I did great today with my food. In fact, I may be too good at this point.

So yes, this seems low. But I also had 1 and 1/2 pieces of fudge and 2 fun size Heath bars. I think that with those calories I’m more in the 1400 range.
Run
Did 5 miles on the treadmill. Was going to do them slow at 5 mph, but just couldn’t resist bumping it up. Ended up doing it in like 53 minutes instead of 60. Tomorrow, I’m biking and running the triathlon course with my friend who is also doing the triathlon.
Litigate
I discovered today that there is a statute in Indiana that requires people to support their parents if they become incapable of supporting themselves, the child is financially capable (I’d be interested to know what that actually meant) and assuming the parents supported the child until the child was 16. Although I would care for my parents if they became incapable of doing so themselves I think it is ridiculous to have such a statue. Just a random discovery while working today.
So this is my proposed new format. I have some ideas for nifty graphics to use in there but those are going to take some work, so for now this will work. The thought I had yesterday was to break it up into three daily posts, but given that I can hardly post once a day I think this will have to do. What do you think?
I like your new format very much… especially the addition of the Litigate section. Mostly because I'm quite the nerdy, lawyerly type myself.
Love the new format!! I think the statute is strange. I would also support my parents no matter what, but what about people who had bad parents? People who's parents were on drugs? People who's parents beat them? Would they, too, be required to support their parents? I guess in Indiana, they would. That isn't fair.
Glad you all like the new format
Nicole — I was curious of the same so I read the annotated version of the statute. Interestingly no case law on the statute since 1969. And it seems like federal statutes regarding medicaid and food stamps don't permit recovery from children for funds expended so the only entity that could recover if they had to support the parents would be the state and I'm not sure how much state assistance there is any more that isn't in some way subsidized by the federal government. I have a feeling that although the statute is still on the books it isn't actually enforceable these days (it also requires that the parents are unable to provide for themselves which I imagine means they must seek out assistance where possible before seeking out the assistance of their children).
