For experienced investors , can you lock up your capital in the market to prevent loss?

I'm not too hopeful. They sound quite suspicious to me.

Becoming afraid to live?

Finding people with similar intetests is a great help.

Have you ever considered joining the Masons?

Yes. I just think Democratic Party operatives are using these students. One day it will come out.

Job Fairs.

I think raising (or more correctly, rearing) a child is the most important job in the world.

And it had been until the 1970s.

We have seen the results of children being raised by strangers.

Well . . . she did you wrong by not telling you, but she was afraid that would get her excluded as a tenant.

However, she has already dropped the pesky critters in your home, and if you take her back to her old place, you will still have them to deal with. And you won't be getting any rent money to offset your costs for the pest treatment.

BUT she must fully cooperate and wash all of her bedding in hot water, and even before the exterminators get there, her furniture should be sprayed with insecticide. Anything that cannot be completely ridden of the bugs must be thrown out! Do NOT let her remove anything from your house during the treatment that may contain the bugs--and allow them to reenter your home.

If she is without a job, it's going to take her some time to get a new one.

We must, however, also take into account that bedbugs are very difficult to eradicate, and she probably had no idea what to do about them. They are probably the reason she sought to move. Her landlord should have done something about them. An infestation of bedbugs or roaches is enough to constitute "constructive eviction" if the landlord refuses to do anything about them.

Interestingly enough, Pepper, MOST US homes before WWII had bedbugs from time to time. Everyone knew what was meant by the old admonition, "Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite!"

How to stop mass shootings.

Here's some interesting statistics from 2014:

1. 248 people were killed by rifles--including the type used by the Florida shooter.
2. 1,567 were killed by knives.
3. 660 people were killed by blows struck by fists or feet.
4. 435 people were killed by blunt objects, e.g., hammers and clubs.

So your odds of being beaten to death are much greater than of dying from a rifle shot. Ditto for being stabbed. In fact, over three times as many people were beaten to death with fists, feet or blunt objects than were shot to death with a rifle.

Imagine when you're old, and you depend on that walker, or wheelchair or motorized wheelchair to get you around. Do you really want to go toe-to-toe with an attacker who is much bigger and stronger than you are?

Do you want to be on the phone, waiting for the police, as the attacker kicks in your door?

Or would you rather have an option for saving your life, e.g., a firearm?

More than a few people have been killed after dialing 911. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away!

For an entire house they will drape the house in plastic and heat it up.

Sorry you are having to deal with those things--never experienced them but I hear they will drive people insane. You wake up all bloody in the morning, and itchy from the bites.

They wait until the lights are turned out, and then they seek out their prey.

There's no immunity to that heat treatment, though.

You would have thought she would have known about the bedbugs--and you would think she had been bitten quite a bit, already!

This is a long one, so please bear with me.

Pretty nice, huh?
