Thankfully, Ihub is not life or death.

I still say just get used to it and move on.

Phil

As a police/emergency dispatcher, you should realize by now that the only constant in life is change.

Get used to it and move on.

No big deal.

Phil

It's a lot easier to do than screw with the built in mouses on laptops.

Phil

Compared to the FCKed up editor on TalkZilla, I love it.

I think he's a Canuckian.

Just hit "tab" and then enter after typing your post.

You don't even have to touch your mouse.

Maybe, the individual had a real interest in gardening, like stalking the wild asparagus as opposed to stalking the wild ...

Actually, I prefer the wild ...

Have fun,

Didn't used to have to be worried about tainted oysters in the Chesapeake Bay.

Only in the last few years.

Phil

In the ponds beside the island we rented there were hundreds of oysters that had been there a lot of years.

One day the tide went way out and we could just walk around and pick up giant fresh oysters.

We had a real oyster feast back at the island cabin that night, after we finished eating some raw ones in the duck blind.

Phil

I think the pics I posted were taken in Nags Head.

Unless they put the sand back most of those houses will be gone next year, or after the next bad storm.

We rented a beach house in Nags Head a year or so ago for a week, but it was a good ways from the beach, and IMO, would be a better gamble than having one right on the ocean.

Kind of like gambling on penny stock companies instead of real companies.

IOW, built on too much sand and no dry ground.

Phil

A number of years ago, we leased an island on the Potomac river for duck hunting.

We built several duck blinds on small ponds that were protected from the Potomac river waves with strips of sand. Some of those strips of sand were several hundred feet wide.

The last time I was there, most of the blinds were sitting up on the sandy beach or had been washed away and the ponds were gone.

Wind tossed water is an awesome force.

Phil

Probably not finished having fun yet.

Phil

The houses were not built in the water.

The storm blew in and washed out hundreds, if not thousands, of acres of sand on the East Coast.

In the case of the pics I posted, they were taken at low tide. At high tide they would have looked like they were built in the water too, but they were not.

Phil

So you agree with me...

This could trade in the pennies again

In the world of pink sheet penny stocks, one learns to never say never.

Highly unlikely though.

Phil

Are you old enough to remember a TV show called the "Outer Limits"?

Million would have fit in well on that show.

Or maybe Star Trek.

Phil

I'll take that bet.

Without a massive R/S this stock will never see the pennies again.

A pictures worth a thousand....wait $100:

A man walks into a bar with a picture of a cat, he tells the bartender it's $100 for the picture and $100 for the story behind it. The bartender says he'll take the picture, but doesn't care about the story. At the end of his shift he throws it in the backseat of his car and drives home. He notices thousands of cats following his car! He gets worried and stops on a bridge and throws the picture off, the thousands of cats jump off too, following the picture.

The next day the same man comes into the bar, he asks the bartender if he's ready for the story behind the picture. The bartender says, "No, but if you have a picture of president obama, I'll take it!"

VA. Beach has a seawall to help protect the hotels built on the beach and they have to almost constantly pump sand from the south end of the beach back up to the north end.

The surf was crashing on the seawall and the spray was hitting the windows of the hotels.

At last report the storm had washed almost all of the sand off of the beach all the way up to the seawall.

Phil

It's hard to feel sorry for people that build houses right on the beach knowing they could lose them to a noreaster, but seeing it still must be devastating:





Phil

PEOPLE TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE REALISTS THAT "BASH" THESE GARBAGE STOCKS ARE PAID TO DO IT, AND THOSE OF US THAT KNOW THEY ARE ALL JUNK AND TRASH THIS GARBAGE FOR FREE THINK PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE GETTING PAID TO PUMP IT.

oNE CANNOT BUT HELP BUT NOTICE THE PUMPING HAS FALLEN TO A TRICKLE INSTEaD OF THE WATERFALL IT ONCE WAS.

wHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

yOU THINK SOME OF THE PUMPERS WERE PAID TO POST ABOUT THIS pos COMPANY?

pHIL

p.s. Sorry about the caps.

Everyone does the best DD that they can on the information they can find and makes a decision based on that. They tempt the risk for the reward.

There was no way to do true DD on this "company".

It is a non reporting, or at least an unaudited pinky with a gagged TA.

There is a reason pinky companies gag the TAs and it's never good for the existing shareholders.

Exactly what DD did you do, except for reading and watching company generated BS?

None, because there was none.

You could have done as well by sticking your head in the sand and buying on blind faith.

IF the SEC would tighten the restrictions on the Pinks and start putting ALL of these stock scammers into prison as they do other white collar crimes ... such as those from Enron or WorldCom, it would greatly cut down on the bogus companies that crop up on the Pinks.

Amen

Figures, you juvenile punk.

