Aol and Yahoo: Time to put a ring on it

    The time is right to make a move. Your house is in order. As you said, you're making money again, and even have enough lying around to buy yourself some expensive, delicate baubles. You need what Yahoo can offer you now: more attention, more purse strings, and more energy to compete for supremacy.

    Now, you may not have the perfect relationship from the start. The power differential will be steep, and both of you may have to get rid of a few things to make it work. Your yahoo is going to be the breadwinner and then some. Which is why she may not sign on for a traditional partnership; if she won't go into this willingly, maybe you can pitch a political marriage, one of convenience for both parties. Partner first, procession down the aisle, later.

    So stop flirting and start committing. Even though you're 21, now's no time to be a bachelor out there.

    10-k (ten thousand, that is) kisses,
