Thank you to all of our veterans; I hope you never have to do it again.

That's really fantastic! I'm in the process of educating myself about puts and calls before I start doing anything with them. My understanding of them at this point is zilch. I did good with Bank of America but the gain was more than offset by losses on Apple, Amazon and Google. I think I got buy low sell high switched around for a while there.

I find options trade dif'ly depending on primary exchange home of the underlying stock.. ie,, a stock that trades mostly on the floor is harder to chart/forecast because you are not trading with/against a community of traders but instead against a floor trader who can and will move it any way to save his azz ,, (what do you expect when a cokehead has control of the money right? lol)


the naz stocks tend to trade more honestly

2016 Veterans Day Freebies, Retail Discounts, and Special Offers

If you are a Vet, it's worth signing up for his periodic newsletter ..

I will be heading out shortly, for a day spent visiting my Fellow Brothers in Arms at the Jefferson Barracks VA Center in St Louis .. I'll be bringing my old Martin in a feeble attempt to regale those that care to listen .. and, will go room to room to the shut in's as time permits ..

As I generally do during Holidays, I'd like to once again encourage you to consider giving back thru Volunteerism in your local Communities .. there are always folks that appreciate and need help .. you don't have to give money, just some time .. most all areas have some sort of Community Outreach that can help guide you toward where Human Resources are needed .. even small things like checking in on folks, lending an ear, making some calls just to see if a person is doing OK .. they will appreciate it, yet you are likely to gain the most in a feeling of doing good .. it never hurts to add some positivity to the Karma Bank .. while you can't change the World, you can add some joy to someone's life .. .. this is especially true during this upcoming Holiday Season ..

Lastly, I would encourage all Veterans to post their affiliation and/or deployment ::

4th Infantry, Camp Holloway, Pleiku Province, South Vietnam, Combat Medic

Salute to all of you ..

Lest we forget why:

"The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and Respectable Stranger," George Washington famously declared, "but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations and Religions, whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment."

"[L]et the poor the needy and oppressed of the Earth, and those who want Land, resort to the fertile plains of our western country, the second land of Promise, and there dwell in peace, fulfilling the first and great commandment."
George Washington letter to David Humphreys
Date: July 25, 1785

Hey Mice, listened to about 30 min of the book, pretty interesting about the different ethnic groups, their beliefs and how they are spread around N America. I have to listen to that again I fell asleep the last 10min cause I was in bed. Very interesting though.

Arggggh....I truly hope that whoever was contracted to replace the water mains on my street is not being paid additional money for the do over and over that has been happening right outside my front door... This project was to have been finished by October... I am beginning to lose count of how many times they have dug it up, patched it....came back.... repeated.... and now the giant jackhammer machine, backhoe, dump trucks and other construction equipment is out there digging it up again, shaking my apartment and making my dog go crazy with barking...

Call the City & give them an earful. It's rediculous.

Thanks for posting the videos, Letters from Home has always brought tears to my eyes. Also, a heartfelt thanks for all that you do in your community service for our veterans.

OH! I'm very glad you are enjoying it!
I'm an American History buff, my wife Herz Elf would say "pathological obsessive", but it's best not to put too much stock in what she says about me

The surprising lesson from that book, for me, was the staying power of regional culture regardless of genetic make up.
I hope it's a fun read for you!

I select the area of the frame that I want to keep. The software gets rid of the rest and enlarges the kept area to the full size of the frame. It's the same principle as cropping a photo except it's cropping about 60 photos for each one second of video.

Love it!!

I want to express my thanks to all our military, past and present, for their service to our country and our freedoms.

To all of our Veterans on the Porches. Thank you for going above & beyond what could be expected of any individual. I don't believe that service such as yours should ever be expected of anyone. How you came to serve is beside the point. You went, & you did as asked which is a totally selfless act. You've been a part of providing something that my family & I are so incredibly blessed & privilaged to enjoy. Peace & precious freedom in our own homes. Thank you, & God bless each of you.

Well, that worked.

"We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes - something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view." - Aldo Leopold
