Hi Blandbutmarvellous,

Ditto. I joined SI yesterday because of Voltaire's CC posts. I think it could change our lives. Go back and read my 2 posts from today and yesterday (this is only my 3rd). I have been lurking on SI since fall of '98. I couldn't agree with you more!

Pinhil
Thanks Voltaire!

Hi blandbutmarvellous,

Thanks for the kind remarks. I must say, it is posts such as yours and the real life changes I have seen that motivate me to continue. I have a friend that is a member of the porch that is quitting his job next week so he can be with his family more and not endure the stress he has been under, did not realize he could be half invested and still make from $35,000 to $40,000 per mo. I will not reveal his name but it would shock most of the members here. Thanks again and I hope this will not be your last visit to the porch.

A family crisis hits the The Beano Family tomorrow night and it is one that most Boomers will be faced with, I wonder how many would have handled it different and far more costly not to mention the stress.

best regards,

Voltaire

Blandbutmarvellous,

Thank you!

"For what", you ask.

Thank you for giving me the perfect answer to my wife's usual questions like:

"Honey, how do you like the Super Tuna Noodle Caserolle?"

Or

"Dear, I cooked these especially for you. I found a recipe in the Time-Life Cookbook. What do you think?"

You see my bland but marvelous fellow,
you have given me the perfect answer!

Your name has save me from from several arguments and bitter discussions.

For now on, when my wife asks me my opinion of something she has cooked for me, if I slip up and reply with the dreaded word of "bland", I can quickly save myself by following through with the rest of your name,
"But Marvelous"!

Thanks again and again!
:^)

Welcome aboard.
