QuoteDon't have any kids myself, so I don't have any advice from experience, but this post came up on a blog I read regularly and it seems appropriate for the topic:

QuoteQuoteCheck out Dave Ramsey.
www.daveramsey.com
Solid advice. Not flashy.
Edit to add: For your personal retirement, Roth IRA's can be good. Check em' out!
Could not agree more! Do the Dave Ramsey debt thing before you invest any for you or your kids. Pay off all cars and CC debt first! Then do 401k up to the match then Roth IRA. Traditional IRA's are NOT as good! I would look at college saving's acounts for the kids then when they are of the working age (14) you can contribute what they make at ajob to Roth IRA's for them. You can get all of this on Ramsey's web site. Also if you look on his site he has ELP's (endorsed local providers) (top right of page). I have had great luck with a few of his ELP's. He has them for financial advisors. Check it out.

Thanks everyone. Keep'em comi'n if you haven't posted. btw What about gold? -
Early next year, I'll be able to start savings for my two children's college funds. I was thinking of an IRA or two IRA's. Do you think that the economy will recover? Or am I best suited to invest in CD's and bonds? One more savings for my personal retirement as well. Would you recommend 401K with the company (diversified of course) or IRA? Or Real Estate. All suggestions welcome. Thankyou (2 children btw) Harrison is 9 yo and Evelyn is almost 5 -

Just an observation, Is this guy displacing someone who had hoped to find work as a TI? If I'm not mistaken, Hawaii could use more TI's also. Just some thoughts...

QuoteQuoteWhile slow dancing with a different women on 2 separate occasions, they both said the same thing: "Take me home and do whatever you want to with me." Clearly a drunk proposition. One woman said to me (while standing in a church parking lot):"I know what I could do with you Harry, sit you in a chair, tie you up, etc....
What I got out of that was that while you were slow dancing they could feel what they thought was a huge penis and they had to check it out.

QuoteQuoteQuoteBest:
Got a message that said only "Do you want to go for a ride on my motorcycle?" Glad I did - AWESOME first date
Worst:
After a few messages back and forth, the guy told me he was Muslim.. That's not the bad part.. This comment was immediately followed by "have you ever seen a circumcised penis?" I couldn't hit the "block user" option fast enough!! EWWW!!!
What about everyone else?
So according to you, were those your best or your worst propositions??!

But what about when the woman says: "I usually don't go to bed on the first date." If I had a nickel...Quoterecently the girls i've been hooking up with have all decided to ask one little question..."so how many others have there been?"
if its the start of a relationship i can understand but IMO if its just a hookup i feel like it should fall under the don't ask don't tell category.
now i haven't been with an ungodly amount of girls but i have been with a fair amount, but i still don't know how to answer the question, i figure there are 3 options...
truthful, how ever i feel like shes more likely to feel like shes "just another girl"
low ball, it so u don't sound like u get around a lot.
high ball, it so u sound like a pimp -
QuoteYep Marisa Tomei is one I really like as well

Nice eyes, but she's a pirate's dream my friend, sunken chest.Quote -

Mine is really a sad/odd fucking story. You'll see why in a minute. Started in college w/ Army ROTC buddies. Enlisted in Regular Army in 1986. Drank briefly, but than gave it up for until 1996. Joined Tn Army National Guard. After drill the guys would hang out and drink, but I always went home. One of the guys drank alot one particular evening. On the way home, he ended up on the wrong side of the road & collided head on with a car who had a woman & her daughter inside. The woman was checking on the soldier when a semi topped the hill, striking and killing the woman. After that asshole left our unit, I'd stay with the group, have a few & then head for home. We would go to different schools and get hammered during our free time. We could always walk back to the barracks which was a good thing. Now, it's usually only on the weekends, (not every weekend) when I am watching football. It's all soon coming to an end though. In my new profession, .04% BAC is all that's needed to end my career. So it's not worth it. I'll only drink if I have a significant amount of time off to be completely sober/hydrated when I return to work.QuoteI have a drink almost everyday.
A beer after work is a must for me. M-F I usually have a few beers after work. On the weekends or weekdays at the DZ I drink until its time to go to bed, Which is usually when the beer is gone.
so how often do you drink? -
How could you say that Timmy? Clearly Chuck is concerned about protecting the tandem profession as a whole, and is concerned wiith the safety of those passengers. Aren't you?QuoteQuoteChuck- your profile reads that you've been banned from a dz or two. Let's see that video :)
Will
Since you seem to be the self appointed safety police, I'd like to see that video also. -
Carrot! OMG! -
With really low jump numbers, I was invited on a 6-way. We left the Blackhawk, it was my turn to do a 180, outface. I just didn't know how to turn at the time while staying de-arched. I just stayed in place. The organizer de-briefed me and was saying "Just turn dude, turn! Oh well.... That's why I'm willing to jump with low timers now. I don't care if they screw up. Any jump is a fun jump as long as we're safe. -
GPS
in The Bonfire
Garmin GPS for TruckersQuoteI've been wanting one for my car for awhile but have no idea what to look for nor what brand to get: Magellan, Garmin, TomTom. Was thinking about getting one of those on sale next weekend for about $100. What should I look for?
How do the road updates work? I would think the cheaper models do not come with updates but the more expensive ones do? -
Pam DawberQuoteI was watching "Yes Man" tonight and realized I have a little celebrity crush on Zooey Deschaenl.. I love the way she plays her characters and I like to think she might actually be that cool...

So who is your guilty celebrity crush? -
QuoteSometimes it just takes time to develop the chemistry. Look at me. My wife thought I was a dork when we first met. It took a long while but she eventually took some interest, found out I skydived, did a couple tandems, then fell in love with me while dancing at a friend's wedding party.
Just that not all relationships can be realized right off the bat. Go out with that guy again.
Yeah but OTOH, sometimes there IS instant chemistry that's real and undeniable...
I met my wife at an airshow performer party, while we were being introduced we made some serious eye contact, as she was reaching out to shake my hand she ask...Did you just feel that?
YES, I had!
...we've been together since that night, almost 20 years ago.
Sure you can 'learn to like' and hope something worthwhile and meaningful comes of it...but I think most women are pretty perceptive when it comes to matters of the heart, they can tell pretty quick if a new recruit has the basic materials.
If they don't get that read fairly early on then it's best to just release the small fry and bait the trap again...more often than not failure is imminent because of the self fulfilling prophecy from the initial assessment. Bait trap? Don't you mean pick up the trident? or Rearm the Harpoon?
