But finding a Beta edition Black Lotus in perfect shape goes a long way to making the pain easier to bear.

Oh good.

ION, who the hell spends $5000 (recent eBay price) for a piece of paper with ink on it that wasn't issued by a government or financial institution? And where can I find their email address?

Connie, email me NEXT WEEK about finding out who you should talk to. Not right now, as I am prepping for an event tomorrow, and then I have a tech-industry networking/career fair thing on Tuesday morning. So right now, I have no brain. After Tuesday? I should.

I may have to become a PT domme -- anyone got any leather/PVC corsets they can lend me?

What size are you? And do you care if it's a waist cincher with HOLY SHIT BRIGHT pink Scotchlight reflective tape trim?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The range of the hivemind is truly awe-inspiring. Car parts to corsets, and everything in between.

I used our down time to stalk professional cyclists. They have nice legs. And bikes.

Hubby talks on Monday to the guy with the 6K in cash for Magic. If he doesn't show proper appreciation, I will definitely contact you.

Anyone have good ideas of reputable places that will help us dig ourselves out of this hole? Or tips, books, websites, etc?

Erin, I am happy to send you finance books and budgeting info if you ping me with your address. It's a promise I made to myself when I was getting out debt.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've found Suze Orman's books pretty good for setting out plans for what to pay first, what to pay next, how to figure out what money goes where, and so on. I haven't read very many others, so I can't really compare them, but I thought hers were good.

I find that both Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey are the best for easy-to-understand basic financial advice. They differ on a few points, with Orman focused more on building wealth and Ramsey on sacrificing and getting out of debt, but both are very sound and practical.

Oh, dear, I misread that eBay listing on the Black Lotus, it's not $5000. It was $1500. Still, trade a scrap of paper for a car. Don't seem right. But I'll happily profit from it.

Oh, people pay crazy prices for Alpha and Beta cards. I have a complete set, but it's only the Revised (3rd) Edition. I think the most expensive cards in that one are the dual lands, but I have no idea what they go for.
