Elizabeth Coplan's Profile

Elizabeth Coplan (elizabethcoplan): 54, Female
United States

Name or Pseudonym:: Elizabeth Coplan

About Me:: I'm a semi-retired marketing professional, a wife and the mother of two children. To help make it through the day, I occasionally stop to write about my mothering experiences. As an over 50 mom, I find life with my children similar to a roller coaster ride. My days are colored by tremendous highs, unbelievable lows, and frequent urges to throw up. Since joining the support group profiled in A Wild Ride, I appreciate the highs, understand the lows, and laugh out loud whenever possible.

Holiday Q&A

Q: Every year my family falls short of giving me a thoughtful present. It hurts my feelings about how little time they spend on my gift while I devote time, energy and money on theirs. I'm not asking for anything expensive. How can I get my family to honor me?…

At 12:14pm on November 26th, 2007, Aldon Hynes said…: Thanks for stopping by. The thing that is interesting about the stock market stuff I've been writing about is that it takes place in Second Life. Stocks often trade and less than a Linden Dollar, and there are around 250 Linden Dollars to a U.S. Dollar, so you can experiment with trading without really risking anything substantial. It is a great way to learn a little bit about trading before trying to do it in Real Life.

(It also plays a role in the novel I wrote for NaNoWriMo)
