I saw them in-use by airport security recently, I have no idea which airport (Cincinnati?). It sure looked like an efficient and sensible way to traverse a long concourse.

This "down market" is a tremendous opportunity. Sure, things could go terribly wrong next week, but I will again buy more. Each big down-tick causes me to buy, I can't help it, I know that one day soon greed will return. When greed returns (with a vengeance) I will sell equities and buy...

No salad for you! Come back one year! YouTube - Salad Nazi - NO SALAD FOR YOU!

The short answer is NO. Why worry about a little food poisoning? If anyone is freaked then I am quite certain they have never traveled abroad. For crying out loud, life is a risk and getting sick is part of living. If you want perfectly sterile food, then you should eat processed food in a...

Contractor lists from both Lowes and Home Despot are pretty reliable. Better yet, if there is an old mom-n-pop lumber yard in your area... This is a great time to be considering renovation/remodeling, get at least three quotes, there are a lot of capable contractors around without much work...

Nothing special, sleep in and attend a BBQ at Mom's in the afternoon...

Yep, very interesting. The poll's distribution is skewed, I was expecting to see something resembling 'normal'. Wonder what a poll which excludes pensions would show...? Would the lower tail disappear?

I sold a significant chunk (20%) of my port last August and was able to offset the gains by selling what was left of some nearly worthless tech stocks. I've been buying all the way down here recently, including today. I sure could be wrong, but this market looks like a great opportunity...

Have a look at Doug Fine's blog, Author, Journalist, Adventurer, Goat-Herder and his Funky Butte Ranch. A fairly humorous take on living the "simple life".

2Cor, I started a software company with a co-worker, he had described some interesting ideas and I had the programming skills. Do you enjoy being independent and working alone? Knowing what I know now, I would do it alone next time rather than having a partner. Do you enjoy sales? I don't...

Yes, I've cut back on eating out and weekend excursions. Both require gasoline so I'm staying close to home and cooking my own. However, summer vacation plans will not be sacrificed. I have also reduced red meat consumption, normally this time of year I'd be BBQ'ing burgers and steaks every...

Wow, thanks Lazy! It is new to me, that is a cool idea and a great site...very interesting...

The one I've been hearing a lot lately is, "I envision", which usually translates as, "I have a fantasy that involves you".

For me, being frugal is all about ER, the more I save the sooner I can walk away and the less I spend the sooner I will have enough to satisfy a 4% SWR. I don't see myself as a frugality extremist, but some would probably say I live on the edge. As I have mentioned before, I have a brother...

Nothing quite like the taste of that first tomato...

My back started hurting when I read the poll...

Thanks for the encouragement. I really don't like being the bad guy...except when I'm drinking, and this sure feels like beer-thirty.>:D I have used the dreaded triangle...

Astroturf Googled 'godoftrading economy crisis' and discovered that he/she/it has been posting the same tripe everywhere. A banning may be in order. Sure looks like astroturf to me... Astroturfing - Wikipedia

I don't have deer problems due to a 6' cedar fence, but my brother has had success with "deer netting", similar to this stuff... Deer Stop Netting | Garden Animal Control He just drapes it over the plants.

Nightline: Living the Real Simple Life

I have assumed for several years that Costco's prices were low enough to justify the membership cost. Recently I was surprised to discover that they were considerably more expensive than a regional grocer (WinCo) on a number of things. And worse, I didn't need to buy a hundred pounds of...

Still working and the IRS says I am not eligible due to my over-achiever stressed-out fool status. I wish I was retired and making less...seriously, that would be sweet. One more year and I will (hopefully) have enough to compete for a rebate. :p

In debt up to my eyeballs... YouTube - lendingtree commercial

I believe she was caught with an adult beverage of some kind...

If you sell a place in the North End and while you're gone MU shuts down their facilities, you just may be able to get back in cheaper than you started... On the other hand, not likely, and most NE properties will retain their value regardless.;) It is all a dice roll/coin toss... If you want...
