You made me cry, ASSHOLE! I just went through my emails, after months. I found this. I always tell u that every child should be loved as much as Molly is, but this brought me to tears. I told both my kids that they will never understand how much I love them until they have thier own children. Gram told me that when I was little. I never understood,completely, what she meant until Sam was born. You say it much more elequently than I ever could. God Bless you and Joe, Buddy! I'm soooo happy for you guys! U SUCK!

What kind of security is in place that allows this to happen. When I contacted Dwolla regarding this theft I was told that they could not help me. They stated they were bound by the law to protect the account holder...... who stole the money. How can this be a stand up company. Ben Milne you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing such actions. Dwolla has withdrawn $2750.00 from two of my bank accounts without my

I entreat anyone even remotely considering launching their own business in the great flyover region of the US to take the risk and launch their business. Only by generating momentum will the Midwest begin to achieve critical mass and force the rest of the elite to begin paying attention. The Midwest has the talent, ethos, and ability to do just that!

I would echo Adam--quality of life, cost-of-living. For the life of me, I don't understand the hold CA has on young-middle-age techies. Don't people have kids? From what I hear, CA is a disaster and only getting worse. That aside--it is crushingly expensive. The Loyalty point is really, really good. I have always thought university towns, especially ones somewhat near cities, would be a great bet. I lived in Bloomington, Indiana, and as so many do, I loved it, and would be willing to make some sacrifice in pay to have a career there. I’ve been saying this for years.
