If you’re considering adding a pond to your home, you might be wondering whether it’s worth the time, effort, and cost.

I have a soft spot for Black pro athletes and their inability to manage money Yes, they're public figures. Yes, jocks are dumb as a box of ass hair. There is no excuse for the media—or you—to celebrate their downfall.
I’m not sure what it is but I have a soft spot for (particularly) african-american athletes and their inability to manage money well. Maybe it’s because I was surrounded by them in college and I understand them differently than others (i.e. how they grew up and what they came from). Maybe it’s because it pains me to see people mismanage money in general, and it hurts even more when the media makes a schadenfreude-laden spectacle out of high-profile cases. Or maybe it’s because I just don’t like to see people get ridiculed in the public spotlight. Let’s face it, outside of their individual fandoms, most Americans aren’t exactly cheering for…

It Happened To Me: I let my father pay me for sex My mother told me that everyone is done with me, and to please leave them alone.
I don’t remember when he started touching me, that was just always a part of our relationship. I remember when he started having sex with me. I was young. Then he stopped for a few years. Maybe he was afraid he would get caught. He started again when I was around 13. He never physically forced me, but would ask and beg. “Daddy loves you so much.” “Please do this for daddy.” “Daddy wants to make you feel good.” I was ashamed and I’m still humiliated by the fact that my body liked some of what he did to me. But I did not like it. Or want it. I…

It’s true: only men pay tax Men – all men – support women – all women – whether they like it or not.
A study from New Zealand shows fairly definitively that we (women), as a group, don’t pay any taxes. Sure, we file tax documents and have taxes deducted from our paychecks and pay out consumer taxes at the cash register, just like men do, but in the final tally, uh…well, look at this: GROSS TAX PAID + BENEFITS CLAIMED = NET TAXES PAID Let me explain. If you pay out, say, $100 every paycheck to the IRS, but every month, you claim $200 in benefits, you have not paid a single penny in tax. In fact, you have claimed twice what you have paid. You are $100 up, and the rest…
