Don't know the terminology? When learning how to invest it's important to learn terminology...like BLOCKCHAIN. </span>I'm not a fan of Crytocurrency, it's too volatile...but I am a fan of BLOCKCHAIN technology which cryptocurrency uses. The reason I like it..because, providing it's used in a productive and constructive manner, it can be used for anything and everything... "Blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value." <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">Don & Alex Tapscott, authors Blockchain Revolution</span></div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"></span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(2016)</span></span></div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm looking at it in terms of the Cannabis industry..."the necessary data needed to track the health of a</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">cannabis supply, from seed to weed, one can be sure that governments will require a robust inspection system for growers and retailers alike." and I want to make sure the companies I invest in are authentic and in their integrity. This application will make sure of that. Examples of other applications BLOCKCHAIN can be used for in various industries: Restaurants, Hospitals and Healthcare, Productivity and Production in the workplace, Music biz, film biz, photographers, galleries...it's endless. HealthSpace Data Systems (OTC: HDSLF) is at the forefront of Blockchain technology as a database...but it's a penny stock which means it's highly volatile... so for me...I'm taking a chance. I like to by 100 -1000 shares of a stock and leave it. In this case, because it's .07 a share right now... 1000 shares is $70. Can I afford to lose it? Sure. How many of you buy lottery tickets or go to a movie or go out to dinner. It's a one time thing...or a throw away. I'd rather put that money into stocks and see what happens. Now..remember...this is just an example of something I did...it doesn't mean YOU do it. Find what's right for you.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; letter-spacing: -0.11999999731779099px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
My general rule of thumb. Never be desperate when you invest. Be well read...investigate...read everything you can before you put money into a stock or a fund. If you can't afford to lose it...don't put money into it. Stocks are like a rollercoaster...they go up and down; So many people expect it to go up...but they never prepare themselves for the fall. Don't pull your money out when the market goes down...be patient and wait it out; it's when everyone pulls their money out, it crashes...To manifest money, use your head not your heart. Emotions have no place in investing. My experience is that Brokers are educated guessers...and I can educate myself when it comes to my money. I don't want to put it in someone else's hands.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Remember...these are my thoughts... You have to formulate your own.. I don't listen to anyone when I invest...just to myself... <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/ownyourpower?source=feed_text" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;"><span class="_5afx" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit;"><span aria-label="hashtag" class="_58cl _5afz" style="font-family: inherit; unicode-bidi: isolate;">#</span><span class="_58cm" style="font-family: inherit;">ownyourpower</span></span></a></div>

The people that say they want to bring down the current world currency are not dedicated to a one world spiritual currency...they are as equally dedicated to greed and power as those who run our world currency now...so don't fool yourself... There is illicit activity in all...and until I see that change...I'm not a fan...</span></div>

Yes...what he did was heinous... but don't you dare walk into a meeting alone and expect innocence or expect to be treated with respect and kindness...and men too...I know plenty of male friends who went through this...women executives in the industry are not innocent... Every single one of us has a story... so start putting your truth out there...and band together to stops sex abuse and sexual harassment in the entertainment industry... It's the people who think if they don't do what the executive wants they won't make it because that's what they're told. Turn the power around...how small and desperate are they to sink so low...and use sex as a power tool...</span></div>

Here's an updated financial post I made 5 years ago which is timeless and prevalent information: </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I have always looked at investing in the stock market as a legal form of gambling....if you're going to put money into it, don't put it in unless you have it (don't borrow from someone) and be prepared to lose it, so it's not going to make you or break you. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Remember the stock market is a roller coaster; It's great when the stocks you buy go up....but they also go down; it's all cyclical<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">. You don't just pull out your money because of panic and fear... if everyone does that...the market crashes...where as if you ride it out with stable companies..in the years to come...you might see incredible growth. Use your head and do your homework; Just because people hype a stock, doesn't mean that you buy it..that's why they're hyping it..they convince you to buy and then they sell...you've lost and they've made a bloody fortune. </span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">
<br />
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I'm not into day trading. I want to invest in a company or companies I believe in and keep my money there to grow.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Read...Read...Read....the internet makes it easy now inform yourself, financially. I read everything I could....every publication out there... this was after I asked a relative, whose livelihood is in the NY Financial District, to help me and he refused...I educated myself. Then, and only then should you think of investing. That's why Business Week interviewed me...I was someone who self-educated and my name and success became known.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I, personally, will never use a "financial advisor"...because in the end, if you're up on everything...they don't know anymore than you do...and now you've entrusted someone else with your money. Take responsibility. Good luck!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
(This is my opinion...you have to formulate your own...I take no responsibility for the financial choices you make)</div>

