Here is a most intresting article on some issues facing some folks in the coming months. Home short-sellers may face painful taxes Home short-sellers may face painful taxes | Real Estate News | eastvalleytribune.com

Consumers are not savy consumers directly related to subsidy by insurers or subsidy by gov't Drug costs R&D subsidized by US Breakdown of family unit feeling responsible to assist elders Ignorance of common sense in new parents Direct drug advertising to consumers who demand latest and...

One of the biggies here is that we in the US pay what percentage of drug R&D? We subsidize the entire worlds costs. Does that really seem right? We can't import drugs legally and pay as much as 4 times the other industrialized nations. Why is that the way? As it has been written about, the...

Check out for a few days with a basic pad of paper and a pencil, draw a line down the middle of it and label them Pro's and Con's. After a few days without others noise the answer should be clear and if not then flip a coin. Take some time once decision is made to mentally try it on. Even...

I gave up on live trees the year my daughter went into the hospital for a week after putting up the tree with an asthma attack. On New Years when I took it down she went back for another week. It was enough real tree for me when she was only three. My son and I just finished putting up a 16...

I am in the more than one category for vaious reasons mentioned as well as investment strategy. It is easier with two to have one in stocks and the other in bonds/cd's. I tend to monitor and trade the stocks, ETF's and ignore the other. It is lest mind confusion to have seperated even though...

I truly doubt if you need or want my pity, rather I admire what you have done. If the market slide had continued I would have been evaluating my options as well. I frankly do not want to go back to work but do find that the better option to gaming the system. Congrats to you for having a...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :coolsmiley:;)

It's one thing to want a piece of the Obama pie and quite another for those who will not get any that I pity. If this "what can I get philosophy of greed and screw your neighbor" continues, we may become a nation of oldsters very quickly as our youth immigrate away from a debt load that is...
