  1. Brilliant deduction, considering the fact that <b>no one</b> ever gets sent to prison for just 7 weeks. Look up the difference between prison and jail, and you might just learn something new today. :p

    Regarding your faulty pattern recognition skills... well, sorry- but there's only so much I can do for ya.

    P.S. More good news: Hey everyone, guess what? I'm still an ass-virgin!!! :D

    Should we attribute today's big drop to your short selling?

    On a serious note, have you ever watched the show Intervention on A&E? They show some really intense addicts and their struggle to get sober.

    Are you back trading? The last few weeks have been a little more lively than usual. Would be awesome if you got out just in time for an Oct 87 rerun.

    Former Olympian Montgomery sentenced to five years on heroin charges
    Associated Press

    NORFOLK, Va. -- Former track star Tim Montgomery has been sentenced to five years in prison on heroin charges in Virginia.

    Montgomery was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of more than 100 grams of heroin. He entered his guilty plea in July under an agreement with the government.

    He will serve the five-year term after he completes a four-year prison sentence he's serving for a check-kiting conspiracy in New York.

    A contrite Montgomery apologized to Judge Jerome B. Friedman at his hearing.

    Montgomery won an Olympic gold medal in the 400-meter relay at the 2000 Sydney Games and a silver in the same event four years earlier. A doping scandal wiped his achievements from the books.

  7. What's the venue for your case?

  8. I'm hearing of a proposition on the California ballot that would send non violent drug offenders to rehabs instead of jails, maybe your timing is good RM. Putting addicts in jail is nuts considering we have meds that can help them and therapists that can help them as well. Better to spend the money on that than on the stupid gladiator academies.

  9. "Are you back trading?"

    -----> Yes.

    "What's the venue for your case?"

    -----> It's probably not in my best interests to disclose that here. I'm sure you can understand.

    BTW, I see no need to verify or prove anything I've mentioned in this thread. Anyone who's familiar with my posts, yet somehow thinks I'd invent this kind of story doesn't have the pattern recognition skills to belong on a message board for traders to begin with.
    (I'm not implying that you personally would doubt anything I've said... Just an fyi directed at those who do.)

    "I'm hearing of a proposition on the California ballot that would send non violent drug offenders to rehabs instead of jails."

    ----> That wouldn't help any of the political prisoners who get busted by the feds (FBI/DEA), but it's certainly a step in the right direction!

  10. I agree. A person with an addictive personality will have to live with this condition all his live.

    The trick is to be able to turn all the 'bad' addictions into 'good' addictions.

    Meaning sports and fitness instead of alcohol and drugs, meaning having sex for love, not for pleasure. Becoming addicted to loving and respecting your body, mind and soul.

    With good addictions it's easy to destroy our own prehistoric instinct to self destruct.
