Engaging the Elbow
An Old World friend of mine taught me a long time ago how to recognize if someone was born into “Old Money” or not. You identify Old Money not by their houses or cars or their shoes or by the watches they wear.

The Price of Matrimony and the Going Rate for Babies
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes — or “Kate” Holmes as she is now to be known because Mr. Cruise has reportedly deemed “Katie” too “juvenile” a name for a mother — now appear to have settled the financial aspect of their relationship.

Stop that Check!
$2,500.00 USD was taken out of the checking account of a New Jersey woman who placed a “stop payment” on a check to a company that did not complete a work order on her house.
The company submitted the check three times over three months for payment and three times the check was returned un-cashed to the company.
A Blog in the Marketplace

Would You Take $10,000?
If you were offered $10,000 for a Dot Com domain you owned and operated for almost a decade, would you take the money? I was in that situation a couple of weeks ago. The first offer was $4,000 and the final offer was $10,000. In the end, I turned down the $10,000. The URL of the site in question, http://goinside.com, is home to one of the first online magazines run entirely for, and by, new writers looking to get their first publication and for established writers who seek to write their bliss for no profit.
Why We Should Care: Baby Boomers are Retiring
by Andrea Puckett
When I was a child, I never really thought about what the world would be like when my parents, baby boomers, either retired or needed extra medical attention. However, a few months ago, these were two issues that I was confronted with.
My father was born in 1946 at the peak of the baby boomer generation. He has always been my pillar of strength both physically and emotionally but in November he fell down a mountain and that fall would change our world forever. He was out deer hunting, something that he has done every deer hunting season since his childhood, and got his foot tangled in a tree root and fell down the mountain. He broke several vertebrae and was hospitalized for four weeks. Without warning, my pillar of strength was broken. Laying in the hospital waiting to have surgery was one of the first times in all of his 59 years that he had time to reflect and actually think about what it was like to get older.

True Reparation
by Tammy Tillotson
I recently received a response to my article on Native American Reparation. The back and forth dialogue which ensued as a result, reiterated several enlightening and humorous points concerning true reparation in a real life scenario. Too often people have a tendency not to practice what they preach, or what they write about. The chance to do so is a rare opportunity and a valuable lesson worth sharing. I feel both humbled and privileged to share this sequel to my article on Reparation.
Bingo!
by Tammy Tillotson
In 1930, Professor Carl Leffler developed a system of 6,000 bingo cards with non-repeating number groups. He later went insane. There are 1,474,200 unique Bingo cards possible, and only a handful of unique things to do for fun in a small town.
Bingo Hall of Fame
Since the last time someone’s unique idea resulted in an array of blue flashing lights, I recently decided that Bingo presented an argument of at least 1,474,197 different possibilities that might prove just as interesting as slow dancing in the median of Hwy 58 at midnight.