I can envision the car that looked the same coming and going, but I couldn't remember the maker.

I guess we just have to face it.

We are old farts.

any idea what it means??

Who knows with that psycho?

Phil

Once audited financials are published, I wouldn't be surprised if the stock price goes down.

I believe this whole company is a stock selling scam and has minimal revenues, if any.

The big game hunter:

The big-game hunter walked into the bar and bragged to everyone about his skills as a hunter.

The man was undoubtedly a good shot and no one could dispute that.

But then he said that he could recognize any animal's skin by feeling it, and he could tell what calibre rifle was used to shoot it by locating the bullet hole.

This was a bit too much for the other customers, and soon a heated argument started.

The hunter said that he was willing to prove it if they would put up the drinks, and the bet was on.

They blindfolded him and took him to his first animal skin.

After feeling it for a few moments, he announced, "Springbok." Then he felt for the bullet hole and declared, "And it was shot with a .22 rifle."

He was right! The others could not believe it and the argument was even hotter than before.

When someone suggested that he must have peeped, he said that he was prepared to do it again for another round.

So they blindfolded him again, very thoroughly this time, and they brought a skin that someone happened to have in the trunk of his car.

He took a bit longer this time and then said, "Kalahari Lion."
Fingering the bullet hole, he added, "The rifle was a .308."

He was right again! This only made the crowd more curious, and he had to prove his skills over and over again, every time winning a round of drinks.

Finally he staggered home, bombed out of his mind, and went to sleep.

The next morning he got up and saw in the mirror that he had one hell of a shiner.

So he said to his wife,

"Listen, I know I was drunk last night, but not too drunk to know that I didn't get into a fight.

So where did I get this black eye?"

His wife replied angrily, "From me!"

"What did I do?" he asked.

She replied,

"You got into bed and put your hand inside my panties.

Then you fiddled around a bit and announced, 'Skunk, killed with an axe!'"

Compared to what?

Is a MOD or Asst. MOD permitted to post DD relevant to a stock specific board?

Why in the world would they not be allowed to post that kind of stuff?

As long as the info doesn't violate the TOU.

It is not OK though to post "market" info, such as "DD" on short sellers or paid bashers, etc.

The info has to be directly related to the stock/company in question.

Seasoning regular cast iron and keeping it seasoned is not hard.

IMO, just stay away from soap when you clean them.

I tried my son's Le Cruseut or whatever and the food stuck.

I'll stick with mine.

Caring for Your Cast Iron Cookware

Compliments of Lodge Manufacturing Company
World's Largest and Oldest Producer of Quality Cast Iron Cookware

http://www.dutchovencookware.com/lodge-cookware.html

I always understood that the primary purpose of heating the pot/pan was to open the pores of the steel so as to allow the grease in the pores.

In any event, I got this from Wikipedia:


Seasoning
Cast iron skillets, before seasoning (left) and after several years of use (right).

Seasoning is a process used to protect bare cast iron and carbon steel[4] cookware from rusting, provide a non-stick surface for cooking, and prevent food from interacting with the iron of the pan. This is a process similar to bluing (steel), forming an oxidizing chemical reaction with iron on the surface selectively forming magnetite (Fe3O4), the black oxide of iron (as opposed to rust, the red oxide of iron (Fe2O3)). Black oxide provides minimal protection against corrosion, unless also treated with a water-displacing oil to reduce wetting and galvanic action.

Seasoning is a three-step process, involving cleaning the cookware to expose the bare metal, applying a layer of animal fat or vegetable oil, and heating the cookware to bond the fat to the metal.[5] Seasoning also occurs as a natural by-product of using the cookware to cook foods that deposit oils or fats on the pan.

New cast iron that is not pre-seasoned is often sold with a protective coating (wax or shellac). This coating must be removed (typically by scouring) to expose the bare cast iron surface before the pan is seasoned.[6] For already-used pans that are to be re-seasoned, the cleaning process can be more complex, involving rust removal and deep cleaning (with strong soap or lye,[7] or by burning in a campfire or self-cleaning oven)[8] to remove existing seasoning and build-up.

Fats and oils typically used for seasoning include lard, hydrogenated cooking oils such as Crisco, and palm or coconut oil (in general, oils that are high in saturated fats, and therefore less likely to become rancid).

Heating the cookware (such as in a hot oven or on a stovetop) facilitates the oxidation of the iron, the fats and/or oils protect the metal from contact with the air during the reaction, which would cause rust to form. Some cast iron users advocate heating the pan slightly before applying the fat or oil to ensure that the pan is completely dry and to open "the pores" of the pan.[9][10]

Newly seasoned cast iron will have a dark brown coating. If the seasoning process is repeated, or after prolonged use, this coating will turn glossy and black, and the non-stick properties of the pan will further improve.[11]