Taming of the Stew was part vegetarian and part British Restaurant and even had Bubble and Squeak (friend leftovers) on the menu located on the North West Corner of Larrabee and Santa Monica Blvd where Revolver is now. <br />Larrabee Sound Studio was across the street on the North East corner and every major artist in town recorded there...It began as a “mom and pop” business when, back in 1969, music producer Jackie Mills and his wife, Dolores, purchased a two-room, 16-track facility from songwriter Gerry Goffin which actually was an old bank building.<br /><br />West Hollywood, CA (Jan 2, 2014)<br />©2014 Rebecca Dru Photography All Rights Reserved <a href="http://www.rebeccadru.com" rel="nofollow">www.rebeccadru.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/rebeccadruphotography" rel="nofollow">www.facebook.com/rebeccadruphotography</a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/rebeccadru" rel="nofollow">www.twitter.com/rebeccadru</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/rebeccadru">www.flickr.com/rebeccadru</a> <a href="http://www.instagram.com/rebeccadrufoto" rel="nofollow">www.instagram.com/rebeccadrufoto</a></p>Rebecca Druhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398701937753426371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219210248827536793.post-71473420521242787382013-10-23T01:29:00.001-07:002013-10-23T01:29:25.793-07:00Bec canning a jar of apple jam<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccadru/10436214885/" title="Bec canning a jar of apple jam"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7459/10436214885_3e736dc660.jpg" alt="Bec canning a jar of apple jam by rebeccadru" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccadru/10436214885/">Bec canning a jar of apple jam</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccadru/">rebeccadru</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p><i>Via Flickr:</i><br />Took a class with Jami Cakes in canning at Urban Homestead in Pasadena, CA....enjoyed it immensely..<br />©2013 Jami Cakes®/ Rebecca Dru Photography All Rights Reserved <a href="http://www.rebeccadru.com" rel="nofollow">www.rebeccadru.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/rebeccadruphotography" rel="nofollow">www.facebook.com/rebeccadruphotography</a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/rebeccadru" rel="nofollow">www.twitter.com/rebeccadru</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/rebeccadru">www.flickr.com/rebeccadru</a><br /><a href="http://www.jamiCakes.com" rel="nofollow">www.jamiCakes.com</a></p>Rebecca Druhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398701937753426371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219210248827536793.post-80784073321945970142013-10-13T22:44:00.001-07:002013-10-13T22:44:27.140-07:00A homeless man at the sitting outside the Court building on Grand Ave<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccadru/10262939274/" title="A homeless man at the sitting outside the Court building on Grand Ave"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7342/10262939274_e2baa3acd8.jpg" alt="A homeless man at the sitting outside the Court building on Grand Ave by rebeccadru" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccadru/10262939274/">A homeless man at the sitting outside the Court building on Grand Ave</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccadru/">rebeccadru</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p><i>Via Flickr:</i><br />Los Angeles, CA (July 29, 2012)<br />©2012 Rebecca Dru Photography All Rights Reserved <a href="http://www.rebeccadru.com" rel="nofollow">www.rebeccadru.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/rebeccadruphotography" rel="nofollow">www.facebook.com/rebeccadruphotography</a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/rebeccadru" rel="nofollow">www.twitter.com/rebeccadru</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/rebeccadru">www.flickr.com/rebeccadru</a></p>Rebecca Druhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398701937753426371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219210248827536793.post-64143483771621912952013-09-17T17:08:00.001-07:002013-09-17T17:10:23.633-07:00Zoomin' out to Fallbrook today to drop off my Suzuki Samurai for Fixin'....<br />

Today, we went to Fallbrook, CA (1869-) to meet up with my car, which had been towed 110 miles to the only place around that can fix my 1987 Suzuki Samurai JX. They specialize in that car and the Tracker and all I want is to be able to drive the car again.</span></span></div>

The toughest thing about me being the the driver is that I can't take pictures…multitasking is off limits. I see images and moments I want to capture on my camera and in order to capture them, I must rely on the person sitting next to me and hope they will shoot something as I see it. The other alternative, if possible, is to pull off to the side of the road and grab the image…hop back in the car and continue on. It's kind of hard to do on the freeway but much easier to do once in town.</span></div>

Once that was established, we had the freedom to drive off and explore, though, we were tired and not particularly in the mood to do much after our plans to get the car in earlier had been delayed by 4 hours by AAA's tow service. We knew we'd be returning to pick up the car so we just did a quick once over with a few stop; noting the focus on oak trees, nurseries, farm stands, avocados and public art.

