Brees isn't getting away with some of the stuff he's been able to get away with so far.
I am kind of pretending not to watch. At least, not staring at the screen directly.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

I did not add the water. Trying to dump the batter back in the bowl and add water after it had been cooking for about 10 minutes seemed like it might also lead to failure. It was a fairly wet batter anyway.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Mystery writers used to love Tontines - because not only a great setup for murder, but if the murders was clever, it took a lot of deaths before you could narrow down your suspect list.
Not really good for itas idea but: I heard about (but am not sure) some modern life insurance pools are a sort of backdoor reverse tontine. Most people with life insurance cash them in before death, often at a hefty penalty. Well in some pools (and BillyTea I hope will correct me if I got this wrong) not all of that penalty is profit for the insurer. Some of it goes back into the fund and adds to the return for those who stay in. So you "win" by not cashing out while alive, but staying in until you die. Or at least the person collecting wins that way. I always wondered when hearing this, "are there really life policies with variable payouts like that?". Again BillyTea probably knows whether I misunderstood something or whether there are actual policies like this.

If it seemed wet maybe it will be okay.

Yeah it is. I might need a beer if we ever actually get to halftime.

Thanks, I think I will! I hope that doesn't impact my counted cross-stitch too badly.

I'm making chili, and I think some alcohol will be called for to accompany it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
goodwill stores and estate sales are good places to find crock pots.
I think I might be giving that a shot. I paid less than $10 for the one I have and that was a dozen years ago? How am I seeing slow cookers that are hundreds of dollars? I'm not sure I am willing to spend more than $20.
