Ok...I'll admit it...I took the test earlier today...got 10 out of 11! The one I missed was the question about NOAH vs. MOSES and the ARK! Yep! You MUST read CLOSELY!
It was FUN!

JM...and then you want us to later listen to your stock advise? Scary thought! LOL!
Oh, GEESH!
Is this conversation happening in Jail? Sounds like it belongs in Carolyn's "THE CORNER BAR"! (BAR) LOLOL!
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=413
LOL Matt! Great Humor! HAHAHAHA! I love it!
Not to confuse the conversations here, but I must agree with NW....
The pipe bomb episodes are NO LAUGHING MATTER!
To be intrigued by them, Joemoney, sounds "almost" as though you were applauding the efforts. ("ALMOST")
They arrested a suspect tonight in Nevada. A young troubled man. I hope they help him. He seems to have some mental problems.
JM,
No, I want to learn more about the people who observe me and why they think the way they do.
Joe, no two people are alike in every way. That is why some people become friends and some choose to be/have enemies. Life is complex for everyone. Throughout time all disagreements (EVEN LEADING UP TO ALL WARS) are due to the simple fact of not being able to communicate (agree), or agree (conform). Even you and I are doing it, right now!
They act like a person such as me cannot exist and thus dub me as a "fake."
I haven't once seen a poster here call you a "fake". That might be a figment of your own imagination and cause for further introspection on your part.
And them come up with some excuse as to why I act the way I do.
I don't think they come up with "an excuse". They respond to you based on their own perspective and points of "KNOWLEDGE/WISDOM".
Like I'm a conspiracy.
I think honestly that you are way too hard on yourself actually. I think that if you look at it from "outside yourself" that all the answers will come to you. Stop trying so hard to overanalyze everything. (Believe me, that is still a tough one, even for me!)
In the long run, life is shorter than you think, and we truly are ALL IN THE SAME BOAT wondering if everyone is paddling as well as we are ourselves.
Joe ...
Firstly, I am not talking down to you.
You asked a question.
I asked if I could reply.
You said, "Shoot Cowboy".
I am merely replying.
Why are you now getting defensive or trying to change the subject to posters other than yourself?
Relax friend. You asked for opinions. Apparently you wanted to learn something about yourself. I'm just trying to help you in your quest.
(Side question: Do you ALWAYS wear boxing gloves? LOL!)
JM...further thoughts....
Hope this helps....
You've "BEEN 21".
I've "BEEN 21 and am now 48". I have learned 5 to 10 times as much as I knew in the 27 years it took me to get to age 48 than I learned by the time I was 21.
School doesn't teach anyone everything there is to know. It only teaches us how to "learn more knowledge".
I know this sounds very esoterical to you, but I BET a person above 50 or 60 posting here at IHUB understands what I am trying to convey to you.
Hey, JM, did YOU edit? Or did I miss part of your reply?
Are you saying that 21 year olds aren't cocky? LOL You're wrong if you are, lol.
No, I am not saying that at all. In fact, until you just told me, I had no idea how old you are.
LOLOL!
In 'real life', to those of us in our 40's plus remember when WE were 21 and 'thought we knew it all'! Did that make us COCKY? Of course it did, to those older than us at the time, but not to US! See?
You'll see it more clearly when you are over 40 and get the opportunity yourself to reflect back to today when you 'thought you knew it all'. That's when you'll wonder why you didn't listen to and respect people that have been 21 TWO or THREE or FOUR times over in their lives.
"KNOWLEDGE" can be self taught, or "Universally Shared". We all have to choose what works best for us. However, society has predicated that the "Universally Shared" way works best over time.
"KNOWLEDGE" is WISDOM born of facts rather than personal opinions.
Am I making any sense to you with this thought process?
Good reply and question JoeMoney...
In 'real life' it is understood that the lack of communication skills is likely a sign of a 'lack of maturity', hence it would be 'easy' to discern that perhaps because you communicate in such an unusual manner on the Internet that you lack a degree of Internet Maturity, hence "YOUNG". Does this clarify it better for you?
AIMGUY...
Your post was a neat grub, too!
You were the 350,000th post on Investorshub.com
CONGRATS!
Joemoney,
The Internet is a vehicle of words.
It is difficult at best to derive the true personality of another poster based upon their opinions or attitudes or presentation of their subject matter through text only.
Instead of in the 'real life' adage of 'What you see is what you get', on the internet it's 'What you read is what you translate'.
IMHO, your general text posting poses the problem for you that it can be taken one of two different ways.
1) A person full of dry humor.
2) A cocky, arrogant, know-it-all, SOB who has no regard for respect of fellow human beings or their opinions or attitudes.
Even your very response to this post will likely be read by most readers in one of the two ways stated above.
Here is what I have found to be helpful to me, and perhaps it will help you. When you decide to post on the Internet, type as though you are speaking to YOURSELF at the time, not others. As you type, ask yourself....
"Is this the way I would like to be treated in society? Are my words communicative or are they destructive?
Will my message be understood by readers with the same clarity that I am attempting to portray, or will it be misread, misinterpreted and therefore undervalued?"
Has this been of any help to you JoeMoney?
JoeMoney,
Mind if I take a shot at answering your question?
Just a little WAKE UP Music! LOL!

