Some of you need a reality check.  Chris Brown is a thug who thinks he can do anything and all his loyal fans will still back him.  Well, I guess some of you need to look in the mirror and ask yourselves what kind of person are you?  I'm sure you would stand by as Chris Brown would hit a woman over and over and do noth...more

Both add on girls will be done either next week or the next.  Why do you think American didn't vote for them?  They just aren't good enough.  Ashton was the Judges pick all the time.  It didn't matter if she sang bad or not.  They or the producers wanted her in the finals.  I just don't like her.  I haven't heard he do...more

The best secret to early retirement is two things.  Have kids early in life so they don't drain your retirement fund when they have to go to college or don't have any kids at all.  I had children later in life and now I will have to wait until I'm at least 70 to retire.  I will be very well off thanks to my military re...more

If you have a simple return, do it yourself or go out and buy the software.  Most all of them come with electronic returns for Federal and State returns.  I have never had a problem and it saves me the hassle and money of going to a tax preparer.  I also do my friends as well and don't charge them a dime.  It's not tha...more

Bellingham Wa is ok if you want to live in a substandard house at around $120,000.  It's not a cheap place to retire.  Any city close to Seattle has a higher than normal cost of living.  They don't have a state tax, but local taxes can eat you up.

If you have any common sense you will do fine.  Otherwise you will waste the money on stupid and useless things that you didn't need in the first place.  If you manage your own finances now and plan to retire without too many worries, then a million dollars isn't much different.  Take out an annuity and live happy ever...more

It makes me laugh.  Just like IDOL.  They need to change the way the scoring by the judges is counted.  Judges scores should be 90% of the total score.  That way fans would have to vote like 10,000,000 to 1 in order to get someone with a lower score selected.

Either there are a lot of stupid people out there voting for Bristol or the show is manipulating the results to keep her in.  The Judges votes should count for 75% of the total.  That way the vote would have to be way over the board to keep the dancers in the competition.  This just isn't right.

Some of you need to get a life.  Doom and Gloom seems to be the daily outlook for you.  Maybe if you planned on having a retirement about 40 years ago you would be in a better situation.  I spent 26 years in the military.  Great retirement pay.  Then I worked for the government another 15 years.  Another great retireme...more
