I’ve started a new blog about what I’m learning in the world of finances. Its a rather transparent blog about what I don’t know, what I do know, and what I want to learn. You can read it by going to WatchMyMoneyMaker.com. I’m going to be doing some interviews soon to create an audio podcast as well. I still need to work up a site style & theme, but there is already some writing up for you to peruse, critique and evaluate. Also, if you’ve got questions about various principles or things you want to learn more about shoot me an email and I’ll do my best to research the answer so I can learn and you can learn, too!

Fridge Borked – Sears More Borked than the Swedish Chef
So this weekend our fridge (which is just slightly older than two years) just totally stopped fridging and turned into a room-temperature-ator. Fortunately we have a special service warranty on our fridge. That way Sears can come out and service and take care of it. So I called up and attempted to get service quickly. Ha ha! Silly me. Why would I want cold foods? Room temperature is the way to go. Sears can’t schedule anyone to come out to my house until Tuesday late in the evening. So I scheduled for Wednesday morning which was a more convenient time for me. Not really, but since I’m going to have to go out to my garage fridge to get anything that I need to keep cold, I might as well do it an extra day so that the repairman can come when I’m home.
The other upside with my Sears call was that the guy on the other end of the phone barely spoke legible English. I have no idea what his name was, but his thick Spanish accent made ‘Greg’ a little bit hard to believe as his name. At least it wasn’t Peter Parker.
