Unless, of course, you are looking to disrespect the flag. I'm okay with that. Intentionally making a statement by doing something to a flag is fine; it's the people who can't be bothered to wonder about what they are saying that irritate me.

Oooooh. My pet peeve is people who fly those window attached flag thingys to their cars, and then let the flag get all tattered and torn. It's an AMERICAN FLAG, for God's sake! Once it's torn, it should be disposed of...(preferrably by burning).

1. If you have scheduled a meeting with people, do not consume the onions that appear on your sandwich/salad. Do not consume anything with the ingredient "pico de gallo."

2. If you accidently consume said onions/pico, for god's sake don't drink any carbonated beverages.

3. If you belch (even silently) in a small room with lots of people and suddenly every needs a drink/bathroom/smoke break - then yes, it's you.

4. Do not make people relive your lunch.

That is all.

Edited to add, that I, personally, never consume onions. I find them offensive in both taste and smell. Especially the second time around (for the smell thing).

This just in...
do not walk into a person's office to ask/answer a question and leave your onion vapor trail. Just don't do it. It's all I ask.

Does this somehow tie in to the earlier discussion on length and girth?

Unless it is amusing or related to sex.

And even then, leave the odor out of it.

I'm just trying to help out and this is the thanks I get. Fuck you. Is that related to sex enough for you?

I post this emoticon not only for TM but because it shows exactly what I did in my office when I read your post -- before I convinced myself that you MUST be kidding.

Okay, so the FDIC insures bank accounts up to $100,000, right? So that is per account? So a person can just open up another account at the same bank once one account hits $100,000 and still be covered? I love being boring.

I'm not really sure. But I can tell you what my folks did. They had several accounts, but they were with a bank that insured up to 300k each. They had one for my mom, one for my dad and one that was joint. So they told me that each of those accounts was insured for 300k.

Of course, if you are trying to suggest by this question and the way in which it is phrased that you have become wealthy by being boring, that's not very classy.

I'm boring too, and you don't hear me bragging about my wealth.

I'd love to see DS's hat with the feathers. Sounds grand. Speaking of vintage hats, DS should have been here in the Patch last weekend. There was an estate sale at the home of a prominent local hatmaker from the 40s-60s or so. You wouldn't have believed the fabulous hats she had. I bought a "bolero" style hat and a 40s or 50s hat that looked like the hat here but out of straw cloth, no flower and the ribbon didn't dangle:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...3&category=960

I always thought I wasn't a "hat person" but met a hatmaker at an arts & crafts fair and discoveered the right style for your face shape makes all the difference. Now I have some for special occasions and a couple I wear regularly.

As for fur, SD is nuts if he can't tell the difference between fake and fur. You can even tell the difference between a poor quality fur and a good one. No one should bitch about Minnesotans wearing fur. It gets cold here like you wouldn't believe. I have a full-length shearling coat that is the only thing for below zero weather. I also have a perfectly frivolous vintage Persian lamb stole/cape that I wear to the opera when it is cold but not bitter cold. I'd wear mink if I felt like spending that much $$ on a coat. And I wouldn't feel guilty about it either.

The oddest craving by a pregnant woman was a vegetarian friend who started craving beef.

Sure. But could I ask you to shower first? You smell like onions.

Dear Boring one.

It was my understanding that the way to get $300,000 covered at a bank if you were married was to have one account in wife's name, one account in husband's name, and one joint account. That leads me to believe that two accounts under the same name are subject to the $100,000 cap on an aggregate basis.

However, I learned that a long time ago, I learned it with respect to a credit union, and the people from whom I learned it were not the brightest bulbs in the Christmas lights.

You suck. You are being entirely too nice and helpful.

What is wrong with you?

The question was not personal, somebody in the office asked me. Around here they seem to assume that as a lawyer I should know this shit. Nobody I know has ever had $100,000 in the bank not to mention $300,000 so I didn't know the answer. By using the re line and ending with "I am boring" I was making fun of my own post and failure to speak of something pertinent to the board.

Thanks for the information though. Was it your parents' bank that insured for the $300,000? I thought the FDIC only did up to $100,000 per account. I will google it.

Thanks to RP and ltl -- and I appreciate the link. Now I know.
