Thankfully, I'm only down 6.5% and I trust the investment company I have more than any other (although that still isn't saying much...) My dad on the other hand - he's been sitting on it and checking every HOUR. Gaaaaawd.

BUT, when he does check, he immediately goes ballistic and starts acting like I'm blowing every paycheck on Dior or something. Retire? Well, we still have some time.

Isn't there anyone smart enough to decipher this bs? Evidently, the Washington Post said there isn't, that is why they keep having these meetings. No one knows. I'm heading for the gym tomorrow.Purple Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831681595310623140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-15201575676251329252008-09-26T18:11:00.000-07:002008-09-26T18:11:00.000-07:00Hooray for YOGA!!!!Hooray for YOGA!!!!KatieGirlBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016320685724162946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-30975018902267470632008-09-26T16:32:00.000-07:002008-09-26T16:32:00.000-07:00Sounds like my husband.Sounds like my husband.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-72810296061034638082008-09-26T13:14:00.000-07:002008-09-26T13:14:00.000-07:00Ugh.

Her "glass is half-empty" mentality extends far beyond her investments, though. If the weather indicates "a chance of rain" on Monday, then according to her, "it's going to rain all week". What's a girl to do? I'm with you on the yoga. I'll add running to that, though. Literally, not figuratively!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573589482128669479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-2839463762553755872008-09-26T12:34:00.000-07:002008-09-26T12:34:00.000-07:00I phoned my mom the other day and said, "Umm...
