RE: How old were you when you got your first pay check for working a full-time job?

My bad, you are right I forgot about Summer jobs. I had a part time job at a grocery store at 14, stocking shelves etc I got 50 cents a day plus a sandwich and a soda. I also got tips for delivering groceries. After a couple of months I got tired of working so I simply stopped going to the store.

RE: Mr.Trump Ends Covert CIA Program That Funded Syrian Rebels

Further proof that Trump is a traitor to America. Trump aligns more with Russia than with the USA. The Syrian rebels are fighting to overthrow Assad. They are fighting for their homeland against a tyrannical dictator who is as big a bully as his father, Hafez al Assad. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. The Syrian rebels are not ISIS or terrorists they are fighting to free their country from a brutal dictator. Assad is allied with Russia so Trumps actions are aiding a foreign, unfriendly country. BTW, Assad is a member of the Ba'ath party and was close friends with Saddam Hussein, another Ba'ath party member.

Any Wall St players in here?

It looks like nobody on this site has any investments or interest in growing their net worth. Too bad, I was hoping to find someone to compare notes with.

RE: What's your favorite TV series? Select one..

I used to love "Are you being served", haven't seen it in years though.sigh

I disagree. People can discuss ideas about investments without divulging personal info. For instance my son recently said he was thinking of taking a position in a Co called Ollies because where he lives they are opening new stores all over the place. I looked into it and it was selling for around $74. a share. More recently the PPS was over $80 and the curve was going up at a steady pace. I told him he should have gotten into it back in April when it was trading at around $40.

Anybody have a large nest egg in a savings acct? What is the annual yield or interest rate you're getting?

Land is a long term investment, very long term. Land doesn't pay a monthly dividend either.
The only way to earn income from land is to farm it, lease it or sell it.

What are you into? Stocks, Bonds, ETF's. Are you a buy and hold type or a day trader or something in between? What were some of your best/worst moves?

Yahoo used to have a great platform for discussing investing when they had stock message boards but like just about everything else connected to yahoo they screwed it up and they all went away.

I don't invest in stocks much anymore, I'm more into what are called CEF's or Closed End Funds. Back in 2005 I took a position in a company called Worldgate WGAT, which made a stand alone video phone. Everybody I told about it thought it was a fantastic idea so I jumped in. It was probably the biggest mistake I ever made. I lost a bundle. The problem with a video phone is that everybody would like to see who they're talking to, but they don't want to BE seen. Add to that you can only connect with other video phones on the same network. If that's not enough the phones cost about $600 for a pair. A webcam will do just about the same thing as a videophone.

So how about it, got any tips, ideas, strategies to share?

I learned this one from an Irish co-worker when I was just starting out as a foreign car mechanic with the Rootes Group.

There was an old lady from Wider
Who peed in the eye of a spider
The spider got mad
and pulled out his lad
and swore by the devil he'd ride er

Like a house of cards the Trump administration is falling down
Reminds me of an old nursery rhyme;

Humpty Trumpty sat on his wall
Humpty Trumpty had a great fall
All the kings lawyers and all the kings woMEN
couldn't keep Trumpty from going to prison

Hey Raphael, you're from DC, what do you think an Abrams tank would do to the pavement on Pennsylvania Ave? What would a military parade do to the already horrendous traffic inside the beltway?dunno

I wasn't talking to you.

RE: This thread is for Trump lovers only

Aren't you supposed to be some kind of farmer? How can you spend so much time on a free dating site talking about politics of a country halfway around the globe? When I had a farm (beef cow/calf operation) there wasn't enough daylight hours to get all my chores done yet here you are spouting around the clock about a political system you're not affiliated with in any way shape or form. Something doesn't make sense here.confused

RE: This thread is for Trump lovers only

Let's elevate this thread to a mature discussion of Trumps accomplishments.

LJ, Do you think it was a good idea to institute a "Zero tolerance-immigration-policy"



What about the 1000's of children who've been taken away from their parents and placed in cages and the parents deported? Now they can't even find the parents and don't have the information needed to re-unite the children with their parents.

RE: What TV show would you like to see return?

"Touched by an Angel" can only come back as reruns.

Many of the shows mentioned are on local TV stations but you need an antenna to get them instead of satellite or cable. Shows like Night Court, All in the Family, Good Times, Hogans Heroes, Seinfeld, Outer Limits, etc.

Russian Bots Linked To Viral Twitter Attacks On 'Hateful' Dems

Sound familiar?


Have you noticed how certain Trump worshipers on here constantly refer to democrats, or Libs as they love to call them, as being hateful or hating Trump? Wonder where they get that?
I've also noticed how a lot of Right Wing members have a penchant for calling Democrats "Commies". It's curious that their hairpiece God who is having a man crush on the former KGB officer Vlad Putin is planning to have a 1 on 1 meeting with the worlds #1 communist. I wonder if they'll be sharing a motel room? confused

He sure sounded like he's sweet on the man during the campaign.

RE: No proof of collusion

The title of your thread hasn't been proven yet.

It bears emphasizing that this Court’s ruling is not based on a finding that there was no collusion between defendants and Russia during the 2016 presidential election," Huvelle wrote. "This is the wrong forum for plaintiffs’ lawsuit. The Court takes no position on the merits of plaintiffs’ claims.
In other words the case was dismissed without prejudice meaning it should have been brought in a different Court which I have no doubt it will.
