Ditch those annoying ads!!! If I'm streaming music via Pandora, they mess it up. If I'm already listening to music I will sometimes even choose NOT to check GRS because it's sooo annoying. Ugh, yes!

I'm glad to hear there's still a human being committed to making this blog something good. While many of us enjoyed JD's voice and got attached to him over the years, in truth he's moved beyond 'getting rich slowly' and is no longer in a place that we can relate to. I'm sorry to lose Donna - hers was one of my favorite voices here. But the others are coming along, and I look forward to seeing where things go. Thanks for the intro, Ellen.

On an unrelated note, can 2.0 be fixed so that it loads in Firefox. All of these START SAVING! links are covering the text, and I can't read half the article or get to the forums easily.

Regarding Donna Freedman, she notified me about 10 days ago that she won't be able to contribute to GRS any longer. She wants to concentrate on her own site, <a href="http://www.donnafreedman.com" rel="nofollow">www.DonnaFreedman.com</a>, and of course she's writing her column, <a href="http://money.msn.com/frugal-living/http://" rel="nofollow">Frugal Nation</a>, every day on MSN.com. Donna was the first contributor to GRS, and we know she's a favorite of the readers. Our loss!
