Not a bad game plan, some are wondering today. Consider this as you lounge on the beach this weekend, fish in Pleasant Bay or cruise to Nantucket: With the spring graduation of thousands of college seniors, many graduates and their parents—braced today with the debilitating cost of a college degree that often has extended the traditional four years to seven so students can work off some of the debt—are asking the question: Is there a better way? Once the bloom is off the rose of graduation, the math is numbing for graduates and their parents. I feel the pain. My 22-year-old son, Brendan (a product of Nauset Regional High School) just graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I also have a daughter, Colleen, who is a junior at Elon University, a son, Conor, who will be a senior at Nauset next year, and a home equity line that is wheezing.

Beware Yahoo Personals’ deceptive billing policy
You might be wondering what a post like this is doing on a blog largely about VoIP, but bear with me. To some extent, this post is about VoIP. And athough I try not to air my consumer grievances here, I am writing this post to warn you about a practice that your knowledge of can save you some dollars. OK, first let us go back a year. My love life, my dating life, was in a rough patch. (If you want details, you buy the next pitcher). Not wanting to remain in the state I just referred to, I decided I would declare a jihad on loneliness. Being a creature of the Internet, I posted a profile on several dating sites including Yahoo! Personals. My Match.com profile soon led to a happy result. That's her photo on the top of my CPU tower. As soon as the ultimately "happy result" became quantifiable, I let my Yahoo! Personals account lapse.

6 ways to beat the breakup blues
Being alone after a breakup is a challenge, especially at holiday time. Divorce or separation after a long relationship is one of life's major stresses and can plunge you into depression and health problems. But this awareness can motivate you to find ways to make the net effect of the breakup positive. You can make this painful time into a whole new rebirth for yourself in 2008! Spend time with close friends
A UCLA study showed that being rejected activates one of the same areas of the brain as physical pain. The more ignored the people felt, the more activity they had in the anterior cingulate, which also registers physical distress. Spending time with close friends offsets the pain by causing the brain to release natural opioids, which are like the painkillers found in opium.
