Steadygain's Account Talk

Gail,
Forgive me for jumping in on Cornellia's chat with you. She has been extremely BUSY - I mean really super busy around the clock (probaby should let her PM you on the details).

But anyway she retired in 12/07 - and not a day goes by where she hasn't been stretched to the limits.

Vanguard is excellent - VERY COST EFFECTIVE - VERY SOLID INVESTMENTS.

I'm really happy for you Gail - in fact I'm thrilled for you, as I'm sure Cornellia will be.

BTW - she is the coolest lady!! ;) You have amazing insights

Thanks for stopping by Gail - and do it more often,
Rick

Cornellia, I just love your sense of humor and delightful wit and charm. If any readers got bored hearing about you, or the details of your life, then they are too tired or out of sync to be reading my thread. Please know - in all sincereity - you would more than triple the readers comming.

Cornellia, my sweet delightful friend. It is Sunday morning and I woke feeling on top of the world. It's truly amazing how beautiful I feel and then to see you "in my home" all the more starts my day in the best way possible.

To catch you up with me, the past week or so have been really busy at work and at home. In between patients I've had to frantically obtain many hours of Medical Eduation by the end of June. (which I finally completed on 25 June).My middle daughter, who I've always called "my angel" had a mysterious illness that led her to the emergency room from 10am to about 8pm - until a bed was available in the hospital. She is now doing much better and a beautiful friend of hers from college is here visiting. Then one of my dearest friends had a question about her character - she is a gem - and I was so afraid I said something wrong. On a side note you know how this MB is such a special place to me and it's weird but when you stay in most rapidly losing Fund for weeks at a time you begin to feel very out of place. Start to feel like a real odd ball - yet I have a unique mindset on this and will gladly ride it down as far as it wants to go. But my plan is now "Sell to Win - and don't sell to lose".

Well anyway I'm telling you all this because it is in the very mist of all these things put together (and Lady wasn't here either) - that I found the GREATEST Freedom - Love - Sense of Well Being - Wholeness - and Completeness that I've ever known or experienced. It is just too wonderful to describe but it leaves your body with this warm feeling that feels like a very low simmer of boiling water - where you feel this bubbling all over - like life shining through. Your mind is tranquil - just floating in peace and contentment - and it's more refreshing than sleep (although the sleep has been wonderful as well). So for my life it was the most perfect timing possible and there doesn't appear to be any sign of it fading away. So I will try to stretch this on forever and ever because this is everything I have always hoped for - to have an energy that is like a diamond shinning through and that is how I feel.

Life is simply wonderful when freedom becomes fully realized, when love is not lacking - and you find (or get a real glimspe) of who you are and what you mean, - so please know that love goes both ways and I sincerely appreciate it. It is by far the ultimate path and the more I have the more I give - the more I receive I more I give away - so Cornellia - to you and all the others Thank you! My ultimate hope is that all of us find this place - that it becomes a more enriching experience so that over the years we become the blessing we were meant to be.
 
Well it looks like "The Worst" is on the way. :p

Historically when things appear to be ready to cave in and everyone is ready to bail - that is the time to stay put.

So even though I think the bull is only now being led out of the barn, that certainly does not mean that he's not in the pen and ready to break lose.
 
Cornellia, my sweet delightful friend. It is Sunday morning and I woke feeling on top of the world. It's truly amazing how beautiful I feel and then to see you "in my home" all the more starts my day in the best way possible.

Steady, thanks for the usual warm welcome. There is a certain quality to "your home" that makes it very inviting.:cheesy:

To catch you up with me, the past week or so have been really busy at work and at home. In between patients I've had to frantically obtain many hours of Medical Eduation by the end of June. (which I finally completed on 25 June).
Congratulations on your completing the CME. With a profession like yours, and the intensity with which you tackle everything, I am sure it was a challenge to complete it.

My middle daughter, who I've always called "my angel" had a mysterious illness that led her to the emergency room from 10am to about 8pm - until a bed was available in the hospital. She is now doing much better and a beautiful friend of hers from college is here visiting.

Steady, I hope your daughter is feeling good now and that you have been able to identify that mysterious illness. It's kind of scary but I know you as a man of science were able to pinpoint the cause of her problem.

Then one of my dearest friends had a question about her character
- she is a gem - and I was so afraid I said something wrong. wow, how interesting. I am sure I can also help, you can send her to me if you want to ;) Not sure if I ever mentioned this, but I am also into crystals and love to venture into analyzing the true and inner character of individuals, and I am seldom wrong (the power of my intuition never ceases to amaze me):toung:.

Wow Steady, this is just wonderful, sounds like you found NIRVANA. I have heard and read of a lot of ways in which people describe that blissful state of self-realization, but never heard a description of it in such terms. Of course you have a way with words like no other. Congratulations, and hope it lasts forever.

Life is simply wonderful when freedom becomes fully realized, when love is not lacking - and you find (or get a real glimspe) of who you are and what you mean, - so please know that love goes both ways and I sincerely appreciate it.

Thank you very much. It just feels good to be part of this wonderful experience and of such blessing.

