RE: Kitchenaid,

For what it’s worth, I got mine on eBay and even after shipping (And it’s heavy, so shipping was pricey!) it was a great deal used.

I saved up and bought one five years ago, and it may be the single best purchase I've ever made. I use it at least once a week and often more than that. It makes the task of making homemade bread so much easier. I stick to eating homemade bread (SO MUCH healthier and less expensive) because the mixer makes such easy work of it. It also makes the holiday cookie marathon much easier to bear! My sister has my mother's Kitchen Aid stand mixer. My mother used hers at least weekly to make bread, etc., and now my sister uses it all the time. That mixer has at least 30 years on it and is still running smoothly and dependably.

I use it on average of 4 to 6x per week. The prices have always remained steady on them but I would highly recommend one. I purchased the model with the 5qt bowl instead of the 4qt pedestal model. Once you purchase it, you'll wonder how you lived without it for so long:) On the Kitchen Aid….I’ve had mine for over 10 years and it is by far the best investment I’ve ever made in my kitchen.

That's when I had to take naps all the way till I was 8. ;) On the dollar: I see how you can get mixed points out of the US dollar article. I guess my take here was to show the psychological effect of the poor dollar on myself (as an example): since I don't see the same phantom savings that my tourist friends do, then I feel less inclined to spend. And traveling? Not for me at this time! At the personal level, I don't see a benefit to a weak dollar as it has an inflationary effect. At the macro level, cheaper dollars are stimulative for our economy, but if unchecked, can lead to inflation (which can then trigger recession). This global imbalance concerns me. As for your self-help reading list, I'm going to have to check those out. If there's something that can make me more productive, I'll take it! On siestas: I grew up on siestas — oh wait.
