- why is it a question? -- nm - Fednog Dec 16, 09:11 5
  - because it has a question mark on the end. -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 09:15
  - 'how are you?' is a question. :) -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 16, 09:13 3
    - That would have been "como estan?" Nitpick, I know, but still. - con_Kringle Dec 16, 09:17 1
      - (I thought the same thing.) -- nm - b.festive. Dec 16, 09:18

$715. THAT'S what the uncle is worried about? Holy shit, he's a bigger Dick than I thought. - CrankYanker Dec 16, 09:05 16
- [deleted]
- No. 30K is the 1/7th as I understood it. Meaning the 30 k would go back into the pool to be divided six ways. - TWuG Dec 16, 09:06 12
  - Ah, then it is worth it. I would tell the uncle that it is going into an account for her great-grand sons college. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 09:08
  - I understood it to be that there must be 4 grandkids forgoing 30k (7,500 each) if they sign the waiver. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 09:07 6
    - This is also correct. the 30k is the 1/7th share that 4 grandkids would split. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 09:09
    - [deleted] 3
      - which total? the total that gets split seven ways? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 09:11 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        No 30k is one seventh. So grandma had 210k stashed away somewhere. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 09:12
    - Which is what you meant. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 09:08
  - [deleted] 1
    - Agreed. But he doesn't have any documentation to back it up. He's creating heartache over what amounts to a pittance. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 09:11
  - that's how i read it too -- nm - Fednog Dec 16, 09:07
  - ah, ok, he's still a dick. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 16, 09:07
- I did not read but if that is all, let it go. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 09:05 1
  - agreed. it's a petty amount to completey ruin family relations over. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 09:06
I think I'd give Hannah Teter a vote for athlete of the decade based solely on her maple blondie ice cream. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 16, 09:04
For those of you with kids and without wills, I'd highly recommend - TWuG Dec 16, 09:02 3
- I like this. Lots. -- nm - OAE Dec 16, 09:23
- We have this taken care of via our living trust. -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 16, 09:15 1

- I wrote-out my current one before my hip surgery (a year ago a week ago). -- nm - b.festive. Dec 16, 09:20
- Same here - which leads to a question. I was considering adding my daughter to the house title with right of survivorship, but my friend says I'd be - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 09:04 7
  - Talk to a trusts and estates lawyer. - pmb Dec 16, 09:08 5
    - That's on the list. Bill and I had everything in joint tenancy, so that was very simple, but it will be different when I go. - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 09:11
    - [deleted] 3
      - I'm not so much worried about taxes as about ease of disposition. -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 09:12 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think the big issue, and I might be remembering incorrectly, is that putting her name on the house opens it up to claims against her. - TWuG Dec 16, 09:15
  - Trust. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 09:05
- This is also on my '10 to do list. -- nm - decline Dec 16, 09:00

- 2012! -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 09:06
- I will be sad when that blows. It'll just be me and Dane and marcel posting here. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 09:00
- the term "mafic" was the subject of a question/answer on jeopardy a few weeks ago. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 09:00 3
  - excellent. my reach expands. -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 09:05 2
    - *does everything to stop you* -- nm - felsic Dec 16, 09:08 1
      - can't we all just get along? -- nm - intermediate Dec 16, 09:10
- Exactly. I did not read, but I thought the story was upping the size. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 09:00 3
  - not really. it's more that they've solidly proven what almost everyone had already inferred. - mafic Dec 16, 09:03 2
    - Ah. Way to go ML, trying to up my fear level! -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 09:04
    - Well, if it's really that big and dangerous, can we avoid groundbreaking? - Will Hunting Dec 16, 09:04

- ysmim -- nm - Max Dec 16, 08:59 1

Dear Santa: I need gloves. - adventy97 Dec 16, 08:57 1
- You know where you get great waterproof and windproof gloves? A good hardware shop. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 08:58
re: golf, and goalies at the hole ... mother nature is golf's goalie. Physics and weather combine to taunt you. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 08:57 6
- more and more, though I'm liking the idea of adding linebackers to track and field events... -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 16, 09:06

      - L3! -- nm - Fednog Dec 16, 09:01
quote Jeff Dunham means you lose. - Reagen Dec 16, 08:56 30
- I'm not arguing it's not a sport....just there's zero way you can argue it's a sport and the board prior, argue golf ain't. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 08:59 7
  - This is pretty much how I feel, I just go a step farther and question a sport - Jim Dec 16, 09:06
  - I consider Sailing a sport, so I don't see why auto racing shouldn't be -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 09:00 4
    - They are attempting to get Bridge added to the Olympics and claim it is a sport - decline Dec 16, 09:05 2
      - Cards are games...not sports. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 09:07 1
        
        I want to know when washers or horse shoes get to be an Olympic sport. -- nm - Jim Dec 16, 09:18
    - Same concept; the best sailboats are funded to ridiculous degrees. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 09:03
  - I don't think we disagree in principle but in degree - Reagen Dec 16, 09:00
- you don't like Jeff Dunham? isn't he the ventriloquist guy? (isn't he pretty funny?) -- nm - Fednog Dec 16, 08:58 12
  - No. He isn't. Not even a little. He's a racist hate-mongering homophobic bigot whose act is nothing but offensive stereotypes. - Cuzzin Todd Dec 16, 09:07
  - "ventriloquist" and "funny" don't even live on the same continent! -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 09:01 3
    - And he isn't even very good at the technical aspects of being a ventriloquist. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 16, 09:08
    - unless "brutal beating death" is in there. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 09:01 1

      - Jon Stewart. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 09:09 1
        
        oh right, i meant to include jon stewart and colbert -- nm - Fednog Dec 16, 09:11
      - Generally comedians are people you laugh with, not at. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 16, 09:07
  - He was funny until he got his own weekly show and then he seriously brought the un-funny. -- nm - Jim Dec 16, 08:59 1
    - He simply Comedy Central's latest posterboy popular punching bag. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 09:08
- Wel' -- nm - Jim Dec 16, 08:57 8
  - We'll have to agree to disagree then. I'm with Hunting. Put them all in identical cars, so you can really see who's the best, and I could be down. -- nm - Jim Dec 16, 08:58 6
    - Should all tennis players use the same racket? Should all baseball players use the same bat? (nm) - musubi, Super Programmer! Dec 16, 09:00
    - Aren't they all pretty close to identical? There are minimum and maximum specs for all cars, aren't there? - musubi, Super Programmer! Dec 16, 08:59 1
      - In F1, the disparity can be huge. In Nascar, it's still pretty wide, even within the templated margins allowed. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 09:01
    - All NFL players should wear identical equipment. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 08:59
    - I agree that would be potentially a better sport. - Reagen Dec 16, 08:59 1
      - I don't watch any motorsports either. -- nm - Jim Dec 16, 09:17
  - Retard. -- nm - Christmas VacaShaun Dec 16, 08:57
for me it would depend on who told me about grandma's wishes. there's no way I'd believe two of my uncles or one aunt. -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 08:55 1
- I would tell the uncle, my deceased parent would have wanted his/her share to be given to his/her children. - Loyola Dec 16, 08:57
What is "sport?" How do you define "sport?" -- nm - morpheus Dec 16, 08:54 3
- sex. I win! -- nm - Megan Fox Dec 16, 08:55 2

    - ::awards Megan Fox a white ribbon:: -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 08:57
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't F1 have both left and right turns? It's Nascar that only has left turns, correct? - musubi, Super Programmer! Dec 16, 08:54 3
- I was going for the Sweet Daddy D reply there. Yes, they turn both ways in F1. -- nm - Jim Dec 16, 08:57
- Only? no. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 08:55
