An article on the crowd of resellers who circumvent the rules to buy merchandise at Nordstrom's Last Chance. I've been to the store a few times; it's good to know that there's a reason I wasn't impressed. Still, I smell tv series potential! Or murder mystery plot.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor is totally bleeding heart and empathic, all. Ha ha. And as aggressive as Scalia. I totally want to go to a Supreme Court session on vacation now.

The story of the woman who has been living off the grid in York, PA for 17 years and raising her kids as prisoners is creepy fascinating for me. There was a similar story of hidden children in Vandalia, OH about 10 years ago, and I always wanted to know what happened to them.
A calendar featuring cats wearing fashion. I won't pay $50, but they are adorable.
Are you a poor-aholic? Considering that I always keep working at Dunkin' Donuts or the like in mind as what will happen to me as my next job, I will say, yes, I am a poor-aholic. But I think this is a common issue for women, this tendency to assume that it's not skills but luck that keep us solvent.
