I don't know what the answer is either, but I think this article does a fair job of at least identifying some of the problems.

Wow! I have no problem with recreational drug use and, in fact, it can be a lot of fun....but no f*%^ing way would I ever use meth. These friggin' people are nuts.

Some goofy friggin advice in this thread and some that is decent. I am not, and never have been, the jealous type. My attitude has always been, if she can do better...go for it. That means I can do better as well. Its all about your own self-confidence. Feel good about yourself, you are banging a real hot chick (according to you, a pic would verify). She seems to want/need the attention of others...so what. Don't make an issue out of it, she may be just trying to get a rise out out of you/push your buttons/ or test your self-confidence. I have no idea since I don't know the girl. I know that women find people who are confident in themselves (not !@#$-type cocky, but confident) to be sexy. I also would not want to be best buddies with her guy friends from work/guys hitting on her in the bar etc. Hot girls don't get hit on randomly as much as you think, their looks intimidate most guys. Thats why many hot chicks end up with uglier guys, the ugly guy showed enough confidence to hit on them (either that or a fat wallet). Man up & be confident. Ignore the bull and you will be better off.

An pseudo-ex (we only dated/hooked up for a few months) of mine used to date Brian Giles while he played for the Bisons.

I sold three apartments via Craigslist, still have never paid paid a broker's commission in my life. I love Craigslist.

Simple version... Madoff claimed he was investing money for clients. Madoff earned about 10% a year for his clients, good year or bad, didn't matter. Madoff was one of the founders and former chair of NASDAQ, had an impeccable rep. Turns out, Madoff only recycled the money, never invested it. He used new money to pay off old dets, had to keep getting new (and more) money into the scheme. Once too many clients asked for their moeny back (because of the market crash last fall), the game was up.

Really? I heard that the sales tax in NYC is scheduled to be raised and is being held up by this. For that, I'm grateful.

Yep, she is the hottest thing going right now, bar none. My son has just gotten into Transformers. We were in Best Buy a few months ago and it was playing on the TV. He was mezmorized. I asked him if he wanted the movie...of course! He can watch as often as he wants and Dad will join him. Of course, I have not yet explained why Dad's tongue falls out of his mouth for certain scenes...

Look on the bright side...while they are not in session, they can't raise your taxes!

Quoted for truth.

True, but depending upon the industry you want to work in, pedigree can be very important.

And just wait till cap-and-trade goes into effect and you end up paying much more for utilities, as costs associated with this program are passed to the consumer. And, about that value added tax...you know to get Americans saving again, anyone ready to pay a 20% tax on any consumable item they purchase? The blurbs regarding taxes that I have been hearing/reading about are pretty scary.

Thanks for the recon. McFaddens had a book signing with Marv a few years back that was a blast. They should do some more of this stuff.

Yep. Mine was a 1987 Cav convertible. It was red, with red interior. Very cool. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/chevrolet-cavalier6.htm

End thread. Can't be said better.

Thank you, hopefully I won't have to mention it again for quite a long time!

Thanks, I'll remember that.

Wow...$134.5 billion in US notes! That would buy a lot of hookers! http://www.asianews.it/index.php?l=en&...5456&size=A http://market-ticker.org/archives/1114-Smu...t-Printing.html

Totally class act...from the Twitter link...

My grandfather passed away a few years ago. He was a Marine in the Pacific during WWII, fought at Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal etc. When he passed away, my uncle arranged for the full honors just as you described...21 gun salute, bugler etc. at the cemetary. It was really moving and gave me chills...still does when I think about it. Pretty wonderful thing you guys do for fellow Marines when they pass away, even 40+ years after they have served. As an aside, how would one go about arranging for that? My father was a Marine in Vietnam and saw combat. He is very fit and healthy right now, but in the future (hopefully very distant future), when something happens, I would like him to be buried with the same honors. Who would you contact to arrange something like that? He still lives in WNY.

Why have the "illiquid" assets not been taken off the banks balance sheets?

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women." Good for him.

Two weeks...if they are lucky! Try two months. And, oh, BTW...that saving account you had, FDIC insured...well the FDIC is now broke and the bank went under, so good luck accessing your savings. Correct, you're not buying a damn thing cause you have no money and no access to money. Hope you have some cash in the house, cause thats all you have to buy the basics before the supply chain dries up because various components on the chain have not gotten paid.
