You should step inside one of your Nirvana classes here for a year and see how to get over your ex boyfriend long you last. I have 176 adolescents cross paths with me each day. Any given day 10% are having boyfriend/girlfriend angst/issues, 25-50% are hassling with their parents (sometimes with themselves) and then they get to sit through 2 hours of abstract mathematics with me (sometimes I have my own issues). It's not an assembly line and they're not widgets or financial More

The price increase didn't really bother me but this move really makes me question whether to remain a customer. Having both your streaming and DVD lists integrated was a big benefit. Having them separate is going to be an inconvenience. Why do they want to inconvenience their types of customers? I used to be very impressed with how well Netflix treated their customers (for instance their webpage interface is much easier to use than say Hulu.) But with this boneheaded move More

Far too many men in this age group, myself included, have seen how marriage and divorce advice for men laws have been used to loot men's wealth and to deprive them of their children. Why on Earth would ANY intelligent man (the kind the author seems to desire) sign up for that? They're too busy enjoying the fruit of their labor and have no intention of having it stolen from them. And let's also be honest - men are no longer needed. We're told so from birth. Women never hesitate More

Erik, I really like your posts. Not just what you say, with which I largely agree, but how you say it. Don't know what your day job is, but you've got a future in financial journalism, too. (If you have a blog, let me know what it is so I can sign up.) On inflation and who it hurts, I submit it most hurts the middle class (like me). All our lives we drove used cars and took simple (or no) vacations and now that we have a few dollars saved up for our retirement (and maybe More

Rick, My reference to my Macbook is moreso in tune with highlighting the benefit of recognizing the possible benefits of small, short-term gains that lead to larger, long-term benefits. Growth for the sake of growth should not be sped up if, in the long-run, it does not add a significant, meaningful value. I also agree that it is inappropriate for my irs tax calculator reference to reflect Chinese-made products like heavy machinery, et al. Just a fun observation that occurred More

I watched Jack's career throughout my youth. Funny thing about Jack was that in your heart you knew he was the best of the pros, but on any given week, it could just as easily be Arnold, Gary, Tom (Weiskopf), Tom (Watson), Lee or others who would win. He didn't intimidate and no one assumed he would win every week. He didn't come across as the warmest guy on TV. But he did have great skill at all facets of the game and a way of finding an extra gear from time to time, and More

I listen to NPR when the news/small talk topics station goes to baseball and I'm not in the mood for music. They cover a broad range of interesting topics, with a bit more depth than some stations. Their programming is often interesting, and a few non-news programs like Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion are personal favorites. But that doesn't mean I judge their programming to be unbiased - not by a longshot. And whether they are biased or not, they shouldn't be funded More

Extenting unemployment checks one bill after the next is not JOB creation! Spending a year to pass Obamacare that no one can to this day tell you what is in it and not dealing with JOBS is not good either! Dems love their Obama. But I can assure you this! If your employment GAP on your resume is over 90 days you might want to consider re-training or further education! You will NOT be hired! Except in some unions! Who BTW are making a resume sweet deals and getting plenty More

Di still love youtto Marianne! We've got a silver twinkie (Airstream) we absolutely love and we've met people who have 'sold the farm' and are full-time campers. And they love the freedom and don't miss the hassles of home-owning. Besides Evergreen, the Earthbound and Gallileo companies are designing trailers which appeal to those 'hip urban' types who abhor the plastic 'oak' cabinets , fake stained glass inserts and tacky upholstery which used to be the norm. We've travelled More

As one who out of necessity has just been persuaded to venture into Mac for hardware, I'm guessing there is even more growth to come for these guys, particularly as all the new VZW iPhone users start looking for computers. Their box pricing methods is still absurd, but their all-in-one unit's pricing is coming down and that's right where the market is headed, along with the book/pad-format hardware. FWIW, I recall the same wonderment when I bought my first Compaq luggable, More
