DOUG'S BIRTHDAY CARNIVAL

March 27, 2006

Help Mom celebrate big brother's birthday this week by visiting one of our favorite carnivals!

The Carnival of Personal Finance is up at "Financial Baby Steps." I like the "Desparate Measures for Grocery Budgeting" post that tells how you can use gift cards to keep within your budget. That does sound desparate, but it's make sense in a strange way. Lots of other good savings and investing posts.

This week's Carnival of the Capitalists is also up at Decker Marketing. My favorite post there this week is on why you shouldn't be snotty to "underlings" - The Art of Sucking Down. Here's an excerpt:

A friend who worked at O'Hare International Airport told me this story. He once watched a passenger absolutely scream at an airline ticket agent. The ticket agent, however, remained completely calm. After the tirade was over, my friend asked her how she could remain so calm, and she said, “That's easy. He's going to Paris, but his bags are going to Sydney.”

The post adds some great advice for most social interactions: "Make them smile."

Lots of other good posts.
