I am really interested in companies like this: www.cleanseas.com.au that are trying to breed fish on their own. They still need to grow them in the ocean. Not sure of the cost to get there, but interesting none the less.

I don't know the ins and outs, but my employer offers two health plans, both have the option to fund and HSA with pre-tax dollars, including the lower-deductible plan.

Sure it does. Many people view early termination fees as stupid, so many have moved to the carrier that is eliminating them, T-Mobile. But if you have no option in carriers then I am not sure what your point is

My comment was that he makes a statement that says "I can't see poor people, which means they must not be here". I tried to clarify my comment and have an armchair critic in you disputing me, when you could have googled it to

by chrisgd 13y ago
You are splitting hairs hereIf I say I am taking a vacation and am going to come back refereshed and you say "no, it is because I am going to enjoy life", If you still have to come back to work then the difference is moot.

I signed up for that a year ago and everytime I am reminded of its existence, I kick myself for not using it more often. Especially a time like now when the TV shows my wife and I used to watch are not on and we are looking for something ne
