I've found for me that best solution is both risky and low risk stocks. I often times put about half of my investments into low risk mutual funds that grow over time and the other half in high risk high gain stocks. I recently got into day trading and I discovered that <a href="http://www.stockmarketsoftwareblog.com" rel="nofollow">software stock picks </A>are the most reliable as they can automate a process that I cant do quickly enough. The fellows over at stockmarketsoftwareblog.com have a fantastic system. You might want to check them out! Its amazing to me how many ways you could go about investing your money.

Love this post! You forgot the people who hog the armrests. Hello? This is NOT a Barkolounger?!?! Also, the international families and/or first time fliers who don't know to bring a pacifier or sucker/gum to keep their kids from screaming the entire flight. (On a recent flight to L.A., I handed a couple two suckers and pointed to their babies ears. I had three people on the plane thank me out loud.) Ha ha ha! Love this post!

I don't think that it would ever happen, but I'll make a note to never fly on a plane with Amy. The train ride is the best part by far...unless there's acutally a little old lady sitting on the seat part on the front and/or back of the train car becayse then you have to grab that greasy pole so you don't fall all over the dude standing next to you. How bout the awkward head back on the "head rest", eyes closed, doing that fake "I'm asleep" thing so you don't have to talk to the lady next to you...all the while you can't help but to open one eye every now and then to peek to see if they are still flipping through the tax free in-flight shopping mag...

Dude, if you don't have that skill mastered by now, you probably had to ride the short bus to the airport.

He still looks at me like "which one is she going to pick" every time we come to the intersection of walking or riding. I think he secretly hopes I'm going to give in every time.

You can sit anywhere you want. It's first come first serve. And he gets on the plane and looks at his "seat number," which is actually is his zone number, and sees that B33 is indeed a middle seat between two overweight males. He sits there with window and aisle seats open throughout the plane. Those two men were not happy with me. Needless to say, i was not happy with myself either. I then punched a child.
