Migraine - Day Two. And I'm at work. Why?

Mom is planning on making her famous baklava this weekend. OMG, it is teh bomb.

I wish I had a hot gyno and some root.

I do not think I would be able to handle having a hot gyno. I get flustered enough talking to doctors.

sj, as flea says, you want a fee-only certified financial planner. You can find them from the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors [link] Fee-only planners charge you a fee for coming up with a plan, but they don't make commissions, so they're not tempted to steer you into the things that will make them the most money.

(Signed, listens to a personal finance talk show too much.)

Thanks flea and Ginger.

sj, if you're willing to drive down to CT, I can recommend a wonderful, honest, and very smart financial advisor. She works out of her home, and I've been working with her for a decade.

Also, if you do have a significant amount to invest, you might want to go to a financial advisor. They can help you figure out how much risk you can tolerate, what your long-term goals are, etc.

This. Even if you don't have a lot of money to invest. I started seeing J. when I was 22 and got my first job. I could only invest a tiny amount from every paycheck, but ten years of doing so has yielded an impressive amount of money. I would have been utterly lost without her guidance.

My gyno is handsome and young (that is, only a few years older than me, and when I was 28 and pregnant for the first time, he seemed awfully young). I was fine with it though, because my cousin is an RN who's spent most of her career in ob/gyn, labor and delivery, and maternity, and she said all her nurse friends in my town thought he was the best OB on staff.

I was fine with it, until I met with him in his office (as opposed to an exam room), after my first pre-natal exam, and saw a picture of him with a boy I had a huge crush on, in high school. That boy is his brother-in-law.

HA!

I would bet that my gyn is about my age...maybe even a few years younger (that's a scary thought!). He's a resident, so...

Bwah! Oh Cindy, that's hysterical.

I have to remind myself that at least the picture isn't in an exam room.

Now I'm picturing it painted onto one of the ceiling tiles to be the "pretty" you look at while you're flat on your back. That would make gyny visits, well, interesting.
