The Pain! The Pain! (And I'm not talking about Geoffrey)

I had my tooth extracted today, and at the moment, I'm wondering which pain was less intense, the toothache itself, or the gaping hole I've got to deal with till I can get the bridge. Fortunately, the dentist gave me an extra prescription for the "vikes", but I'll see if the pain goes away with what I have left over from my last prescription before I even think about getting another. I don't want to become a "Pill Head" after all.

I did very well on my "CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge" today. Portfolio #5 had a huge jump and is now in the top 4.7%, at rank # 29,752, out of all the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, playing. Portfolio #4, which did so well last week, is now my 2nd most successful portfolio, in the top 10.3%, at rank # 65,057.

My real-life investments did "o.k." today, but only just. Kind of flat actually, and not much to talk about on that front. Only 4 days by the way and I can sell my stock of IPI (and if you don't know what stock that is the trading symbol for, you haven't been reading my posts), and at the moment, I have a paper profit of $1,734.00. Just four more day! But of course, anything can happen in those four days, so I'll be waiting on pins & needles, for the time to pass and the ability to sell without a penalty.

I'll keep you all informed.

By the way, for those of you who don't know who Geoffrey Paine is, he is a porn star I met on the Atlantis Events Cruise I took back in October, 2007, and I must say, he has a VERY impressive body of work. I've included a link to his blog, and I highly recommend you check it and him out.
