  1. you are uninformed, the truth is that there are only 11 states which still recognize common law marriage...

  2. I'm sorry you took it as a personal attack.

    It certainly wasn't meant as such ... with that thread that you started (and many of us participated in willingly) one could say you come across as being "jaded", "seasoned", "experienced", etc.

    But hey, if you would rather be thought of as being naive, so be it.
    ***
    I'm guessing the age from the pix that you posted ... I figured you'd be somewhere around that age, but if you aren't feel free to correct me.

    Happy hunting.

    P.S. On to better things, hey, how about that rally! :p

    "Will you marry me?"

  7. Wow, there's some pretty intense law out there ... most countires require at least a year of cohabitation, but if you say it's six months, I'll take your word for it.

    Yikes! :p , just when you're getting comfortable.

    I observed in this first trader what I have seen repeated over and over again -
    most people are looking for a magical, technical formula for success.
    Trading appeals to several different groups of individuals: probably the
    largest group is composed of people who like math, logic, and technical
    things. These traders feel very comfortable around technical things because
    they operate on the basis of rules. The idea of fixing a problem by fixing
    something technical is very familiar and comfortable for them. Although the
    technical fix might require a great deal of work, it is what they understand.
    What they do not understand and do not feel comfortable doing is fixing
    themselves and the problems in their own lives.
    To make matters worse, fixing things in themselves and in their lives might
    require these techno-traders to make major life changes such as giving up
    non-supportive relationships, <b>getting a divorce</b>, moving, or quitting a job.
    Sometimes people are so attached to the way things are that they would
    rather keep things the same and continue to fail than to make those changes.
    Keeping things the way they are can also protect these traders from feelings
    of failure, inadequacy, insecurity, and loss. So, it becomes clear how fixing
    the wrong thing can look very right when so much is at stake! For this
    reason, it is important to ask yourself the next time you want to fix your
    trading problems by fixing your system, how well would your system work
    if you could actually follow it?

  9. LOL

    I'm about 90% sure it's six months. I usually get sick of them way before then.

  10. WTF?

    This sounds like an ex-girlfriend of mine nagging me about trading?

    Is that you Louise?
