When I got hurt I thought what will I do and the Chiropractor I had showed me a stock program he used to invest his money. I got started 4 years ago and so glad I did because I didn't loose last year like most did. Now I do my stock stuff in the morning and when I feel up to it take pictures in the afternoon.
Joine July 12 2009 Thanks

East coast north of West Palm. You ain't kidding about the heat and humidity, though I prefer this to the cold.

Welcome to BC ear2. Always good to get a perspective from UPSers that are not package-handlers. There are a few other mechanics (or mochanics) on here.
Look forward to your future posts.
