Can we spend our way out of this recession?

With unemployment hanging sadly at 10 percent (higher when you consider unemployed part-time workers and underemployed workers), President Barack Obama has unveiled his latest plan to keep the economic recovery on the move by focusing on investing in jobs. The president has recommended we take $200…

Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas Jesus . My Dad used to read me this from the Bible every Christmas Eve when I was a little girl. The Christmas Story

Is a college degree worth the cost (and the debt)?

nospam@example.com () — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:26:14 -0800

A glut of college degrees combined with tough economic times and a record-high 10.6-percent unemployment rate among college grads is causing many to ask whether a college degree is worth its crazy-fast-rising price tag.

Since two-thirds of college kids leave school with debt (now averaging $23,000) at a time when even low-paying entry level jobs are hard to come by, it's a natural question to ask.

Being happy at work is, of course, quite related to how much you like your job, but there are small steps you can take to boost your mood. Maintaining the comfort of your body, sprinkling a few small pleasures throughout your day, using your time wisely – a little thought can mean a lot more happiness at work.

As Samuel Johnson observed, “It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery, and as much happiness as possible.”

Is regifting ever okay?

nospam@example.com () — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:18:41 -0800

Is regifting an acceptable practice, or is it rude and unspeakably tacky? REDBOOK's advice guru, Karen Karbo, gives tips on how to handle a regifter.

Q: My stepsister is a notorious regifter. Once, she even regifted a Christmas present of expensive perfume I'd bought for her and gave it to our stepmom for her birthday. For my last birthday, she gave me this awful glass platter that my stepmom told me my stepsister got from a company for hosting one of their product parties (you know, like a Tupperware party). I always select a gift for her that I think she'll like, and it hurts to know that she cares so little for me or my feelings that I get her discarded presents. Is there any way I could talk to her about this that isn't offensive? —A.R., 29, Newport News, VA

Jenny Sanford controls her story, announces she has filed for divorce

nospam@example.com () — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:07:09 -0800

From the start, all of us at Yahoo! Shine have been so impressed with how Jenny Sanford has handled the public spectacle her fake-Appalachian-Trail-hiking-governor husband has made of their marriage. Not only did she not stand by South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford when he made his bizarre mea culpa to the press and voters after he had disappeared for days to Argentina to be with his lover over Father's Day weekend, but she personally issued her own statement at the time. She made it clear that while she would work on reconciliation with her philandering husband, her dignity and her sons and how they are affected by their family crisis would come first.

As the world has yet to hear from Elin Nordegren, who has been terribly and publicly betrayed by her husband, Tiger Woods, Jenny Sanford issued another statement today, announcing that she has filed for divorce.

Dear Lord, Please give me the strength to get out of the nightmare that my husband has put me into. My lip and mouth were busted and are now beginning to heal. When I try to eat, it begins to bleed all over again. His mother lives with us and told me that…
