Doesn't not having kids present extra health risks later in life for women? I vaguely recall something about that.

Could be, now that you mention it, I do recall hearing something about that. Like Jobs, my aunt also delayed kemo by a few weeks, but she had already been through it before. Even had she run right in for it, the prognosis wasn't good given that the cancer returned so quickly and they didn't have much left to remove.

I don't want to give the impression that taking care of one's self is useless, just that shit happens sometimes even when you do.

clambo,

I like your list. There is probably some "tongue in cheek" humor there...but there's also a lot of truth to what you say.

Save $$$
Don't overspend
Resist debt
Don't buy things you don't need
Stay healthy
Buy used.

Now if we could just teach congress-critters the first four items on my list above. Oh well, so much for wishful thinking.

Damn, I've been doing 14 of the 17 things on your list since I was 22, and I'm not proud of it. Well maybe 15 since Apple is in the S&P500.

You liberal dummies are either not paying attention to the deterioration of America...or are actively supporting it.

Its the latter, isn't it?

Yawn. Others have pointed out that we would agree.

The thing is, in my view the single biggest problem is that we don't respect real debate or have enough intelligent conversations about what is going on.

You Abe are basically a poster boy for the dumbing down of political discourse and the right wing's penchant for boiling things down to stupid and evil little sound bytes to be consumed by the likes of CS, Bap and you, and many others who are even less perceptive.
