      Hasn't anyone heard of pre-planning ?


      Leaving debt to my loved ones is something I'd never ever do.

      Just sayin' is all.

        Can you even do that? How would you leave a dept to someone else?

        Because if you can...I have a gift for Riffle.

          I imagine the only way to leave a dept to someone is to have independently owned and operated a dept store? Maybe?

          So tell me, which dept would you leave to Riffle?

        Oh father of Thunderbird junior, age 4, there are occasions (frequently) when I fear for your sanity. It's only the fact that Walking Axminster needs help more urgently that prevents me from making you the shrink's first new year call-out.

          No, l would rather make disguising amounts of money, then pay someone else to pay all my bills, etc!

          Then reluctantly give my amassed fortune to someone else, that will most likely p*** it all away, and end up broke!

          Who is Walking Axminster? No need for alarm in my case -- I don't collect junk mail and, contrary to rumor, don't peruse over it as if it is holy manuscripts. That shrine in my home with junk mail lit by candlelight was a JOKE. The Junk-mail museum is a millionaire's thing, and since he's rich, he's "eccentric," not crazy.

          But, I have to admit that I would visit the museum out of curiosity (the topic actually does interest me LOL), but I don't think it ever was set-up since search results produce nothing about it after the date of that article

          I've long contemplated making a documentary, simply asking different people the meaning of life. It's been done many times before I'm sure (never mind the Monty Python movie), but I'd like to do it.

    Genuine significance may be distinctive for each individual; life is to constantly appreciate genuine joy, wealth, great well being and thriving. On the off chance that in stead you lead a life of frustrates, lack, strife, sick well being, and unlimited battles then you have to change your life from inside. As the truism goes, "life is the thing that you make it". All these circumstances you draw in to yourself. Life accordingly is in respect to one's desires, objectives and wants and how one sets himself up to attain to these.

      Hmmm, could also be primeval energy bundles evolving through gas, rock, simple organisms, more complex life forms all the way to humans, in order to understand itself, and the true meaning of the distinction of polarities within a three dimensional construct, in order to evolve to a point that it is aware of its own divinity and can ascend beyond life and death!

    You're born, you live, you die.

    And in between the first and last, you make the world a better place for someone.

    Could be your family.

    Could be your friends.

    Could be your city or town or state or country or world.

    The main point is....

    You left the world a better place.

          There would be more donuts (corrected American spelling). But the bananas? Do you think Riffle and I are going to die at the same time?

          Do you snore with an English accent?

              I found the flaw in your plan. When you invite Riffle and me to the bar, your spelling will be so muddled by your accident of English birth...that your identity will be obvious. (You, or Good Dan)

              Unless your spelling is simply all wrong, and the invitation is smeared with bananas, then I'll know that it was Riffle who sent the invitation.

              And if the invitation is a perfectly crafted masterpiece...that means I sent the invitation to myself. Probably postage due, because I'm so cheap.

              I beg to differ. Not cos I side with Joseph but cos typing donut vs doughnut saves time energy and life force, since there are far fewer letters to type. In the long run this'll mean less oxygen spent, calories consumed, less stress on the heart and pulmonary system, meaning longer life and less health care compensations.

                My Dear Professor. I have to agree with you. I find it very revealing, that if you simply take out the unnecessary letters from the wrong spelling...ie Doughnut.....you end up with the word Ugh.

                And that is what I feel every time I see Donut spelled Doughnut. See? Even the English know that their spelling is so off, they just include the word Ugh...to save time.

                Did I ever tell you how the British thought that the perfect camouflage was wearing a bright red coat, when fighting in the US? My great great great grandfather, Rip Chisel'em, sold them on the idea. He told them that in the US, trees are bright red.

                And, how come American actors can't do a decent English accent, but the Brits can do a perfect American accent? I just found out that one of the stars of Homeland is the English actor Damian Lewis.

                At least Sherlock Holmes is played by that great American actor Jonny Lee Miller.
                Take that!

                  Did I ever tell you how the British thought that the perfect camouflage was wearing a bright red coat, when fighting in the US? My great great great grandfather, Rip Chisel'em, sold them on the idea. He told them that in the US, trees are bright red.

                  And, how come American actors can't do a decent English accent, but the Brits can do a perfect American accent? I just found out that one of the stars of Homeland is the English actor Damian Lewis.

                  At least Sherlock Holmes is played by that great American actor Jonny Lee Miller.
                  Take that!
                  Your right, by the time you have figured out the British spelling, you could have eaten three of them.

                    And that is what I feel every time I see Donut spelled Doughnut. See? Even the English know that their spelling is so off, they just include the word Ugh...to save time.

                    No, the English wore red uniforms, so when they got into the battlefield and blood was spilt, it wouldn't put off the alive ones as much. Especially the young, nothing more offputting than seeing decapitations, losing limbs, etc! Yuck!
