Even then it was only for an hour or so.               Sounds like "a fair weather worker". :P               JM> One day the chief of police was in our office "suggesting" Debbie go        JM> out and ticket. She replied she would and kept on playing.

Half is in bonds. Pays little but safe, and half is in the        JM> market.               You'd do better with Monopoly money. :P               JM> One has to be in for the long haul and not get jumpy when the market        JM> goes up and down like it does. Just hang on and enjoy the roller        JM> coaster ride. :)               I'd rather be on the Merry Go Round...but then I'd be worried about being       overtaken by the horse behind me. |
