The Isolated Blurt Thread III: Thread of Darkness

I tried posting on the Author's Hangout a while back and got chewed to pieces.

You know, the Gee Bee used to be the scary board. Not anymore!

I used to write for a living, take it from me they are a badass group.

Ever since she went back to work she doesn't seem to think she has to do any of the house chores, especially the ones involving her and her sons laundry. We're up to 4 baskets sitting in the hallway now. Talking to her is like talking to a wall. Not my only peeve with her these days but apparently the one I've decided to focus on today. So aside from my baking I will be folding and clearing out my hallway even though I was told not to touch her clothes. BS! Don't leave them in the hall for 3 weeks and we wouldn't have this problem. grrr.

All my Christmas presents are wrapped. Now to get the tree decorated and go grocery shopping for the big feast and I'm done!

Keep burning your bridges while you're standing on on them and eventually you're going to get wet, son. I recommend you check yourself.

That dances and chirps a song to music. It's a total ear worm too.

The Bubble Maker-In-Chief cut QE from throwing $85 billion of gasoline on the bonfire per month to $75 billion of gasoline per month and that's somehow significant?


People are deranged.

Trysail and my dad should talk. And I don't mean that as an insult either.

The problem, of course, is that everybody thinks they're going to be able to use the same exit door at the same time. Everybody's watching the Fed and the truth is that everybody ISN'T going to fit through that door simultaneously.

Always leave the party just a little early. You'll feel better in the morning.

Les Miserables (the 2012 movie) brings back memories.

Good advice but easier said than done.

The professionals have underperformed badly in the last couple of years and are under intense pressure to "chase the rabbit." The investment consultants and clients all want to know why their accounts aren't "up 30%" this year.

Very, very few fund managers beat a common index fund on a consistent basis. Yet millions of people give them their money anyway. People are sometimes stupid.
