Our insurance premiums are just increasing.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for linking to the Time article about Facebook. I needed a good laugh, and I laughed several times.<BR/><BR/>Vivian<BR/>http://vivianzabel.blogspot.comVivian Zabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129178812565073972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-6669094344470456412009-02-21T22:59:00.000-08:002009-02-21T22:59:00.000-08:00Marilyn,Glad you love the post!

I feel sorry for these people who were duped by him. My brother, who is in the financial world was lucky enough not to get into this scheme. I am happy about that. I don't have any money to invest, so my family is not really touched. It is horrible that there was so little regulation that this could have happened!!

I keep thinking about all of the stories I am seeing about the victims...one, a 90-year-old man who lost everything, had been retired for over 20 years...back to work as a greeter in a grocery store. <BR/><BR/>Something is incredibly wrong with our system.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090687138872179144noreply@blogger.com
