It feels so empty without me
Hooray for Science and Medicine!
In a devastating blow to the anti-vaccination community, another study has been released showing no linkage between vaccinations and autism. This follows a previous evaluation that found that mercury-based thimerasol is also not the autism culprit. It is tragic that so much energy has been wasted on proving that ( Read more... ) -

Money Management for the Middle Class: Investing
You're going to be working for a long, long time if your plan for having money at retirement is based on putting leftover cash in a glass jar under the bed. Yet, many people don't look at what they could be doing with their money to help grow wealth and achieve a state of financial certainty (ie. all bills paid) without having to maintain ( Read more... ) -
Money Management for the Middle Class: Insurance Planning

Money Management for the Middle Class, part 1

Just once in a very blue moon
I'd made a pact with the Lj section of my brain that I would hold off on posting anything negative or doom and gloom in the near future, and so far I've been very successful at not going into any details about things I might otherwise be contractually obligated not to talk about (seriously, but it's got a finite window, so I'll tell you at some ( Read more... )
