This and that

I thought that the furnace in our house had gone on the fritz and even though I have turned all the thermostats WAY down and opened the windows, it is still suffocatingly hot. 

“What is wrong with the heat?“  I asked Don and Will.  “Why is it so darn hot in here?“  They exchanged a look.

“It’s not,“ Will said. 

“Are you kidding?  It’s boiling in here.“  I turned to Don.  “Aren’t you hot?“

“No.“ 

So, now I am sitting on the sofa, typing to you, with a gel ice pack wrapped in a towel under my feet and one draped around my neck and I feel almost human again.

I am trying to resist the urge to write about the markets.  I figure, everybody is talking about it now.  We are getting inundated with one report after the other, so unless there is something really, really important, I’m going to hold off.  But what I said before, still holds.  Make sure you are saving what ever you can.  Clear out whatever debt you can, as soon as you can.  If you have a job, even if you don’t love it, hang tight.  Unemployment is going to start rearing it’s head big time in the upcoming year.  Don’t take on any new unnecessary expenditures.

And last but not least, thank you, sergey79.  That was kind of you.  When I wrote my rampage a few days ago, I didn’t actually expect anyone to come to my rescue.  I was very touched.
