  1. The Tutweiler is very nice. I guess it justs depends on what other activities they want to partake in while they are in the 'ham. This looks fun too. We haven't had a chance to stay here yet. http://www.starwoodhotels.com/alofthotels/...propertyID=3272
  2. My personal favorite is Marriott's Renaissance at Ross Bridge. Its on a Robert Trent Jones Golf course. The hotel looks like a castle. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/bhmh...resort-and-spa/
  3. No, this only confirms my suspicion that I should run like h*ll from the vaccine. LOL!!! Interesting how Baxter accidently released a strain of this in the last year or so in Europe and the suddenly stand to make billions of the vaccine now that the H1N1 has shown up around the globe. I'll take my chances with the flu..
  4. Give it a couple of weeks and it will be 85 again...
  5. Check out the Peter G Peterson Foundation. Very sombering information on the direction our country is headed for with its current deficits and future unfunded liabilities. http://www.pgpf.org/about/
  6. I'm waiting for it to crash too. Maybe next year. It will be a rocky ride for the next couple of years while all this clears out of the financial system and the dust settles. Then I am expexting much higher interest rates and another recession.
  7. We took the penalties and cashed out. I am concerned about the possibility of a bank holiday. The scary thing is that nothing has changed for the banks. They are insolvent. They are being propped up by accounting tricks and cheap money from the Fed. CRE exposure/losses combined with losses from Alt A and Pay Option over the next couple of years will make for a couple of interesting years, think wild ride on the market. Not to mention their off balance sheet exposure to verious derivatives. With the dollar tankin, I bet some banks are taking a hit. What will be interesting to watch is the int
  8. We pulled everything else at Dow 12,600 in 2008 over concerns related to derivatives exposure. We don't plan on getting back in to the market any time soon due to derivative concerns, accounting tricks (mark to market relaxed rules set to expire at the beginning of the new year), and the continued monetization of debt by the Fed. Buy and hold is dead, traditional analyses used by investors are useless as long as the Fed continues to prop the market up. However, I've made a little money investing in the too big to fail companies of C and AIG.
  9. Food for thought and to put things into perspective... http://www.zerohedge.com/article/dow-10000-oh-wait-make-7537
  10. We are in the middle of making muscadine jelly so it will be whatever we scrounge up. Probably ribs and soup.
  11. What's news is that the dollar is tanking!!! Hello inflation!!!
  12. She's a modern day Mia Farrow. I wonder if Brad will run off with Zahara in 15 years. LOL!
  13. Going on 7 months now and know tons of folks that have been unemployed longer. Articles I've read suggest the jobs won't be coming back until 2012 or later, if at all. So, I'm going to start doing some bookkeeping for some small businesses and am exploring other avenues. I think at this point, if you want a job, you may just have to create your own. I'm still sending out resumes and applying and keeping in contact with some folks that my have something the mid part of next year. I'm realistic to think this year is shot for getting a job since we are getting into the holidays and no one
  14. Sounds tasty. I have had an interesting dish with feta that was baked briefly in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and ouzo. They lit the ouzo right before serving. It was served with pita wedges. Divine.

  16. Everyone we knew was going to the Caribbean to get married. I wanted to go to Vegas and get married since no one we knew had actually done that. The family had a fit so we had to have a wedding. I really don't like weddings, they are a waste of money IMO. And don't even get me started on dresses. I don't like lace, bows, sequins, hearts and just didn't see myself wearing one of those things. I found a nice ivory suit and wore it. My bridesmaid was a fashionista so she had something in her closet that worked. We got married in the church I grew up attending. Even just the basics
  17. Wearing a seatbelt is a logical thing to do to protect yourself but I don't beleive it should be a law to require an adult to wear a seatbelt. I'm okay with a law to require children to wear seatbelts.
  18. Marge Simpson!!! http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/entertain...playboy?slide=2 Simpsons celebrate 20th anniversary.
  19. Now now. We wouldn't want to talk bad about our County gov't. I'm through trying to point things out. I'm suprised one of their calvary isn't already on the thread bashing everyone. On the flag. It is pitiful.
  20. black beans, red wine instead of water and a little sugar.
