The same GOP got bent out of shape
over the Dixie Chicks....
this pretty much says there isn't anything beyond
the scope of their stupidity.
The new school year started and the grade school
teacher wanted some students to tell a brief story
about summer vacation. Several students eagerly
raised their hands including Little Johnny. The
teacher asked Alice to tell a story.
"We took a trip to the Grand Canyon during vacation"
Alice said. "We rode donkeys down a steep trail to
the bottom of the canyon, it was fun."
The teacher asked for another volunteer, several
students eagerly raised their hands including
little Johnny. She was afraid to call on little
Johnny because he swore a lot in last years
classroom. The teacher chose Fred to tell a story.
"My Dad and I went on a fishing trip way out in the
country. We stopped at a small pond, I cast my lure
into the pond and caught the biggest trout We'd ever
seen! We started a campfire and cooked the trout,
it was great!" Fred reported.
"That nice Fred, now how about another volunteer".
Several students were waving their hands. The teacher
felt sorry for Little Johnny and wanted to give him
another chance.
"My Dad and I went on a deer hunting trip. We saw a
huge 18 point buck in the field, my Dad aimed and
shot it right in the asshole" Little Johnny said.
The teacher was mad, "Johnny you mean rectum" she
said.
"Rectum, you bet it rectum, shot his balls clean
off."
but how many are washing before they actually use the bathroom?
it might explain the lack of need to wash after when they leave...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE MEN are leaving the bathroom without washing their hands, study finds.
hmmmm
they didn't list GFCI as one of the team's or
at least the CEO's
latest accomplishments.....
go figure....
Sounds like it should be a Premium board
Well I for one am glad for the news
since the tv was turned off by the time that late game was on.
I was counting on someone to post it....
Newspaper didn't make it today....grrrr..paperboy!
Thanks...for posting it.
Seems like that puts Denver in 1st place for at least one week
of this season in their division.
I wonder how long that will last.....
Denver's looking a bit shaky
BUT
better shaky and winning that going backwards...
they're still jelling as a team behind Cutler....
and the D is missing Al Wilson something bad as a leader...
Dre Bly gave the Raiders that big spark of momentum...
Nice to see the Chargers spanked.
The Pats can get their spanking now and lose the rest of their games.
And of course today's news includes
CTBG has been on the naked short list the past 13 days....
True story
Just finished installing a new fancy tub in my wife's bathroom.
Now Tim Allen and Al Bundy both would be proud......
You see....women like to take long warm soaking baths......
well
not trusting a plumber to do what I wanted to make her happy
and because she thought we needed a plumber to to do this.....
I remodeled the entire bathroom as well.....
only one short custom piece of trim left to make and paint
and a touch of caulk and it's done.....(tomorrow)
SO,
what's so special about it....
well it isn't how well it drains which it does very well....
It isn't the larger size (the door had to be moved to accomodate)
It isn't the control valves set right at the height of where
her arm bends at the elbow....or the wide fancy shower head
raised and extended to provide complete coverage like rain....
or the mood lighting or any of the other niceties.....
it's the insulation job....
You see....I used 5 types of insulation.....
it's insulated under it AND all around
including 2 reflective types....spray foam by the wall seams...
and even used that new polyfill they use in extreme sleeping bags
and even stuffed the floor boards between the joists with that
polyfill and around the drain pipes......
yeah.....I used a lot of that dang polyfill....
I was so damn sure of myself......
that THIS TUB was going to keep the water warm....
I had her fill the tub with water just a wee bit warmer......
to account for a little heat loss....
then I dropped in a thermometer and it was 167º
69 minutes later.....(I made her wait an hour+) and.....
in spite of her skepticism & complaining the water would get cold......
it was only down to 160º......only a 7º drop....
even with my going in, opening the door, and losing some heat
about every 10 minutes....
so then she went for her bath and jumped in and the entire county
could hear her whoop and yell......
WOW......It's STILL HOT! HOLY SHIT! WOO-HOO!
an hour later.....she said it was still WONDERFUL......
sometimes.....I actually get it right....
That was GREAT!
Randy isn't
Bo was like greased lightning on the field.....
I would if he (The CEO) would return a phone call
or take one from a shareholder....
he hasn't since February
unless you were one of his tribe....
First you say this is dead
now it's supposed to start picking up....
which is it?
I've requested to be removed as Mod.
While the veracity of your overall information concerning Downs
isn't something I would contest in this forum,
I sincerely doubt you have the same experience I have concerning
civil litigation which includes success against a Fortune 500 company.
They have huge firms to fight for them.
I paid full boat all the way, no contingency, and won.
The % of people that have done this is small in comparison
to those done on contingency.
Downs is a small fry compared to this.
In addition, There's our age difference where time alone is a factor
as to just how much one can accomplish in a given period of time
which can include the time spent on education.
Unfortunately, what I cannot discuss here is what I turned up
in the past months when I became convinced IDWD is a scam.
I do apologize for not being able to share info as you have.
I'm not a greedy person by nature. I tend to approach lawsuits
with the question: Can I afford to do this and go all the way.
What I've learned is that when I bring a well researched
dossier to a law firm with say a check for $25k to start,
they usually respond by asking what I want out of it.
Sometimes they request I consider the case be done on contingency
so they can get a bigger piece of the pie.
If they don't, then I move forward.
The only thing I can say is to answer your question concerning IDWD:
Is it worth it?
My answer is: Absolutely for me.
Then explain it for the newbies
so it's On topic.
$10k will buy a lot of civil lawsuit with the right attorney.
It can get you through discovery when done properly.
$25k gets a lot more done.
My guess is your premise involves getting an attorney
or team of attorneys to take a case on %.
My premise involves just paying the attorney.
That way it full steam ahead no matter what.
I've had success both ways.
The poroblem for a crook like Downs
is he can't hide behind the 5th in a civil case.
He must answer the questions puit forth
or face contempt of court and sit in jail
until the question(s) are answered.
When you pay your attorney as you go, you get a lot more
influence about what questions are put forth.
It would be foolish to post what has been found that is
worth going after.
Besides, I'd be satisfied just getting him back behind bars.
Plus, then I could attend Parole hearings....
The Yes to All.....
It's getting old.....really old.
It's like repeating the same joke over and over.

