I know, Kalni. I'm shocked a bit too. I am cautiously optimistic that it can continue.
We'll see.
My summer will work out ok and I'll be busy w/working on my stuff for teaching, spending time w/my D and trying to see where my new relationship is heading. It will be a summer of change, but good changes and more moving forward.
Kerry, I agree! I've been to the bottom (or I'm darn close to it, now), so up is the only way. I'll do what I can to keep you on the list for insider secrets so you can sell high and reap massive profits.
We'll have to circumvent the SEC, but I think we can do it. I'm pretty sure the SEC doesn't monitor the DB boards.
The SEC is the securities and exchange commission here in the US. I was using it as a reference to being listed as a "stock" by Kerry. The SEC makes sure our market is run fairly (or at least they are supposed to).
As for circumvent, that would mean to "go around."
I hope this helps add to your ever-expanding English vocabulary!
The SEC could also refer to the insignificant South East Conference of college sports. The only conference that really matters in college sports is the PAC 10!
I love the PAC-10! I'm bitter that my D ruined my financial situation and forced me to not renew my Husky season tickets this year! Oh, well. I'll get back on next year and be up in the PNW for a game or two very soon. This is a transition season anyway, right?
About my finances, I'm close to the point where I may be looking to take the hit and get it over with so I can start fresh. I'm underwater - close to $70K wracked up all b/c of the D - and while I'd do it again as I spent to try and save my family, my house, and my D, I'm scraping by and I don't like that feeling at all.
XW and I have settled our finances as she cut me a check for the pensions yesterday. She also told me I can have the proceeds from the sale of the ring, so I'm going to look to move that for the $600 or so rather than try and sell it off for higher.
I'm getting along very well w/the new lady. She really does like me and my feelings are the same for her. She moved into her new place this weekend and I spent Sunday evening and yesterday helping her w/some projects.
It was good to see her stress level come down quite a bit this weekend and we had a lot of fun just hanging out w/each other.
So, that's my report for now. I'll check back in w/you all later.
