Me Fail English? That's Unpossible!
Today was the laziest day ever. I just planted on the couch and watched football with RoopDogg.
Only one good story to pass along. RoopDogg, TheCrazyCanuck, and I went to dinner at a nearby Thai restaurant. All employees at my company get a 10% discount at this place. When the waiter came to deliver the check, I mentioned that I was an employee at -----. He gave me a confused look, so I followed up an asked if the 10% discount was still offered. I then proceeded to show the waiter my work ID. The waiter looked at the ID, indiciated that he knew what I was talking about, took the check, and walked away. About thirty seconds later, he came back with a beer for me. Very confused, I indicated that I did not order a beer. I was trying to get the discount on our meal. I then noticed that the waiter brought a beer that sounded very similar to the company that I work for. Clearly the waiter thought that I was ordering a beer when I mentioned the company I worked for. What blows me away is that if he thought I was ordering a beer, how could he possibly have accepted my work ID as proof of age? There is no date of birth on my work ID!! The three of us had a pretty good laugh at the waiter's poor English skills.
I may wrap up the investment strategy posts tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I just watched that episode of the Simpsons on the season 6 DVDs with D money (D$). It's a great season, by the way, you should definitely invest.
No stories about your night of drunken revelry at your house??? I'm totally disappointed!
