BERNARD MADOFF’S VICTIMS – Could it get any worse?

I find his name ironic. Bernard MADOFF – and he did – he made off with billions of dollars in other people’s money. Can a man be more than greedy? If so, Madoff fits the bill. What I now find absolutely appalling is the victims of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme are getting hit again – this time in public. No... Sign in to see full entry.

PLAYLIST

PLAYLIST Exercise is not my thing. I mean, it’s not that I hate hard work. I don’t mind that. But I hate mindlessly exercising. I need a purpose. For example, we are remodeling our house.

“Always make sure you change your underwear every day. If you ever have an accident you want to make sure you have on clean underwear.” So my mother said.

PUMP BOTTLES SHOULD BE OUTLAWED

Pump Bottles should be Outlawed Okay, maybe not all of them, but the tall ones should be outlawed. Let me explain. I have dry skin. I use moisturizing lotion on my skin twice a day.

KODAK AND J. CREW - SMART OR NOT

Kodak and J. Crew had an opportunity and I’m not sure either one of them effectively used it. I wanted to explore Michelle Obama’s style choices and how it might affect the average consumer. I thought “wow” for individual designers she has chosen and another “wow” for pulling it together with the... Sign in to see full entry.

GETTING CREDIT IN A BAD BANKING WORLD

When he works he works tons of... Sign in to see full entry.
