<<Amazing all the finger pointing going on here on SI. Bears vs bulls, I was right, you were wrong, blah, blah, blah... yet little discussion on what to do now, what to do in the future, and what one will do to get better having learned from the experience. I believe a person should take responsibility for their own actions, that they are the captain of their own ship, so to speak. Like I've said before, I'm the President and CEO of my life and I like it that way! >>

Couldn't agree with you more....one thing I have learned, is I will no longer involve myself with the bashing of others, infighting, or trying to defend anybody.......Every time I try and be a nice guy, it jumps up and bites me on the ass......I am trying my best to just stick with market and stock related discussion, and everything else just ignore. I also fully agree that people need to be held accountable for their own actions.......as an attorney, I am sure you can agree with that. The sad thing is, many people really miss the point of "being held accountable for their own actions", and in fact make big jokes about it, yet their actions may get them into a heap of trouble....but like I always say....if you make your bed, be prepared to sleep in it......

Anyway....love your insight into the markets....my guess is the worst is not over, but opportunities do abound regardless.

Have a great night......hey RR question for you since you are so into "critter knowlege"...and if anybody else has suggestions, PLEASE SHARE. First, I am as diehard and animal lover as you will find. When I lost my cat last year, it was like losing my son....I still cannot think of him without tears coming to my eyes. I am also a car lover and have an extremly nice custome firebird. Custom in and out...lots of horsepower, lots of structural work ( she is a convertible so I did alot of under body and engine compartment work to stiffen her up)...roll bar and etc, etc.....anyway, my garage is used for...well, it's used as a garage, but no room for our cars. I built an open carport...open on both ends, that connects to the garage to park my firebird under.......well, the canvas convertible top seems like the place for every neighborhood cat to come and sleep on, urinate on, fight on and etc......I come outside everyday to mud prints all over the car...hair and mud all over the top and etc....you cannot even wash it anymore, because guaranteed, the cats will be back that night.....I have tried moth balls after somebody said cats hate moth balls.....I even used a humane racoon trap to try and catch the cats, at which time, I scare them with the hose and let them go, hoping they learned their lesson and wont come back...well, cats are just too smart....they all know not to go into the cage now, but they still come over every night and sleep, fight and urinate on my car....this is about to drive me crazy....my wife, an engineer, made me a motion detector, that hooks up to the hose, but we have yet to put it to the test, as I dont really want to get my car wet, nor do I want to scare the cats and have them scratch my car when the water hits them.....I am really at wits end and dont know what to do....luckily, high pressure and hot water gets the urine smell out, and it stays on the outside without permeating to the inside, but c'mon......every single day I have to spend 5 bucks at the hot car wash spraying off my car...I can't even take the top down because it will be muddy, have hair all over it and possibly urine...then I wash it off and the top is wet and you cannot open it while wet because it will leave creases in the top....so I have this beautiful custome convertible firebird...very rare, very nice....will suck the paint off a Viper and looks sweet as can be, except of course with muddy paw prints all over it, every single day......they make poisons to keep animals away from gardens and etc, but I am an animal lover. I dont wish to harm any of them, nor my dog, if she gets into the posion when outside, but I am at a loss as to what to do......Once one cat shows up, it seems like every cat shows up...they are now out back, urinating on our lawn furniture and everywhere else.....everywhere I walk outside smells like a litter box.....disgusting. Like I said I love animals, but need to find a way to keep them away....any suggestions from you or anybody would be greatly appreciated......I am almost at the point of wanting to sell the car because it is just ridiculous that I cant drive it anymore due to this, or even building an enclosed garage addition, but sheez, this year has been hard enough $$ wise, and I already put $$'s into the carport addition and dont want to have to spend more...additionally, closing the car in, here in NC, with the heat and humidity is not good for the car....it would have to be airconditioned or left open..if not, it will get 140 degrees in there as it gets direct sunlight and that is not good for the car.......HELP!!!! What can I do, besides buying a pit bull and chaining him up out front, can I do to Humanely keep these cats away from my car and off my property?????????

Thanks in advance to anybody with a suggestion.

If stanford beats maryland, duke beats USC, arizona beats illionois and MSU beats temple, I'll be looking good going into final 4....then I need duke and msu to win...and duke to beat msu.......

Keith........
