    Where would you grow your money?

    Hmmmmm Ok, now that I've moved into multiple millions territory, my family is provided for.... Let's see -- a little real estate investment. Hmnn, Lover's Island looks quite nice. But it almost REQUIRES a cabana boy toy type (but will he sign a pre-nup? Do I even CARE? :D )...

    A question for the writers amongst us...

    Dumb Question of the Day OK, dumb question of the day -- Why is everyone being so hard on the poor working stiff? (Groans at her own very bad pun) Seriously, earning money out in the workforce generally involves a certain amount of compromise and a functional bullsh**-o-meter. Writing for...

    Sorry -- but it's hard to spell correctly when your brains have been sucked out. 4

    Eerie goings on...... With A Poll

    This is Pod 3 of 12. Cie is no longer available to post to this thread. Her brains have been sucked out through a penguin's probiscus and munched by an evil space bat for dessert... All posts to this thread intended for Cie should be addressed to 3 of 12. (4 for short)

    Where would you grow your money?

    Being has how I'm getting more conservative in my old age... First - pay off my house, my car, and my old medical debts. (Believe me when I tell you that this will put a MAJOR dent in the amount. Sigh). Second -- set up a trust fund for my son and another for my parents. After that...

    Pick One...

    451. I like Bradbury. I do WANT to read those of the others I haven't yet, but I have to say I don't like Orwell much.

    Eerie goings on...... With A Poll

    I'm Crushed, CRUSHED I say I am crushed, CRUSHED. I'm not even mentioned on the survey as an option! Granted, I'm not sure I WANT to be podified and have my brains sucked out through a probiscus (If I am recalling this correctly), but, I mean, NOBODY wants to be left out entirely! Snubbed...

    Favorite Quotes

    Hi guys! Just ran across some quotes that I really like. One I can't attribute. It came to me in a Christmas e-mail from a friend of mine and I don't know where she got it. The other's by Albert Einstein. SO, I was thinking maybe folks have favorites they'd like to share? Would those...

    Mitch Albom: The Five People You Meet In Heaven

    Worth Buying? I have been trying to decide whether or not to buy this one. Would you say it's worth it?

    Recently Purchased/Borrowed

    Recent Purchases OK, the TBR pile has now SERIOUSLY taken over the living room bookshelves and a good chunk of the office. I have WAY more books I want to read than I have time to read them, and even more books I probably "should" read that are at the bottom of the pile. But I voluntarily...

    A question for the writers amongst us...

    Why did you choose to learn? Was it your choice or were you pushed into it? Now that you have the ability to play the instruments, have you tried writing your own music, to your own moods and standards? If not, why not? I realize its none of my business, but it makes me curious. My music...

    A question for the writers amongst us...

    Freya, my dear, you need to develop a contrary streak! ;) "I WILL be creative IN SPITE of them all!!! They will not QUASH the beauty within"... etc., etc., etc. What always got to me was when literature teachers tried to present that they "Knew" the "Only" message behind great works. I...

    Short Fiction: Anne and her stories

    Silly Wabbit -- I liked it. It's not perfect, but overall I liked it. To me it had the "feel" of a very tired old woman who is a little senile and keeps repeating herself. As with many older people I've known she has clearer memories and a greater fondness for "the old days" than she does for...

    Blogging

    Yes, I have a blog. And yes, it's probably drivel. But it's MY drivel. I don't really expect anybody else to read it, enjoy it, or whatever, but then again, I enjoy reading other people's thoughts and opinions, so I put it out there. Some of it's personal. Some of it is things I'm learning...

    A question for the writers amongst us...

    I write, therefore I am. I have wanted to be an author since I was four. I write because I have a million people and stories running around in my head screaming to be let out. I write because I have things I want to say, (some of which may even be meaningful). Which leads to my answer of...
