    Watching a news story, evidently people do not stop with a flocked christmas tree, you can now purchase a tree in any color you want.

    The story showed a purple tree, kinda triggered my disgust. I might just call the tree farm the story was about and ask them how much to get a green tree. Fatter of fact I should order a Green and Gold tree and have it delivered to my son't house, his viking fan wife would be pissed.

    I wish I was alive for the space race and the Apollo missions. Back then everyone gave a **** about this country.

    I was lucky enough to see a shuttle launch but not a Saturn V

    Burger King impossible burger. I don't understand. If meat disgusts you so much, why do you need a option that looks and supposing tastes like a burger?

    If someone offered me $139,000 cash for a kidney right now I would do it. As long as the procedure isn't done in a bathtub or anything like that.

    Workers Comp pays even better - for an NC worker earning $21/hr and working 40hrs/week that has a workplace accident resulting in the loss of:

    - Any toe other than your big toe = $5,600
    - A pinky finger = $11,200
    - A ring finger = $14,000
    - A big toe = $19,600
    - A middle finger = $22,400 (wayyy under valued for me - this is my most used finger)
    - An index finger = $25,200
    - Hearing in one ear = $39,200
    - A thumb = $42,000
    - An eye = $67,200
    - A foot = $80,640
    - Hearing in both ears = $84,000
    - A Hand = $112,000
    - A leg = $112,000
    - An arm = $134,000
    - A back = $168,000

    The value of your limbs and digits is based on 66.6% of your weekly income multiplied by a number of weeks so your limbs and digits are worth more as your salary goes up. If you are curious what your parts are worth:
