Beside my house is a parking lot, usually reserved for people that have vegetable gardens behind my house. Usually, there are very few cars parked there, however, for the last few weeks there has been a car parked there, has never moved, and the lisence plate is from a region 300 miles from here.
So, a little concerned about this car I called up the Gendarmes (police) , sort of explained the situation. At first the guy says he's in Nantes, I have to call St Philbert in the morning, but then realizing I am not actually complaining that the car is there he wanted further info.
So I gave him the lisence number and he told me that the car is registered to someone a block away, but he can't give me the name. Do I want to make a complaint. Told him no, the car can stay there until the sun doesn't come up anymore, was just worried about the situation.
That must be the one with the dicputed ownership that ran Friday. After I flip a stock I throw it on "SOLD IT " ticker. I like to check because most o down because they were scam POS to start with but sometimes I see one that got away LOL had a few of those in January - missed 20-100 baggers but all POS stickies went up
Some guy says I need to say this regarding ADHC;
Tell everyone how Remo took AMEL into PTTN and drove it into bankruptsy
destroying the shareholders.When he took over PTTN it was making 6 mil a year. Now he is crybabying about being cheated.
What about the millions he walked with.
The only thing Remo is good at as I have stated before is to reserve a seat in bankruptsy court, run with the cash and leave the shareholders high and dry.
my use of such thing as shaving cream has been greatly diminished over the past 13 months. Pants LOL - 4 times. same pair. stretchy jeans of course. I don't do any other shopping. Daughter works at grocery store in addition to masters degree studies and lives at home ( hopefully not for long)
I venture out to hardware store, Tim Hortons, and Liquor/weed store. Ideally all located in same shopping mall. My last home they could all be nailed by parking in one spot dead center or all three. and 6 months of the year Golf course
LOL just thinking that pre pandemic I did not really do much more - Hockey rink I guess.
Shaving cream - pretty sure there is still a full backup one in "costco closet"
FINALLY!!!
I finished a tube of shaving cream that my wife gave me for Christmas in 2019. Probably cost her 30 euros. I hated it, but used it to make her happy.
If there are any female lurkers out there, DON'T screw around with your man's shaving cream.
It's just like sending me off to the store to buy tampons, what the hell do I know about heavy flow, light flow, medium flow... What's the difference between the daytime ones and the nighttime ones?
Invariably, when I'm sent off on such a task, I stand dumbfounded in front of the multitude of possibilities and wait for the first pretty girl to show up and ask her what the hell I should buy....
She works for a company called 'The Voyage to Nantes', a tour company?
Was watching an episode of black mirror with my son, weird stuff.
Somewhere in the middle of the episode, they talked about the breakfast club, my son had never heard of it, I said molly ringwald was in it, never heard of her. Maybe Kevin Bacon, but I'm not sure about that. Never heard about him either. What? You've never seen the invisible man. Not ringing any bells.
We get to the end of the episode and in the credits it is written that Jodie Foster directed it. I comment on this, didn't know she directed anything. Doesn't know who she is.
Then he says "I remember faces not names"
Some neurons fired in my head and sent me to something I said in the mid 1990's on Silicon Investor. Couldn't stop laughing. He figured his old man had finally lost it.
SO, on some shit stock some woman said she'd been royally screwed by the CEO.
So I typed up a joke PR along the lines of "reporting from buckingham palace, allegations that Xperson had been royally screwed cannot be confirmed. However it relates to WXYZ co who's CEO said in his defance that he has screwed so many that he can't remember names or faces."
I suppose I could mine the bowels of SI for an hour or so to pinpoint that exact moment, but life is too short...

Looks pretty cool, do you get company discounts?
I don't need any blood clots, one while I was sleeping caused my stroke
back in '17. I think I'll wait for the JnJ one, one shot and extensive
trialing in Europe and Africa with a 90% success rate compared to the
placebo group. Might be more effective against a variant as well.
Of course, I'm nearly guaranteed to be among the 10%.
red fox, apparently shipped today, should hit my house around 10 april.
Well, here's the update, since the company is somewhat private and somewhat public, they get donations from sponsors. It seems the police are looking for some scheningans (sp) by the sponsors.
Anyway, I recounted the story to a colegue of mine this morning, and he immediately found an article about it.
15 police raided the offices of my wife. Well no, there were 4 or 5.
He likes to look at whatever site it is, all fake news and they have to make it sensational.........
Was vaccinated with astra-zeneca 2 weeks ago, he's pretty sure I'll drop dead at any moment..
Anyway, this is where she works.

