Steph Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 So, I'm trying to eat something substantial for the first time in days and I choose to make a hamburger. As I wash up after making the patty, the bandaid on my hand is loosened, and I figure after you handle raw meat that's probably a good time to change your bandaid anyway .... So I rip it the rest of the way off. And lose a chunk of live skin from my palm. *happy happy joy joy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hope it didn't go into the ground beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 No ... it stayed on the bandaid, and then went into the trash. A hunk of me into the trash. Then the hole was covered up by a new bandaid and I posted a whine on facebook before I eventually went back to check to see if my food was burning.

Steph Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Pieces of me falling off. And the thermometer gave me a reading of 94-point-something a couple of days ago. I have to consider the possibility that I am a zombie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Me too. At the moment I'm guzzling Alka Seltzer Plus Cold & Flu, cherry flavor. You sound temporarily snakebit, Steph. This too shall pass. At least that's what my friends tell me when I'm experiencing the same kind of [i don't know what to call it] you are now . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 They may be a lot smarter than we think. Now if they would use those brains to help everyone and not just big business and rich folks we would be on to something. The most recent pay adjustment for Members of Congress was in January 2009.1 Since then, the compensation for most Senators, Representatives, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico has been $174,000. Each Senator is authorized $40,000 for state office furniture and furnishings for one or mor Permissible “outside earned income” for Representatives and Senators is limited to 15% of the annual rate of basic pay for level II of the Executive Schedule (15% of $181,500, or $27,225 in 2014). Members Representational Allowances The MRA for each Representative is calculated based on three components, including • personnel, which is the same for each Member ($944,671 for each Member in 2014); • official The SOPOEA for each Senator is calculated based on three components, including • the administrative and clerical assistance allowance, which varies by state population. The preliminary figures in the FY2015 Senate report (S.Rept. 113- 196) show this allowance varies from $2,385,439 for a Senator representing a state with a population under 5 million to $3,791,151 for a Senator representing a state with a population of 28 million or more;27 • the legislative assistance allowance, which is the same for all Senators. According to the FY2015 Senate report (S.Rept. 113-196), the legislative assistance component of the SOPOEA is $477,874;28 and • the official office expense allowance, which varies by state depending on the distance between Washington, DC, and the home state, the population of the state, and the official (franked) mail allocation. According to S.Rept. 113-196, the FY2015 office expense allowance component ranges from $121,120 to $453,274. And retirement and medical benefits are not too bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
