I really don't care about "classic expressions". We are about to enter a time of change, and the pervasive dead cat-ism should stop.
I have no problem with dead cat-ism....

I greeted Mini on her return from Thanksgiving. Rain Man took such good care of me, I never escaped even though my cage had two gaping holes in it. He was a great Mouse Dad, and he made me the nicest headstone with mouse cartoons on it. But mom says no more rodents.
What do you mean no more rodents? What has she got against us?
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

We will be there 1/24-28, but don't tell the kids. We plan on surprising them on 1/23.

You stink when you're alive, you stink when you die, and no one wants to take care of you while we're gone! :P

Believe me, I'd have a reptile myself if I thought I could get my m-i-l to take care of it. But maybe that would keep her out of my house altogether! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... :twisted:

This would be 1/30-2/02. It's a Super Bowl thing........

Tampa's out. Everything's booked already. If the Jets or Giants make it, then Mini-me and dad take the drive from Orlando to Tampa for the game. If not, then just a weekend with The Mouse since we already have passes and the kids are out of school that Friday anyway. Most likely the whole crew will go unless Stephen can't miss Friday and Monday since he's not in the public schools. If the Jets make it, we have to get a ticket for one of the Knuckleheads in Steve's crew since he's like family and the biggest Jets fan ever, but he's an OT in the public school system so his budget doesn't run to SB tickets.

A lot of the details are still up in the air, obviously......

This miser has lost somewhat more than that. :cry:
I'm doing well.

The past year, the market's been off, what- 40%?

I'm only down 18% in that time.

I have stopped opening my statements.

We do have our quarterly meeting in a few weeks, so I will have to take my head out of my butt for an hour or so then.

I guess I'll just have to give up that plan to retire at 35.....

Out 401K's aren't all WMT stock. The profit sharing and obviously the stock purchase plan is though.....

And it's still a few bucks below where it was when I got in the stock program in April 1999..... it would be nice if all those years of "buying low" will eventually pay off....

Not true - the trust fund that my mother set up for me is heavily invested in Walmart* stock and it's down. Granted it's not down as much as some stocks, but down nevertheless.

I guess it depends on when it was purchased. It's been about the same price for the last ten yerars.