What I noticed even more so was the display of public art. We began on Aviation..as soon as I turned on Mission Road, whimsical sculptures caught my eye and I had to pull off to look..and the photo snapping began.

Driving on the freeway at 65 mph in that toy with the wind whippin' at me…the sun beating down on me…and Lovey following behind all the way home…I can't wait!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; margin: 0px;">Who's brilliant idea was it to create these shirts....after the HUGE drug problem in our Country as well as worldwide....why would anyone in your company think this was a good idea to create drug shirts and sell them. Even if you were doing it with humor, it's just not funny and it sends a terrible message....and then to put them in the window only adds insult to injury. I'm so disappointed in your company...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Personally, I think you should burn this project...take the window down and be more responsible in what you present.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I just came from Oaxaca...and I love their salsa verde. I didn’t want to research any recipes...I just wanted to make it with flavors I thought worked...so I picked out 6 good sized green and 5 red jalapeños, 2 full bunches of really fragrant Cilantro (sometimes it has no smell or it smells old)...came home...rinsed it off...put the whole bunches right in the vitamix (minus the rubber bands), cut off the stems of the jalapenos..tossed those in...added a half cup of sliced deli pickled Jalapeños with the juice and pinch of salt...a swirl of Mandranova extra virgin olive oil....and flipped the switch to emulsify the mixture.... I wanted the textures smooth and creamy...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The whole thing took less than 3 minutes to make from start to finish and the flavor is incredible. Poured it all in a quart sized jar and refrigerated it....I took the left over in the vitamix...added a little water and poured it into my simmering short ribs to add just a little kick.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The short ribs.... Took a package from Costco with 6 pieces at about 8” strips.... seasoned them with a little kosher salt...browned them on both sides..sliced up a sweet onion and tossed that in....mixed it around to soak up some of the browned bits from the meat. Ricky from Palm Restaurant had been so kind to give me a bottle of SKYNNY white wine a few weeks back....and since I didn’t have any chicken stock....I decided I would use the remainder of the bottle (about 3/4 full)....poured it in.....added a few cups of water to cover the ribs...a heaping Tablespoon of brown sugar....the leftover salsa verde in the vitamix jar cleaned out with a little water....some red pepper flakes.... turned up the heat to boil.....then turned it down to simmer for hours....leaving the cover on but open about 2”....</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">4 hours later....tossed two corn tortillas over an open flame to heat up...added a little short ribs on each....a line of salsa verde across...and YUMMILICIOUS it was!!!...along with a little fresh sliced pineapple...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: justify;">
So quick and easy!!</div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Gadget; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Whenever I go to a new doctor, I always start with this...."Hello Doctor,</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">It's nice to meet you.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I need to say a few things first. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Firstly, I'm not a big fan of doctors...I've had some horrible experiences, so this is what I</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">need from you.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I need a doctor who will treat me with respect; a doctor with a heart, who's kind, caring and compassionate.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I need a doctor who'll speak to me in layman's terms and explain everthing to me so I understand exactly what's going on. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I need a doctor who is a human being and doesn't think he's god.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">If you can give me that and your time, then let's continue.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">If not, I'll turn around and walk out the door." Generally, it catches them so off guard that they soften right up and are totally different than had I not said this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I hear this over and over from clients..."oh I didn't back up my computer....all my photos were in a box...I lost my paperwork...I'm crushed...I don't have any photos of memories from my past...they were destroyed". I see it on the news during devastating times....thousands and thousands of people who lose precious photos and are broken hearted; documents that can't be duplicated, or if they can, take weeks and months of precious time and lots of red tape to replace. It <span style="font-size: small;">doesn't have to be this way..<span style="font-size: small;">...</span></span>If you don't want to lose your important documents and sentimental photos and videos...please take the time to scan and digitally archive your precious memories. It's such a simple thing to do...it just takes a little time every day to get it done. Make sure you triple save it...whether on portable external hard drives kept in a waterproof case, on DVDs also kept in water proof cases and/or on an internet cloud. Make sure you put them in 3 different places with easy access so in times of emergency, you can gra<span style="font-size: small;">b it.</span> This way, you will ALWAYS have a copy on hand no matter what happens. Please...make the time...or hire someone to get it done for you...you'll be glad you did!</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">On Jan 25th, I had knee surgery to clean up a multitude of tears in the cartilage in my right knee. While not a huge fan of surgery, it was time to deal with the pain and the inability to function in terms of my lessening mobility. Dr. Louis Kwong juxtaposed it to a ripped fingernail; if you don't even it out and file it down, the tearing continues until there's nothing left but chronic pain.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I began Physical Therapy (PT) a week later at Joel Scherr, RPT, Inc (in the West Cedar Sinai Medical Tower) with Ernie de la Torre. I was weak and severely out of shape....beyond what I thought...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I'm thrilled to be able to use my precor elliptical 546 again adding 5 min. increments every few days...today I start at 35 minutes. I already have my big ball for my mini-squats (That doesn't sound right!).. my resistance bands and free weights; I'll use the bottom landing instead of buying a STEP for now.... I just got my multi-position slant stretch board for my calves, legs and back.... I have a REBOUNDER mini-trampoline for jogging and my Pro Fitter Physio Kit for continuing to strengthen my legs and gluts, both due in any day...and now I just have to look into bungee cords for some other forms of strength training. The only thing missing is Ernie....my Physical Therapist. Upon viewing Ernie's pix on FB, my husband stated," Oh, no wonder you like going to PT, he looks like a Playboy!!" Yes, Honey, he does...but a very married one. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">It takes more effort to be miserable than to be happy and yet so many people choose misery.... Choose Happy...small steps...start finding moments in your day that lift you... focus on them....laugh...heartily...let go of those who drag you down....get rid of the chaos... Find creative outlets; write...draw...paint...snap pix...sing...and laugh, laugh some more... I choose happy!!</span><div style="text-align: center;">

