Military And NFL!
Do you all remember when the Detroit Lions drafted Caleb Campbell? He was the seventh-round draft pick for the Lions in this year’s draft. Now the U.S Military is changing their policy to place him back to full-time traditional military duties. The Army had a policy that would have let him take the role as a recruiter. The Army sent a letter to the Detroit Lions stating that Campbell would has been ordered to give up professional football. So he can server in more of an active Army role. The Army also stated that he could ask to be released in May of 2010. So I guess their will be no more players being drfted from the Army and Navy teams.
Retire Today!
I’m like most people and would love to retire at a young age to do everything I want. Think about it, no more work and living a worry free financial life. When I retire I would like to own two homes. One would be near Disney World, for the grand kids and me. The other would be maybe in an area with mountains surrounding me. This would be my dream for retirement. What’s yours? The problem would be saving and investing now to make that dream come true. And I think I found the company that can help me meet my long-term goals, and yours. The company is Northern Trust, which offers philanthropic services and a lot more. Northern Trust is someone to seriously considering using. Make sure you check them out today.
McDonald’s Stock Up!
McDonald’s - which is the world’s largest restaurant chain had a higher second-quarter profit than expected. They had a net income of $1.2 billion, which comes out to $1.04 per share. The same period last year they lost around $711 million. Now let me tell you the real reason why their stock will continue to rise. It’s a no brainier; no one can afford to eat out anymore. That dollar menu looks great after you just spend $100 to fill your car up. As long as gas prices remain high no one will be at those sit-down restaurants. It also seems like that eating off the dollar menu is cheaper than eating at home.
Playing Paintball!
Did you ever play paintball? I sure did, and it was a blast. About 10 of us would get together every Saturday and Sunday and have the time of our lives playing paintball. We would always play capture the flag. I can remember one time playing when I was shot in the side by a paintball that left a huge welt. The pain from this paintball stayed with me for like 3 days. I came to find out later that my best friend had frozen paintballs. He shot me with his Tippmann 98 Custom with a sniper barrel from about 30 yards away. The Tippmann 98 Custom is a powerful paintball gun. Now I’ve been shot by paintballs a lot, but I never felt pain like that. Any ways, if you want to see what paintball guns looks like, click the link. You may even end up getting one for yourself. I would love to get together again to play more paintball.
