Yeah, there’s a recession going, times are hard for everyone. The crooks are out in force, looking for the easy way. And then there’s this guy.

Cops just know he’s gotten to more than the 2 they’ve found & are looking for the other victims.
Sometimes, ya jus gotta laugh.

I don’t think so. More like a snake oil peddler & his followers. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33557935/ns/us_news-life/
A nice, quiet ride? I think not. Another case of a kid controlling the parent. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33555007/
The internet IS a public place. Try using discretion, at least. Or get out of school before you do this. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33554218/
In each case, law suits have been filed. [...]
Nope, it ain’t over

How low can they go?

Apparently, pretty low. At least, according to this: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/money/21454244/detail.html
Ok. I get the reasoning. I do. Buy in advance, save all kinds of money & save yourself from having to make on the spot decisions that may not be what you’d pick if it were done before hand.
But seriously, WALLY WORLD SELLING CASKETS??????
Knowing what I do, my first [...]

When the cost of advertising on TV got lower, I knew the viewing public would be bombarded, but this is totally getting out of hand.
In a span of 5 minutes (per commercial break) there are generally about 3 advertisers. CapTel phones, Wally World & ambulance chasers. That’s it. I don’t know who is worse. The [...]
How could they not see this coming?

It’s all over the news these days, the economy is doing better. I beg to differ. Let’s look at facts.
Fact one: Auto sales are back down where they were before the “Cash for Clunkers” gimmick. Surprise? No. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33122449
Fact two: Home sales are slowing down, since the tax credit that was offered is ending. Again, surprising? [...]

The last paragraph makes more sense than I’ve seen in awhile:
“Do I have this completely wrong? Is there an actual fact-based (and that means you need to look somewhere other than the NRO or glibertarian sites) argument in favor of health insurance agencies? What service do they really offer? Why are these people who it [...]

I read this: http://brendancalling.com/2009/10/23/ahead-of-their-time/ & decided it’s no wonder society is so very screwed.
Chris & I have raised our kids. We decided we wanted to have them when we were young, so when we hit our 40’s, we weren’t dealing with almost teens. Didn’t want to do that. We wanted to be able to play if [...]

Loki had to go to the vet today. She’s getting her teeth cleaned, so she won’t be able to leave their office until after 4 PM. (They keep them until they are good & awake, to make sure the anesthesia has worn totally off. Can you imagine cleaning the teeth of a snarling, snapping, barking [...]

The news has been rather interesting lately, regarding the health insurance industry. This is just in Colorado & I have no idea if different companies pull the same stunts in different states.
On October 12, there was a story of how Rocky Mountain Health Plans had denied coverage for a 4 month old baby based on [...]
