linklings, the leap year conspiracy edition

Started by Steve @ bripblap · 10 months ago

2008 promises great drama and suspense. The Patriot nation shudders in ecstasy awaiting the next victory by the chosen, while my Jets unpack their golfing gear. America throws up in its mouth a little bit every time it considers the upcoming presidential election and the available choices. But bes ... Continue reading »

    Steve, thanks for the kind words. I include your mind in "your ability to create income" because that is how you and many other people create their income. Authors, artists, musicians, consultants. They all have an ability to create something that people are willing to pay for. For them, that is their greatest asset.

    I'm interested in Prosper and will be funding my account this weekend. I too, would like to "become the bank." That's where the money is! ;)

    Steve, us Iowans don't really have much to our names but corn and these caucuses every 4 years. Seriously, don't be jealous!

    I also bought On Writing Well recently (on the basis of Trent's review) and I think it's going to be one of those books that I turn to again and again.

    Why did I not know this about Biden? I grew up with him as my...well, various things I think. Senator, attorney general?

    I love the book On Writing Well! I really should pull it out again.

    Thanks for linking to the Carnival of Financial Goals!

    @Patrick: We'll look forward to seeing you join Prosper!

    @Pinyo: Wow, I thought it was arbitrary! Thanks so much, that's quite an honor, actually.

    @Brooke: I'm only jealous once every four years :) The rest of the time I am swooning over Manhattan. :)

    @plonkee: It's an excellent book - it's easy to see how Trent recommended it, although to be fair a journalist friend of mine had mentioned it to me before so Trent's post just reminded me. It made me realize that I still have a long way to go, though...

    @Mrs. Micah: I think the article was pretty clear that he tried hard not to capitalize on it. I don't think anyone should be lauded for surviving adversity but Bubelah read the article and we both shuddered and said with one little baby and another on the way we are in awe of someone who could continue living after an event like that. The temptation to succumb to despair would be overwhelming. I am neutral on his politics but he's one politician who, if I ever meet him (and I've met QUITE a few being the semi-active political person I am) I would be proud to shake his hand (unlike many, many, many of our politicians).

    I'm the only one at the office not to pick the Patriots in the pool. I just couldn't stomach backing them. And if (when) they fall, I should have a decent payday coming!
