I got VA State Tax Forms pre-printed. For a small fee, I can use the library printers if I need to print something out. It sure beats going to Kinko’s and feeding the meter on top of paying for the copies. My municipal library has a lot of great services and I see families there [...]

He reminds me to evaluate a job offer for fair remuneration for myself as a company offering services to the job market. I urge all of you to do the same.

Amy Blair is hilarious. I found her through Craig of Craigslist. Animal NY is her new location, but the archives at BlackTable are deliciously snarky. Mind you, NSFW. Not really because of her, but because of the underbelly of humanity and all their bad grammar and misspellings.

CNN/Money has the article.
There is a seasonal changeover with gasoline additives that is hitting us really hard right now. The problem is with MTBE, which is a fuel additive in the cold months.

Single Ma is a kick in the pants. Mine and yours.
