Happy Thursday! I have exactly one more Thursday of work left here, Jan 3. Woot woot.
I can't find our waffle maker and dammit, we may have sold it at the garage sale. That would suck.

type faster.Woke up at midnight by my alarm, fired up the reservation web page, and saw there were sites available. Picked one. Started filling out the form, and by the time I hit submit someone else had already completed the reservation because I got a message that "the site I picked was no longer available." Went back and looked if any other sites were open: everything was filled.
is nao a good time to buy things?
Major work here since the 1960's banking mainframes didn't anticipate home values for HELOC loans to exceed $9,999,999.99

Oh the days of '99, so awesome.
You'll need a case of Shamwow...1"? We are looking at 3"+ a day for the next 10+ days.
Much more better... and now I have a new avatar for 2019 as well.
Yeah I'm super conflicted on what to do here... really wanted this to be the "birthday ride" but it ain't happening. Clearly.
you would think if you have it picked.....no one else should be able to pick it while you are doing the paperwork....Woke up at midnight by my alarm, fired up the reservation web page, and saw there were sites available.

cancel christmas....go tankless....your kids are young....they will not remember a missed christmas....
Floors are in. Now I can start painting!
I think a lot of people are going to realize something important during this:
Their risk tolerance is actually quite a bit lower than they thought
I'm disappointed that he didn't write a bot in Python to do this all for him in the middle of the night.
Absolutely. Make sure to decline it with the "Do not send a response" option...
There will be no self-reflection from investors, just unfounded optimism when markets rise again and unfounded despair when they dip.
You’re a Python bot.I'm disappointed that he didn't write a bot in Python to do this all for him in the middle of the night.
Polish up that resume bro!
14% drop from peak in Sept. We're past correction and sliding towards bear market. I'm generally not a fan of market timing, but opportunity is opportunity. *NASDAQ just hit bear since I wrote this an hour ago*
Ladies and Gentlemen - Right here we have a winner!
I didn't try to time the market. This is just when I've come across some cash flow, this latter unexpectedly. (I think my work might have reimbursed me for something by accident, because I don't remember submitting such an expense. Go figure.)
I have a waterproof car cover that goes on for the next 2ish months. Sad.
This is the time of "trying to catch a falling knife"...
wait so are we investing or stuffing it under our mattresses? i just let my guy do the thing, and not worry about it.
oh, my new floormats arrived! Let's get messy
Or he could just fart in his direction. Always makes me feel better.
He could also czech the job openings on his market.
"Hey, this looks just like what I do! Wait...."
Agreed, but there is a message on one of the screens that says something to the effect of "your reservation isn't reserved until you get to the confirmation screen" or some such nonsense. IMNSHO it should be more like a shopping cart... and it clears after X time if you abandon it or whatever. Super bummed, actually.
being risk tolerant doesn't mean you ever enjoy watching many $$ of gains disappear.
So this is the Trumpet's Trickle Down economics as I see my retirement savings trickling down....and down....
145 fucking boring miles to go on I5 until i get home
Yes.
If we hit 7% gains in a diversified portfolio (stocks) over 20 years, we are happy.
I ain't talkin' 'bout you. I'm talking about the people who invariably panic, sell at the bottom, then gripe for the next 20 years how it's "someone else's" fault that their retirement nest egg went into the shitter.
They are the same thing. You have to be willing to watch near term losses when taking the risk for long-term gains.
