On logic, there are some good books on thinking paradoxes we fall into or are actually built into our brains.
Some are specifically financial.

Yes, an appraiser may be the right person to talk to. Agents just want you to sell or buy 'cause they make money on any transaction.

I think I best sleep on it now and see what the morning brings. Hopefully ygmir has a good pot of coffee on to wake me up and get busy with what has to be done.

g'night gyre, I appreciate you keeping me company through these mental hijinks.

Good night.
Snow sounds good, at least as a change.
It's been monsoon season here.

*wandering in*..........

*makes coffee*

breakfast?

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 4:44 am

Brought my mug, ygmir;

Don't think I could eat any of that meat. Looks good but I'm a cereal kind of morning person. I'll just have some oatmeal, thanks.

We had snow yesterday so I think winter is actually here.

Brought some kindling for the fire:

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 5:00 am

HI Deb............

thanks for the kindling.........good idea, I was struggling with my bic lighter and logs.........

Sometimes, I like dinner for breakfast, and prime rib just seemed good..........

but, if you prefer oatmeal..............good on ya.............

Wow, snow........I'm a winter person, so, I'm jealous...........We had an early winter type storm here the other day..........took my power out for 2 full days.........good thing I have backup generators.........I keep about 200 lbs of meat frozen for the year...........

have you tried the granite for leatherwork yet? Just making sure you didn't crack it...........chuckle..........

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 5:20 am

Yes, I have been working on leather projects and the granite is perfect for the job. Heavy though, wow, that was a job to bring it in from the camper!!!

I understand.......I rode it to your camp on my bike...........

I was thinking I should have drug it behind the bike (it wouldn't hurt it), and, made is a perfomance art thing on the way..........

HI PM...........might be a thought for next year.........chuckle........

What is "Moon Rocks"?.........or, maybe, where?
I'm not thinking of crashing the party, just wonderin' if it's a neat place?
I'd assume so, since, you folks are going...........

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 6:36 am

was trying to think of the word you meant, ygmir. Is it acolytes?

Anyway, when I said crazy, I was referring to the nutcase in Cleveland who stands at the streetcorner with a great big cross admonishing all who see him that the end is nigh upon us.

I'm a lay reader in my church but I don't go for the over-the-top shenanigans of the fundies. Mostly just interested in making sure that the ones at the bottom rung have got food and shelter.

Sorry to see you're having a real bad day, Goathead.

Maybe a little Betty Boop to help you crack a smile?

Gotta love Betties.

How about Betty Grable instead?

Violence isn't really my thing.

Nothing planned for tonight.

Big Libra B-day party get together tomorrow night.

I'm giving this computer 5 more minutes to finish what it's doing, then I am shutting it down whether done or not.

TGIF!

It's been a good week for me. I met my rehab counselor yesterday. I'll be getting about 60 bucks for gas for my job search and my classes starting Nov.2nd. I'll be taking a week long class on job hunting, dress for success, interveiw skills, etc...

I started my Paxil med the day I got home from the desert. I didn't want to start a new med out there. A month and a half on the seratonine reuptake inhibitor. I'm sleeping better and have more energy. Paxil is not as strong as the Zoloft I used to be on. It's less expensive too. Only 9 bucks instead of 30 at wal-mart. I see my med counselor the 30th at the mental health facility, I've been getting my interim prescription from the county heath department.

I got a large tv from a craiglister this week, and I have been watching all my cd's and vhs tapes on a couple of new players I got at a yardsale. I haven't been online much this week.

I got a inch and a half of rain this week, lawn looks good; I mowed the day before the rain. Playa got washed off my Geo.

Garden done this year, I ate my tomatos. After I pay $500 property tax, I have $282 left for Nov and Dec to live on. I hope I get a job in November,I need it. I might have to sell my old trailer or RV. I sold my Harley back in April to pay off my credit card debt. I'm luckier than a lot of folks here, I own my own house. I still get foodstamp money on my EBT card, and I have MediCal health insurance approved thru January when I have to apply for renewal( every 6 months.) The insurance was backdated to August approval date so that $537 mental health evalution bill was forgiven.

So, all my bills have been paid and I have a 2 month buffer with enough cash to meet the new year. And I have no debt...

Here's to a beer budget and the taste to enjoy it!
