LOL I never heard of anyone get 150,000 miles on any tire. I grew up in Buffalo, NY with severe winters and now live in Florida with brutally Most tires with a treadwear rating of 500 have a manufacturer's warranty of 50,000 miles.

Have a care, because my recent experience with Alaska Cremation Society was unsatisfactory, due to the representative taking my payment, then telling me it can be processed only by an insurance company. I had asked him what the process would be if a body were at a morgue, identity known, but no one to notify the cremation society.
 
Best bet, IMO, if you are a vet, is to arrange burial through the VA.

Maybe need to consider bags that protect against rain, snow, and vermin, such as the mummy type, with hood, and the larger rectangular bags that have an elevated tent that extends over your head. There are even bags that zip together for more warmth from another, maybe your dog?

Apparently junk mail subsidizes the first class stuff.
 
I KNOW they sold my mom's forwarding address to whoever would buy it
after the 1-year forward expired -- after that the begging letters came
to HER name at MY address. She was always annoyed that the charities
she supported wasted her money by begging for more. After 5 years I
think she broke even.

OK, lets see some consistent thinking here.
 
The French lefties are protesting "rising cost of living" and "demand
higher wages and social benefits".
 
You think that maybe "higher wages and social benefits" will reinforce
the loop of "rising cost of living" ?
 
Who exactly pays for the "higher wages and social benefits" ?
 
I think everyone should march in the streets to protest the economic
failures of the current failing regime.
 
Down with the aged senile dictator and his aged cronies.
 
Down with the free money thinking and spending that is destroying the

Down with greedy corporations collecting RECORD profits by raising their
prices just because they can.
 
Funny how "inflation" is not hurting corporations a bit.
 
Now what was that about the causing inflation?

$2 million is only $5480 a day.
 
Spend $5480 every day and pay off the balance every day.

Recoupable - stuff I can buy for that and resell for at least that.
 
But don't say event tickets, been there, done that.

Of old, women were indeed protected, elevated, revered and controlled, as of necessity.
 
Now, especially since women have gotten suffrage and legal entitlement to inheritance, they are controlling finances and flaunting institutions and conventions, even to the extent of adopting Hollywood sirens' displays of porn, tattoos, and of course what used to be called profane speech. And our news media make a sport of it, showing women fighting in public, doing ugly things to get attention.
 
Hard to know what women's virtues are anymore, so many are prostituting themselves for survival, getting drug dependent, aborting unwanted children.
 
So I'd say you're talking about "depraved life," too.

And adding "vision care" to medical insurance is a waste. Medical
vision care is already covered; an optometric exam is under $100 at
Costco, and you can get good mail-order glasses for under $40. People
who don't know this are probably victims in other financial areas too.
