I'd forgot--"You can't stop our love" was possibly the best one liner so far. <in lieu of cyber surfing> gosh, maybe a book a week, or a lot more housecleaning for starters. I forgot to say--remember I mentioned Doxepin? Well it seems to be at least as good, no, twice as good as my benadryl/ melatonin cocktail (Rozerem turned out not to work for me. And who knows, maybe the anti- depression side of Doxepin will do something for me too--I may need it...October is supposed to be tough on Wall Street. I may not have picked good stocks, or maybe I do indeed have good stocks but poor timing (if infi dips a lot, you may want to buy some ahead of the Nov 7 meeting). You probably don't remember this, but a year or two ago I posted that I was going to ask myself a $64 thousand dollar question--could I pick decent stocks? 64k was where my wife's IRA was at the time (it peaked at 130k in 2000, fell to around 25k in 02 or 03, and I have fought back somehow. Anwyay, here it is a year or two later, and I've only added a lousy ten grand? Gosh, probably 500 or a thousand posts here on SI, and I only have the account up to $75k (down ten grand from a few days ago). The kids accounts have gone nowhere, maybe up a few percent in the past couple years. Clearly, this is not a profitable hobby (not since 2000 for me anyway) it is fun at times, but there are alternatives. I'm not going to suddenly become incredibly productive or anything, but clean shiny floors and a book a week is enough.
