The floor is part of a kitchen makeover, and since I could have lived with our early '70's kitchen for the rest of my life, but caved in for the wife, I am officially working for my wife!

Took the time to call a buddy I hadn't talked to in 10years, other than social media stuff. Great conversation, just as good as goofing off, and I won't have any explaining to the wife about why I screwed off for the day. :)

X-Plane is pretty good and was originally developed by a guy who is an Apple fan.

Thanks Ryan, I missed that when I was looking.

Holy crap, new floors put in downstairs and the guy is here doing the first stain coat. I have no idea how he hasn't passed out, I'm feeling lightheaded and out of it from the odor. 36 degrees outside, but I'm opening windows and hoping I'll be good by Fed time. Maybe I'll hang out here and...

Curious, do you pay commissions or just exchange fees when trading? How much if you are paying commissions on top of fees? Also are you paying member exchange fees on trades or retail exchange fees? Thanks

There is a newer story about the tech guy who figured out how to tap into the system with a little bit of work on his part. I think he found friends and relatives to play sets of numbers that would yield a winner and supposedly he actually didn't collect on the winnings, if I remember correctly...

I thought Tom Cruise was a wingnut whacko after his Today show interview, but what I found out was he was pretty dead on in his ripping apart psychiatry. Dole out the drugs, and see what happens. I had the unfortunate experience of being put on one. Holy fu--, that was a terror show. That was...

I don't use it specifically for trading. I started getting back into it few years back to beat the alcohol demon I had let myself become. It helped me get past that stupidity and I stuck with it instead of saying I'm good and stopping. I would say it has helped me focus more with my trading as...

When I was in college a few hundred years ago some buddies picked up tickets for Neil Young, and got one for me without asking. I didn't want to go, as I thought he was more country sounding than rock. I got talked into going. One of the best concerts I've ever been to! Went again when he came...

I watched Beware Mr. Baker and holy crap, what a nut. Eric Clapton mentioned how he loved the guy, but couldn't be around as he feared for his sobriety. The guy was smoking while using an oxygen tank! In my youth when I played drums( very poorly) I idolized him, John Bonham, Keith Moon, and...

We went with our youngest and his club soccer team. We had an organized tour of the usual sites and it was actually pretty good. I'm not a big fan of the usual tourist stuff when we travel, but this was worth it. We also went to a Chelsea v. Stoke City match. That was a fantastic experience...

Love the younger days of The Who!

No, I was just having issues with sleep and getting into a normal sleep pattern at the time. My sleep is good now, other than the joy of getting up to take a leak at night, but that is just another reward for getting older.

I tried melatonin to help with getting sleep patterns back to normal after some screwed up times in life. For whatever reason I woke each morning with intense headaches, I wouldn't say migraine, but equally painful. As soon as I stopped taking it the waking headaches went away.

Sorry to read that.

I'll give that a try. It crossed my mind to do that when I went up to the 200mg level, but didn't. One other question if you or anyone has a thought on it. Have gained a couple pounds since going to the 200 mg dose also. No, not earth shattering, but I have been pegged in same range for going...

Anyone on any side effects they experienced? I saw vinc mention his blood pressure, but anyone else? I ask as I started taking it after reading about it here and doing some research on my own. I take a statin at a 20mg dose, which I think is fairly low, and have the impression it impacts the...

I'd still rather be the house when it comes to gambling. There are guys like this that can work it, but so many more that just love handing over their money. Long before trading I worked with a guy who was a bookie. He'd take me to lunch now and again and invariably it would involve picking up...

Holy crap, I hope all of you intentionally cleaned up before taking a picture, you are making me fell like a huge slob. My desk is littered with trading notes, notes of things I need to follow up, and currently a big note not to forget my anniversary tomorrow, tucked where only I would see it...
