Had options for 8 days but felt the time was right to sell. Did that yesterday afternoon. Had a good run them. Probably going to kick myself in the pants later today so I may not even look.

Next Saturday will be 4 months already living in the office.

-I've saved over $15,000 in a combo of my 401K and personal account. Pushing for a minimum of $30,000 before I start looking for new digs. The next few paychecks will be large as my sales and commissions due have been great

-Paying off and paying back items that I couldn't prior

-I've watched 61 movies FOR FREE in the last 4 weeks, list below.
WWW.123MOVIES.TO (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING OR SIGN UP)

-I've started losing weight again and back at the gym

-I've spent more time on CP and rarely use Facebook anymore after unfriending 320 people. No need to have a so called "friend" on Facebook because one time 35 years ago we were in a class together. All those people are no longer a friend as they never really were-just acquaintances

-I'm probably going to be taking off work for 3-4 weeks in January and travel to somewhere like the Cayman Islands and stay in an AirBNB because it is very slow in our business for the entire month

-Haven't been with any escorts in a long time, so I really have changed!

Overall this is one of the best decisions and sacrifices I've made.

Not a big fan of the amount of warez activity you've been partaking in, but great job making the best out of a shite situation and saving money... and for watching Midnight Run.

Not making excuses but I'm just going to an open website with thousands of movies. Not hiding behind a TOR browser, a secret identity, downloading and sharing.

The next movie I'm watching tonight before the debate is "Dave" starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver and Frank Langella. Perfect topic.

Ironically, my father dated Frank Langella's sister Rose Marie back in Newark in the 50's

Under Armour drops 15% today under reports it plans to slow growth. I've wanted to purchase UA stock for years but it's always been over-valued. It might be time...........

I worded that poorly.

It doesn't plan to meet expected profit margins due to slowed sales in 2016 and continued use of funds for expansion of the company. Looks bad short term to investors but looks good long term to me.

Meh. Go through and listen to the audio questions. If it sounds like it is a total surprise, I'd be weary of putting a lot of dollars in there. Most of the CEOs are good at spinning it, but I'd always listen to the audio of Cabela's when I was there.

If you were sitting on a chunk of KMI at $12.98 & $13.01 would you keep riding or get a piece of this new action?

I didn't update everyone but on November 1st I moved out of the office at the 4 1/2 month mark and into a HUGE 6,500 sq ft home only 12 years old with brand new hardwood floors, just painted, new rugs, very clean, and in a great area near Dulles Airport. I have a private room and bathroom, full kitchen use, full 65" TV, tons of basement storage, and my landlord is a government employee with top security clearance. Cost is $800 per month with 1/3 utilities.

Staying in the office on a temp was a great choice and put a bunch of money back in my bank account.

Now I'm settled in a beautiful home for at least the next year or two.

That's got to be quite fulfilling. Nicely done.

It was shocking how easy it was. The fact I had a bathroom with shower and locker room directly across from our office was a huge advantage along with the makeup of the corporate tenants.

The only small downside was that anytime I was very tired and wanted to sleep late I couldn't because I had to pack up my air mattress during the week by 6am and in the shower by 6:15. That was the one shitty part.

The lack of pressure to pay rent for 4 1/2 months was great. I almost thought of buying a real cheap small RV and do it for a year but I knew it sounded good on paper but not in practice.

We *really* need to get housing prices under control in this country.
