[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 355585, member: 3419"] [I]It is so hard to try to look at any of this as positive when you get the people who say, "Well there must be a reason"!!![/I] If anyone tells me that, I will sock them in the jaw. :angry: I discovered today that the firm declared bankruptcy on that particular acct several months ago ... and they still took my money! This is going to look really good in court. And I know, it's going to take mo's and yrs. I think my cousin has already forgotten about it. Not sure. I'm afraid to bring it up. Plus, it's only been 48 hrs since I discovered I had invested in "that" acct. We are mtng with-difficult child's teachers and resource dir on Tue because his interims just came out. We are mtng with-our new personal broker Tues, as well. (Not my cousin's; this one is our family broker.) I am painting furiously to prepare for a show at our local art gallery gift shop. They have ladies' night out once every few wks and I'm the featured artist. It's good stress, though. Sat difficult child was feeling so guilty, he came into the bedroom and just sat by the bed with-me. I mumbled, "Can you make me bacon and tea and a bowl of cereal?" fully expecting him to say something awful and slam the door. I was prepared to roll over, put the pillow over my head, and cry. "Sure," he said. And about 10 min. later, I smelled the bacon. My little sister called me and we talked for about 20 min, during which difficult child surprised me yet again by serving the bacon to me in the hallway at the phone. [COLOR=red]O M G !!!!![/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Surprise isn't the right word. "SHOCK" is correct.[/COLOR] Of course, I couldn't hug him, because he'd freak. I always have to ask permission, and then it only can last .5 sec. But right now he wants his shoulders rubbed so I'll take advantage of that. Sigh. husband and I went to a fundraiser for the same art ctr. It was at a private home and the theme was Wine Tasting Through France. It was a blast. I really needed it. Luckily, I can't drink red wine (migraines) so I had to forgo the last two rounds, which was just enough to prevent me from having a hangover from the white wines. :) I went for a nice, long walk today.
