The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

I just joined in 2017, but I got acorns in the original offer. I don't want to be a hog!

Is that average, above average, or below average, Dave? It looks like a lot of tickets sold.

@dave, just wondering, do you and your family sit and cut out little pieces of paper for each ticket purchased?

No, I actually have software that I have written that randomly generates the winners. For the purposes of transparency, I actually posted the code for it some time ago. I can't remember where but it was in a thread attached to one of the previous raffles.

I'm glad to hear it! I can't imagine how much time would go into doing it otherwise.
