A message to Dest...7 minutes after Baron closed the thread

Hi Dest...Hope you are well. I have decided to block you. It really is nothing personal. It is more for my benefit.

I have an addictive personality...Had it for years. When I deal with one issue, I can develop a transfer addiction to some other area. Reading your threads can do that to me.

In my 12 step program it says: We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable.

To me (and just me), viewing you is like watching "Faces of Death" or internet porn. It becomes a numbing effect, rather than a healthy side barb. Years ago, watching a few minutes of Don Rickles was fun and amusing. But, to watch an hour or two of his humor, was cutting and degrading. Something cynical I want to avoid in my life.

Many times you speak truth...But it is not in love or even wanting the good/best in other people. Whether there is some/a lot or narcissism/megalomaniac in you...That is for you to decide. Maybe your family or friends can give you insight into that.

I only have a few years left in this world...I would rather ride my bicycle/smell the roses that deal with cutting diatribes...Just me.

I didn't vote on your thread...It really didn't matter. I'll watch maybe one more day here and maybe respond. After that I'll block...For my mental health.

I do learn a lot from ET...Even from you. But I still can learn with a filter to pursue the things in life that matter to me.

I am not naive in thinking my trading is the correct one. For most it is not. But, for me; preserving capital, preparing for estate planning, building assets (and passing them along to family) looks crazy to many. But, for me and my wife, it works...A different mindset. Not better, just different...The smaller the estate the less the executor can/will charge. Before Medicare, having income below $67,000. would save me $12,000. with Obamacare. It's not what you make...It's what you keep.

Enough of my rambling...Wish you well. Cabin...
 
I was injured overseas in my 20s and became a bit combative. I have a history of violence from my teens through, well present-day. It tends to take form when presented with online c*nts as well. It doesn't invade my family life and I am well known locally for charitable work. I scrap, box, wet-work etc. I don't want to trigger you so I'll leave it at that.

I don't think your approach is wrong per se, just not best-practice; filling CC-lots on non-marketable limits (missed opportunity, filled on market trading against you). Sure, I think CCs are inferior structures, but you're in your senior years and probably should be trading buy-writes/conservatively.

There are methods of tax-avoidance you you should study with respect to synthetics, but I don't think you'd be interested.

My best to you and I apologize for my impact to your well being, as it is.
 
I try working on what they call "Samskaras" or blockages we bring from our past growing up. We all have them. We often suppress them and the more we try to suppress them the tougher it is for the vibrations of our heart to really open. I'm new to working on my Samskaras with mantra, trinity practice. I have a lot to work through, I was bad and carry a lot of blockages from my childhood. Anyways just wanted to rant myself.
 
Yeah, that's what I did.

If there was an occasion that had an interesting thread (it would need to be very interesting and relevant), and I needed context from Dest's post, I can look back.

Otherwise, there is plenty of good info on all the threads...
