Bulldzr and Tucker.....what do you all think of lunch at Bonnies on thursday the 13th....i believe thats the day earnings come out before the market opens and the CC should be over by the time we get to Bonnies....should be a good day for conversation.....let me know your thoughts as soon as possible.....best...RTD

Mister...I am probably a lot more grown up than you are but that be as it may....no way will i put you on ignore...then i couldn't know when to get on you for acting so foolish and also i could care less about hurting your feelings....RTD

Mister...I thought that JKJ phrased his post in a very intelligent and nice way....he is one of our better posters and has done a lot for the members of this board...I thought that your post was out of line and and very inconsiderate...i think that JKJ is too much of a gentleman to tell you what you need to be told...i am not!!!! you need to learn how to show consideration for other posters feelings....if you don't like what i say then perhaps you know how your posts make others feel.....try being a gentleman on this board.....RTD

SPREE:Gonna try for some time in the next three weeks....kinda hard to get all the folks together on any date....have a great week....RTD

Bulldzr...we are past due...we need to check with Jim in a couple weeks and see if he can get down anytime soon..will try to get Loop to check with Jim and see how we can do....best....Rookie

JIMLUR....Please allow me to use a ditto on ALLEYS post to you...he has conveyed my thoughts to you much better than i could do....take a good rest for a couple weeks and you will be as good as new.....thanks for all your friendship....see you in Bonnies before too much longer......best....RTD

OT:ART and AMY...She is hitting a "BANG" driver....a calif. company which is sponsoring her....really good clubs...just not yet well known....she always asks about you and Amy....she is as proud of you two as you all are of her....so am I...best....Rookie

MY 3 SONS 87....I kinda remember that occuring many,many years ago but I can't remember what happened to me or to the market.....just another of those senior moments...have a great evening.....best.....RTD

Just want to remind all you guys and gals that a few months ago i posted to you that we are going up because the skirts are going up also....best way to figure the markets...skirts up....markets up...skirts going down so are the markets...why spend money on what the SMART GUYS say....just go to the malls or the clubs and watch the pretty ladies go by....their skirt length will tell the real story....best to listen to an old man.....have a great Christmas All....best.....RTD

JIM-LUR:I believe that one time i read the statement "Gunga Din,you are a better man than I"...I believe I can easily say the same thing about you...I don't know how you put up with all the stuff you put up with on these boards but I salute you for your work on these boards and appreciate all you have done for us and I can assure you that the huge majority of the board posters feel the same as I do.......also two of my favorite folks on the boards are Loop and Bulldzr and i also really appreciate their knowledge of what goes on...just wish they could tell me what the agendas of a few of the posters on the boards are as i know that their[posters]agendas are not the same as mine and many other board members....I just don't understand some of the posters reasons for posting the "crap"that they post...maybe its definitely time for another "Bonnies" lunch and you guys can tell me what some of these folks are trying to accomplish.....best to you all....RTD

OT:Chartex and Memphis....Spent many "Happy Hours"in the Peabody Hotel around 59 years ago...took flight training at the Naval base and usually spent week end liberty hanging around the Peabody...wonder if they still have the ducks in the lobby...best to both you guys....RTD

OT:Hey Marchma....Bulldzr pulled one on everbody when that picture was posted....he took the pictures and so no one got to see his face...you really have to watch that guy...he is pretty smart....I will vote for both of you and let Loop pick the winner...of course i don't know who the winner would be...the one elected or the one defeated??...best....RTD

DWS:no problem getting in or posting on R.B. for me tonight...best....RTD

OT:Jim-Lur...just want to take a moment or two to let you know how much so many of us appreciate you...many have gone back to R.B. because they just don't feel comfortable here..there is no question but this and R.B. board are for idcc information but sometimes many just like to have some fun too[weekends are a good example]some feel that this board is a bit too tough along those lines....lots of disgreement there among posters...anyway,I want you to know that in many of our minds that you are one of the best and we all would feel safe as long as we knew you were at our back....still wanting to see you at Bonnies and there will always be an empty chair at the head of the table waiting for you....am not asking you to leave here...just come over to R.B. and visit with some of your friends every once in a while.....will try to stay out of trouble so i can come visit with you some....my very best to you....RTD

OT:ONCE....thanks for the information....Don't think i will pay though as i think i might need to keep my money to bail myself out of jail...got a hunch i might be on pretty thin ground around this board.......RTD

MATT: thanks very much for the information on how to get to the private messages.....had no idea i had any.you have no idea how stupid i am on the computer.guess i owe a lot of folks an apology for not replying to them but i didn't know they had written me a private message[also i don't know how to write them a private message]....any way i appreciate your reply to my request.....thanks...RTD

