I haven’t done one of these in awhile.
Ask me a question. Anything goes! 26 slots out of 5000 taken! I can accept 4974 more questions. We can do it! I close the post for comments at 12:00AM HST Saturday, August 26, 2006. That’s in 16 hours!
Check out some great posts this week!
Don’t lose or misplace those old glasses! Keep em somewhere you can find them just in case. Just in case you’re at the beach not paying attention when a wave hits you from the back and knocks your glasses into the water

How many times have I quit jobs? 2 times. Once because I graduated from college, so I had to, and the second time because it was just a (bad) job…Actually, almost 3, but I’ll leave that story for another day.
Here are some tips for before and after quitting:
Sharon over at the Frugal Dutchess is asking for submissions to be a guest columnist in the Miami Herald. If you’re interested, please head on over and check it out. You’ll have to correspond with Sharon for the details, but it’s a nice offer…so check it out!
EDIT: Sharon has contacted me, it’s not a column in the paper…rather a column on her blog. But, she has mentioned that she will do something in the future with a roundup of the advice she collects…
And don’t forget to ask me a question. Anything goes! I close the post for comments at 12:00AM HST Saturday, August 26, 2006.
Here’s the analysis to my poll, “On the First Date, Who Pays?“ To be frank (Not the FSA), I’m shocked! I was expecting death threats in my inbox, comments to end myself, and angry women at my doorstep (that would’ve been interesting), but I guess the question isn’t as earth shattering as I expected. Phew! I thought the “Man” option would have been a slam dunk as the majority vote. I voted for it myself. Credit SingleMa for bringing up the thought.
I’m a fairly new blogger, but already in the past 7 months, I’ve seen PF bloggers come and go.
I’d like to post up some bloggers I really wish would come back. Maybe they are still reading? I enjoyed their posts, and maybe some of you will to. If you have some time, browse through their archives. This is not an all inclusive list, because there are some blogs I just don’t remember, but I did enjoy at one time or another. I’m getting older…the brain cells just aren’t as fresh as they were a few years ago.
I missed a deal on slickdeals.net for “premium online access” to US News & World Report’s Best Colleges 2007…but in looking through the forums at slickdeals.net, I found a poster who linked up a couple ranking pages from The Washington Monthly.
The site states:
Welcome to The Washington Monthly College Rankings. Unlike other college guides, such as U.S. News and World Report, this guide asks not what colleges can do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country. It’s a guide for all Americans who are concerned about our institutions of higher learning. Are our colleges making good use of our tax dollars? Are they producing graduates who can keep our nation competitive in a changing world? Are they, in short, doing well by doing good? This is the guide that tells you.
Interesting…
HOWEVER, I am a little leery since the site has a link that is titled, “Report: Is Our Students Learning?” I’m no grammar expert by any means, but shouldn’t the title be, “Reports: Are Our Students Learning?”
Ah, anyway if you want to look up some of your favorite universities or ones that you might be considering, check out this link. Here is a direct link to the rankings, so you can by pass the grammar problem.
Hey considering these suckers go for about $5 a pop, that’s not bad. I don’t think I’ve bought a razor in awhile actually…
Check it out here…Thanks Slickdeals.net!
Hurry before it expires!!
‘To Those Born After 1982′
Jim over at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity posted up a great link to an article that is framed as a letter To Those Born After 1982.
I don’t know much about this blog, it’s brand new to me…but after reading Jim’s post and the original, I had to write about it. A little off topic, but I think it’s interesting…I hope you do too.