Did you know that Eagles mate for life?
Well one day Harry the Eagle waited at the nest for Mary, his darlin' of 10 glorious years. When she did not return, he went looking and found her. She had been shot. Dead! Harry was devastated. After about six minutes of mourning he decided that he must get himself another mate, but he just might have to cross the feather barrier. So he flew off to find a new mate.
He found a lovely dove and brought her back to the nest. The sex was OK, but all the dove would say is: "I am a dove, I want to love! I am a dove, I want to love!" Well, this got on Harry's nerves so he kicked the dove out of the nest and flew off once more to find a mate.
He found a very sexy loon and brought her back to the nest. Again, the sex was great, but all the loon would say is, "I am a loon, I want to spoon! I am a loon, I want to spoon!" Egads! Out with the loon.
Once more he flew off to find a mate. This time he found a gorgeous duck, so he brought the duck back to the nest. Again the sex was great, but all the duck would say was... Well...you know... The duck said,
No...the DUCK didn't say THAT!
What an awful thing to think!
THE DUCK SAID......
"I am a DRAKE you made a MISTAKE!"
Hammered today on so little volume...
GFCI's volume is higher for the 2nd day in a row...
My give up!
rotfl!
First time my oldest said that some years ago.....
my teeth almost fell out....
Buttmunch...
he brought that home from the gradeschool playground...
and they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Perhaps
it's hurting membership revenue......
---------------------------------------------------------
Imo, free members shouldn't be able to view more than the
IBox of a Premium board....just my opinion mind you...
That would hurt ad revenue.
Phil
Should be a good game to watch
Should be a dogfight.
till the scales get tipped for one team
Problem is
I'd like for both teams to lose.......hehe
San Diego loses....good for Denver
Patriots lose....it's a public spanking....
I can't make up my mind on this one......
Think I'll just watch the game....
Wrong
A civil case is much easier to succeed at than
a criminal case.
The best part is that success in a civil case when
done correctly, can then lead to a successful criminal case.
Not internet google or read in a book knowledge.....
First hand knowledge of success.
Experience.
Having been there more than once and succeeded more than once
a few things are learned along the way.
The problem I have is teaming up with others
who don't know how to do it with success.
I prefer to go it alone.
Hey I didn't get any Kremes!!!!!!
Then there's the Premium boards
which paid members get to post in.....
Some are pretty cool....
Imo, free members shouldn't be able to view more than the
IBox of a Premium board....just my opinion mind you...
The Funny Pages:
Half Price
US Air recently introduced a special half fare for wives who accompanied their husbands on business trips. Expecting valuable testimonials, the PR department sent out letters to all the wives of businessmen who had used the special rates, asking how they enjoyed their trip.
Letters are still pouring in asking, "What trip?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
THE ANNIVERSARY
While enjoying an early morning breakfast in a northern Arizona café,four elderly ranchers were discussing everything from cattle, horses,and weather to how things used to be in the "good old days."
Eventually the conversation moved on to their spouses. One gentleman turned to the fellow on his right and asked, " Roy , aren't you and your bride celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary soon?"
"Yup, we sure are," Roy replied.
"Well, are you gonna do anything special to celebrate?" another man asked.
The old gentleman pondered this for a moment, then replied, "For our 25th anniversary, I took Bea to Tucson .
Maybe for our 50th, I'll go down there and get her."

