After helping Terry with his new laptop pc for a couple hours at Pekara, another resident of Times Center in level two, shortly after a black homeless nice guy saw and stopped to speak with me wanting to sell some things he picked up from the VA in Danville after a visit this morning. I bought two jackets, one a light coat, the other more of a heavy duty windbreaker with the Army gold lettering and a pair of gloves for $22.00 dollars. A great buy especially considering my financial circumstances.

Sold remaining stock in my Roth IRA on thursday. BAC, Bank of America was worth $42.00 dollars per share when I purchased but was then hit with the economic meltdown, housing rip off, what was $12,000 dollars was sold for just over $1900. If I'd left it alone I'd be sitting much better though wishing I'd bought a rising stock always lingers long after the meltdown. I hope my future investments pay off far well above and beyond my losses to help bridge the gap from what I've lost.

Must do more research and make better choices. Still undecided if I really want to throw caution to the wind and simply focus on college right now at age 48 or try to hop scotch more quickly ahead getting back into the workforce and building retirement now or soon. I don't have forever. I don't want to sit around broke, ie. Government disability checks and I don't want to work forever but rather scale down to part time after the current retirement age of 67 but right now there is also a law that allows seniors to work full time and not pay many taxes to beef up their retirements going forward. Would be really great to be able to incorporate that ability into my current regime. So many choices, not many second chances, little time. Feeling a little pressure.�

    SAHUOY's Interests:

    About Me: I like myself and am stubborn enough to go my own way.

    Interests: True stories, discovery, investigative and some fiction.

    Favorite Music: TV is mostly junk, reruns, misinformation, spin, politics, too much Hollywood: admit it now everything is not that good but they say it is to keep the show going. Tell this to Pavlov next time his bodyless dog salivates when the bell rings. When interested, Formula 1, Survivor, TDC, TLC, History, Military, Olympics, some news.

    Favorite Television: Louis LaMour is one of the greatest story writers. Pure adventure in the American West home range. If only other books could be written with the same passion, interests and flare for adventure. Dictionary, Art Of War, Sherlock Holmes, Lost Moon and many, many others.
