My DH is the surviving beneficiary on an insurance policy his father took out nearly 100 years ago when he served in WWI. DH received $1.89 monthly starting in 1949. (His mother selected that option thinking it would keep him in comic books.) We had to move heaven and earth to get the government to at least consolidate this into an annual check; only proof of his death will stop it. Don't you wonder how many other similar checks are issued where there's no 'sunset' when costs exceed benefit?

The most important thing I've learned in life, and I cannot stress this enough: when you make a salad, you're going to need a bigger bowl than you think.

Yes, there is always that issue with "liking" the first post. Generally, my "like" function works for the others, but just know that if I like them all and appreciate the levity.

Yes!!!
