xwave radio is going all old-school punk - neato! More internet notes: if you download too much, comcast will cut you off.

Yesterday I sold some of my loser stocks, xm at a 50% loss and sirius at 34% down. Lucky I didn't put much in them. I also dumped SNDA (chinese gaming) at about what I paid for it. I've decided I'm better off paying the higher-interest loans than trying to win the stock market. I'm also keeping my old car rather than buying a new one. I feel like I should stablize my financial situation more - the raise when I got my GS-14 was only about $140 per check.

The sudden weight gain was a scale glitch, in fact I seem to be down 3 lbs from the 2 I gained. Never trust the scale's single reading, only what it says consistently over 3 days. Expect to weigh 2 lbs less in teh AM than the evening, and 3 lbs less after any areobic sweaty stuff. If you don't like your weight, take clothes off until the scale tells you want you want to hear.

I'm trying to be less dull, and failing, but silence isn't my style. I'm spending a lot of time alone and with family, which doesn't leave me much to ramble about. I sound so self-centered!

strange to dump the satellite radio stocks now when within 30 days they are going to come down with a merger decision.

I don't see it changing their value - they went up in anticipation of that decision, and taking it now and running. It's been much worse for a long time - my worst failure in the stock market to date :)

I'm reducing my exposure to this risk. I also don't mind balancing out my other "wins" that I sold this fiscal year.
