  1. #31
    I got a couple free from places and my Grandmother (now 98!) made a couple nice ones for me. Four is plenty for my shopping. Never get more than that on one trip.

    At Sams Club self checkout, you can't use cash, either, but that's the only place I haven't seen a cash option at at least a few of the U scans.

    This is not "stock market gains". It doesn't include the valuation of assets, because when you sell those assets, there is no net gain to the gross private savings (unless you sell it to someone abroad).

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988
