a bittersweet year best: finding my dad after a long search and visiting with him for the first time in 15 years and getting my brother & father together for the first time in 36 years and by all that facilitating my father's recent visit with his grandchildren for the very first time in their...

how interesting. someone who doesn't trust a guy who isn't being shifty.

i thought i read somewhere that shiller, or maybe it was roubini, predicts housing down 37% nationwide. ah, when it was down only 37%, i remember that, the good ol' days.

i don't know wines and hardly ever drink them as they make me sleepy but years ago i used to enjoy a zinfandel from sutter home. very cheap, supermarket stuff that sounds like a condominium developer but i thought it was pretty good. certainly better than the boonesfarm i guzzled in youth.

of her many incredibly crooned numbers, eartha kitt sang one of my uncle's songs which he wrote during the depression, inspired by one of my uncle's sisters. it is recorded on one of her many "best of eartha kitt" albums. happens to be one of the songs i recently purchased for the digital frame...

that's some story alan. just a few weeks back, tv news ran a similar story about an extended family employed entirely by the auto industry. not to be sophomoric, but oddly to the point would be that diversification applies to all aspects of economy, from a portfolio, to a one horse town, maybe...

true enough for me as i'm happy with food and shelter. but not to the madoff victim who slashed his wrists. he was probably down to his last few million. this is a nondiscriminating poll. thanx for sharing the distinction. do you experience any loss of a sense of accomplishment in that...

in the garden late yesterday i got a little upset because i found feather remains of a bird and i was afraid that an unleashed neighborhood cat ate odo. but just now i was delighted to find that odo lives. (possibly he doesn't eat just insects?) i'm still amazed how he blends into the garden...

my judgmental response conformed precisely to the op's direct request for "judgmental feedback" (though i suspected misuse of the word judgmental--i wasn't making fun; i was just playing along) in judging the use of the variant spelling theatre instead of theater as being haughty, or, perhaps...

ladel, at least your guys are making fun of themselves. our idiots take themselves seriously.

& a distinction being that, aside from surface interaction, it doesn’t matter as much, with regard to the wellspring of morality, what your action is perceived as doing to a third person or what that person might actually do to you. (though some might argue this as more to the realm of...

you're very welcome walkin. will check through your site as well. i like econtalk's pbs-esque interviewer and how they take time to delve into a subject. don't know if anyone noticed but the've got two berstein interviews in there. anybody have other good online resources for learning about...

ok ok ok, i'm buying (just as soon as it drops another 30%)

where morality refers to correct conduct, and where the ultimately successful human experience is understanding the self, the examined life, then superior morality reflects in behavior which leads to knowing true self. behavior which hides your true self from yourself or which denies or inhibits...

you've spent years earning (working for) a living and now you've watched a good portion of your hard won earnings quickly die. you worked for 20 or 30 years or more to save and invest and then lost 10 years of good gains overnight. which caused more anxiety? which provided more satisfaction...
