Re: $200/hour - 8 days ago
Back in the late 80's I used to charge $275/hr for freelance work (2 hr minimum) but that was on location time and usually involved an equal amount of time away from the job which was not billed (so $275 actually is $140). Then there were my expenses which came directly from my gross and usually amounted to 20% of any job (so $140 is really $112). Then as Z said the work wasn't 40/hrs a week - Iby Ombligo - Tips and Deals

I have met two contestants from Kitchen Nightmares, both indicated that Ramsey is far different in person than the TV persona the public sees. Both praised him highly for his helpfulness and humor. You can see his other side in his short series "Gordon's Great Escape" in which he travels to a country, learns about the culture and cuisine and then prepares a meal for it.by Ombligo - Tips and Deals

I had the same thing happen with a student this term. It really makes one realize how fragile life can be.

But just for fun, lets look at the chart and see what other numbers pop out.

QuoteLemon Drop Wish they'd slow down and get it right, we'd be better for it. I fully agree, unfortunately the emphasis is now on get it first, fix it later. The thought process is that getting something up on the web or on the 30-minute cycle quickly is important to gather readers/viewers. Those that get it out first get better numbers.

I worked in a cemetery many many years ago (1982?) and it was a racket even then. The place had a $99 scattering service for ashes.

Then I would drive around the grounds holding a baggie out of the truck window.... I've told my family to buy two concby Ombligo - Tips and Deals
Re: Totally Optional Poll: Refrigerate your eggs, or room temp pantry your eggs? - 15 days ago
Was the chicken that laid them in a refrigerator? If not then those eggs were warm for awhile and nothing went bad. However (and I don't know the answer) just about every egg I've seen fresh laid was hardly the pristine white or brown we see in stores. Do store eggs get a high pressure wash or something? If so, wouldn't that remove the sealing membrane and allow bacteria in through the shell?by Ombligo - Tips and Deals
