Site of the Week: Quickanddirtytips.com

Sometimes cartoons make life seem so much easier. Like when a character is faced with a tough decision and two little guys show up on his shoulders. One an angel, and one a little devil, and both offer some advice. All the character has to do is choose whichever he feels is best and then do it. The little guys disappear and come back whenever another crucial decision is approached.

Life is not that simple. Every day is loaded with decisions, some big and some small, but our shoulders remain vacant and  advice is sometimes hard to find.