The Always Present "BEAT"!
Love knows no boundaries. Whether in private or public life, our hearts have desires, goals, and restrictions.
Time heals no wounds!!! Love heals all wounds!!!!
Time does not negate love. Love does not negate time.
The essence of yesterday is the promise of tomorrow.
TIME DOES NOT BEAT TO A DIFFERENT DRUMMER!
Godspeed. And Goodnight.

The Fairy Tale of It ALL!
I think that Cher truly always DID love Sonny. Success itself is what got in the way.
Not to demean Sonny in any way, for it was he who constantly told Cher she was destined for success. It is at the soul level of love to which I refer. Both Sonny and Cher had their individual 'successes'. Sadly, Sonny's were cut short of his dreams and aspirations unexpectedly.
Of all their songs, I believe that this one speaks most truly of the two of them as artists and humans....
If but only they could "Turn Back Time!"

Do YOU Believe in Love?
Ironically....
Cher's popularity grew even more with a rerecording of an old MOTOWN song...
It's In His Kiss !!!
(Sorry for the poor quality sound links tonight. Doesn't seem to be a lot of Internet support for most of Sonny and/or Cher's music!)

Growing Popularity...
Cher soon followed that hit with HALF BREED!
(Check out the unique markings of the horse!)
[Suppressed Sound Link]
But let's face it....
We know that Cher was unquestionably the more beautiful and talented of the duo....
Her breakout song Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves blazened a path for her future!

Doggone Internet...
I tried to find an appropriate sound file for the included pic of Cher. It is when she used to do the popular prelude song to the VAMP SKITS!
You know...
"She was a scamp, camp, and a bit of a tramp...
She was a V....A.....M........Pppppppp....

