    Black Licorice benefits? Where to purchase?

    I like black licorice made by Panda. You can get it at Trader Joe's. I'm pretty sure I've seen it at drug stores like Long's and Walgreens. I like it because it has a good strong licorice flavor.

    Grills portable help

    I have the Weber Baby Q and love it. Have had it for over a year. It's easy to transport. Easy to clean. We live in an apartment and have a small balcony so the Baby Q is the right size for us.

    Millionaires: do they pay off their mortgages?

    We sold our condo 1.5 years ago and are currently renting. We will probably be buying a home this year and have been talking about putting a large down payment and mortgage the remainder. It really comes down to where we buy and the price of the housing market.

    Optimum house size for early retirees in the USA

    free4now, yes it is FC. It is totally different from the City. We still visit friends there, so we do get our City fix. I was born in SF but have always been a small town girl at heart, so it was nice to move out. Actually, we have been busier and meeting more people in FC than when we lived in...
