It was glorious by its lonesome, but I suspect if the BP moderators allowed it, it would no longer be by it's lonesome, and would be accompanied by many other single image reactions without commentary, which might not be the best for the BP site.     

There was also a case in New Jersey I read (no joke) of lesbians wanting to rent a retired navy hospital boat at a New Jersey pier for alcohol rehab for lesbians. 

It is slow at first, but moderation isn't ALWAYS a bad thing here.

One of my Dorm Mates would spend over 25% of his base pay on his club bill and Alcohol.    

We have about $40k in the bank and in moderately aggressive mutual funds not in retirement accounts.

Like with anything else, moderation is key.

Stay away from Alcohol, smoking and drugs and focus on improving yourself personally and  financially.God Bless you and i pray that you will make the best decisions for your future.

I also have always set up those investments so that I am both rewarded (at least moderately) for holding the investments  and considerably protected in the event the market undergoes turbulence.
