Why not make your own card with the key information, or simply list a phone contact or two as ICE (In Case of Emergency). Then you could give your family member the private information or perhaps the location in a desk folder where the information is securely stored.

Here's a source that lists the GDP of each country and then totals it up to be $74,454,390,250,000.00

Proposed response: "Please don't view my failure to respond to your inquiry as supportive of the level of nonsense you post. Rather, it reflects my utter disdain of your posting frequency, which resulted in blocking your feed months ago."

I think you are OK in a few jurisdictions, including Washington state.

This option also avoids allowing the ap to track your reading habits.

Good approach, but as an exception, if I'm writing to one person but using CC to keep others in the loop I'll often start the body with a salutation as simple as: "John..." That way the other recipients know they are not the target and not expected to respond, but are simply included as informational recipients. Often…

I assume anything I write that is at all related to business, or written on an account that is used for business, will be sought in a legal discovery action. I make sure my language is clear and that I’m not writing upon sensitive ground. If there is something I’d rather the world not know, I make a phone call instead.

I use a printed checklist for all my camping trips (I try to get out in the forest for a solo overnight every week or so). It's a two page list with boxes for check marks. I had it laminated and use a grease pencil to check each item I'm taking with me and leave the others blank. There is space in the upper right to…

I use email almost exclusively, and don't text at all. I have some friends who only text. Interestingly, my emails arrive on their devices as texts, and their texts arrive on my computer as email. The device doesn't matter, but it is important that I understand they are reading my stuff on a small screen, so I keep it…

Look at your calendar. Flip to the page for next month, and then the next month. Keep flipping forward for a few years into the future. Next, rearrange your schedule so that nothing you do on a snow day is important enough to risk all those tomorrows. With that simple life review handled you can be comfortable that…

Asking for a severance package is a reasonable tactic AFTER you have been offered the job, but at mid-level and below it is something to be careful of and to be willing to relinquish pretty quickly.

I'm still using 3.6.24 because of Add-On compatibility. When they release a version that is backward compatible without weird user gyrations I'll upgrade. If that doesn't happen soon, I'll probably just use Chrome more often and let Firefox wither. At this point I'm probably 80% FF and 15% Chrome, but it's getting…

You need to enable Timeline. Go to the following Facebook link: [www.facebook.com] Click on the blue box at the bottom that says "Get Timeline." CAUTION: It's not reversible, so once you click on the blue box, you own it. If you just wonder what it looks like in the real world, you might be able to see my Timeline…

The process of breaking a lease is going to vary depending on the landlord/tenant relationship and the local rental market, but in general, be pleasant and things should work out. Ideally you will be renting from a nice person or a reasonable company, and they, like you, want a comfortable relationship while the…

I would leave the special tip. It sounds like you genuinely appreciate the extra effort of the cleaner, and it would be nice to say so in a financially meaningful way.

I don’t use any of those services, so I don’t give a holiday tip. I do tip regularly through the year, and as a professional fly fishing guide and snowboard instructor I rely on tips from individual lessons, but almost never receive a special seasonal tip (instructors, coaches, and guides that work with the same…

Also consider what the "bank" does with your money. Big national and multi-national banks could be doing good deeds with your hard earned cash, or they could be using it to fund companies, industries, and activities that you wouldn't choose to fund on your own. A small local bank will be much more likely to loan money…

I switched to a credit union about a year ago and have been very happy. I get higher interest on my savings and pay lower interest on my borrowing. I get great personal service from my neighbors, and the money I have in my accounts is invested locally which directly benefits my community. Somebody else complained…

I've done quite a few multi-month road trips on which I mostly live in the car. I appreciate a good laundry stop every few weeks, and seek out places with free internet and a shower. That way I can relax and catch-up on mail etc., and clean up all-around. I suppose the bucket plan would work, but with laundromats so…
