About me I have been trying to learn the market since Nov.07. I still have an awful lot to learn, but I have received a lot of help from other players. This is a great place to learn. My husband and I do tree and commercial lawn service, and quite often I spend more time in a hi-lift bucket or climbing in trees than I do on the ground during the day. I don't have much time for hobbies anymore but I love WSS, horseback riding, jet-skiing, softball, card games, chess, and lot's of other activities. I always wanted to try bungy jumping and parachuting at least once. It has been a few years, but I have rode some young and small bulls before, and had so much fun I would do it again if I had the opportunity, even though most think at 53 I am too old to be doing that. When it comes to trading do the opposite of me and you should be fine. LOL

    Barb, W&C just posted a thread "long time no see" & updated what her situation is. Stop by & give her a "hi".

     Barb, I just thought I'd swing by and say hi! I hope everything is going good with you.  Our wood/coal burner is being installed on Friday morning and I'm so glad.  I'm tired of looking at it in the middle of the living room.  It's supposed to get really chilly here soon so it's a good thing they are putting it in.  I reset and I made money yesterday so I'm happy about that.  I will be glad when the elections are over.  It seems like this has been the longest campaigning session ever.  I hope everything turns out good and the country gets back on even ground.  It seems like for the past few years we just keep going down.  I hope all your little ones are doing good.  Have a wonderful day!

    thanks for defending me today... i got a little out of hand. i've about had it between sandman, ssskrsyzp, surveybob, and the general constant smear. i just cant stand constantly having to defend against the SAME spam emails over and over again to the SAME people. its infuriating. you especially have done so much work to defend your arguments just to speak to a brick wall. i feel like we're all against a brick wall all day every day. but knowing that there are people reading who may not post anything keeps me going. thanks again, hopefully tomorrow will be less venting and more honest debating.

    Have you heard any more about prizes for loyalty points cause you know I can get my talk on. lol The reason is I asked today and twice was told yes they are still paying for loyalty points. Rather giving prizes. So I am off to the chat box again.

    Barb, I just checked on Whineandcheese since I didn't hear from her from my posting over a week ago.  She posted on her wall that she turned down again from a prospective housing situation.  I don't know all the details regarding her situation, but I do gather that she has health problems & looking for  permanent housing. Is she staying at a shelter or transitional housing now? I don't what the local laws are & public services available to her in her area.  Depending on what her financial situation is, maybe she could qualify for Section 8 housing like the program that's available here in California.  But I didn't want to suggest it not knowing where she stands. Let me know as I would like to offer my suggestions if you think she would be receptive.

    Hi Barb, it took awhile but I found the "we can" thread.  You have to see what I've been posting.  Lorelie said I NAILED James & corky sprayed the pepsi in her mouth all over her keyboard when she read Lorelie's retort to James!!!!! I got a different kind of debate going which I don't think James had intented to...
