My 6 year old son fell here in our home late into the night a few months ago. My husband took him to the emergency room where the attending physician didn't believe he needed stiches but instead used a special type of glue and put a bandage on it. The cut was small, under the chin. The bil...

I went to take my son to get the H1N1 vaccine because he has a chronic medical condition that makes him top priority, and while there the nurse asked me and my husband,..."why aren't you two getting vaccinated today?"...I said, "we don't have any chronic condition"...she told us it didn't matter...

Welcome to the club!!!!!!!!!!! Feels soooooooooo good, doesn't it?....congrats!

I read(I think yesterday) an article in the Market Watch website where Buffet writes that we may see inflation similar to the late 1970s. I am in agreement with Buffet but the problem is the "when" can we expect such scenario. For the time being, others are screaming "DEFLATION".....perhaps...

Ohhhhh how the pendulum swings! We have really gone from one extreme to another. Now we have to be Bill Gates to buy a second home? The OP sounds like "gold standard" to me. This is the kind of people you should "want" to lend to. This is absolute nonsense! The problem now is that the...

I think that Audrey hit the hamer on the nail. I concure with her that we will see a lot of bartering. In 2001, I went to Argentina when the sh*t "yet again" hit the fan when the "temporary" president decided to not pay off its debt and created the first largest world debt default. Well, I...

Well, the poster of this thread mentions that he is reading the book The Long Emergency, and I do believe that his concern may derive from his reading. You talk about the 81-82 recession being more severe than the current one. But what we didn't have in 81-82 was Peak Oil. I didn't live in...

wow, if this continues to go up Dawg54 will be able to afford those happy pills he keeps popping.;D

$50 for a pair of Lucky Brand jeans?.....wow!! I'm glad I buy my Lucky Brands at Goodwill. I just bought me two pairs and one Gap at $5 each. Whatever we are having/or will have is affecting me little as I have prepared for such a time like this(you have to when you were born in a country...

I've been following a semi vegetarian diet for the past five months. The only meat source I've been eating is fish....mostly salmon. The first month was extremely hard! I can tell you that this has really made a big difference in every way. I'm slimmer...especially around the waist, more...

If those girls are pretty, then I'm playboy material. Roubini should go ahead and enjoy his 15 minutes of fame while the gloom lasts......but if his thing is "the one night thing", he has to get his eyes checked before choosing his women.

Perhaps this is a "fluke", but I think that the "race" for the cure will have many researchers willing to test more patients to classify this case as a mere fluke or not. Now if this turns out to work, we will be talking about a CURE....I mean we hear of "treatments" to control and manage many...

I'm holding and staying put!!!...I have not let my shaking knees take over what I know for sure ...and that is that the best time to stay put and keep buying is when there is blood on the streets....and Lord knows that this patient is in need of some tranfusions. Just in case, I've put on my...

Well I'm glad I was right Coach! I like this kid...he has potential. He works two jobs(one full time and a part time job during the weekend). He's also very cautious with his money and from what I see he has mastered the art of LBYM. I've talked to him about the benefits of an IRA so that he can...

My coworker's son has been living out on his own for a year now(he's 24 year old), and recently he told me that he has $20,000. in an emergency fund(regular Money market account). I asked him what kind of retirement account(s) he was funding...answer...none. His job does not offer a 401K plan...
