who run the closely held operations that comprise 80% of the
North American economy will retire by 2007. It makes me wonder,

is a noble gesture, passing a business down to the next
generation is more often than not, unsuccessful. In ...

may not only seem funny but downright silly. To others, it may
be offensive also. On the surface, it does sound like a funny

serious problem that needs to be addressed.

personally known a family that has been damaged because the
husband/father pours all of his time and efforts into a job or

If you've got a few things around the house that you'd like to
spruce up but don't have the money for, you might want to
consider getting a home improvement loan.

house and the improvements themselves serve as collateral for
the loan, thus reducing the need for additional collateral to be
on the line.

You hear about automotive recalls all the time in the newspaper,
on the Internet, as well as on the nightly news. Amazingly, one
in 12 cars traveling the roads today were recalled for one
reason or another in 2003. However, even more amazing is the
fact that only one third of the owners of the recalled vehicles

NFL, NBA, MLB, person of the century, athlete of the century,

destination, best looking, best movie, best book, etc. It
doesn't stop. In fact, there are multiple ratings for the same
#1 spot because of varying value systems. Of course, each of us
has our independent rating to see if it's in agreement with ...

'Jill, this is Brenda, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but
Olivia, your mom's aide, didn't show up this morning and we've
not found a replacement for her yet.'
I was livid, it was now 1:00 in the afternoon and I was just
being informed that my mother, unable to get out of bed without
assistance, was alone.
This was not the first time this home care company had failed to
fulfill their promises or to follow my directions and what made
