Perhaps it is a first-world problem of sorts? Of course, it is really just a minor inconvenience. Still, it sucks. Let's just be honest here. As you know from my previous post, I will be headed off to Kansas for work and of...

Jim Bauer @lovebuglena When threads get like that, depending on how many people are in it, I tend to copy and paste the comment I am responding to. But few people do that.

Jim Bauer It definitely depends on one's lifestyle and what they want to do. For most people it's not enough and they barely squeak by.

While scrolling through my FB newsfeed I stumbled upon a post that NCIS: Los Angeles is cancelled. This season, the 14th season, will be its last. I am majorly bummed and sad to find out this news. It’s a shock to me. Wonder why...

The last couple of days I have spent lots of time on the phone helping my cousin. She is blind and rarely asks for help. Her daughter recently moved closer to her Dad, so she doesn't visit as often. I bought her a magnifier last...

Jim Bauer @CarolDM We always tend to call disabilities just that, but it amazes me sometimes how much a disabled person can do, having compensated for it.

Jim Bauer My gosh, you are going through one hell of a time over there. Time to just pack it all up and head for the Keys I think. Someone is trying to tell you. lol For dinner we just had hamburgers, salad, and I fried up some garlic parmesan potatoes.

Jim Bauer I think what the democrats are suffering is something very similar to a form of Munchausen Syndrome where people make someone else sick just to come to their rescue as a hero.

Jim Bauer Thank you. We are looking forward to it and I think it should be fun. I could with nicer weather, but it is supposed to be in the high 40s, low 50s, so it won't be terrible.

Jim Bauer As Robert Kiyosaki of Rich Dad, Poor Dad once said, "They call them brokers because they are broker than you are." I don't rely on advisors either. Any research I do comes from my own efforts. It has worked well for me. In any event, one has to think, if...

From time to time, companies either need to unload cash or something else happens that they feel more is due to shareholders than their typical dividend. They are most often referred to as "supplemental dividends." One such...

Jim Bauer Usually, if you done your "homework," you can find good reasons why a stock moves one way or another, and can better assess whether or not the moves are justified. When I am invested in a company it is never a one and done thing. I constantly reevaluate my...

Jim Bauer That's it, really, right? Make the money. They are going to make it anyway. I might as well take my cut and if I want to be an activist, I'll have better funding to make a bigger impact.

Jim Bauer @Bensen32 Maybe is right, because there IS a funny thing happening. It's that people are shifting and in big numbers, and this will not bode well for the democrats. I wish I could find a very interesting article that talked about this...but it is eluding me....
