Recommendation: Get yourself an au pair, preferably a Swedish one, that has cooking skills and is a licensed masseuse (A massage after market close and before dinner should work well). :0) Best Regards, Jim

Donnie, I don't know how you can keep up such a frenetic pace! I would have lost eight of my nine lives long ago. I think you need nerves of steel to do what you are doing. Were I you I would take a few days off. Go to the symphony with your wife. Listen to Debussey for an entire evening. Recharge your batteries. If that doesn't work, try eating Thai peppers. That will take your mind off of whatever it was on. If you need something stronger let me know <VBG>. You and I, my friend, are very different personalities. I tend towards lethargy myself. Catnaps are a really wonderful invention, and there is a lot to be said for inertia it is a much under-rated virtue (along with procrastination which has been given a bad name by type A personalities). But you seem to need the adrenaline rush of trading. I understand this, because when I was young (and foolish) I used to do things like mountain climbing and automobile racing. But I deiscovered (between episodes of sheer terror) that it was good to slow down every so often. My other much less useful advice is to stop going to the bathroom. This could be problem if you insist on eating, but since you are convinced of the toxic nature of your daughter-in-law's cooking, starvation might be preferable. Besides which, defecation is a much overrated experience. As a matter of fact, it's rather shitty. Or maybe you should join the Hare Krishnas and hang around airports chanting. Time for a catnap. Oooom! TTFN, CTC

That's called "life", Venkie. Go to the bathroom and you miss the knock on your door from the Reader's Digest Sweepstakes guy that going to deliver you a check for $10,000,000. But you also miss the lady that was trying to serve you a subpoena to take it away....so over 20 years, it averages out. Know a small fund manager who works out of his home. If his clients knew how he managed their funds, he'd be out of business. Basically, he's never there, or he's babysitting his infant son while his wife shops, or he's out getting a load of mulch delivered, or hanging at Home Depot looking for the latest DeWalt power tool. Takes a vacation, comes back 5 days later, and finds himself in a short-squeeze of biblical proportions on AOL and AMZN. But I'd also like to develop your comment on this greed thing. People fight for money and time their entire lives. IMO, when you have nothing but time, you're fighting for money (to earn it, borrow it, invest it, make it grow, keep it). When you nothing but money, you're fighting for time (need more time with the kids, want to take that vacation, just like to hang out over the weekend for a change instead of the office). My heart is out to you about your dilemma of facing hamburger helper, particularly after a woozy day in the market. But you know what? Most kitchens these days are used as staging areas to assemble dinner instead of cook it. You know, they order take-out and when it's delivered, they assemble it on plates in the kitchen or offer it to you so you can eat it while leaning over the sink. It is no wonder that kitchens are being downsized these days. At least you can be grateful that she hasn't asked you to co-sign her home mortgage and then lend her and additional $50K to fix the place up. There's got to be a web site somewhere for recipes for exasperated traders or underappreciated providers. Maybe this SI thread is it!
