Big Lie: America Doesn't Have #1 Richest Middle-Class in the World...We're Ran,
Ceffer said:
Has to be something unspoken in the stats there when we are just below Kuwait, which is 26th.
The article is hysterical liberalism, but many of the points are well taken anyway.
We need to boost our middle class, not enslave them with debt, and reduce the influence of financial-i-zation and wealth segregation in or system, or there will be rebellion.
Points out to me that Americans are consumers rather than savers. Whether they CAN save or not is a matter of opinion. I see a lot of monster trucks and Hummers, can't imagine why anybody would want one of those. A working class guy at a service station told me his egregious tricked out Hummer got 10 miles to the gallon, that's just plain stupid.

Personal question...Anyone have experience with tendon repair?,
Ceffer said:
Pain=month, diminishing over six weeks. The foot, unfortunately, has the largest representation in the cortex of any body part, and holds swelling more due to lower circulatory clearance, so tends toward more pain. Tendons don't hurt that much, but tendon sheaths do. After the pain, itch.
Basic healing=6 months, but take it easy, it is not done.
90 percent healing and function= one year
The body recycles itself every 6 months or so, two full cycles for real healing after surgery, no matter what the surgeon says. Most surgeons tend to shine people on by telling them they will be good as new a lot sooner than they will.
To some extent, individual variations, youth, good healing capacity, or their inverses might somewhat accelerate or decelerate this process.

Super Duper Burger,
Ceffer said:
The internet was ripe to use as a tool for extortion, blackmail and misdirection. The so-called "consumer" critic sites give targeted businesses an option in a not so subtle manner to undo bad reviews if you give them "advertising" revenue, and it is also possible to "pack the house" with good reviews that are fake.
They are protected by the allegation that they act as a conduit for "anonymous" consumer opinion (libel) under color of free speech.
Ethical individuals can suffer from this kind of reporting and dirtbags can be helped, but who cares about the collateral damage as long as the sites can make money.
Because lawyers and judges are becoming increasingly targeted themselves this way, maybe something will be done eventually, but not because they care about the rest of us.

Celebrating Life: I Got Married on Friday,
Ceffer said:
It's nice Mish found a relationship.
Most women consider men a "demolition project with potential", so I always wonder what happens when the demolition starts.
Seems like a lot of manic travel and spending, I also wonder what quiet time at home for prolonged periods might yield.
Anyway, most new relationships start with optimism and end with whatever, nobody can predict the future.
I knew a guy with an October marriage that everybody advised against. As long as there were trips, hotels, restaurants, an owned home and a second rented home on the beach, four leased cars and lots of spending, everything was great. She got him to pay for 45K in plastic surgery.
She convinced him his daughters were plotting against him, and to sign his only owned home over in her name. His professional license went on the skids, the cash flow dried up, she divorced him and kept the home he signed over in her name. He wound up living in a small rented apartment with no assets in old age, trying to reinstate his profession. - On 16 Jun 2013

Am I simply getting older or does a lot of new pop music suck?,
Ceffer said:
Most of what passes for music is about rapidly changing channels on the radio over and over again, something to match the hyperactive, fast food information age.
Vinyl records are nice because they sound great and make you stop long enough to actually participate and listen to the music again, no remote control or touch pad to whirr through the experience and leave it rapidly in the rear view mirror.

It is not about the nail,
Ceffer said:
Well, with women, I have noticed that for every solution, there is an equal and opposite anti-solution that they prefer to pursue as often as not.
Evolutionary naturalists postulate that the human female's evolutionary strategy is to keep the male in a perpetual state of confusion and disequilibrium so that she retains her options to cuckold him with genetically more desirable specimens than the stale old breadwinner.
If that is indeed the strategy, I have to admit it works.

Revolving Door Summary,
Ceffer said:
How else do you think Congress and regulatory agents are "captured"?
When conflict of interest becomes the main order of business in the government and the law, as it routinely now exists, there are no politicians "serving the public interest" , unless as a token charade for the campaign trail.

Drunk Driver Was Having Sex Before Crash,
Ceffer said:
He's already passed the character test for politicians. Clean him up, teach him to read from a teleprompter and give him a fake history and we could have our next President.
It was a neat trick flinging the naked girl from the car so he could deny she was ever there. He must have taken Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick home study primer.

Elliemae's Dog's Obituary,
Ceffer said:
I'm facing the same terrible decision in the next year or two. I think a lot of dogs continue to live and suffer more as a last effort to please their masters than of their own desire to live.
I have decided that I don't want my little one to suffer any more than necessary. I was never a dog person, we had four so far, but the last one finally captured my heart.
Our last one to go was a walking champion, he would walk to the ends of earth with us with a wagging tail the whole way and never quit.
When we saw him at the doorway when we took him out the last time and the look in his eyes told us "I just can't do it any more, I am sorry", we knew it was time for his spirit to go.