MATT...I have no idea how to check a mailbox...i am lucky to know how to post...would appreciate an e-mail.....User564136 @cs.com...tia....RTD

OT:Matt...or whoever.....i wrote a post to JIM_LUR about 20 minutes ago and it didn't show on the board....i saw where Art posted that the same thing happened to him...this has happened to me before and i had no knowledge of why...were they deleted or did i make a computer mistake....if it was deleted i woukd hope you or whoever would have the courtsey to e-mail or let me know that my posts were deleted for whatever reason....RTD

GE_JIM:I am guessing that your post was a good one but it was all Greek to me.....came at a good time just after my one on R.B.....tell Jan hi for me and have a great evening....best....RTD

Data_Rox...as you well know there is not a board on the internet which does not need a lot of enlighting...your help and thoughts are always welcome where ever i might be...my very best to you and try to make Houston and Bonnies in the ner future....Rookie

To All....a very goodnight to my friends and to heck with those who are not...til tomorrow.....RTD

TO MENANDER:I would like to invite you to the next Houston Cabal meeting and lunch at Bonnies in Houston.Your lunch bill will be my treat.I know a lot of Jim-Lurs "cronies" will be there and would really enjoy meeting you...you certainly seem to be an interesting fellow and would be a welcome addition to our next dinner.If by some chance the date of the next lunch is not convient for you,please let me know and i will certainly do my best to change the time so as to fit your schedule.....please do your best to fit us into your time frame.....RTD

DESERT DWELLER:please allow me to take a bit of issue with your post to Matt...just because many of us wish to return to posting on the R.B. board does not mean we don't want and plan to continue posting on the I-Hub board nor does it mean that we are some low brow type of person who belives in vulgar posting etc.many of us posted and became part of R.B. for many years and we had no idea that Jim-Lur was planning on leaving and moving to I-Hub...we moved because of our liking and respect for Jim...not because we felt I-Hub was a great board...we were just part of a herd movement.We were comfortable with the other board and many are happy to go back and be with ole friends and not be under the rules and regulations of I-Hub...[that doesn't mean we are foul mouthed thugs...I don't think that many of us want the vulgar posting used much whereever we post but we also know that there are not many of our society who do not use or read or listen to the vulgarity that seems to be part of our everday life.My feeling is that the movement back to R.B. is not a group wanting a vulgar board but a group who does not want to be regulated by Matts rules and types of punishment[jmho]also we like and respect many of the posters who are the ones who often receive the punishment.....i know many of the folks who have jumped back to the R.B. board and i think the world of them and i don't think i am such a bad person that i want to hang with a bunch of thugs.i know i have rambled a lot but please give a bit of thought to what i have said.most of the folks over there have dealt with the onces and buxs etc and we don't want to go through that again......come over and visit every once in a while......RTD

MEMPHIS...looking foward to your coming to Bonnies and meeting all the folks...hope all is going well and hope to see you soon...best....RTD

to:st1610,bobsil,jsc810,clamcakes and dumpter....come on home...best to all of you and see you on raging bull.....RTD

TO:Data Rox...naturally i would forget one of the most important friends...please forgive me and get over to raging bull and post there also....you are one of the best....RTD

TO ALL:JIm-Lur..Bulldzr,CLS,Go-Blue...Easymoney,frozen tundra,Rockitt,Danny D.Dagrinch,chartex,mickey britt,gamco,and even Nicmar[and all i might have left out because i don't remember too good any more]come on guys...lets go home to raging bull where we are wanted....best....RTD

OT:Mschere....I would do the same except I have him on ignore also....I thought he was still in jail...Parole board is getting easy,looks as how.....have a good day....best..RTD

TUCKER: as soon as i recover from the latest drop in price ,i will take you up on your request...have a great day...best....RTD

GE___JIM....I don't think its any secret as to what i now think of Idcc management...my big kick on them is that they have little or no concept of management ability as far as public shareholders treatment goes....my thinking is that they could care less about how we feel or how we survive in the world of big business...i have nothing but contempt for them as human beings but i do think that they are very competent in the way of the law.My thinking is that we are way oversold and that we will look back on this price area as a great buying opportunity...would'nt surprise me to see us go on down to around 12 bucks but i really expect to see us up in the 20s in another six months......but whoever said i had any sense....give my best to Jan and I really wish you and Bulldzr would get on the same page...hate to see two great guys like you two at each others throat...come on down to Bonnies and i will buy the friendship drinks for each of you...would make my day.....best...RTD

OT:floridian ggg....one of these days we will all get together and have a real ole Texas Hoe Down....might even go to Bonnies for dinner once or twice....you and all the real folks have a great weekend....best....RTD
