I guess it may have something to do with being a politician’s wife; of course, I cannot understand what that’s like, as I’ve never been in those shoes. I suppose there may be a sense of duty that goes with being First Lady. After all, Silda invested a lot in her husband’s career; when he loses the governorship, she loses her role as First Lady. Maybe that’s why she encouraged him to stay, and didn’t want him to resign his post. Perhaps she did it for her daughters, to show family unity and love for her husband. I hope Eliot Spitzer realizes how lucky he is to have his loyal family, and how deeply he violated them with his actions.

I called the bank and indicated that he had increased his insurance by the small amount and had faxed them the proof. To make a long story short, it took me about three months, gallons of bad blood, unending discussions that invariably ended with the promises that all matters had been resolved, until the next letter was received by my Cuban friend, with the news that he owed still more money. The bank had taken a flood policy at a cost of roughly TWENTY times the average cost of flood insurance, through an unknown company. (I don’t want to guess who the real owners of that insurance company are).

When it comes to successful long-term investing, compound interest is possibly the most important concept you need to understand. Compound interest is when you earn interest on top of interest. For example if you invest $1,000 in an account with an average yearly interest rate of 10%. After one year you will have $1,100 in the account. Now you would expect that after two years your account value would increase to $1,200. However, you would be wrong. The 10% interest is actually applied to the $1,100 you have in the account. Therefore, you will actually have $1,210 after two years.

Joba Chamberlain picked up his first win of the season, allowing one run in seven innings with six strikeouts. His ERA stands at 3.13 but he has been less than dominant with a 13/17 walk to strikeout ratio.

It turned out that my cousin was a very hard worker. He worked cutting wood fifty hours a week and the reason he drank was because that was just what he liked to do. He always mentioned that he regretted the mistakes he had made in the past but that they were over now. He does not drive anymore, does not drink and go to work, and he is the funniest person you will ever meet. From just that one week of hanging out with my new cousin I knew that we were going to be best friends for a very long time.

My geography is getting better – Mt. Hood in Oregon, Mt. Katahdin in Maine, Mt. McKinley in Alaska – these are all places my mother, the adventurer, will travel.

When you think about it, it is actually very easy for a person to feel jealous or insecure that he or she will think, "What should I do when getting back with my ex?" Take some time off, if possible, to think about the reasons why you want to get back with your ex. It should be a reason that is honest and sincere.

The benefit a recession brings is buying habits change fast. By keeping your eye on your target market and acting on their changing needs before your completion, you can snag new customers. This is especially true if you’re smaller. You can use your smallness to your advantage. Why?
