Clappy....way to go on the veggie diet...I too am a former cheeseburg connoisseur so I know how hard that is. One thing the rehab mavens cautioned those folks who had switched exclusively to veggie is not to become anemic. I have lost 10 pounds so far and want to do another 15 to get back to my fighting weight. The PT lady at rehab said it will be slow and more based on changing basic metabolism. I was fiddling with the scale trying to adjust for another quarter pound lower....she came up and said...watch what you eat...not the scales. The"food nazi" (nutritionist) has been very creative is advising us on alternative no fat foods...believe it or not, they are out there. She also said don't become obsessive about eating no fat food...every now and again, if you want a cheeseburger...have one....YEAH Baby!!!!!! OK my friend....gotta go work out. Oh BTW....check out Manufacturing Services Limited (MSV)...bought them at 4. They are a contract manufacturer..went public last summer on the NYSE ...up to 30+ then tank city with the market. Check out their latest earnings...they are really doing well..real profits, revenues, assets....kind of refreshing compared to some of the strange deals I have been into. Cheers Altair19

I won't argue about your time is far more valuable than your money. Having spent a few years on both sides of the time/money teetertotter, I believe that the balance point is the place where happiness is located. 'Course that balance point varies with the individual. JMO Here's another Rydex update. Message 15318957 I've seen J.T. blow it (like we all have), but he's worth watchin'. Sentiment indicators tend to work at the extremes - not so good in between. Lots of gold talk on that thread (for those with a fever <gg>). As always Good Luck! lurqer

A Fishing Trip....best way I know to pass the time..... A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas." Well, the boss liked the kid, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did." His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The kid says, "One." The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" Kid says, "$101,237.64." Boss says, "$101,237.64? What did you sell him?" Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4X4 Blazer." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?" Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Well, since your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.'"
