Your opinions don't count after all." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Therefore expecting the same nominal returns we have seen in the stock market since 1960 is expecting a lot more in real terms. Plots of historical stock price indexes in the media are almost invariably shown in nominal terms, not the real inflation-corrected terms shown in the figures in this book. Consumer prices have increased sixfold since 1960 and seventeenfold since 1913. This inflation imparts a strong upward trend to long-run historical plots of stock price indexes, if they are not corrected for inflation." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

On the positive side, this suggests that if we switch the C02 'kettle' off quickly, we can probably avoid hitting three degrees for another century at least.

All her life, she's had anxiety sensitivity, and as her marriage crumbled it only intensified.

"Those expectations are almost never met when people continue to do all the wrong things and simply pop the latest "miracle" weight loss pill expecting flab to "melt off by itself. Guess what? It doesn't. So let's be clear: If a person is going to eat 7,000 calories of fast food a day, then these four supplements aren't going to do a thing.