HYDE, Anthony. The Red Fox. Uncorrected and Unpublished Proof. Markham, Ontario: Viking, (1985). Pp 337. 8vo, red cardcovers. Vg. 35.00
edit I tried this thing called google
An uncorrected proof is a printed copy of a book that needs to be reviewed for errors and corrections. They are released prior to official publication, and generally are very plainly bound, and distributed only for final editing or promotion. This kind of edition is similar to an advance review copy, though technically those copies are supposed to be finished. Often the terms "proof copy" and "review copy" are used interchangeably. Both of these kinds of editions sometimes contain a publisher's slip, with additional information about marketing or the book itself.
This type of book is often marked "not to be sold," but collectible copies of these works include rare pre-printing copies of books by well known authors.
I can get it for about 4 euros delivered, problem is, it is not clear if the book is in english or not.

Cold War Novel I recommend and when I was younger I read hundreds - whatever my father read I would read them next.
"The Red Fox" by Anthony Hyde - he was not a prolific writer and am sure this was not a big seller.
If it had been my ex's office,
it would have been because she forgot to arm the alarm or left a window open or sumpthin'.
I feel like I'm in the middle of one of my spy novels.
Last week, there was a breakin at my wife's office. No alarms went off, it was only the next day that people noticed a computer missing.
Why wasn't the alarm armed, how'd they even get in? all unanswered questions.
Today the police judiciere (sorry, dunno how to translate that) show up and demand of my wife to immediately call her director and get his ass down here. Then they want all the accountants.
When she left at 5pm they were still scouring the place and asking questions. Fortunately she just appears to be the receptionist, so they let her go. LMAO, she prolly knows more about everything than the people they are asking....
More to come tomorrow...
Happens to the best of us. Me, never a saturday, but certain american holidays. All fired up, ready to go and... all my stocks seems to be halted....
So I log into my TOS trading platform @ 6:30 a:m
and it's static, no quotes, no mms filling the box, nada. I call TDA
and after 20 min.s this pleasant young woman answers, with a slightly
indignant tone in my voice I say my TOS is static. She says what do
you mean static, so I tell her. Well sir it is sat., oh my God in
my 23 years of doing this, this is a first. I've heard of other people
doing this, but I never have. I apologize, say our good byes and slink
away from the phone and am relatively sure I provided a good funny
for the saturday morning office crew.
Somewhere, not far from here, someone set up a disco in an abandoned warehouse, about a thousand people showed up. 200 or so fines handed out
81 swingers in the middle of a pandemic - what could possibly go wrong.
Ha ha! I'm telling!
Sure glad I managed to get out a window...
French police bust at least 81 person orgy.
No matter what your thinking on wearing masks, this behavior sounds
almost like a death wish due to the prevalence of STDs out there.

