WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt5

[nskjerven]

Thanks, I feel centered.

Glad I could help ya

Yep, we're down $300K, can't take much more!.

It's so hard to say. But under the mattress, may be a good plan.

Sorry, that sounded kinda dumb of me, of course "we" who have invested in the market are affected by the down turn in the market. I was referring to the loss of jobs inthe financial market and all the mergers and bailouts. That won't hit us directly, but I think it will have a catch up in years to come.

And I have given seriously thought to that mattress idea today But alas I watch the discovery show It takes a thief and know that would be really stupid. I was thinking having a gold stash would really be a good plan these days

Hi all,
Yes, I know I sound older today! Began the day with Zoe bringing me a framed picture that she colored - of course, it was the best present ever. Then off to school, then her first pledge of allegence flag ceremony. Then Jonathan and I snuck off to CAdv. to ride the big kid rides. I hadn't been on screamin for a long time. We stayed for 2 hours and picked up some Cheesecake FActory cheesecake and back to carpool. We watched the first Harry Potter (Z's first time!) Very fun, quiet and nice b'day.

I didn't notice that your comment sounded dumb, it made perfect sense to me.

I am looking at old posts from the last repo and it looks like they had rough seas going over. I wonder if that is normal for that time of year?

Nope, most people were avoiding the WB because they thought they'd be riding hurricanes home....didn't happen.

.

JACKIE - I'm thinking that depending on what the itin is for 2010 (and where it's from) I may include a week in the cottage.

Yep, with the round trip airfares being only slightly more than one way (and the TA being on their 'little' ship), I'm thinking a visit to the UK and a DCL cruise is the better way to go. A stay in a cottage may be a nice way to unwind from a port intensive cruise THREE weeks and we should know what's going on! Have you selected what part of the country you want to stay in?

Kelly, so glad you had a nice birthday (and spending part of it with Mickey is always good)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Well, I actually got some errands/chores done on my lunch hour and at the end of the work day. Balancing the check book was the biggie! While I was at the bank I signed up for their "keep the change" program. So all my debit charges to the checking account will be rounded up to the whole dollar and that 'change' will be transfered to a savings account. I wonder how much could be in there by 2010???? Maybe I'll go back through my check register and see how much would have been moved over the last couple of months.

I should be getting a refund from the car insurance too, as I called to officially cancel the insurance on the Toyota (had left it active until everything was processed). They are refunding all the way back to the day after the crash, so that's cool.

off to check up on some other threads before I head on home....

later kids!

OK, so, you went to bed and I decided, unilaterally, to post this info on the Tortola Thread.

You snooze, you lose.....

Punchy-- --the girl is punchy--so why can't I sleep??????

Jan, you crack me up, you nut!

Happy Birthday Kelly!

Ok, permission granted. This is Molly a few weeks ago ready for her christening.

Oh my gosh, Marilyn, Molly is so adorable! I usually don't like babies and I just want to scoop her up and hug her!

Hi everyone,

I thought I would post something about the stock market and bank scare. As most of you know, I am a geeky accounting nerd. And to make it even worse, I am a former savings and loan bank examiner. I thought I would ring in with my two cents, which, by the way, it exactly what my opinion is officially worth. LOL.

Anyway, with respect to the banks, and the threat of possible failures, as long as you have your accounts structured in such a way that all deposits are FDIC insured, I would not spend anytime worrying. I know that some of the "talking heads" on the financial channels are chicken little and scaring everybody that the sky is falling, but that is their job, to make people tune in and fear will get people watching everytime!

As for the stock market, it is a long term investment. If you are invested in good mutual funds, and plan to stick it out for the long term, then you will come out of this just fine. It is the people who panic and sell out when the market is low that are really hurt in this market. As a matter of fact, I haven't changed my position and I am still putting the same amount in my mutual fund invested 401K as I always have. I like to think that the stock market is marked down or on clearance and I am getting the shares really cheap right now.

I know this sounds really positive and optimistic but I remember all the financial downturns that we have had in the past and how we rebounded and all was well again after a time. I think all will be well again.

Happy Monday Everyone!

After another horrible Hawks game yesterday I am ready for a new week.

Went to a doc on Friday....got some decent news....I can now see 20/400 out of my L eye (which means I can almost see that big E on the vision charts) and my upper field of vision is showing improvement, but my lower is still pretty blind. The sad news is that my optic nerve is showing signs of damage which doesn't make me happy. He also told me it could be a year before my sight is back...if at all....again, not so happy. But I'll take the 20/400 and improving sight!

Haven't read at all this weekend, and there is just too much to catch up on. Hope everyone is doing well, happy and healthy! If anyone needs it.....

Marilyn...saw that pic of your granddaughter....how adorable! She looks so beautiful in that pic. (thanks Nan for quoting it so I saw it)

Ok, off to see more patients....just stopping by between them.

Great to see you here Kaylee! Sorry to hear the not so great news about your eye, but I'm glad to hear you have some improvement. Some is better than total darkness.

I agree with everyone that this is one beautiful child!!

Thanks Tammy for posting this. I too haven't changed my 401k amount either. Keeping fingers crossed that this downturn turns upwards soon.

 

[HollyTyler]

crap, you asked. I flaked again. I hate getting up in the morning. I promise to make it up tomorrow...

Nan, what I tell Tyler every night at bedtime works for you too: Tomorrow is a brand new day to try again!

Good thing to say (to Tyler & you, Nan)....also don't beat yourself up over this.

Holly - how did Tyler's day go today?

Not good. Resulted in another child having a bloody mouth. His teacher has noticed that most of the problems are duirng unstructured times. I'm thinking he'd do well in the military some day.

Good part of his day: he did a great job of not speaking out of turn and not disrupting the class. Also doing great with the extra help from special ed classes with reading and writing. We talked about that today after his bedtime book and he told me he really likes the special ed teacher (it's a guy, so that's good for him) and he sees him for a 1/2 hour in the morning with one other 1st grader (from a different class) and a 1/2 hour in the afternoon alone, and this is every day. That should turn out to be a huge help for him and based on the improvements he's already had in 2 weeks academically, I believe he'll be caught up by the end of the school year. We just have to figure out what to do about the impulsiveness of his aggressiveness. That's really the only thing that's a major problem right now.

So that confirms my thoughts I should move cash over FDIC limits to another bank to insure limits are met. What a pain...but the safe thing to do.

The Salvation Army

Didn't think of that!!!! Do they sell Gift Certificates?? I know he'd like that...

I keep telling myself that I want to be heart healthy, because my body doesn't seem that it will ever be that 108 again! Heart healthy is good healthy! Keep going Nan.



Hey and I was born on the east coast! So, it was official!

Thanks.

I'm with you Kelly!!!

I grew literally out of my size 12 along time ago... bone wise...not just the rest... I'm looking towards health this time...

thanks.






Love, love, love all of those movies.

I'm thinking with the mess that I have in my room right now... I could put it all in a pile in the middle and nobody would be able to find it...