Have a wonderful week,

Cornellia:cool:
 
Steady, I hope your daughter is feeling good now and that you have been able to identify that mysterious illness. It's kind of scary but I know you as a man of science were able to pinpoint the cause of her problem.


Well actually that was very easy.

As a human being she is subjected to all the quorks and mishaps that the body and mind are prone to encounter. In her situation it may be an unknown virus that periodicaly makes itself known...or possibly some allergy...or some cell or chemical was undergoing some type of transformation...

So I have indeed pinpointed the cause as "a mysterous illness that will likely never be defined". :blink::p

But sometimes these "undefinable events" are the very best of all. Maybe - God was protecting her from something else and little do we realize how grateful we should be.

Wow Steady, this is just wonderful, sounds like you found NIRVANA.

Perhaps - but it is something that can only be found within yourself when you come to know in the richest and most fullest measure that the most sacred part of you - I will call this "the young one" - is fully comming to life. With that is the freedom to really be happy with all the chemisty and energy that brings you into being and this more than anything else allows that being to blend with another. It is this "supernatural blending" that brings NIRVANA - this is the ultimate acceptance of who you are and what you are - the full realization that you are like "a magical air" whose magic is now comming to life.


I am also into crystals and love to venture into analyzing the true and inner character of individuals, and I am seldom wrong (the power of my intuition never ceases to amaze me)


Nor should it cease to amaze you - but I can certainly promise you that you have NO NEED for the crystals. They are such a small piece of the overall picture. When you are analyzing "the true and inner character of others" - you are getting in touch with a source that is so far beyond the crystals - and that is why you are seldom wrong. For your heart of hearts knows for certain what the truth is - but everything else basically clouds this. So here I would certainly tell you to set everything else aside and let your heart of hearts open the gates of truth and show you the way. The more you do this the more certain you can be.

You have a Great Week as well :nuts:

Steady :cool:

OK Folks - Time for a Break
(Then I actually have some work to do)



A brief look at the Charts should have us all singing an old Elvis tune "Return to Sender"


You see that letter trying to to go out... and the Markets sing:

They wrote on it... uh huh

RETURN TO SENDER

uh huh...uh huh

ADDRESS UNKNOWN

uh huh...uh huh

NO SUCH NUMBER

uh huh...uh huh

NO SUCH PHONE
OK - so close your doors, shake your hips, roll your head and get in the groove.
 
Thank you, Steady! I went for my lunch walk and was going to ask you to send us some music to help cheer us up, given the market's action, but you already did! I feel much better already!

Mamikin - my long lost friend...welcome home!!!

OK - since you forget what my living room looks like: It is a spacious room with polished green marble floors. It's getting dark outside so the candles scattered throughout the room are creating the ultimate environment. Instantly you're relaxed and energized at the same time and you feel wonderful.

As you get to the center of the room the music starts and you're spell bound.

It's a song by "The Pretenders" ----


Ohhh my Darling...la la laa

Then I come and we start dancing around the room

My love...la la laa.. My Darling....

I dream of your precioius love

the dancing becomes more and more beautiful and we hear


too ooooo ooooo the sea


This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time - you're bound to know it. So close your eyes and visualize yourself floating away


Anytime you ever need a pick me upper -- you know where to come
 
Steady, you are too much, and we all missed you when you took your hiatus, but most importantly, we are all back here now!

Gosh...talk about a trip.. I really spaced out on this one :toung:


Wow... I thought about Dorothy in the Wizzard of Oz at the very end of the movie and she's talking to everyone...and I'm picturing her expression and the expressions of everyone else and she says..

ohh don't you believe me??.... well I guess it doesn't matter...cause the most important thing...is we are all back here now!

Oh Mamikin, I swear I honestly see her picking up Toto and the whole crowd gathered around with warm smiles...

Anyway - thank you - it's good to be back.
 
I just switched the G Fund contributions to S Fund - 100%

When I get back from vacation in a few weeks I plan to roll over 1 or 2 accounts and buy twice the shares I currently hold.

At this point I am in no hurry at all.

The first big move was 6/5 and I plan on buying the remaining shares towards the end of July - August (when I am expecting the worst lows - or the real bottom to occur)

Well have a great 4th everyone and my love to all.
 
See ya Steady, pop in as soon as you get back....

Be Safe!:cool:


Thank you my friend.

As you can see TODAY was perfect for DCAing. That why I always let the contributions go to G - and wait for better opportunities.


Looking forward to getting back in touch with everyone in a few weeks.

My sincere love and gratitude to all of you.
 
It's a little before my time, but that song just happened to be playing on the radio when I proposed to my, then, girlfriend in front of a beach house we rented in the outer banks. Couldn't have planned it any better. Even though I figured she'd accept, it was one of those moments where every sound and sight beyond the two of us kind of hushed until she said "yes." Then the sounds and beautiful surroundings kind of doubled their intensity. That's "our song" now - I'm sure we share it with millions of others. :)

That is absolutely BEAUTIFUL

I will end the day and start my vacation on that !!!

Thank you -- and God Bless
