    High impact sports - how badly do you pay the price?

    Wow, lots of cautionary tales. I think I'm going to drop the football now, and try and wean myself off the ball hockey over the next few years, and replace them with lower impact sports. I'm only 155 lbs with good muscle strength, so my own body isn't putting a great deal of stress on itself...

    Cheap flights to Athens, Greece?

    Hi everyone. We are planning to head to Greece this September, and are trying to figure out the cheapest way to get there. Doesn't have to be a direct flight. A cheap flight to any European country, followed by a short jump on a trans-European budget airline would work as well. Any suggestions...
