LOL! Well, I'm not selling anyhing. Seems like you should vacation in Affy soon. You have no idea what the world is really like beyond the US and tourist areas.
HHMMMm jb53,, probably drove past you many times on my way to the Carolina shore,,, thankfully the last condo & boat down there has been sold,, maybe a month each winter now instead...
syl-- those with concerns of a fetus are usually standing on religious beliefs or are the same bleeding hearts whinng about holding some in Cuba and have forgotten about a couple towers that used to stand in NYC. There are more important things than abortion-- if you want one I'm sure help can be found!
mlsoft-- only in America! However, I fear our decendents will be living in poverty. Additionally, in the future those that show concern for an enemy will simply be shot. Those that say any thing like what was mentioned here tonight (pro or con) will also be shot or imprisoned without a trial. We have a strong military that does not have the full backing of the country which weakens it tremendously. Those whinning about the US holding some in Cuba do not understand 1st, some certainly would like to kill us even at the cost of their own life, 2nd- they are living better than in their entire life. If the tables were turned and those were our military captured by terrorists, they would have been tortured until all info was given then they would be executed. Any one that whinned about their treatment would have recd the same execution. The general population of the US is weak. They cannot handle the requirements of survival of future generations. Weakness grows with each generation.
Before politely slapping an idiot some months back, I listened to his whine about a Marine in a restaurant as the idiots son in baggy pants, metal through his tongue & eye brow, purple hair that was a total disaster, & etc stood beside him. The draft is needed to make that type of slime into men or to be used as cannon fodder BEFORE they further polute the gene pool. Now-- this post may really get the far left/right spewing the BS! LOL!
jd-- some info for those that do not recv an employee discount. Members of various orgs have partnerships with veh mfgs. I belong to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). They have a partnership with Ford (DELL & others too). The discount is not as good as Class A (employee) and is called the "X PLAN". All Ford Company products are involved. Ford & Merc have the X PLAN price right on the invoice. The price is no haggle & under invoice price. Aust Mart, Jag, & Land Rov do not have invoices and discounts are not large on those vehicles. Admin costs are not permitted either. All incentives avail to the general public also are avail to X PLAN purchases. Whoops-- I can purchase only 2 vehicles per calendar year, my wife became an auxil member so the 3rd was purchased (she can purchase 2 per yr also). The only restriction is the purchaser my keep them titled in their name for at least 6 months.
Members of DAV should check their benefits pkg for family drug plan, travel discounts, ISP, and a ton of other things.
~~OT~~OT~~
Mideast Mystery??? Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists
are so quick to commit suicide. Let's see now . . .
No beer, No booze, No bars, No television, No cheerleaders, No baseball,
No football, No basketball, No hockey, No golf, No tailgate parties, No
hooters, No pork BBQ, No hot dogs, No burgers, No lobster, shellfish, or
even frozen fish sticks.
Rags for clothes and towels for hats. Constant wailing from the guy next
door because he's sick and there are no doctors. Constant wailing from the
guy in the tower.
No chocolate chip cookies, No Christmas.
You can't shave, Your wife can't shave, You can't shower to wash off the
smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung.
The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all times. Your bride is
picked by someone else. She smells just like your donkey. But your donkey
has a better disposition.
Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better!
Is there a mystery here?
I don't think so!
LOL!! When I heard about that site years ago I about rolled. I imagine it is still there,,, great for kids researching homework I suppose,
montanamark -- <<"do we have to be hit hard again
before some will wake up?">> was it enough the 1st time? Hell no! The bleeding hearts are not happy with the US hurting people. Looks like the Aussies are the same which is a surprise to me). We actually have some possible bin Laden sympathizers in jail-- the lawyers are really pissed about that! And be damned but there is 'profiling'! What for? Is it not just as likely a caucasian or black or Asian have been trained enmass in Affy -- probably millions of them like Walker,, Speaking of Walker-- it seems being a traitor would be punished by death,,but we just give him a slap after all the 'poor boy' came from a wealthy family. Until (and it will happen) the US takes a stronger stance and backs up its words the probability of additional terrorism grows. We have the strongest & best prepared military in the world but politicians tie their hands as the ACLU & bleeding hearts will pitch a real bitch when people die. How quickly they forget 9-11 and they cannot comprehend life in NK, AFFY and many other places. Hopefully, their children do not have to live it to become strong asgain.
ajt -- What? No link? LOL!
S Chun-Li-- Doubt they will go into SK. They do not want the wrath of the world upon them. They are economically deprived enough as it is. With no trade they will not only be cold but hungry too. Add the fact there are some TVs and they have seen what can happen as in Affy,,, well dumb does not mean stupid! At any rate-- until they get sent a real "message" they look at our out bursts as pissing in the wind,,,,, I suspect they expected repurcussions when mentioning their nuke program,, nothing! So they expect nothing from continuing the program. The NK have only slightly more value of human life than bin Ladens bunch (And Zeev, we have not sent near enough of them to visit Allah as they wish yet either). Few in the US understand or can comprehend the mentality of those with little value on their life or the lives of others. No bleeding heart can change them-- suffering probably will not change them either-- That is where the BIG STICK comes in..
Zeev-- I know what you mean-- but now I'm beginning to think of the power of "compounding" in the WRONG direction,,;-]
<<"they maybe somewhat suicidal">> Well,, we should do our best to assist them in the endeavor,,
I'm in the same boat and a few are getting close to my S/Ls. Even the swings may not have the momentum to go forward ......... LOL! Kinda sux!
syl-- remember "walk softly & carry a big stick"?
