Looking for ideas from someone who has done something similar to this, rather than just a "this might work" answer. Snow tube manufactures appear to stich the handles to the rubber and then seal, but am thinking without their industrial knowledge I would just ruin the tube.

Can we believe that articles provided by Fidelity are not biased towards advising us to put money in their pockets?

I just seems 401Ks (apart from getting employers full match)are a sure way to have mediocre performance because the fund managers trust wall street too much.

My aversion to under-diversification is being overwhelmed by poor 401K fund performance compared to my own stocks.

Allthough most day traders lose, it seems to me all day traders are a drain on resources and not improving productivity compared with a potential world in which trades were limited to longer time periods. why not make stronger laws limiting day trading or tax them more... out of existence?

these are the green bugs that are about 1/8 inch by 3/4 inch that defoliate northeastern US trees in the spring and come from the white moths you see late in the year.

I think kids should learn to do their own homework, anybody agree?

Do you ever anwer questions that make you feel like you are doing someone elses homework who should really be doing it themselves?

When Hillary and John get 10s of thousands of responses for an official question would it be reasonable to expect yahoo set up a realistic process for members to sort and vote? A process such as a random sorting into groups of 20 answers that could be voted on in teers. Eventually the best ideas would rise to the top even if some very good responses would get lost in the shuffle. Yahoo might have to write some code but that is what they do anyway.

I am as green lov'n as the next guy but can a solar panel system pay for itself in <10 years in Boston area even if electric rates increase 3% per year?

semi retired folks ?
