    i never bothered to learn how to drive, i couldnt be asked. do you think this will one day be problematic for me?

    *rob*

    Yes, if you actually have to drive.

  2. Regarding typing, I know you all think that I am so young, but I entered the financial services industry when women did NOT generally do professional jobs. They generally had to FIGHT to get into those ranks, risking the wrath of those who did not like anything that remotely resembled a FEMINIST orientation.

    I wanted badly to get into the financial services industry after working in social services for a few years after college and I figured that I would barge into things by being someone’s assistant and I went to a secretarial course for college graduates. I could type like a bat out of hell with no mistakes and I also learned a form of stenography. I got hired and the secretarial part lasted for about 2 weeks, then I got registrations etc. But I can still type really fast and can type in the dark.

  3. randi, thank you for that. Very interesting.

    Legion…CHECK THIS OUT…….

    “Canadian scientists detected drug-resistant MRSA bacteria in bedbugs from three hospital patients from a downtrodden Vancouver neighborhood.”

  4. It’s impossible to return to the gold standard. if you want, I can shoot you a well written piece as to why.

    Again, gold is the metal to hold for uncertain times, NOT silver. Silver may go up more for brief periods, as we’ve recently seen but it will also go down more, as we also recently saw.

  5. Legion, I could then layer in different levels. Like, if you make it through Flatbush Avenue, then you get to negotiate bike lanes on major, highway-like, non-highways like 4th Avenue, and third Avenue. Ok do a K turn on Vanderbilt Avenue without squashing the bikes who come barrel-assing behind you, avoid pothole and double parked car without squashing the bike going through the red light the wrong way.
