Amateur Asset Allocator wrote an excellent post called You can’t judge an action by the result. A good read.
Brip Blap had a great post on raising kids called why you shouldn’t worry about your children’s future. Basically he is saying that you can’t influence every aspect of your kid.
Lazy Man is getting flack from the scamsters at Mona Vie for highlighting the fact that they are a 100% scam. This could be a good topic for our “scam” category.

Thanks for the mention Mike, have a good weekend!
Hey Mike. Thanks for mentioning the book.
Hopefully your readers will find the information helpful.
Thanks so much for the mention! I also encourage everyone, especially bloggers and webmasters, to tune into LazyMan’s story (above). Some kind of lesson about blogging about companies, that’s for sure. Free speech vs. Metadata!
Thanks for the mention, Mike! I’ll second MoneyEnergy – I’d love to see Lazy Man be able to stick it to a company that’s trying to squash a post he wrote purely because they don’t like it – not because it says anything defamatory or incorrect.
