Comics

-

I saw it on Google, on Twitter, on the news… but the beauty simply made me want to post it on my blog also.
Marvel Comics. Essentially FREE for a month (just skip a cup of coffee).

Even WIRED reported it as "You Can Now Pay 99 Cents to Read 15,000 Marvel Comics Online" and so I share it with you.

Sure, you only get access for a month, but what a month! Put Netflix movies on hold. Set those novels aside. Crank up your computer or tablet and read thousands of Marvel comics by spending less than a dollar (the same amount you need to get off that crazy Candy Crush level - c'mon, you know you do it once in a while).

My eldest son is a comic EXPERT - really - and is slowly becoming a human comic collage as his finances and his tattoo artist can get around to it. Too bad he is not able to enjoy this deal right now. I think he'd love it.

I'm going to go read comics now - and remember what fun I had spending a dime on them the first time around.

Excelsior!



Yeah, not quite the same quality art as modern comics...

One more thing: If you want to go read a whole lot of really OLD comics - yeah, the kind I read as a kid, thanks, and please stop the dinosaur jokes (dinosaurs were no joke back then), you can read them free at The Digital Comic Museum, bless their hearts.

Why I cancelled The Bauman Letter

I signed up for The Bauman Letter, edited by Ted Bauman and read it for a few months. His father is a well-known member of The Sovereign Society and Ted contributed for years. I like Ted's writing style and read his letter for the nuggets of information I could glean. One month he recommended a company in Australia for holding my gold. If I had a hundred grand in gold, maybe I'd go that route. Then again, maybe I'd bury it in the back yard like the old Romans. I cancelled his newsletter after reading his October issue. Ted posted ten pages of glowing prose for the 1291 Group of the Americas . I was impressed by his report and thought this might be a company I could park my IRA with and not worry about it. (We've been burned by local investment advisors who lost large chunks of our investment and still took their overly fair share of fees, so we're hyper-cautious.) Ted especially praised Erika Nolan, the CEO of this prestigious firm. Ted forgot to menti

FBAR Scam, but not illegal

-

FBAR (not to be confused with FUBAR, but the one can lead to the other) is a government required Foreign Bank Account Reporting that you must file if you have one or more foreign bank accounts that total more than $10,000 in assets. It is another of the methods the USA uses to track illegal drug trafficking money. I won't comment on how effective it all is, but there is a sort-of scam you need to be aware of. Yeah, you didn't want to read all that. Here's the scam. If you google FBAR, the very first link reads: Fbar Filing - FinCEN Foreign Bank Accounts Form - eFileFBAR.com and links to www.efilefbar.com. Don't click it! It's a legitimate link and they ask you all the correct FBAR questions. When you finish, they want you to pay them $350 to file for you ! Go to the FREE Government Link The government web site asks exactly the same questions, in exactly the same order and then lets you file for  FREE  with the USA. So what the "efilefbar

Mister BoJangles

I l istened to Mister Bojangles by Bob Dylan the other day as I walked. I wanted to be him, to dance, leap so high and lightly touch down. The song continued and I realized I am his beloved companion, the dog. YOU, Darling, are Mr Bo Jangles. Dance, dear heart. Dance. Then lightly touch down. I love you forever.
