What could happen to you: tales of big lottery winners
Fri May 17, 2013
- Winning the lottery does not mean that you will suddenly become finance savvy. If someone who manages their finances well wins, they are likely to continue to manage their finances well. If someone who can't get their finances together wins, they are likely to blow the money. Money can't buy intelli …
Opt out or left out? The economics of stay-at-home moms
Fri May 10, 2013
- When our son was young, we both worked... different shifts... he wasn't dumped in day care and he wasn't a latch key kid either... Family time during the week really didn't exist... but, we made the most of the time we had on weekends and holidays... you can make it work... but, you do have to make …
U.S fliers believe obese should buy second seat
Mon Apr 22, 2013
- It's simple math, folks... Charging by weight (passenger + luggage) makes the most sense and is the most fair. It takes the same amount of fuel to transport someone who is 6'8" weighing 300 lbs. as it does to transport someone who is 4'10" weighing 300 lbs. Give every passenger a weight allowance fo …
Italy court: Amanda Knox to be retried for Meredith Kercher murder
Tue Mar 26, 2013
- Guess the Italian courts don't have rules against double jeopardy... Just keep trying people until you get the verdict you want... guilty... If the Italian courts insist that the US return her, then it should be done so with the understanding that current and former Italian citizens are not protecte …
Can you still eat that, or should you throw it out?
Sun Mar 24, 2013
- Test eggs this way... Fill a deep bowl with cold water. Gently place the "expired" eggs in the bowl. The ones that sink to the bottom are just fine. Throw away the ones that float.
CVS to workers: Tell us how much you weigh or it'll cost you $600 a year
Wed Mar 20, 2013
- Well, CVS can scratch me off their list as a customer. I used (past tense) always go there as my pharmacy of choice... no longer. Walgreens and RiteAid are both within 1/4 mile of the CVS. I will take my business else where... Also, what's next? Questions about your sex life? Whether or not you use …
Poverty in America: A problem hidden 'In Plain Sight'
Mon Mar 4, 2013
- The reason we have some much poverty in America is that we have made being poor too easy and comfortable. We give the poor free medical care (Medicaid), free food (food stamps) with no restrictions on what they purchase (lobster, steaks,etc.), subsidizied housing, and free money with no restrictions …
They bailed on mortgage, but now want to buy again
Fri Feb 22, 2013
- Anyone who walked away from their previous mortgage should NOT be able to secure a new mortgage. Everyone who walked away ultimately shifted their financial burden to everyone else. We need to bring back debtors' prisons for people who have the financial means to payoff their debts, but choose not t …
Job seekers ask: Where has all the courtesy gone?
Wed Feb 20, 2013
- While I can understand how a company may not be able to follow up with every applicant, there is no accuse for not following up with a candidate who was interviewed, either in person or over the phone. I interviewed with a large, national bank back in the fall. There were a total of three interviews …
Wait a minute, Mr. Postman: New mail delivery schedule raises eyebrows
Wed Feb 6, 2013
- Honestly... whining about not getting mail on Saturday... These "adults" need to grow up... Stop behaving like children... It's like having a standing schedule with a five-year-old to go out for ice cream every Saturday night and something changed and now you need to change it to Monday night instea …
