Allan & R: Life is a precious gift & maybe we do need apps to remind us of those things, life honoring every day, and doing our parts to better the world!

We made our resolutions back on Rosh Hashanah. Don’t need an app for that, but to do justice, seek mercy and walk humbly in the path of HaShem.

I like this, Janet. Maybe add we all might live each day remembering how precious it is, and how lucky we are to be here at all. Some math on this subject coming to you, for everyone. Allan

Dear Gen-Plus Janet
when it’s holiday season
I write you haiku.

It’s our tradition…
Family Never Gave Gifts!
Saved for Europe Trip!!!

Thanks for the concept
This season, my gift to all
Who else sends poetry?

You pal,
Frish

Hopefully, this will be the Chanuka we return to our original minor holiday gift of pocket change, epitomized by chocolate coins, abandoning the commercialized Christmas-influenced eight gifts (or worse – eight days of gifts).

“Surprisingly human” ? What, they aren’t people.

Comment on NYT: Voices Faulting G.O.P. Economic Policies Grow Louder by Skip Ogden

Accurate and clear? You think this clip exposed something? The minor downgrade wasn’t good, but it woke up a lot of people on BOTH sides to the massive debt this country is in and to the unleashed spending going on right now in DC. Washington has to stop spending money it doesn’t have.

Comment on Buffett: Rich Should Pay More Taxes by Skip Ogden

Skip Ogden — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:23:30 +0000

This entire Buffet issue has gotten out of hand. Buffet and his secretary, assuming that’s even what this is about, pay taxes on different types of income. Who will pay for raising rates on dividends? Where do you think a lot of the income on your 401K comes from? If Buffet wants to pay more tax, he can take fewer deductions or simply write a check to the US Treasury. This is nothing but political grandstanding.

Stop pointing fingers and get rid of the current absurd tax code. Implement a flax tax – one rate for everyone. Then this kind of nonsensical manipulation of numbers stops.

If this is a political forum, I’m in the wrong place. I’m 56 and have 30+ years in IT and am fighting to re-enter the field dominated my 20-somethings. I’m here to get advice on breaking the age barrier at work, not to listen to msnbc.

What was your move motivation? Timing could have been better. If you waited until Pesach, you wouldn’t have had to clean. I don’t understand how you can sell a house without a refrigerator or why you had to remove the washer/dryer. Buyers were bringing theirs and made the sale contingent on you removing yours?
