trading or buying for several months. I have been very busy with my dog who has been sick and the cost of it is getting very expensive. He has a bone tumor that is blocking the left nostril and has had a hard time breathing. We only discovered this over the last few months as we thought it was all allergy related. He will be starting radiation treatment on Monday. 5 days a week for 5 weeks. The cost will be well over $7,000. I know to some people it sounds ridiculous but he is part of the family and there is a great rate of giving him better quality of life then how he is now.

I have given it a hard look at where my collecting chips stand and what I may do in the next few months. I may sell some and yet I may just sit and see how much it's all going to cost and try and make it through without doing anything.

Right now I dont know what I want to do with them. I also dont like to make a decision under these circumstances. So if you dont hear from me this is why. I do read the board to see what is happening and answer e-mails.

I'm really getting to hate the month of December. That is a long story in its self. Hope everyone has a great holiday and Happy and Healthy New Year.
