I love Tybee’s painting, it is so gentle and peaceful and just plain pretty.
That is cool catherin’s woodcut has appreciated. I am never in any mind that the art I buy will appreciate.

do not know. I highly doubt that is public information, which doesn’t mean it isnt happening.

Why don’t you use your contacts at Princeton to see if it is tainted in this way? Report back, I am i...

I am so glad you bought that painting!

I looked at a painting for months on ebay, made an offer that was countered too high, and I never got the painting because it sold later. I still think about...

RE: degrading higer education

I was shocked and horrified to hear Quatar is pouring tons of money into elite American Universities. I heard this from one of Bari Weiss’ interviewees. This was in a...

The Iranian regime is shit. Many of its citizens long for a more open society, one they knew before the Allytolah took over.

As I mentioned previously, I’m spending craptons of money furnishing our Hermann house. It often gives me an icky feeling.. Is this entirely necessary purchasing? Well, not really, but what’s the...

We think Chicago is expensive! I always thought Dallas was flyover-country cheap, tho.

oh rosa, I am sorry to hear your mother is entering this end phase of life.I’m glad you and your sister are there to help her through it. You are being proactive! Good for you.

For many/most of the clients who talk to Ramit and Dave Ramsey they already own a house, so that’s where some of the pushback about ignoring credit comes from.

buying a house with cash is not all...

when your employee makes a massive media push to diss his employer, it’s not unreasonable to suspend him. I actually figured he just gets straight out fired.

With all the interviews coming out now, today I learned that the man who was the ghost writer for OJ‘s book was the same guy who gave key testimony AGAINST OJ at the trial. The guy said he heard a...

i’ve known a few Christian Scientists casually and they are pretty live and let live people. In my city neighborhood we had a son of Elsah who was active in our neighborhood for a while. We had a...

I can see you becoming a Christian scientist. You are a clean living non-hedonistic healthy person! . I don’t think I could become a Christian scientist. Even though I can’t drink at the moment...

Maybe the flooding explains the new flooring

They probably can’t get insurance, so that’s why it’s so cheap? I don’t know.

Hmmmm, do you see anything instructional in this story?

Both Dave Ramsey and Ramit Sethi scold their callers about worrying about a credit rating. In their worlds people do not buy things on credit. But isnt a credit rating used for things other than...