A dear friend of mine who teaches languages...in fact, was my French teacher in 7th grade (A LONG time ago...), suggested to us, when wanting to learn Italian, to label, in Italian, every single item in our home with stickies. This way, every time we looked at something, we'd see and say the Italian word and start to use it. Then...learn some verbs, even if you get the tense wrong, start to use it to put sentences together with the items around your home. Eventually, you'll start thinking in that language. Lastly, find people in your neighborhood who speak the language and try using it with them....or go visit that country where they speak the language, if you have the opportunity...and use it. You'll start to get the hang of it. Every time my daughter visits a country, she takes a course in the language there so she can keep building up her skills and apply it while there. Little by little you'll become proficient!!Rebecca Druhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398701937753426371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219210248827536793.post-81954581061248923052012-05-21T12:13:00.000-07:002012-05-21T14:40:34.494-07:00My Rant of The Day: INVESTING<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">When FB had their IPO...I had lots of people asking me if I was going to invest....and I thought long and hard about it but decided they were way overpriced...I mean WAY overpriced. Had they opened at $8/share, I would've dove in for the long term.... but they were 5x's that amount..no thanks. With millions of people on FB....they have definite potential... but for now, it's all air right now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">So here's the way I have always looked at investing; </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Investing in the stock market is a legal form of gambling....if you're going to put money into it, don't put it in unless you have it (don't borrow from someone) and be prepared to lose it, so it's not going to make you or break you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Remember the stock market is a roller coaster; It's great when the stocks you buy go up....but they also go down; it's all cyclical. Use your head and do your homework; Just because people hype a stock, doesn't mean that you buy it..that's why they're hyping it..they convince you to buy and then they sell...you've lost and they've made a bloody fortune. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Read...Read...Read....the internet makes it easy now inform yourself, financially. I read everything I could....every publication out there... this was after I asked a relative, who's livelihood is in the NY Financial District, to help me and he refused...I educated myself. Then, and only then should you think of investing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I, personally, will never use a "financial advisor"...because in the end, if you're up on everything...they don't know anymore than you do...and now you've entrusted someone else with your money. Good luck!</span></div>
