What wouldn't be monitored? I don't understand that exchange above about blogging in the profile section. People do write blogs in their comment sections anyways!
So I didn't actually end up getting that much done. I'm really liking my new 22" monitor. Now I don't have to squint as much. Unfortunately it isn't going to delay the inevitable... bi-focals. The damn problem is DS and PSP gaming. I'm having to hold them so far away I can't read some of the text. Then to read the text I have to put the screen right up next to my face and look over my glasses. Getting old sucks.
My dad called me up and he's a little worried. Now none of the houses in his development are selling and a couple (out of maybe 100) have been abandoned. This is in Florida, a kinda resort town named Destin, in a semi-suburban housing development that, last year, the houses that were selling for $500k now can't be sold for $250k. I'm not crying because a couple hundred people who could afford $500k houses lost half of that on paper. But guess what, those mortgages were rolled up into securities called mortgage backed bonds, and if people start abandoning those properties because they can't make the payments then those securities are worth less and become harder to value, and there's literally trillions of dollars that rest on the worth (or are affected) by these mortgage back securities. So that's what me and dad talked about.
Oh, and my Dad's cat died. That was sad. It had Kitty Renal Failure and he was giving it the fluid shots and meds every day and that lasted for five months. I know it's hard for people to let go but the Renal Failure is incurable. I was sad for the cat when I saw it last month because it was just miserable. He says he's too old to get another pet but I bet he'll have another cat within a few months.