Sheesh, the french government is afraid of the population to go back into a lockdown, so Friday, they decided to kinda close the borders and shut down shopping centers with more than 20,000 square meters Sunday (today). Obviously a figure someone pulled out of their ass.
Who the hell knows if their local shopping center is 20,000, 9,000 or 50,000. So this decision created a situation where ALL shopping centers were over run with people desperate to buy shit that they might not be able to buy for at least a month. Can people really not wait a month to buy a new pair of jeans?
7-15 days from now we will most likely see a huge spike in COVID cases due to this stupidity.
Sheesh, I look at the hot list from time to time and it is ALWAYS some piece of crap subpenny at the top of the list with BILLIONS of shares traded.
The latest piece of shit went up because someone found out somewhere that they were not going to do a planned reverse split.
Reverse split, no reverse split, the stock is still crap
Maybe that's the new fad, announce a reverse split to tank the stock, then cancel it to send it to the moon....
HA HA nice! I'd like to hear that.
My new phone has a boring selection. It's amazing the amount of people that go with the factory setting.
I'm surprised when someone gets a call, everyone within earshot doesn't reach for their phones as they
mostly sound alike to me.
I never imagined you getting anywhere near politics, who knows, you could be our populist
go to guy in Gaul.
Had a meeting this evening with the Mayor and a couple other elected officials to discuss expanding my association to include other vegetable gardens that may or may not soon be created.
Anyway, we've already been down this road. The last time they pulled me in to say they were going to create 10 gardens in a new subdivision and could I bring them into the association. No problem, 10 more, 20 more, no problem.
A few months later I asked what was going on with the new gardens, because I have a waiting list and don't know what to tell people.
OOPS! They forgot to reserve land for that project....
Anyway, during the 1 hour meeting that was more or less pointless, and I never asked for it, my cell phone rings.
A couple months ago I was screwing around with the ring tones and settled on one. It's like this
meow.... Meow.... MEow.... MEOw.... MEOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Scares the shit out of people every time they hear it. The mayor looked like he was going to have a heart attack. "oh sorry, just my phone, I'll turn it off"
My dad was passionate about his tomatoes.
He even had contests with a neighbor, the parameters of which changed every year to prevent front loading(circumventing rules). So when my mom's favorite dog of all time died(she loved him more than us kids), he pulled me aside on his way to work and whispered "when mom isn't looking take the dog and bury him in the garden...the end where the tomatoes are." lol
OK , the day doesn't end there...
I'm president of an association of vegetable gardens. Sunday, one of the people says that another has pigeon traps in his garden and it is illegal. So, I send an innocuous message to the city hall asking if I can put out pigeon traps in my garden. I got the response sunday "absolutely not".
So I ask the person from City hall to send a message to the person in question with a copy of whatever law concerns pigeon traps.
Well, she didn't understand anything, and today the police showed up at his house.
People can be so fucking stupid sometimes. The guy is my friend, I didn't want to send the police, the problem can be easily resolved between us.
What a shitty day.
It starts with me taking the motorcycle to work(haven't driven it in 2 years due to an operation on my foot), my wife needed the car. I get about 2 miles from home (works is 4 miles), and the thing dies.
So I call my coworker to explain the situation, tell him I think I just need a screwdriver to empty the deposits in the carb. Sure enough that does the trick.
Then I prepare to leave for lunch, the damn thing won't start because the battery is dead.
So I take the company van. I get home and there is a fucking stray cat trying to die on my porch.
So I call the fire department, here in France it is them that deal with this, unless it is already dead, then it is city hall. Woman asks me if the cat is dead, I say not for the moment but it could happen any minute.
So I'm sitting around, late for work, haven't eaten anything waiting for the fire department to arrive.
I hear them coming, dunno why they had their siren on, it's just a cat. So I try to wave them down, they pass right by me and do a u-turn somewhere down the road and I wave them down again.
So, apparently, according to them, the cat wasn't hit by a car, but perhaps poisoned by things unknown, and they took it off the the vet.
I though at the start that maybe I should just hit it over the head with a shovel to put it out of it's misery, then bury it in the garden, then I thought no, my wife will ask me one day whatever happened to Simon (we named it), and I'd have to say "those tomatoes you are eating, he provided the fertilizer........"
Hey, I just made this up.
FUCK OFF
lol, when someone says "Neil Young says it best"...that is a quote whether you say it or use the song. so silly, you cant make this stuff up.
I don't recall quoting Neil Young.
I said piece of crap then posted his song.
Normally, I would have said FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT, but decided to be nice
You quoting Neil is an insult to Neil. Grow up little lady
I suppose it is because I don't fire up false hopes on some fucking piece of crap that the SEC is most likely to suspend some time next week.
Niel Young said it best
how come every board you start dies? 22 followers last post 6 years ago. Complete loser
Not sure what led me to go down this rabbit hole again to run across this article,
but get with it!

In an alternate universe I'll just respond to an imaginary post with
'but of course, internet & mining technology, wish I'd thought of that'.
I was a freebie lurker on SI, but never posted there, I don't even
remember my alias which shouldn't have been a problem for you
I'd imagine, at least I hope not. I was one of those idiots active
on Raging Bull at that time.
My second attempt tp bring sanity to the world;

the previous attempt was deleted by insane nazis
they got millions or billions in donations to rebuild, concerns over toxic elements were found to be groundless
Over here our state lottery (Ohio) spends money like drunken sailors.
The Hilton and Michelin 4 star restaurants in the state capital are apparently not conducive to solving the rocket science of running the lottery.
That takes junkets to Jamaica and the Bahamas to figure out why schools keep begging for passage of ever record setting levies in general
elections. After all, the original reason and passage for approval of the state lottery was to benefit the schools and we can't figure out why
so many of our urban public schools, dating from the 50's and older still have low GED rates, poor college attendance records, crowded
classrooms, leaking roofs and insufficient heating and air. Nothing that some champagne and hookers in a hot tub in exotic locales
can't solve. I think you should trust they'll be responsible with your investment.
How's Macron doing with that pesky Notre Dame irritation btw?
here in france, FDJ is going public. It's the government organisation that sells lotto tickets, scratch cards etc
The initial offering is for 2 billion euros and just about anyone can get in. The price per share somewhere between 16 and 19 euros.
They can't stop talking about it on radio and television
My wife wants to invest and asked my opinion. I said no
First of all why do they want to raise 2billion if things are so great
Second, why does the government want to get rid of a cash cow?
Some knucklehead that is supposed to be an important and knowlegable stock guru went on television to say that at 2000 euro investment in this stock could return as much as 2200 euros in 5 years
Why the fuck would I want to tie up 2000 euros for 5 years to gaine 200 euros that will be taxed? wITH NO GUARANTEE that it will actually happen
Probably going to be the biggest pump and dump in history
Do you read your own bd.?
Or even post on it?
Maybe you also forgot to follow it
as I am the only person to do all 3 of those things.
Asking about Marianne.