Well the STICK is to beat your enemy to death with,,
LOL!! At least you have a better chance of having a mkt,,
AND??? eom
You are correct 'Paul A-- it will be a long weekend with many more to come,,,,,,, unless some a$$ is kicked everyone just hears one more wolf mumble.
<<"Regardless, we can't let them start that reactor.">> Sure we can,, takes only a small bomb to set the whole thing off.
What would take so long? More important is "Why is George waiting?" Time for NK to go *POOF*!
mlsoft-- agree & therefore went exceptionally long yesterday & today. If correct I can smile--m If wrong,, well it will be time to start clearing them out late Tues,,
OT~~ jb53~~ That does look familiar. I generally go into town one way and out the other. I'll look for both on Moday. The web sites will make things easier.. I'll map them out and compare with my directions. I've only been there once before so I'll be following the written directions for the last time. Hopefully there will be few more trips to the campus. With a 10 am appointment I should be finished by 1PM. It will be too late to get home for the market so I'll be in no hurry. I guess you live in Cleve?????
OT~~ Thanks JB53,,, gotta be in Cleve Mon-- do not know the city well but will be near Univ Hosp..
Your point is? Or jealous you did not bump & rub the 30 yo? LOL!,
jd -- about 5:30 I hit a mall in Niles OH. Not real busy,, did not knock any old ladies down but did rub against a 30 year old,,,;-]
Area biggie Kauffmans was just slightly busy in all depts. JC Penny had people in all depts but only buying the 50% off the former sale price stuff. Mens shoes were dropped a bit more too.
I have moved to long positions for trading-- Me too-- for the swings more than day,, pfe under looked good..
Agree Joe, Have been slowly lightening up on corp bonds & preferreds,,eom
Thoughts on PFE today??
Good morning for you so far. I'm getting greedy on the MO swing-- 1 penny away from a four bucker. Have not had one of those in awhile!
TIN @ 44.73 -- if not the day for a swing..
Good luck with it Sandy---- but I'd not touch it except as a daytrade that hopefully did not last more than a few moments-------- & I'm more of a swing trader..
yes-- but 'pay TV' is not the sole business. Special events from you cable co. No cable co could survive on the rev from PAY TV. sat Radio will be rarely used except in vehicles-- hell-- what they offer comes on the 11 stereo channels provided by my cable company. I put about 2500 - 300 miles on my vehicle per month-- but find the AM,FM,Tape, CD player provided by Ford more than I need. What can they offer that I cannot find there? How about local news/weather & events. Sorry-- JMO but it still seems like a money loosing dot com looking for ears instead of eyeballs. Who do you see making bux for what Yahoo & cohorts provide free? Some tried and --- *POOF*
Rick-- I BELIEVE that is correct. That is the SALE DATE even though the sale may not clear for 2 - 3 days. A quick check with my accountants will clear that.... I'll try and remember to give them a call tomorrow. Still-- I trade nearly every day,, have for decades and neither this firm or the one in the past ever said there was a problem. Seems my confirmations and statements use the sale date-- not the clear date so it seems it would have to be the sale date..
Much of cable has value added programming and additional channels. do not forget cable also brings the internet to many. SAT TV is for the same reason for those that can not get cable & in some instances can not get any reception. No comparison,,
Then-- some people pay big bux for water out of a different TAP but in a bottle,, so there always is a fringe element..LOL!
Yes-- after all LT gains are offset by LT losses, if any.
Pay radio-- my thought is anyone that will pay for radio will pay for the air they breath. Maybe for a novelty but then??? My guess is by the end of '03 they will be looking for funding into '05... A "dot com" of the radio waves,,
Joe-- Maybe "3rd times a charm"? Maybe just find what they say this year and play DIA for 20% less? I'm still seeing the big guys at big firms (the NON-CNBC guests & regulars) as much more conservative this year.
bright-- he is about 5 miles from a county seat in NW PA.. Best of all he only has less than 15 acres on that parcel his home is on,, Not too bad,,except I sold him the land to build on,,, THEN they find oil & gas,,;-]
George-- once away from the TV personalities like Abby there is a lot less bullishness. Even the big guy (Kirshner) from UBS is quite restrained. Most of those feel the bottom is in,, but are looking for a lot ofvolatility and slow growth. None have much good to say about many tech issues. There was an article in the Vindicator (Youngstown OH) last week, probably syndicated------ that rambled the same theme. I do not think any were looking for a great dow gain next year-- somewhere around 9500,,,,,,,
WOW! TG,, you know as much about windows as most mfg. When building or remodeling I generally stay with Pella or Anderson due to the warranty. For sliding doors I have a company in your neck of the woods that puts out a good product with a great warranty and fantastic pricing. All windows are double pane (triple on high end jobs) with low e. throw in some argon too. Gives buyers some confidence. Agree the cost of replacement takes years to recover and especially agree it is how comfy you 'feel' thats important.
With the elec heat you do not 'feel' as warm as with oil. Oil is cleaner than gas and more comfy too. With a 1000 gal underground tank buying oil in the summer was an inexpensive heat. The heat pump did well until sustained cold temps moved in,, then the oil backed up. With the rebate from the power company the heat pump was less expensive to purchase. The drop of the load factor during winter put the power bill under the cost if heating with oil and the oil use really dropped-- another savings.
When building this house a gas furnace was installed. It is not a 'comfy' heat and certainly not clean. Dereg permitted a company to make offers. I recd a great 2 year price which expires this month. Their price would be much higher than the big guy that delivers the stuff too,, so I'm going back.
Fuel cel?? What I would rather have is my brothers situation. He has an oil well that produces little, but steady on his property. It pays a few bills. While drilling another oil well they hit gas. Now he gets free gas and a very nice check every qtr.
Right on Joe! eom
