    volunteering involving finance?

    I would suggest checking with the local non-profits in your area. They may need straight-forward accounting help, i.e. balancing the ledger, etc. But, you may also be able to creatively gain "finance experience" by helping to count the cash after a fund-raiser (for example).

    Donating Clothes to Goodwill

    First off, the only way that donating to a charity will help your tax situation is if you itemize your deductions. Goodwill will hand you a blank receipt, meaning the individual will have to determine the value of the items donated. If you are planning to deduct an amount on your tax return...

    Anyone studying towards a masters?

    Join the military. Earn money, pay down current student loans, have life experiences and allow yourself tiime to decide a meaningful future course. Plus, if you are lucky, you'll get stationed overseas. Nothing against a Masters in Professional Studies, but it doesn't sound to me like it...

    Your Favorite Covers of Popular Songs?

    Ok, I'm going to be the douche that posts something by Dave Matthews. However, in my defense, Warren Haynes owns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCiLCo-LoUg Neil Young - Cortez the Killer cover

    Car / Auto Insurance

    Car / Auto Insurance

    Ditto for me as well. I've had State Farm for several years. I was shocked at how much USAA was when I got back the quote.

    Good Westerns...

    Absolutely. Also, despite its lazy ending, I would recommend The Culpepper Cattle Co. And, of course, The Good, the Bad and the Weird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imgdpz_0m-8

    Buy the WATCHMEN Graphic Novel for $9.99, that's 50% off

    Nice. I had been kicking around ordering it from Amazon for a few weeks now. The free shipping for a $20.00 order gave me a great excuse to catch-up on some Berserk. Thanks!

    The military thread

    For the most part, I researched information and compiled it into some sort of product (i.e. presentations, maps, reports, etc.). While I was in Okinawa I also helped with Anti-Terrorism (back before terrorism was hot on the streets; pre-9/11) and Counterintelligence-type presentations...

    The military thread

    I spent 4 long, long years in the Marine Corps as an Intelligence Specialist (I know oxy-moron, military intelligence...). I was stationed on both the West and East Coasts and Okinawa; as well as stints in Thailand and South Korea.

    I've used pokerindustries.com several times as well. Nothing but positive experiences. As a bonus, I believe everything is 50% of right now , using code LUCKY13.

    I just finished re-reading Nine Princes in Amber by Zelazny. Such a fantastic series! Side question - has anyone read any of the Amber pre-quels, written by John Gregory Betancourt?
