I find the comments from other posters to be alarming.  Apparently the common misconception for my generation was that someone would pay us to not work when we got old and feeble.  Well guess what?  That someone is you!   We have been told for years now that it will require $1 Million in savings for a Baby Boomer t...more

Would it have still required 35 rescuers if the naked student had been male?  Or not slender and attractive?

Our thirty-someting kids have the same complaint.  The first two years after Grad Schol were filled with weddings of friends and all were expensive.  Not necessarily destination weddings per se, but being scattered around the country in the Brides' home towns made travel expensive and difficult.  They were forced to de...more

Another major Boo-Boo.  Charter schools, of which two are named in your Top 10 List, are not Public schools but are Publicly Funded Private Schools.

The reason people stopped buying small to mid-sized trucks was due to cost and rebates.  A buyer could purchase a full-size truck with rebates at nearly the same price as a small truck or even less in some cases!    The increased functionality of a larger truck, and identical mileage ratings from the same V6 engin...more
