Hi Dealer, Remember I have my laptop with me and I am typing this from my old bedroom here in Chatt Town. I like the look of your new posts. Classy, but would one expect anything else from the grand dame of the porch? Give Depy a few scratches behind the ears from me. I'll be back at you shortly, Your Bud, Joel

To all: I just had a deep down eye opening experience that I would like to share. After taking a minute to feel sorry for myself I started walking in the woods around the lake,thinking about and praying for all of those that have had all their dreams and hopes shattered in the last couple of weeks. I thought for a brief moment about how we were all feeling guilty about our investing knowledge and abilities, but you know what if the big dogs can't figure it out or prevent it what the hell do we have to feel guilty about, NOTHING! We have tried our best and none of us went into this to lose money and our life long savings. After my exciting night of flooding and cooking,maybe I should say exploding my new dish of "chicken catch your owny", I thought you know what I'm not a loser and this isn't going to beat me down. So I went to the store to get more chicken and another water filter and the strangest thought crossed my mind. You see I had just realized that it had been June of last year since I had been in a grocery store other than a gas station type. I can't believe this market had the power to hold me prisoner in my own house at the helm of my computer. Then to add insult to injury my oldest daughter came home and I started telling her how I've let them down, but not to worry her pretty little face that I would, with the help of the Lord pull through this and get them all the wonderful things that I had promised them back in late December, she said "Dad you don't owe us anything because we love you and we know how much you love us and everything you do is for us".(I started to cry at that point,my girls mean the world to me) I told her she had missed the evening of all evenings yesterday and explained what happened, she said " you know I was wondering why you shaved your arms" I started to laugh and said "what, did you think I shaved my eyebrow too" she started laughing and crying at the same time and told me we will be ok. I told her well now we can enjoy one of my old chicken dishes and hopefully not my newest chicken dish. I thought she was going to choke when I told her what I named it. After our fine diner of the old chicken dish she told me how good it was and that as good as I can cook, that she could not remember the last time I cooked for them and that I use to always cook for them and she missed that. Right then I got my second reality check and that I couldn't remember how long it had been,but again I know it was before June or July. I was shocked for the second time how this market had me as it's prisoner and for what reason, most of the time it is out of our control when it comes down to market manipulation. I hope I haven't bored any of you, I guess I'm just saying there is more to life than the Market,Wealth and Market Makers,Taxes and the Stress that comes with it. So lets all enjoy our loved ones (family and friends)appreciate and give thanks for what we have left and help our fellow man/woman recovery and make the most of what we got. Love ya all Coon (less the az as of Friday's close)
