I know a few of you have been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, wore it out. for the new guy, I got a little more return each day for about the 1st year. since then, I've been on steady hold- no gains but more importantly, no major losses. what helped me through was a good woman whom I dated a few times in high school before my sci, and 3 wonderful kids to keep me busy. I finished college at Wayne State Univ. in Detroit in '72 and came out to Arizona in '74 to escape the cold and seek my fortune. I taught high school for a few years and then worked as a programmer for Honeywell for 25 years before they gave my job away to India. Now I'm retired and burning up my retirement pension waiting for 65 when I'll have to switch over to my 401k. I sure hope the market turns back up so I can pump it up a bit more b/4 I tap into it. what happens to us in life is not nearly so important as what we do about it. Sure this whole sci thing sucks and is definitely a bad deal, but what one does with the cards he is dealt is what makes all the difference. We quads are tough, no doubt about it - now go out and prove to yourself and everyone else that it isn't the end - you can still make some good lemonade out of this mess. Congrats to you all for making it as far as you have. Success is just a whole bunch of small victories strung together. Slip through those days like I slipped through May 24th..... I was so busy I forgot all about it being my 41st milestone.
