1. I foresee that in every episode of The Mentalist people will foolishly doubt Simon Baker's word only for it to turn out that he spoke TRUTH. I can live with this.

2. I am dealing with the banking crisis by planning on never opening those reports on my meagre retirement savings. And, no, I will not chucking more money into those accounts to make up what has been wiped out as several people on the TV suggested I should: YOU ONLY FOOL ME ONCE, YOU BASTARDS, IT'S ALL GOING IN MY MATTRESS FROM NOW ON.

3. Also, I am also astonished by the fact that most of the people on my telly offering me sage advice on how to deal with all of this are the very people who appear to have been employed by the very industry which managed to plunge us all into this mess with gay abandon. You know what? If I have to listen to you give me advice which comes too late, I want to see a CV: if it says 'bought crappy investments and didn't care' on it, I reserve the right to decide to invest in my mattress (see above).

we lost 10 percent of our 401k in the space of a day. We probably lost a whole lot more yesterday.
I am attempting to remain calm by going with the theory that my husband and I are young and can ride this shit out. I am just going with my family broker's long held advice about staying cool and calm.
Because otherwise? I would weep into my tea.

My sisters and I have just come to the conclusion that we'll never, ever be able to retire.

I figure the only way I could retire is by winning the lottery. Or taking up crime. The first is less risky in terms of jail time, but the second seems like a more realistic option.

There is always part-time prostitution.

I don't know. Pimping out my sisters just seems so harsh.

Well, you could always be a gentleman and sell your virtue first...

But remember: strike a good bargain. I learned from Tom Jones that a fortune can be made selling your virtue but only if you go about it with good business sense.
