My test for how rich you are is how well you can survive a financial emergency (not including job loss).
Say someone in your family needs $100,000 to pay for a kidney transplant. How would you raise that? If you have assets you could downgrade, like going from a 4,000 sq ft house to a 2,000 sq ft house but you would be fine otherwise? I consider you rich. If you can stop buying a new car every three years to cover it? You are rich. If you have nothing you could sell or stop doing and will have to go into massive debt, you are probably middle class or lower.
Yeah, it isn't a perfect guide, but the point is actually having things of value is part of what makes you rich. Having things of value based solely on debt you can't manage makes you stupid. Getting interviewed complaining about how poor you are with your $80,000 car makes you a prick.
I have been waiting for it, too! After the stupid chipped cup in the last episode, I was just so ready to see what showed up here!
Has anyone seen this new anti-Romney ad from Santorum? It is about mudslinging, and the final scene has Romney with a big splat of mud on him, and the voice over says, "in the end, it's going to backfire." And all I can think of is the meaning of Santorum, and what the hell were they thinking? [www.youtube.com]

This is the evidence that you can make jokes about rape that work and are funny. The punchline is that people who think rape is ok are fucking idiots. When other comedians make jokes where the punchline is a *ha ha* a chick got raped! *ha ha*, that isn't funny. It isn't that hard to figure it out.
ET in a tree, the Virgin Mary in a pancake, Abe Lincoln in a potato chip. I don't think you can dispute this evidence of a higher power.
Is Nikki Minaj even Catholic? If she is, then whatever, it's just boring and unclever. But if she is not, she should know it is not actually subversive to mock someone else's religion. You have to have some skin in game to make it actually mean something.
Kanye West publicly embarrassed poor Taylor, resulting in her career skyrocketing and her becoming one of the top 5 artists on the charts! All Chris Brown did was send someone to the hospital. You see the difference there? Also, white and blond. Probably mostly that last bit.
United has the ticket at $800 roundtrip for first class.
I think he could do it. He can act. Of course, Natalie Portman has an Oscar, but you would never guess it from Amidala. Lucas is a bad director.
The guy who plays Alaric on Vampire Diaries looks so much like Harrison Ford, he has probably been told he looks like Han Solo his entire life. He could do it.
The very first album I ever bought was The Greatest Love of All (and Thriller at the same time) to listen to on my brand new Sony Walkman. It was money I had saved up. I listened to that tape til it broke.
The days of being an X-Phile were so fun. Going into IRC .alt chat rooms in college was the best.
Yes, the insurance company would be on the hook for the contraception costs.
That 98% statistic is not about using hormonal contraception, it is about using ANY form of contraception. Contraception is defined to include withdrawl and periodic abstinence. Just to be clear on that. [www.guttmacher.org]
When any employer offers health insurance, the employee pays for part and the employer pays for part. Originally, the law would have required the employer to pay their share for an insurance policy that includes contraception. The church said, "We don't want to put our money towards birth control. You can't make us do it." So now, the law will be, the employee pays for part, the (religious) employer pays for part, and the insurance company pays a little part that covers birth control.
Result: Employee pays the same, but gets contraception covered; Employer pays just a little bit less; Insurance company chips in the difference needed to cover contraception.
So yes, your employer does pay for some of your health care services if you get insurance through work, since they have to pay essentially half the cost of the policy. But unless your employer is a religious organization, it won't really have any impact on them, unless your health care plan did NOT include contraception. Now, they are just required to choose a health care plan that includes contraception.
They work on a case-by-case basis to determine if an underage model is ready for the catwalk- if she will bring in the money, she will walk.
In the 1930's, choreographer George Balanchine became the powerhouse of ballet, and changed the definition of what a ballet dancer should look like. Prior to that, what you would consider a more typical body type was the norm in ballet. After him, the very very skinny body became the norm. So no, ballet does not require the current preferred body type.
It's still 4 out of 5. There are just 3 out of 4 who hide it well.
Blueprint!! That one was awesome!
When I was in high school (1989), I came upon a crowd watching two older boys circling each other. In my naive head, I assumed everyone was hoping they wouldn't fight, so without thinking, I stepped between these guys, each at least a foot taller than me, put a hand on each of their chests and told them to stop. They looked at each other and commented on me being crazy, then started to walk away, laughing. Then I felt arms around my waist from behind, I was picked up off the ground and put outside the circle. The boys were shoved back together despite clearly not wanting to fight, I was called a lot of really mean names, and the fight went on without me. It was the last time I broke up a serious fight with guys bigger than me.
