Cinderella Pension Plans

I'm not so sure I want Cinderella doing my financial planning. But, then again, how much worse could she do than the giants on Wall Street?

"...You''ll remember the classic tale of Cinderella. She was the maiden who was mistreated by her stepsisters and stepmother. Each day, she catered to their daily needs and tended to the household chores without complaint. No one paid much attention to the plight and attributes of Cinderella.

Enter the Fairy Godmother. She revealed the true beauty of Cinderella, who then unwittingly captured the heart of Prince Charming and became his bride. In the end, there was regret for how poorly Cinderella had been treated, and all of her positive attributes were finally recognized and appreciated.

Are pensions the Cinderella of retirement plans? That is, the retirement plan that works hard yet its true value is under appreciated. ..."


Whatever you do, don't ask me for financial advice. - UT

Time to run with scissors (one of those forwards!)

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

"First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

Poe and poetry, one has a birthday Monday

I never noticed how much taller Ernie Pyle is than Edgar Allan Poe.

Action figures photo copyright © 2009 by Anthony Buccino, all rights reserved. Pyle and Poe

But seriously, Monday is the 200th anniversary of Poe's birth, so, we should all celebrate with something macabre, no? Perhaps brick up a relative, or dust off the pendulum.



Me, I'll be checking for black cats and listening to black birds raving about his poetry.

Some Advice

Here's one of those emails that goes round and round ... but this one is kind of useful.
(It doesn't matter if any of these stories are true, but they COULD be.)


 This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology.

GPS
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their
car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money
and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard.

When the victims got home, they found that their house had been
ransacked and just about everything worth anything had
been stolen.

The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then
used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean up the house.
It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of  its contents.

MOBILE PHONE
I never thought of this.......
This lady has now changed her habit of how she
lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her
handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet...  etc...
was stolen.

20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a
pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a
little while ago.'

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff
told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had
actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact
list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had
withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and
the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey,
Hubby,
Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.... And very
importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts,
CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being text by friends or
family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful
about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

*PLEASE PASS THIS ON
* I never thought about THAT! As of now, I no
longer have 'home' listed on my cell phone.

<<< Uncle Tonoose always wonders who the "I" is in these emails. Why doesn't anyone give credit to the first person who actually wrote the darn thing? >>>

That poor doggie on the cover - brilliant cover!

cover courtesy R Winters

We had nearly forgotten that black and white doggie on the cover of that National Lampoon magazine ... from our youth.

Then we discover there's a web site with so many of those incredible National Lampoon covers!

Some people bemoan trashed baseball cards, we bemoan those trashed NatLamp mags!

If only we knew then that they would be so rare, so valuable ... we'd be in Key West with a key lime pie and a key to the Corvette! Ooh wee, Ooh wee!

ClaimYourGas.Scam Free Gas Cards For Grandpa

UPDATE: Grandpa took his ClaimYourGas.com forms and handed them to the owner of the Nutley Buick dealer saying the program is a rip-off, that he'd have to spend $100 a month to get back $25 each month for the next one and one-half years.

It's sure unlikely that Grandpa or anyone in his family will buy a Buick or General Motors vehicle of any kind from the Nutley Buick dealer. Ever.

Too bad this promotion ended on a downside. How can you promise an 80-plus year-old man $450 of gasoline and tell him he has to buy $1,800 worth of gas to get his loyalty gas credit.

The franchise owner insisted that his customers are clamoring to get into the ClaimYourGas.Scam program.

If you get to Washington Avenue in Nutley, N.J., you should stop in and ask them about the program. While you're there, kick a few tires.
