Thread: Thunderhorse's Account Talk

Just when it appeared to be another negative day.... about a 3.3% SP500 run from the intraday low in the last hour on a few bits of possibly positive (?) news. Seem like any positive scraps thrown in amongst all of the negative news, earnings, and uncertainty and up we go. I'm still riding this roller coaster for now.

USA = Constitutional Republic.

Not pure democracy. Yes there are democratic elements but thats it.

Some of the things I hear and read almost daily makes me wonder if Civics is still taught in school.

Thunderhouse,

Being a good worker and goal oriented individual, I was all prepared to perform a multitude of household chores after I got home tonight. I managed to do a few, but while sitting down to dinner I decided to look in on the tsptalk world for a few minutes where I came across your thread with a link to 'thegovernment'. Brilliant is all I can say about that video and I will pass it on. I was ready to put aside the computer afterwards when I noticed the words Prev and Next on either side of the video window and being relaxed from a good meal, and therefore less inclined to immediately continue with my chores, I clicked on Next. I watched and then clicked on Next again and then I found myself 2 hours later still clicking and watching when a phone call interrupted my absorption/immersion into these amazing videos. I would like to blame you for the fact that I'm going into a weekend with many more chores than usual, but I know I can't blame you for providing information (I blame Wimp.com - just kidding). Thanks for sharing as I have been treated to some amazing stories, sights, sounds, information, and entertainment ( I will exclude the Japanese gameshow video as those shows only irritate instead of entertain).

I will leave you with one I'm sure is not new but compliments the video you original posted and reflects most of my feelings in this matter.
http://www.wimp.com/godrules/ Just watch the ending (body language is key) I love Thomas Jefferson - my hero.
Ofcourse the 'newfight' and 'realfears' were by far the better videos.

Thanks again for sharing. Now if I can only stop watching and go to bed. My boss is not likely to understand the "But I found this really cool video site" as an excuse for being late tomorrow.......

Thank you Malyla.

You added to my to do list for the weekend! I'm the same way at times getting immersed in something interesting and losing track of time. Hope the boss didn't give you a demerit. It has been a busy week and I'm exhausted. Time to go outside and spend time with my new puppy.

The chores can wait.

Best wishes,
T'horse

Still hanging out 100C. At least we've had two green days in a row. That is something to smile about!

Space Shuttle launch for tonight is off. Me and the boys were hoping to watch her fly this evening. Beautiful clear sky. Oh well - not to be.

Launch Team Prepares Plan to Evaluate Leak
Wed, 11 Mar 2009 08:08:16 PM UTC-0400

Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach said Wednesday that workers will take their first up-close look Thursday afternoon at the gaseous hydrogen vent line that began leaking during the countdown to Wednesday night’s launch attempt. The leak prompted a postponement of the STS-119 launch to the International Space Station.

The inspection could set a course for repair options that would allow another launch attempt as soon as Sunday.

Leinbach said the leak developed on the piping that runs from the fixed service structure, or launch tower, to a valve at the intertank section of the shuttle’s external tank. The pipe moves hydrogen gas away from the shuttle and to a flare stack near the launch pad that burns it away safely. He said there was never any danger to the shuttle while it was being fueled, but that the leak allowed too much gaseous hydrogen to escape the vent line.

CapeChem and NASA are probably on it!

90G/10F COB today. Looking for a pullback.

Beautiful shuttle launch yesterday evening.

Time for an avatar change. I love eagles. Have a blessed weekend everyone and be careful out there!

Wow! A bit dusty in here....

Congrats to those of you who realized some nice gains over the past month or so.

I sense a bad moon rising. Seven sentinels sell signal. I'm content to spectate a while longer.

Nice run up so far today therefore 100G COB. Hoping for a better buy in point later this month. Hope springs eternal? We'll see.

Still 40G/20C/20S/20I. Watching the Seven Sentinels and the $.

Time to rest and bank a bit.

DCA'ing biweekly contribs has been working nicely.

1 IFT left. Lower prices by EOM?
