BLUE PLACIDOLA
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who would lose in a head-to-head race with a glacier. Family and friends often nudge you from behind or tug your arm for no apparent reason. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time wandering around the downtown area hoping to buy either a pair of gray heavy duty boot socks or a 50-foot blue garden hose. Be on the lookout for fairy dust that tastes like salt. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter V, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 492071. Your preferred shopping venue is department stores. Your special symbol is the at sign (@).
Is this You?
As a Blue Placidola, you are easy-going and even-tempered, calm and composed. For you, the hectic pace of a crowded shopping mall during the holiday rush is nothing, it's little more than a tranquil stroll in the park. Life is good. Life goes on. Why worry. You are a happy shopper and you seldom fret over trivial details of a market exchange, in part because you are astute enough to get moderately low prices and relatively good deals.
This isn't me! What am I?

Some Prime Stuff On INTEREST RATESOne unexpected benefit from our foot-paced view of the economy is loose change. Keeping our eyes to the ground has uncovered a nickel here, a quarter there, and an occasional dollar bill. My total is up to $137.65, an amount that I'm reluctant to keep on my person. Fortunately Interstate OmniBank has a branch very close the Dr. Nova Cain's dental office. I can deposit my booty into a safe, secure savings account under the watchful eyes of Interstate OmniBank employees, to be withdrawn if needed at a later date. Not only will Interstate OmniBank keep my $137.65 safe and secure, they'll also pay me an interest. That's I deal I just can't pass up.