Two Arabs
Two Arab terrorists are in a locker room taking a shower after their bomb making class, when one notices the other has a huge cork stuck in his butt.
"If you do not mind me saying," said the second, "that cork looks very uncomfortable. Why do you not take it out?"
"I regret I cannot", lamented the first Arab. "It is permanently stuck in my butt."
"I do not understand," said the other.
The first Arab says, "I was walking along the beach and I tripped over an oil lamp. There was a puff of smoke, and then a huge old man in an American flag attire with a white beard and top hat came boiling out. He said, "I am Uncle Sam, the Genie. I can grant you one wish."
I said, "No shit?"

A Japanese man is in this country earning money to send back to his poor family in Japan. He takes his first paycheck to the bank and exchanges it for yen to send home. He gets a 360 to 1 exchange rate.
The following week he goes back to the same bank, but only gets 350 to 1 exchange rate. In his broken english he asks why and the teller tries to explain, but the man doesn't understand. Finally in frustration the teller says rather loudly, "Fluctuations.....fluctuations".
The man turns to leave and when he gets to the door he looks back and says, "Fluck you amelikans too"!

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,
Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him.
She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the medical director became aware of Edna's heroic act he immediately ordered her to be discharged from the
hospital, as he now considered her to be mentally stable.
When he went to tell Edna the news he said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Jim the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom.
I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry."
Night Nurse Nancy walks into a Royal Bank after working all night
(graveyard shift).
Preparing to endorse a check, she pulls a rectal thermometer out of her
pocket and tries to write with it.
She looks up at the teller, with glazed eyes. Pauses for a moment, then
realizing her mistake, she says,
"Well, that's great...just great...some asshole's got my pen."
hehe
that one share....
it keeps ACMG showing up in my L2 quotes....
The $2.35 buyout
doesn't even make any sense anymore with all the extra
nonsense added in about WSA, etc.
I know a few who want to sue Downs and saee where it takes them.
Imo, that will be more interesting than anything Downs
claims in a PR anymore.
End of quarter just means more empty nonsense from Downs, imo.
There's a CTBG board:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=5044
for posts like this.
The CTBG dividend's been paid by GFCI.
Perhaps since it's separated from GFCI now
it's doing better is the only possible point
I can see inferred as relating to GFCI.
Imo, GFCI is done. It's toast. It's toxic.
The only thing that will change this is if
reasonable dividends are paid on Global and FTXN.
I don't see this happening, who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
If these dividends were paid by GFCI
and they weren't at 1-100....
I think FTXN would actually run
and I'd actually buy some.
Otherwise it's a lost cause and so is FTXN, imo.
rotfl!!!
perfect description
teeth first into the pavement....
good one!
well yes, there is that.
no it doesn't.
You know,
I landed on IDWD when it was at rock bottom
and looked like it would go up....
I gambled some on it without too much DD
and it was ok...
It wasn't until I got to IHub that I learned all the dirt....
and IDWD hasn't followed through on anything, imo.
Those restricted HLS being converted to IDWD shares was
the final straw for not believing anything Downs says....
It doubled the share count basically.....
and the rest of the soap opera has just been ugly.
There's no believing in any $2.35 buyout.
Got the same thing with both my brokers.....
no can do online trades in FTXN....
when they do that....I stay away....
I agree Skunks
have to take the games one at a time
and leave the other stuff in the locker room
The disgusting thing will be if the announcers
won't shut up about it instead of focusing on
whatever game we'll happen to be watching....
It's times like these I miss Howard Cosell and the gang
with Dandy Don Meridith singing The Party's Over...hehe
Ouchies
wonder if the Pats will appeal it
to get it down some
Remember Bo Jackson.....
they absolutely ruined him as an athlete.....
don't get me wrong
I hope it doesn't happen.
How about we guess the new symbol after the RS?
everyone gets 10 guesses as long as they don't repeat another one.
Here's mine:
RIPP
SCAM
FLOP
NUTZ
LOSE
DUMB
FOOL
POOR
ROOP

but then how would I see those ADs
I'm not supposed to see anymore?
