Goodbye Blogger ~ Hello WordPress

Blogger has gotten comfortable - Maybe too comfortable. I've been blogging here for over a year. My first post was published on July 15, 2008. I've learned a lot about how Blogger works and I've also learned its limitations. But most importantly, I've learned how blogging works and I'm hooked! It's been fun here, but it's time to move on.

Please visit my new blog, Health Talk Today. It's the same old name with a fresh, new look. I've imported all the old posts for easy access and archived all the newsletters and health links.

And so, I'm off on a new adventure. Drop by Health Talk Today any time. The welcome mat is always out.

BUT WAIT! before you go, take a few minutes to leave a comment and say "Goodbye."

Welcome Perrie Meno-Pudge

Welcome to my new friends, Joanne Fsadni and Barbara Kimmel, co-creators of Perrie Meno-Pudge. Baby boomers will appreciate the mid-life humor of Perrie Meno-Pudge. The cartoons bring back memories of the "Good Old Days."

This is one of my favorite Perrie Meno-Pudge cartoons. Many years ago, my parents owned an antique shop in Miami, Florida. The shop has been closed for a long time, but I still remember row after row of old oak furniture and collectibles. Dad loved clocks, so the walls were lined with them - Most of them ticking, chiming and striking the hour.

Visit Perrie Meno-Pudge to view all the cartoons - And tell them Health Talk Today sent you.

How Much is One Trillion Dollars?

A really long time ago, I remember when $20 in my wallet seemed like a lot of money. By the time my family was growing and the economy was booming, I needed $100 when I was shopping. Today, I need a credit card.

There's a lot on the news lately about the federal budget and the national debt. I remember when a million dollars sounded like a lot of money. Then, it was a billion. Now, I often hear a trillion dollars on the news. How much money is that? Watch the video to learn more . . .

You need to add your bank, credit card, home loan and investment account information - Not something I recommend. Then, Mint pulls in your balances, purchases, stock trades, etc. to give you a complete picture of your finances.
