    Social Security, or is it?

    That's the ideal, but of course the majority of people aren't doing it. Hence the over-reliance on SS and the great urge to fix it. If people were happy with a decrease in benefits this whole argument would be moot. But not sure what that works out to be (when SS can only pay something like...

    D&D: Palace of the Silver Princess

    Well, the town is still disorganized from the loss of communications with their leaders and the roving packs of monsters wandering around, but with all your leftover gold, you can get 3 healing potions.

    Social Security, or is it?

    Just a quick note, it wasn't meant to be a "retirement plan" either, in the sense that you can live solely on SS when you retire. It was just meant to supplement your retirement - keep you out of "poverty" (however "poverty" may be defined). I don't think the Democrats are arguing that it's...

    What exactly do you mean by "print to demand"?

    Social Security, or is it?

    I don't know about "less and less". The amount adjusted is dependent on a separate formula from another government agency (of which both names I forget right now which is obviously not helpful :) ). I think it might be tied with the nation's GNP growth but not sure. It is the basic idea...

    A little vacation

    Just letting y'all know I'll be gone from 3/15 to 3/22. I think TomB will be looking after the front page. In the meantime, have fun and don't break the place! ;)

    The Question Game!

    Usually 5 or 6... way too few. How much is gas in your areas?

    Survivor: Palau

    Yeah, he said in his interview that it took months to heal, but of course you don't really know that when you're on the show and need to make a decision (although I think he said that when asked also when he was on the show because he knew his ankle and how long it took to heal last time)...

    Amazing Race 7

    Yep, just saw the episode last night. I don't want Amber and Rob to win, but definitely admire their (mostly his it sounds like) tactics. Questioning the schedule, bribing the driver to not open the rear doors, pocketing his own money so his "alliance" partners pay for the bribe... all of it's...

    D&D: Palace of the Silver Princess

    (All right, you guys are rested and healed and have a new member to the party. Whatcha doing now? Also, I will be gone from 3/15 to 3/22 so there will be a slight pause in the game dueing that time although feel free to role-play amongst yourselves if you so desire :) )

    How rare are magiccards?

    I only remember that policy for Fallen Empires, where of course demand was so great that there was a glut for the longest time. After that, I think they reverted back to a print run. Nightstalkers: At least for Suitcase, I don't think the info is now available. It's currently in version 8...

    Man in the Mirror

    I honestly don't know if he has that skin disease or not, but the plastic surgery was a bad idea. Music-wise, I stopped listening after Thriller. I liked the singles that came out of the other two albums that CO mentioned, but haven't listened to the whole thing. I don't think he's in the...
