any stock market gurus or exp.

I think that the very instant you start to lose money, you should drop the stock.

I guess that makes me "risk averse" in economic terms, but I hate to lose money.

And it's funny that I would be risk averse in that situation, because I'm leveraged to the hilt (which is pretty risky behavior). I guess it depends on the type of investment (?)

My husband is in the stock market, but he's just messing around, trying to figure it out in a similar way you are, I think. He puts in $50 a month and has made (over a year) about $50. Haha :)

Hi.

The time travel machine sounds exciting! Let me know how that comes along. I need to get back to my youth and do some things over :) I'm so sorry about the cane. I'm older too...and life has whizzed by far too quickly :( so in that regard, I feel your pain. I hope that you don't have a lot of pain related to your cane

Are you intimidated by intelligent people?

I have a friend who is highly intelligent. She has 3 PhDs and 4 master's degrees. She doesn't have student loan debt because she is so smart that she figured out ways of having school paid for or figured out how to maximize her dollars....or MAKE MORE dollars. She had her mortgage on a 10 year note, for example, and there were times her family survived on hot dogs as a result, but now..... (what can I say?)

She doesn't "show off" or any such thing.

However, talking to her on a daily basis makes me realize just HOW MUCH she "knows...." in a "well rounded" way, too, if that makes sense.

I think that she gets frustrated with people who "don't think things through," and that can make her sort of "catty."

I love her to death. I love being around her. I love her insight and her way of thinking about things. I love the advice she can give me. I love the fact that she is a great problem solver and is insightful and honest. I especially love LEARNING From her. But she intimidates the hell out of me. I feel like a bumbling idiot....NOT that SHE has EVER done anything to make me feel bad, either. It's just my own knowledge that she can run circles around me in her head.

I'm sure that there are plenty of other highly intelligent people who I have had encounters with, unknowingly, who could also run circles around me. In fact, I can think of two past acquaintences right now. And they also intimidated me in our short "acquaintence-ship"

Incidentally, my friend has a son who is autistic. It's been very hard for her to deal with him. But she has....and she home schools him in a way that makes life meaningful and happy for him....

Marriage is like drowning: kind of nice, once you stop struggling.

Hahahahaha. I'd have to say I agree, @SmartAZ

Getting to know HelpQA family..

Born and raised in Colorado, USA, in a dinky, run down town that just happens to be the highest town in the USA @ 2 miles above sea level. (!0152 feet)

Other than growing up there, I've lived all over CO and still do....

I guess my hope is that I can eventually have a little tiny house in Colorado and one in Florida or Georgia or South Carolina and travel between the two. But that would mean that I would need a LOT of money, so...guess not.

I just think that living on a beach AND living on a mountain couldn't be beat

Love to snowmobile, and ski, but also love to sink my toes in the sand and jump into waves....

Besides the desire to live on the beach and on a mountain, I would LOVE to be a temporary ex pat and live in Croatia or Slovenia, the birthplaces of my Grandparents for five or ten years, enjoying the lifestyle of the Meditteranean area... again, lots 'o money, so probably not....

And, my proudest achievements are that my husb and I are still together after 20 years; and we have four wonderful kids. Wouldn't mind one more, even....but again, prob not lol.

Talking with my mom makes me sad.

I feel you. My mom is so much the same. Bitter, mean and hateful. But she's always been that way.

It's hard to have a mom like that, because mom is who we are supposed to be able to go to for comfort; when we don't get that, it's really a downer. I'm sorry your mom is like that.

I would say that since it's a relatively new thing, maybe it could be hormonal or something. Have her get her thyroid checked
