Re: Filial Responsibility Laws

Some times this scares me to hell.

My grandfather was nearly 76 when care at home wasn´t possible any more.
He never overspend in his whole life. The opposite is true as he went to the nursing home he had over 150k, a self build home and a solid pension on his net worth. It took just 8 years until ...

Re: Tesla Cars

I hold a handful stocks since june. Put in an Trailing SL.
My motivation to buy was that they paid back their federal credit early.

The only thing I regret so far :lol: : I didn´t buy them 2 years ago when I first thought about buying some. :(

Just want to give you one tip if you´re starting to run barefoot. Don´t go on asphalt!!!! You could hurt your feet real bad. Start slow, best on some lawn or on forest soil.
