The Pros and Cons of Marrying a Handyman
My husband is a problem solver! Before we married I had no idea just how passionate about cars he is. Combine that with a hyper observant personality and he never misses something in need of fixing. Throughout our marriage he has tried, with little success, to help me see for myself how fascinating car maintenance can be. It’s not that I hate cars – I admire the engineering, artistry, and safety features that go into their creation – I just have other subjects I am interested in and have no desire to take this one on. After observing him for over 5 years now I have discovered the following pros and cons of marrying a handyman/mechanic.

How to Use Costco to Pick Stocks
For many years Costco has had net sales of over $100 Billion with over 750 warehouses worldwide (http://investor.costco.com/). Anyone who has ever shopped at one of these warehouses knows that they are constantly packed with an efficient system of helping shoppers complete their purchases. The products offered both through their website and in their warehouses are high quality and adequately packaged for both consumer and wholesaler use. Although the warehouses feel like they go on forever they do have limited storage space requiring Costco to be selective in the products they offer. With this type of distribution power investors can look to Costco as an indicator of which stocks to buy.

How to Emotionally Survive Cancer
My family history is riddled with cancer diagnoses. A decade before I was born my maternal grandfather died painfully after a long fight with bone cancer. When I was a teenager, I had one aunt diagnosed with breast cancer and my paternal grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer which eventually spread to his lungs. He died when I was 15 but my aunt was able to beat her cancer and has been in remission for over 20 years. After 40+ years as a smoker my father was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of lung cancer that resulted in a tumor that took over half of his one lung. Fortunately, through aggressive chemotherapy and radiation he beat his lung cancer diagnosis but sadly it had already spread to his lymphatic system and he is currently fighting a rare new type of cancer.
