If he is skilled at picking his own stocks, the internet is just another way to make trades, at a somewhat lower cost. Sort of like booking airfare online is now cheaper than actually talking to someone at the airline. I have brokerage accounts which I always trade online, but I could also talk to them if I wanted/needed to. Despite the large drops in the last year, there is no assurance that the market will recover any time soon. In the 30's, there were 6 or 7 rallies of more than 20%, but it kept going down to less than 1/8th of the peak value. The market as a whole can drop a lot from where it is today, and individual stocks can fare much worse (or better). If he thinks the market is cheap and doesn't want to pick stocks, buying either mutual funds (professional picks stocks) or an index fund might make sense. You can buy/sell those online, or talk to a broker. I watch the market closely, but am pretty uninspired regarding investing just now. GF is going to get laid off, I need to do a major house remodel, etc., so I don't want to tie up more cash for years.

Certainly can, if you load them into your shotgun.

I don't see anything about a noose, but it is obviously THE famous mannequin http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330302076555

I find it amusing that Coleman, when he initially "won" by a very small margin, said that if the shoe were on the other foot, he would not be petitioning for a recount. Now that the shoe IS on the other foot, he want a re-recount. Franken is the better person for the office.

Another Ned link. I laughed out loud at the end, when he was asking for a pile of (non-offered) options. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-Irs1ewDoM&feature=related

Umm, hasn't started yet.

Basal cell carcinoma. Just appeared a few months ago as a flat firm place, no discoloration. Started getting more obvious 8 weeks ago. I was hoping not to start getting them for another 10-15 years.

Barbados for 10 days in January. Mostly kicking back, drinking Bajun rum. I'll do some scuba diving if this hole in my head from yesterday is okay by then. Long weekend New Years skiing/snowshoeing at Kirkwood.

I hope you didn't buy any foreign made TV's, stereos, etc. in the 70's or 80's. If so, you deserve any unemployment that comes your way.

No change. Haven't gone up in quite a few years, either. Still $15 walkup, $13 block.

Keep it up, and this could be you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNC8onldlj8&feature=related

What do you consider "major?" Here is my local Bay Area dealer. http://www.reedsindoorrange.com/guns.html

That would be "Y" and "Y" again.

Maybe a theme park, with nine circles of hell. If done on a widespread basis, it wouldn't be "cruel and unusual," just "cruel."

Well, most of those Bible folks were Jesish, but Hebrews is New Testament.

So you won't raise a weapon or a hand to defend yourself and fight back if someone is trying to kill you? That's "slaying," not "killing," so that is okay.

I predict that Bush will be back to getting drunk, starting late January.

I love a sole mate -- you can walk all over them. It is the soul mates who require a bit more care.

I tend to agree with someone I heard interviewed on NPR a few years ago. He was an executioner, from somewhere in eastern Europe, IIRC. He had come to be against capital punishment. His reason was that it was over too quick, and the offender did not have to live with the consequences of his actions, and suffer, for long enough.

You don't want it popping through, getting strangulated, getting gangrene. Small hernias can actually be more likely to to that than larger ones. The larger rips have more room for your guts to move back in. If that is what it is, get it fixed. It is easy.

Mine are absolutely prawnlike in their convexity.

Here ya go. Nostril zit

They are just setting the calibration level of their nose to "full scale."
