My new friend, Samial, is decidedly less attentive these last few days, after having stepped up his campaign. Successfully. And that is surprisingly disturbing given his age, location, and alcoholic tendencies. I usually go for the emotionally unavailable but physically unavailable must have seemed just as safe. So sad. Not that he’s backed off but that I care.
Flylady says it’s time to do the front porch and walkway, or at least that’s what I have to deal with. I cut back the roses, pulled clover, and filled the recycle bin up with the piles my housesitter made under the rhodies. I should pay that guy some more money but I don’t want to encourage him.
The market goes up and I just sit here and watch vicariously, missing out. I don’t trust it and I don’t have the money to lose in case I am right.

my gut says don’t trust it either. not for a long while…
Did you see the tv special the other night about money? When they got to the stock market, the word was “sit tight.” I was already doing that, so I guess I’m okay. Oddly enough, even in this economy, I’m doing pretty well – knocking on wood as I’m writing that! – and the only place I’m really feeling a pinch is foodwise, and that’s not really a pinch.
I am still far from recovery of the loss from stock market!
We got out last winter and are staying out until things settle. My guess is another 2 years before things are fully stable. But I am no analyst…
Hi Prudy,
Just checking in…saying “Hi”. I never really changed my portfolio (I was pretty diversified) and have continued to pump money into some mutual funds every month to take advantage of the down market. I may live to regret it. In fact that would be nice. I would hate to die with a lot of money still on the table.
