Money, Money, Money,

Penny Says:

My favorite virtual gal-pal, Gail Vaz-Oxlade, just released a a product that can help everyone! a budget binder / day planner - If you are still using paper day planners this needs to be the one you get because it keeps you focused on money / savings / and your budget.


I recommend reading Gail's blog - lately she has been writing almost daily - providing lots of topics for everyone to enjoy.

Also I think many people can benefit from checking out her plentiful website - budget worksheets, helpful hints, and stories! Talking about money does not have to be stressful or socially unacceptable!

Her Reality TV show, Till Debt to Us Part, is usually funny, eye-opening, and allows a little voyeurism into other Canadians lives. It airs on TV on Slice network, Or if you don't subscribe to cable TV - you can go online and watch her shows in 4 part segments (quick loading streaming) at SLICE

Gail is a kind, no-nonsense, practical lady who has revealed every trick people use to fool themselves into spending more money than they make.

I hope you enjoy her as much as we do!

Goin' to the Cup

On CFL week 7, Rider fans were elated at their 6-0 record welcoming the 'lowley' 3-3 Stampeders to do battle in Saskatchewan, laughing up a possible Grey Cup repeat victory in '08 and (maybe) a perfect season. Give me a break. That .500 Stampeders team not only beat you all at home, but went 10 - 2 the rest of the regular season ('Riders went 6-7), hosted the West Final (where were the 'Riders?), and went on to the Grey Cup . Saskatchewan was a terrible team this year, and yet none of their "most intelligent fans in the CFL" realized their team was terrible losing to a factually superior 3-3 team at home.

Fittingly, the 'Stamps go to the Finals the year I earn my Ph. D. Lovely stuff.

Quick props to the Vancouver Canucks, who finally came up with a good logo, albeit one that is regulated to their shoulder:
