  - :) Mine is just a 3 litre Huzzar vodka bottle that I got in a pub one time. It is a proper flippin pain counting and bagging it, I will say. -- nm - Loyola Oct 20, 12:11 1
    - lots of mega grocery stores have a coin machine, sure it charges for the pennies, but even that goes away if you opt for a GC to a major dealer like - zeitgeist Oct 20, 12:31
- I did this with a 5 gallon water jug. I was going to cash it in when full and go on vacation. - decline Oct 20, 12:04 2
  - I did this with about 30 dollars of coins in a glass water jug, swirled them around, the side blew out and I had glass and coins everywhere. -- nm - Max Oct 20, 12:08 1

REB2: Healthcare denial. Got this Obama mail just now. - Spawn Oct 20, 11:44 16
- Stuff like this makes my blood boil. It's so sick. And people out there actually want to protect these companies. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 20, 11:49 15
  - You're assuming that everyone out there that doesn't want government run healthcare don't want any type of reform. - Stephen Oct 20, 12:09 8
    - as an example: everyone agrees that denial of coverage is sickening. so why is it legal? why can that company legally do that? - TFox Oct 20, 12:10 7
      - Here's the rub with that...if you make denials illegal...you open a completely new can of worms. - Jim Oct 20, 12:14 2
        
        Even if you tackle the whole issue all at once, it could be disastrous. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 12:16
        
        i fully agree. i'm talking about fairly open and shut stuff like pre-existing exclusions, rescission for mundane ambiguous shit, etc. - TFox Oct 20, 12:16
      - [deleted] 2
        
        sure. but those principles aren't working here, for obvious reasons. so regulate. make that shit illegal. - TFox Oct 20, 12:13 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Absolutely agree. -- nm - Stephen Oct 20, 12:12
  - they don't want to protect these companies per se, they want to protect their lives against any change that might negatively affect them. - znufrii Oct 20, 11:58
  - they do whatever Rush and Glen tell them to do -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 20, 11:55
  - People out there *who aren't investors* want to protect these companies - that's what boggles MY mind ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:54 1
    - [deleted]
  - I will never understand that. And those folks who would protect health insurance companies better hope against hope that they never get truly sick. - Deevil Oct 20, 11:54

Kelly, yes, i *usually* get a real tree, but i also have a little fake 5 ft tree that i've used when getting a real tree wasn't practical. - Andie Oct 20, 11:39 16
- we buy little potted trees and if they don't die while inside we plant them in whiskey barrels, now that we have a half dozen we are re-thinking that -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 20, 11:44 3
  - i love the re-usable live tree. - Andie Oct 20, 11:47 1

  - Tired of drinking that much whiskey each Christmas? - Spawn Oct 20, 11:45
- Your first paragraph is how we got our tree every year when I was growing up. - kelly Oct 20, 11:42 6
  - That's what attics are for. (Not for hiding Non-Balloon Boys.) -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 11:44 4
    - I almost posted, "A tractor? I prefer my annual trip up to the attic, thank you." -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 11:46
    - and basements and garage rafters. :) -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 11:46 2
      - Our Attic is basically above the garage, so it's one in the same for us. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 11:49

- nmbAndie - Hotkiss Oct 20, 11:41
- (nb - i also have 'douglas fir room spray' - i use it all christmas too, just to exagerrate the tree smell.) -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 11:39 3
  - for some reason, I now have a mental image of you prancing around in footie PJs spraying tree smells everywhere -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:47 2
    - this wouldn't be entirely wrong. -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 11:48 1
      - Duh. "footie PJs"? Try "teddy". -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 11:51

        I hate saying this but I'd even include Francona in the argument. He does a great job with that team. -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 12:14 1
