessee, home of FedEx. Amazon delivered the gift and provided a photo of the exact location at her home they left the gift.
