My employer is a big supporter of the American heart Association. This is a cause very very close to home for me. Quite a few female members (including my dear departed mother) died from heart disease and I myself have recently been diagnosed with it. Please if your reading make whatever size donation you can to prevent more needless suffering and death from bad hearts.

Oh really now?

Is this an effective use of the Congress's time in Washington?

Investingating professional basball and now they are asking the Justice Department to investigate if Roger Clemens lied to them.

Skyrocketing inflation, a war overseas and your worried about a bunch of overpriced sports players using growth hormones?

Stress - can you eat that with or without chocolate?

What to talk about today??? How about some stress? Here are my stressors not necessarily in order

#1 - my job

#2 my SO G has been living with me for 2 months and I swear some days it is more stressful than my job.

#3 - my finances. One of my biggest priorities is to get everything under control.

#4 the biggest. On Monday G & I became home owners. For me its my first time owning. While I am very excited its is very scary. I'm trying to set up a budget, I have a list of priorities and I keep changing my mind. I'm planning on putting aside $1,000 for an emergency fund. I'm not sure how old the home is but I bet its from the 70's (based on the teal blue tub and bathroom sink). I know the furnace is about that old and you know what they like to do? Yeah break and cost you money to fix or replace them.