Latest Insanity in Palo Alto Housing Market,

West Coast mystique is worth a lot more than a measly 2.8 million. You are sued by a much wealthier and higher class of people on the Peninsula, a privilege that in and of itself is invaluable.

Would You Marry a Realtor? How About Have Sex with a Realtor?,
Ceffer said:
Female real estate agents have a reverse proboscis that liquifies your intestines and shleps your gold dental work.
During sex, a doglike penis captivus immobilizes the victim, and the sharp proboscis emerges and goes to work.
Their husbands are usually loyal eunuchs, so they are safe.
Better just to stick with the BJ at closing.

Is it ethical to take advantage of a Los Altos open house like this?,
Ceffer said:
Paris does kind of look like a tranny. She'll have to braise her naked biscuit live on national TV a few more times to exonerate herself.
There's a movie remake of "House of Wax" in which her character is skewered,
part of the Victorian Imperative of the teen slasher genre. They probably gave her an eight ball to snort to get those tears.

Is it ethical to take advantage of a Los Altos open house like this?,
Ceffer said:
They should have bukake open houses, where the supplicant buyers endure multiple emissions and a panel of judges awards the contract.
The husbands should be forced to wear dog collars and open ass jodhpurs and run around on all fours barking while their wives perform.
After all, it is a seller's market and the real estate will double in a year, what better excuse to whore oneself?

Why Aren't the 50% Living in Poverty Protesting in the Streets?,
Ceffer said:
That's probably true. People tend to identify with their perceived peer group and their relative position in it.
A study once asked a group of Harvard graduates if they would accept a certain amount (let's say 100,000 dollars a year for life) as long as their peer graduates got (let's say130,000 for life), or would they rather have (let's say 80,000 for life) as long a their peer graduates got only (let's say 50,000 for life, I don't have the exact figures). The majority chose to get less as long as their peers got even less than they did.
Status and wealthy perception are often relative within groups. If you think you are doing all right compared to your friends/relatives, you probably will not be that unhappy with what you have.
Class warfare is usually more about your own class and your attempt to do better than about a pie in the sky class you don't identify with.
There were actually people in poor communities during the Great Depression who thought they had happy childhoods, because everybody they knew was poor but they had a positive sense of community. They didn't even know they were poor until they went to cities to see that there were actually very wealthy people, and the poor there were treated badly.

Would You Burglarize Extremely Wealthy Mansions? And How?,
Ceffer said:
I think the average cockroach peasant is ill equipped to rob the manse of a richfuck.
It is far more likely that one of the richfuck's peer sociopaths would rob them, no honor amongst thieves, so to speak.
The social peer would know the layout, the value of the stuff, and where to unload it, whereas the cockroach peasant would just pedal it like an idiot and get caught.
The cockroach peasants exist for a reason, to give the richfucks the sensation that they are superior to the vermin, they serve no other purpose except to exploit and do demeaning labor.

Would You Burglarize Extremely Wealthy Mansions? And How?,
Ceffer said:
Most people actually live in about 1500 sq. ft., or even less, no matter what the size and opulence of their residences, the rest is just overkill and/or display.
I remember visiting a house in Pacific Heights, multiple stories on the hillside, huge view windows of the Golden Gate bridge. The woman and her daughters basically lived in a room on the street entry level with two German shepherds, between there and the kitchen, and the bedrooms where they slept. When I mentioned the great view, she just waved her hand and said they were nice but she never went over there.
Later, after she passed a way, one of her daughters still lived there, and bought a place across the street for her main housekeeper and help to live in.
When I was in L.A. for school, I rode my bike down Sunset Boulevard to a place where a woman was renting a room in her egregious mansion because her sons left and she wanted somebody in the room. The son's rooms weren't that big, pretty straightforward. The place was enormous, but was just basically several different furnished living rooms and large bathrooms one after the other. I was intimidated by the wealth and decided I wouldn't be comfortable coming and going there, she was obviously somebody in show biz loaded to the gills but I didn't recognize her, she was quite beautiful.

After a few donations of the bodily fluid kind from the denizen pervs, they might change their minds, but they don't look like they are interested in men.

How Prop 13 has hurt California,
Ceffer said:
Prop 13 was distorted at its inception by allowing certain commercial businesses to use it, and further, by prop 193 that allows the tax breaks to be inherited/passed on the children as part of the estate.
Actually you are thinking of Prop 58 which covers exclusions from reassessment in parent to child transfers. Prop 193 covers grandparent to grandchild transfer exclusions. Prop 193 is only applicable in cases where the parents of the grandchildren have died and cannot receive the property.
Yowsa, thank you.
