Wow, a lot of great advice! And I was already fairly certain that the only "once-size-fits-all" bit of advice was probably from Douglas Adams... "Don't Panic".



Actually, already spied it, and...

If you could rewind the clock and redo the the first 3 months (or whatever time period you prefer) following your little bubbies birth... what would you do differently?

My overreaction was intentional. I didn't want to waste time talking about India anymore. Even if the example was imperfect, I didn't think the example was core to the argument. I felt like if you...

Ok, fine. Inda sucks. We should declare another Holy War on India and liberate the Christians. Instead of using India, let's talk about... oh, I don't know, Canada.

I suppose I've got a similar story. I've met several RL friends through my past forum jaunts. But it seems in recent years that the appeal of re-re-returning to forums will wane.

Why is it OK to bailout Citi, but not auto companies?

First off, I'm against all bail-outs. I think they're a sham.

But I don't understand why it's so easy to drop 100's of billions on Citi, but it's OMIGOSH out of the question to give 25 billion to...

Sorry, no real deep meaning to this post. It's just to give a little room for a exasperated mental sigh.

It's no surprise, but that doesn't make it less frustrating, but after enjoying a year of...

What is wrong with you people?

Ok, admittedly I've been out-of-the-loop for a while, since I've been working in China the past 2.5 years. But seriously, I cannot believe what I see on CNN.
