With a net worth of more than $100 million, John Hantz is one of the richest men left in Detroit. Once a star stockbroker at American Express, he left 13 years ago to found his own firm. Today Hantz Financial Services has 20 offices in Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia, more than 500 employees, and $1.3 billion in assets under management. One day about a year and a half ago,...

Frank Navasky: [about Birdie] She fell in love with Generalissimo Franco!
Kathleen Kelly: No, don't say that. Really. We don't know that for sure.
Frank Navasky: Well, who else could it have been? It was probably around 1960.
Kathleen Kelly: Do you want some popcorn?
Frank Navasky: I can't believe this! I mean, it's not like he was something normal, like a socialist or an anarchist or something.
Kathleen Kelly: It happened in Spain. People do really stupid things in foreign countries.
Frank Navasky: Absolutely. They buy leather jackets for much more than they're worth. But they don't fall in love with fascist dictators!

Dear men; what these nine words really mean.

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. 2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the football before helping around the house. 3. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission....

Admit it, you’re asking yourself all those questions on Formspring to make it seem like people give a shit. Solid plan, Bud. I have to hand it to the creators of this thing, though. They’ve taken a concept that is so stupid and they’re running with it. Can I create the next form of social media? Hey how ‘bout this: tubfarter.com. Every time you take a bath, you videotape yourself...

Which witch is which?
I’m not really sure the right answer here, and I’m not nearly clever enough to do it justice.

I am starting collage and I’m scared.
This isn’t a question…but I’ll help you out anyway.
First thing, don’t be scared. When starting a collage, it may help to have a theme in mind. I did collages when I was much younger, probably one every few years from middle school through college. I think I did a “husband” collage, full of...

I think you’re cute and funny. If an Internet stranger invited you do something with a group of friends, would you be totally creeped out by it? You’d of course be invited to bring along your own friends, including some big, angry-looking bouncer types.
Thanks, Internet stranger! It would depend, how strange are you? I may not be totally creeped. Possibly a little creeped, depending...

so what’s your story? i’m sure you have a couple nice anecdotes that we’d love to hear
I don’t know if I really have a story. I’m pretty boring. Currently, laid off from my marketing job at Borders, just finished my first semester of grad school. In the past, had lots of fun in h.s., had a great group of friends. Went to college, wanted to be an Editor, ended up in...

I just wanted to say hello and that I hope you’re having a good evening. :)
Hello to you (whoever you are). I’m having a great night, thank you. In the world of emoticons, I’m colon, capital d. I’ve noticed that I’m tumbling tonight like I did when I was employed. Read: a lot.

I have nothing to ask. I just wanna say that you’re awesome and I kinda wish we were actual friends, because you seem like you’d be an awesome friend. -Culby
Back at you! You’re one of the people on tumblr that I could see myself being friends with irl. And you’re right, I am an awesome friend! ;)

so if you got a tattoo (or if you already have one) what would it be and why?
I do actually have one. I knew for years that I wanted to get one, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I figured it would come to me eventually. When I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras in 2007, I realized that the symbol of the city is the fleur-de-lis. I’ve always loved that image, and I was in New Orleans,...

Hoarders
I don’t think they spend enough time getting these places cleaned up. It’s frustrating to see the end of the episode without a completely organized house.

what does your tumblr name mean?
I’m aware that there is a song by Regina Spektor called “One More Time With Feeling,” and there was a musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer called “Once More, with Feeling,” but I didn’t know that until after creating the tumblr.
I’m not exactly sure where it came from, but one of my roommates in...
Loser
I think this is the section where I admit to being a loser-y pathetic follower, and tell you I caved and started a formspring. I don’t think I’m any of those things, it’s more that I’m bored, kind of egotistical, and curious to see if anyone will actually bother asking me a question.
Ask me anything, unless it has something to do with the show Hoarders. I won’t go...
Intervention
How do these people not know they are on the show until they walk into the intervention room?? I know they’re out of it most of the time, but I’ve got to assume some of them have seen or at least heard of the show.
Hey addicts - if someone comes to you and says that they want to film a documentary about addiction, you’re on the show!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I just baked chocolate chip cookies (by myself*) for the first time ever, and I suck at it. I took the first pan out too early, and the second pan is on the verge of burnt. I blame the internet for distracting me for those few precious minutes when those cookies overcooked.
*I sound like Kevin from The Office. “I did it all by myself!”
Free Million Dollar Ideas

Below you will find some ideas that are guaranteed money in the bank. However, I don’t have the means (nor motivation) to bring them to fruition. They’re all too good not to happen so I’m passing the ideas on to you so that maybe one of you may run with it. Godspeed.

“The proposal to put the science-lab cuts on the table was approved recently by Berkeley High’s School Governance Council, a body of teachers, parents, and students who oversee a plan to change the structure of the high school to address Berkeley’s dismal racial achievement gap, where white students are doing far better than the state average while black and Latino students are...
