I had been planning to increase my contribution to my 401k, but now I'm considering reducing it.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Disadvantage to falling stock prices is your 401k looks smaller. It is a deeply uncomfortable feeling. The advantage to falling stock prices is that your monthly contributions buy more shares so that when prices go back up, your funds increase all the more. Depending on how close to retiring a person is, there are differing strategies for dealing. I'm at least twenty years out, so I'm hanging on to the hope that the market doesn't tank so badly that it utterly ceases to exist, and that when it is time for me to retire I will be able to time my cash-out on an upswing. More strategy than that, I do not have.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Emergency question: I want to make raisin bread. The dough is currently rising, but I forgot to put the raisins in! Should I shove them in now, in the middle of the rise, or just do it after?

OK, I kind of split the difference and shoved them in a little without deflating the whole thing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
i'm making an apple pie. Mostly because my daughter wanted to make a pie and we had a LOT of apples, but now I feel kind of like this.

Shrift, I would be interested in fannish organizing, if there's a list or something that you could point me towards, please.
I will send you an invite.
