CAREER + MONEY THINGS
Just how often would you have to fly in a month to justify this membership?
Shifts in the economy have NOT favored the less educated.
Mind your info at irs.gov, it’s not that safe!
Amazon’s successful self publishing authors. Every time I take another crack at my “secret” writing project, I wonder if it’s worth the time to write, edit, edit, edit. Who would read it?
I worry about this for older friends. I guess the upside to my parents not having money is I won’t have to worry about this.
FUN THINGS
Illustrated envelopes from the ’40s.
I haven’t read All New X-men in a long while but it looks like it’s time to revisit.
INTERESTING THINGS
Preparing for a huge earthquake here is scary (assuming we survive!), Katmandu’s got a rough road ahead. If you want to donate, regular reader Kris has organized a funds-matching campaign to a Nepal relief group she’s worked with.
You know what? I didn’t have to be a parent to understand. Neither do you. Because ….
I might make choices for myself differently now, but I don’t think that’s because I have children. I think it’s because I’m a responsible adult with a sense of respect for my time, my life and others’ right to do what they want so long as it’s not harmful to others.
Oh, white relatives. Hint to the authors: we’ve converted 1 white guy to be more Asian than I am in the family. Their formula was apparently a 100:1 ratio of Asians:him.
Poor dudes in Hollywood. They have to work so hard to be objectified.
Guys who create issues about women in their own minds, it’s simply not the same thing as women who are targeted as a result of those issues those guys have formed.
The memories created by Alzheimer’s, from NYTimes, thanks to @Clareyfrey
This piece took me back to life with Grandma, and then with Mom. I simply couldn’t get past the heartache to play along with the stories.
Establishing The Wall Street Journal’s editorial integrity in the ’50s. I wonder if this would still hold true today.
The article about elderly and finances makes me sad. My parents don’t have a lot of assets, but I still worry about their financial decision-making!
Same, even if not my parents, I do actually worry about other parents getting older.
Thanks for linking to my fundraiser! Really appreciate it, and so do The Mountain Fund and the villages they work in. We’re aiming to meet our goal by a week from today. Thanks again!
You’re welcome, I really hope you get there soon! They do need an awful lot, it seems.
They certainly do. This is just our attempt to meet a small piece of it. Thanks again!
I’d read your book Revanche!
