I'm sure you'll get better over time, but for someone who's never really done a lot of public speaking before I think you're doing well. Keep up the great work!

If it hasn't already been recommended, I heartily suggest joining Toastmasters--it's really just the ticket for what you need. http://www.toastmasters.org/websiteApps/ Really--you should look up a club. It'll hone your speaking skills, and membership is actually pretty low priced ($27 every 6 months, $20 new member fee for materials, etc.) It can transform people's reaction to speaking from fear into toleration, and toleration into enjoyment.

It really is a neat little "car" that our friend built! Its concept has sparked a lot of debate among my readers. Call it what you want, but it is working out just fine as a daily driver for the builder here in Maine. He even uses it during the cold winter months. Using a conventional "moped" or "scooter" for this would not really be feasible. Regards, Ben Thanks for linking to the article!

I decided to make myself a homemade 'Moped.' It really isn't a moped so much as a power-assited street legal bicycle. I never knew about them until I saw one in craigslist. You can get a 49cc or 80cc engine kit off eBay for $90 shipped. All you need is a bike to strap it on. It gets 105 miles to a gallon plus it looks pretty sweet. - Neko Interesting about the car.

I hated the idea of having debt introduced into my life. I have a credit card now and it's an extremely valuable tool. I get rebates on my purchases. I can buy overseas relatives gifts from their neck of the woods. Most importantly, I can auto-pay my bills more easily with a credit card on time every time. I keep an account specifically for paying off the credit card that has a minimum balance of my credit limit. Each week, the amount of money I spend on the credit card goes into this account. Each month, I've earned interest on my credit card payments. Now if only it was free to have a credit card... I lived for many years without a credit card and with strong resentment for owning one.
