<description><![CDATA[I have lost 40% of my value. If prices were to go up 5% a year I would not break even for 20 years. I am thinking of simply packing up and moving out. In two years I will have saved enough for 20% down on my next place and the market will still be way down so I will actually be in a place to build equity. I know it is irresponsible. But these are desperate times and I feel a need to look at things very selfishly. I need to make money on my house or I will be on the street when I retire. Thoughts on this plan would be very appreciated.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Women talk all the time about how hard it is ti meet good guys. But where are all the good women? I tell you, they are not single. There is good reason most single women are single. The more I meet the more damage I see. SIngle women in their 40s have been through multiple relationships and are unwilling to compromise or change to meet the needs of another. That is why men go young, I think. It isn't for the look of youth, it is for the fun and laughter and wide-eyed joy that young women bring to a relationship. They are grateful. They are filled with hope. They are open to something new and willing to leave their old selves behind to embark on something bigger and better.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have an opening on my staff. A junior position and we have had hundreds of applications from very qualified people. This is good. What is bad is that a top client of mine has a son who is looking for something in our field, as well, and his father has asked us to bring him on. The kid is not a go getter and it was clear in the interview that he had not been to our website or spoken to any customers. He was just going through the motions and pretty much thinks he has it in the bag. In fat times that is cool, I guess. There are plenty of jobs to go around. Now, there are real people out there trying to feed their families. People that could really add to the firm's credentials and give us a leg up when goof times return. This kid will only be here until he decides he has had enough or his buddies ask him to go surfing. Still, his Dad runs are second largest piece of business and I know giving his kid a job would cement that relationship, even if the kid splits in a couple months. Any thoughts?<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

For example, can we/should we try to be friends through this process? We've always been cool with each other and I am fine with her cheating. I just want to keep things cool and not have this become more than it is. Our kids are grown and the money is pretty easy to split. But she called and asked me to dinner after only a couple weeks apart and I am wondering if this is a good idea? Actually i know it isn't a good idea but I wasn't sure if there were new rules that said we should all hold hands and sing Kumaiyah (sp?).<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I was married for 13 years and by the end my ex was suffering panic attacks, agoraphobia and other assorted disorders. It was horrible for her but when I left she got better. Now, I am in a two-year thing and my current girl is suffering migrain headaches, ulcers, sleep disorders and depression. It all feels very deja vu and I am wondering if I am creating something that takes the life out of these women? I know and they knew/know that this is only temporary; that each of us will be moving on to others at some point. I am very clear on that. But does that type of agreement up front throw women off? They want to know the truth, they say....But do they?<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have torn tendons in my right ankle. For 3 years I have put surgery off. So I finally manned up and scheduled surgery for early Feb.  This was going to be easy and he was just going to sew my tendon back together. Now, he says the problem is I have too high an arch and he wants to lower it. Has anybody heard of this procedure?  Sounds like I am inviting trouble.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My 401k is down almost 25% since all the crashing and burning in the markets. Should I stop putting money into my fund and simply open a savings account and hold it there until things change? Or should I keep investing and wait it out while I get the tax break that comes from lower income? I am a long term investor and not good at moving things around but I want to be smart. Advice?<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am so sick of the rich getting richer and getting off for sticking it to the rest of us. I would be willing to pay more in taxes if people who needed help got it and if people who needed a slap in the face got that, too. The idea of the American Dream is done for middle class working people like myself. The revolution is coming and I will be on top of the barricades and in the front of the protest with my fist clenched. People say America is a joke to the rest of the world. I say we are a joke to our own history and best traditions. Greed defines us. Consumption completes us. America the beautiful? How about America the fat and lazy.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I know this is ending. I can see my boxes filled and stacked on her front lawn. SHe knows it, too. She asked me the other night to stay through the Holidays. That means Christmas and New Year's Eve and parties and pretending that everything is fine when it isn't. I feel like I am going through a slow death. Isn't it fairer and better to just end it now? Doesn't this ruin the Holidays rather than the other way around? Is it so important to have someone there--anyone--rather than be living in the truth? I don't get it.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Obviously, there is a lot of turmoil in the economy. But in that chaos is opportunity. I have some money saved and I have identified a unique need that I can solve. The scary thing is that I need to move fast and it would force me to give up my current position that is paying the bills. If I wait, I love out. But if I go I am taking a risk because I coudlngo back. My gut says to roll the dice and give it a shot. I am getting older and I feel like I need to do something big before I can;t do anything at all. When is a risk too risky? When is being conservatie simply being a puss?<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I went back again a couple months ago because she promised it would be different this time. But the controlling, the smart mouth, the bitchiness is right back where it has always been. So here I am again and I Am so burnt out on the whole relationship thing. It simply is not worth the trouble and I know it is going to be ugly this time and we won't be friends and I will be the fucking bad guy....<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>