SONNY AND CHER!
The Sonny and Cher comedy hour ran from August 1, 1971 (as a summer replacement series), until May of 1974. Two years after the end of the show, even though the two had split up, they werem once again together on The Sonny and Cher show. The show lasted from only 1976-1977. The show featured some of the top songs from the 1960's that Sonny and Cher performed, including, "I've Got You Babe" at the end of most episodes, and o "The Beat Goes On". Some of the show's most remembered guest appearences included Ronald Regan recieving the first ever "Bono" award, Barbara Eden in her post- I Dream of Jeannie days, Steve Martin, and Bob Einstein just to name a few. The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour was picked up by Nick at Nite's TV Land in early 1996 when the show debuted. The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour currently airs every morning at 5:30AM eastern time.
Cast Biographies
Sonny Bono- Sonny Bono was born Salvatore Bono in 1935. Sonny first sang background vocals for some of Phil Spector's classic hits. In the 1960's, he met Cher Sarkisian Lapierre, who he later married. Sonny was fired by Spector in 1965. It was after this that Sonny and Cher began to come famous, with the hit song, "I've Got You Babe" in 1965. Many other hits soon followed. In 1967, Sonny and Cher starred in the movie, "Good Times". By the end of the sixties, their music career dwindled. Sonny tryed to revive their fame by becoming a nightclub act. It was here that Sonny and Cher's "marital jokes" began on stage. Sonny convinced CBS to make their act into a summer replacement show. The show began on August 1, 1971. The show's success made CBS bring the show back in December 1971. The series fell apart after Sonny and Cher's divorce in 1974. Sonny tryed to come back in television, but his next two shows "The Sonny Comedy Revue" and "The Sonny and Cher Show" were not ratings grabbers. He had a couple guest star appearences on The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, but Sonny seemed to be a has-been on television. He re-married in the early 1980's and opened "Bono's", a restaurant in Los Angeles. He later moved the business to Plam Springs. He found trouble with rent and taxes, so decided to run for Mayor. Most people joked at this.. an old 1960's long-haired rock and roll singer running for a government office, but Sonny won and remained Mayor for 4 years. Afterwards, in 1995, he made it to Congress in Washington D.C. Sonny recently died in a ski accident ,
January 5, 1998 at the age of 62.
Cher Sarkisian Lapierre- Cherilyn Sarkisian Lapierre, a half-American Cherokee Indian was born in 1946 in Calfiornia. When she was a teenager, she decided to run away from her mother, who had been married eight previous times and was an ex-actress. After this, she became a back-up singer for Phil Spector. It was here she met Sonny, Phil's assistant. When Cher moved in with Sonny, they started their own act, called "Caesar and Cleo". The act wasn't a success until they re-named it "Sonny and Cher". The year after the change, they performed their first big hit, "I've Got You Babe". This song would become a closing number for The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. Cher starred in Chasity in 1969. As the team's popularity decreased, Cher and Sonny went into the nightclub act instead, until The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour in 1971. After the show ended, (and her marraige with Sonny), she went on to her own show, "Cher". The show brought on a lot of stress, so she teamed up with Sonny again for The Sonny and Cher show, where Sonny could handle some of the show business pressures. Cher has enjoyed a long solo music career, lasting from the divorce of Sonny and Cher to the 1990's. After TV, she starred in some off-broadway plays including ,"Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean". One of her most current CDs was realeased , "A Man's World", was released in 1996.
MEMORABLE GUEST STARS
Ronald Regan: Ronald Regan makes a guest star appearence on the show. He recieved the first ever "Bono Award", from a very proud Sonny. When Sonny asked for a speech, he read his speech he had written for the opening of a fair in California, replacing the name of the fair with "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour". Sonny said it would work...
Tony Randall: During the run of is successful "Odd Couple" series, Tony Randall made a guest starring appearence on the show. In one scene he played a Roman Emperior, where he proclaimed, "I Am an Empeor. I am a Living god!".
William Conrad: During the run of "Cannon", big William Conrad made a guest starring appearence on The Sonny and Cher Christmas show. It's a great chance to see serious Frank Cannon in a comedy role, and as Santa!.

I have quite a few, I think. Isn't that the size floppy used in the Commodore 64? Yes, I still have my Commodore 64 and all the game floppies for it. LOL!
I still have my TRS80 Model 1.
The 4K Wonder!
I paid $549 for it at Radio Shack so I could play PONG.
Later on I bought a modem for around $100?? and got hooked to Compuserve.
It used to take up to two minutes to receive an answer back on a BBS (or was it a Compuserve "chat line"?). Too long ago to remember it all, but some of the memories are incredible.
When a boy, I remember my Grandpa talking about owning his first Model T "AUTOMOBILE". It sorta feels like that. LOL!
Bob,
That link is sooo classic, I just placed your post on the TOPPOSTS Board here at IHUB! Thanks!
