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
Hi Gail, I will send you a PM so we don't get readers too bored in Steady's thread with "my life" LOL
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.
Steady, thanks so much for letting me know that Gail wrote and your comments, you are the coolest dude!!! No wonder WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!

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:.
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". I know you will do good.
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.
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. 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.
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!
That is the absolute total truth, and we all thank you!Anytime you ever need a pick me upper -- you know where to come
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![/quote]
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.
See ya Steady, pop in as soon as you get back....
Be Safe!

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.
