It has _far_ less salt than bullion cubes. No comparison.

A couple of diametrically opposed assertions, no facts.
Products differ widely, so it's hard to be sure. According to their
websites, a serving of Better Than Bouillon chicken base contains 680 mg of
sodium, while a serving of Herb-Ox chicken bouillan contains 1100 mg of
sodium. What I can't find is whether the servings are commensurate - a
serving of Herb-Ox may make two cups of broth while a serving of Better than
Bouillon may make only one, for instance.

Which no-one would object to. It's the *amount* of money they charge for a
simple service that is the outrage!

Unfortunately there is that one honest guy (forgot his name) and the
rest of them. It isn't unusual to be billed $8,000 for a few hours work
by a clerk.
I have been an executor and it really isn't a major event.

Typically a couple would own the house as joint tenants so the
survivor owns it regardless of the will, but you say that you own the
house TinC so the survivor will not inherit the house automatically -
it goes by the will or by the intestacy rules if there is no will.
See here for what happens if you don't have a will:
http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/infoabout/civil/probate/why_will.htm#intestacy
Without a will only the first £250,000 goes to the widow. the rest
goes to the deceased's children 9with widow getting the interest from
half of it).
You don't say what the poportions of ownership of the house are, but
if it is 99% yours, for example, then without a will she would not
even inherit the whole house.

yes they can. Indeed is it normally the best thing to do. They can
engage professional help if they needed it.

people typcailly put in cluases like "providing she shall survive me
by 30 days" to cover such situations. IIRC if you die together the
wills are executed as if the older person died first.

As long as you burn more calories than you consume, you'll lose
weight.
No amount of low-carbing or low-fatting or any other gimmick will
defeat
thermodynamics.
Now, having said that, I recognize that human metabolism is complex,
and what you put in can affect your metabolic rate and (especially)
your appetite.

Only if you eat processed food that has had sugar substituted for fat.
Lettuce is low fat.

HFCS is a blend of fructose and glucose. Table sugar (sucrose) is
broken
down during digestion into fructose and glucose. As far as I can
tell,
eating HFCS is just like eating regular sugar. The problem is not
HFCS,
it's eating too damn many empty calories .
Here's the prescription for a healthy diet:
Eat food. Mostly vegetables. Not too much.
Eat food. Not industrial crap, but real food. McNuggets? No thanks,
I'll just cook some chicken at home. It'll be better tasting and
better
for me.
Mostly vegetables. They're nutrient dense and calorie-poor.
Not too much. Everything in moderation.

Hi,
I was just fooled into purchasing this palm wallet after watching one
of those quick info commercials. The commercial runs so quick, that
you imagine that you have a lot more space in the wallet then you
really do.
There is two zippered compartments, one for change and one for credit
cards, but no separate place for paper currency. If you are in the
habit of carrying a lot of paper currency, forget it.
My current wallet has the same amount of space for credit cards which
is zippered and a envelope type for change etc. It also has a money
clip for paper currency which is closed by a snap on tab. on my
current wallet. This feature is missing on the palm wallet.
My present wallet is also thinner.
My advice to you is don't get fooled by these quick info commercials
as there are similar products out there with the same features and
more.
