    Best Bond Fund

    It really depends on the Bond. If we're talking really old Bond, I'd have to go with "From Russia w/ Love". If it's a newer Bond, probably "Casino Royale". Most of the intermediate Bonds were kind of crappy.

    WSJ article - It's time to rethink the bucket-list

    ......Oh, that bucket-list. I thought I was going to have to re-think my investment strategy.............

    A new (and likeable) cable provider

    If my kids (young adults) and their friends are any kind of barometer for this I don't like Apple's chances. They don't want to pay anything for content. Ron

    Cost-Conscious, Self-Managed Care

    Hell, redduck, I'll bet there are more than just that one. We could turn my grammatical errors into a drinking game! I just hope the moderators don't start charging for all my mistakes. I'll have to go back to work.:(

    Cost-Conscious, Self-Managed Care

    Well, I wasn't. And since that was not my intent I won't argue the point. You really should go back and read what I said. I know you are upset that I used the words "Obama Care" but your comments have little to do with my posts. Nothing, actually. To clarify what I said in comment #57...

    Cost-Conscious, Self-Managed Care

    Well, it certainly wasn't my intention to cause anyone pain with my comment. But it is certainly foolish to not recognize that the entire landscape of health care and the ensuing payment for such has not changed significantly. As I worked for the last three decades I understand the payment of...

    Cost-Conscious, Self-Managed Care

    I don't disagree with your main point. Tort reform needs to be an important part of this. But the doctor has insurance for errors he makes or is alleged to have made. That young woman should not be out of pocket 5k because the doctor wanted to "CYA". Honestly, I'm inclined to believe that...

    Driving RV to Baja

    You make some very good points. No question. The firearm stat was a nice zing. I'm not taking that bait except to say associating "typical" crime statistics with singular catastrophic terrorist events seems to mix the fruits and nuts a little. I know, you did say later you wouldn't highlight...

    Driving RV to Baja

    First, the bad thing about a forum is it seems like arguing with the back and forth. I hope you don't take it that way. I've read this forum for years and have enjoyed your posts........Having said that, let's get it on. ;D With the exception of this line in your post ".....all European...

    Driving RV to Baja

    I was simply pointing out that a question/comment about safe travel was not out of line considering our own government provides a warning about travel to Mexico. You may be right that it is not as bad as it looks. I stand by my statement that the military must request permission to travel...

    Driving RV to Baja

    The negative sentiments you are deriding have some legitimacy. Our own government has issued a travel warning for Mexico. And members of our armed forces aren't allowed to travel to Mexico without permission. The services seem to view this country as being "at war" (my opinion)...

    HR and workouts

    ....Um...I'll take a shot at this. Because genetics play no part in fiscal responsibility. How many people have you known, or heard of, that were very health conscious and died at 59? Or led a less than exemplary life and lived to be 101? It's just the great unknown. I mean, good god, how...
