Raye returns from Texas

Raye returned from Texas on Saturday night. We went to church and then went to the Wynn for Lunch. Gambled a little and lost, but had a nice day. On Monday, we gambled and we both won a little.

Today, Gold dropped $22 after the New York market closed. I was down big time. I bought some more when it was down $21 and I have now recovered about 70% of my loss. However, I am still way ahead for the year and I expect gold to recover some more before morning. I have 2 sells orders in place for this evening.

My friend, Willie, is visiting me from up north. He will be here until Thursday. Raye and I leave for California on Friday to see my granddaughter, Ellie, perform in a play on Sunday. We also will see 4 more of our grandchildren. It should be a great trip.

Our 34th Wedding Aniversary

Today is our 34th Wedding Aniversary. Raye is in Texas and I am at home. What a great way to celebrate! LOL We will celebrate on Sunday after she gets hom.

Gold jumped up over $22 today. So we are up over $1000 per contract even after the big drop the day before. I also won at the casinos the last 2 days so life is good. I expect to get a sell from my program on the next drop. Gold is down tonight so I may sell it tommorrow.

I also played some poker on line today and won. I think that I will enter an online poker tournament tomorrow if I remember. I also want to play at the Wynn so I don't know if I will make it back home in time to play poker online.

Busy weekend

My son, Ron, arrived on Friday and left today. My sister-in-law, Nancy, had a brain hemorrhage and was flown to Las Vegas for treatment. She is stable today and will start therapy tommorrow. My daughter, Carla, and her family and friends arrived today for breakfast and then left to go to Utah. My mother-in-law, Virginia, stayed with us yesterday and today. Raye and Virginia will leave tommorrow morning for Texas. I have to take them to the airport at 6am. We have been very very busy.

We also gambled this weekend and won big. I am watching gold to rebuy. I hope to buy tommorrow. My program never gave me a sell and I lost money because I sold early. I just have to learn to follow my program.

Had a wonderful Valentine's Day

Raye and I spent the day together. We went shopping. I almost enjoyed it. Then we went to dinner at the Suncoast. It was a nice dinner and we had a great time. After dinner, we just went home. We didn't even gamble.

Gold went up the day before and in the evening, when it went up again, I sold all my contracts. My program didn't signal a sell but I wanted to buy June contracts so I sold what I had. I plan to buy again on the next drop in price.

I won a little at the casino today and Raye spent all day trying to buy tickets to fly to Texas tommorrow. I will be a bachelor again for several days.

Gold is doing well.

I have done well with gold since my last post. I sold half my holdings today. I didn't get a sell signal from my program, but I just expect gold to consolitate before it moves up toward $700.

We have been losing at the casinos the last few days, but are still ahead for the month. However, after today, we are just barely ahead.

I have been researching the song publishing business because I have my Mom's song and an album that I want to get recorded. I also met a lady songwriter whose songs I may also promote.

I sold my autographed Marvin Harrison helmet on Ebay and I have to mail it tomorrow. I forgot to do it today. I need to get busy with listing item for sale in my store at http://www.ethingamajigs.com. I have so many things to sell.

I plan to get organized one of these days. I have started too many projects.

A Tribute to Mom

I have revised the eulogy to my mom page. I now has a very beautiful song that we wrote for my mom 12 years ago. It also has a few pictures. The title of this song is "Mom, this song's for you" © Thomas Jones 1995. Click here.

Raye and I went to dinner with friends at the NOVE restaurant at the Palms casino. We had a great time. The food was excellent and the company was even better.

Gold dropped a little today, but I didn't get a sell from my program.

My birthday was today. What a wonderful day!

First, on Sunday, I went to the Super Bowl Party at the 4 Queens. I had a great time. I won both my bets-one on Indy and one on the unders. I also won a drawing for an autographed Marvin Harrison mini helmet in a case. However, I did lose a little playing in the casino.

Then, on Monday, both Raye and I lost in the casino's. I had trouble with my Ethingamajigs store site and my hearing aid broke.

Finally, today is my birthday. What a wonderful day. All my friends, children, and grandchildren called and wished me a happy birthday. Tiera, my 16 year old granddaughter called from school and had all her friends in her choir class sing happy birthday to me. What a kick.

I went to get my hearing aid fixing and had a very interesting talk with the specialist while he was fixing my hearing aid. He had an unusual type of cancer in the mouth. They wanted to remove his teeth and cut his gums and cheek. He refused and found a treatment that cured his cancer. I told him about my colon cancer and how the doctors were amazed that it didn't spread inside my body and how I didn't need any chemo or radiation. I told him I took Dr. Rath vitamins and he told me that he also took them to fight his cancer.

Then my sister-in-law, Shirley, met Raye and I for dinner at the Wynn. We had a great time. After dinner, we went to a drawing at the Wynn for a Ferrari. I didn't win, but both Shirley and I won $1000, so it was ok. We also won gambling at the casino to put the end to a great day.

My Mom passed away.

On Sunday, January 28, 2007, my mother, Margaret Ann Jones, passed away. I flew to Ohio on Sunday. My mom was 94 years old and was a wonderful lady. She had been in pain for many years and didn't have any memory left. It was the best thing for her, but it was very hard on the family. All my relatives were there for the funeral. I delivered her eulogy and you can read it at http://www.ethingamajigs.com/MargaretJones.html.

After we arrived home, Raye and I started winning at the casinos and are up several thousand dollars this month. Raye left for a retreat and will be back on Monday. I am going to the Super Bowl Party at the 4 Queens today.

I also bought more gold on Thursday and it went down drastically on Friday. I then received a sell signal on Friday from my program. I don't want to sell so I will wait until later today to see what is happening to gold prices.
