Sonki. Sonny is laughing. I am afraid you have this mixed up. I hope I was not the cause of this. When all this happened his blood pressure was 160/109. It was his pulse or heart rate that went to 230. That was the scary part. Luckily it did not get that high until help arrived. They brought it under control pretty fast. It was the 2 more attacks in the hospital that they had problems with. It took longer. With all that insurance we are paying you would think they get better chairs for those cubicles. This is an afterthought. He was not sitting on one, I was all night until he got moved upstairs. We do own one of those blood pressure monitors and they do come in handy. Sonny says to tell you that he knows how to use one. He has worked in Hospitals for a long time and taught Navy students how to use them along with other basic things. Since he got some medication I have him check it frequently. I don't trust that stuff. He always had pretty good blood pressure and it got pretty low today. So I called the Doctor and he lowered the dosage. Who knows if he still needs it. But until he sees the doctor for more tests he will have to use it. Yes, he noticed that PFE went down again today after having made such a nice move the other day. He is really upset that he cannot use his Viagra pills now. They gave him plenty of Nitro when he had those attacks. Now he is afraid to use his Viagra. You know Nitro and Viagra do not mix. Several deaths and he feels like he just survived his. So he does not want to take the chance he says. I hope you figured out that this Viagra stuff is a joke. But he wanted me to mention it. BTW, did you hear that this top guy from Bear Sterns donated 1 Mill. for Viagra use? I think we have the right firm. He also owns lots of PFE. Anyhow, Sonny says it will go up again soon. The PE came down to 50. Lots of prescriptions out there and Canadians are renaming Niagara Falls "Viagra Falls". They are flocking to that area to buy Viagra. It is not approved yet in Canada. But it will be approved pretty soon all over. Then we will see a pop. If it goes down again tomorrow, we will buy more. Sonny and me

Sonki, Sonny Suggested I address this to you since you have set up your Roth IRA. Are you able to add money to your roth this year?? I am getting static about adding money to mine this year. I bought some stock and didn't have enough in the account to cover it so I tried to add money to my Roth. Well I can't. I have to re-open my regular IRA and then transfer the amount into my Roth. What a mess. Now I get taxed again on the 2nd transfer. It wasn't a lot of money (obviously, since you can only add 2k a year) but it's still irritating me. Anyone else having problems like this?? I did talk to my tax accountant and she did some checking and said the problem seem to be that if I would withdraw the money early there would be a hell of a tax mess. My broker still can't seem to find out if I can EVER add to this account. It seems at least this year they won't let me without doing the transfering. I was just wondering if you or anyone else are running into these same problems. Thanks for your input. Take Care Ann P.S. Thanks for teasing Sonny about those little blue pills. I was SOOO tempted but thought I'd better leave it alone. I figured Tony would be the one to tease him. <gg>
