I thought that was Fred Dalton Thompson's gig???

Is he short of money or something? :confused:

I once saw Henry Winkler at a Ren Faire tripping balls. It was damn amusing.

I don't know what "tripping balls" is, but yeah, it sounds hilarious. Or maybe painful.

Maybe Henry's HAPPY DAYS are a little less Happy now?

From "Space Cowboys" to.......

Getting old is expensive, especially if your earning power diminishes. Shilling is an easy-money gig for aging celebrities.

lsd.

All good but what about their reputation?

Samuels Bet365 gig would be lucrative but surely he could have done better.

Henry W had a recurring role in Parks and Rec as well as Arrested Development.

I don't know much about the goings-on in Hollywood, but I've heard stories that he's a pretty decent fellow.

He was also in Royal Pains for half a dozen or so episodes.

Hmmm... do you think Henry Winkler has "jumped the shark"?

So he had a limited slip deferential? Was it in a 911 or some other Porsche?

Reverse mortgages are very predatory. Older people don't want to lose their homes so they bite. Horrendous up front fees (can be up to $15K- $20K) and a 7 - 8 % interest rate! Talk about usury! If you are putting the bank at risk and buying a home with a normal mortgage the rate is 3-4 %. But if you already own your home and want a reverse mortgage it is double! This is BS. And there is no risk for the lender, they only extend the loan to about half the value of the house.

Better to sell and downsize.

Got it, good joke. :)

There's a sucker born every minute.

Which is why consumers have free will.
We can say yes ...... or we can say no.

For some people reverse mortgages make a great deal of sense.

He's one of the nicest guys I've had a chance to work with (George Clooney runs a close second).

Being a spokesperson is easy money (voice over is the easiest), and it doesn't have the stigma it used to have on ones career. In the olden days they used to have to go to Japan, with a guarantee that the commercials wouldn't air in the US or Europe.

i saw morgan fairchild selling pre-paid funeral services a few nights ago.

You know he had to leave S.H.I.E.D. right?
