I spent more than 20 years acquiring real estate. I sold off all of my holdings (not that long ago) and invested the monies into investment accounts. I recently closed all investment accounts (the market took a dive for a two month period) and dispersed the money into a dozen or so different banks. FYI...I am satisfied that I currently have more money in these banks than you will earn in your entire lifetime. I will slowly began to invest the monies again...and roll back all dividends...just as I was doing before...as my monthly checks more than cover my living expenses.

I have been a Webmaster for many years...thank you very much.

I posted on this board last year urging the adoption of a military family for Xmas. BTW...I gave close to $20,000 last year to military families and the figure this year will be $22,000.

Now for you people that are not trash...and can afford to help out a military family...please adopt one for Xmas. I am satisfied that they will appreciate...even a token jesture...so please show your appreciation for the sacrifice they make.
