Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Holy cow, there might be people alive beneath the mudslide in the Phillipines. [link]

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I heard about that on the radio this morning--I hope they can get some people out.

BTW, Trudy, where did you get your tagline? Was it during the Olympic coverage last week?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I have a 401K with 3% salary matching from my firm (and before my move I was kicking in the max 15% contribution for the first couple of years). We also have a profit-sharing plan with yearly contributions at our employers' discretion. I seriously doubt I'm going to need much of it, though.

Getting diagnosed with high blood pressure at 34 and hearing your doctor use phrases like "medication to counter the immediate risk of a stroke" means never having to say you're afraid you'll outlive your retirement plan.

hip deep in pie

GAH! I just spent the better part of my day commenting on a document for a committee I'm on, only to realize that they renumbered the doc (which they weren't suppoed to do) and I commented on the wrong sections.

I am cranky! I don't feel like going to yoga! I just want to go home and HULK SMASH!
