finally retired. Looking to be an organic farmer somewhere north of San Francisco. After we sell in LA, we'll camp out until we find property.

It is really difficult now to sell a spike in hopes of buying back on a dip, when they both happen the same day. I think I'm going to sit with my core shares and enjoy a nicer nest egg. I bet it won't be long until 15 dollars is ringing the bell at the close.
What the dentists don't tell you here is that smoking is one of the primary reasons people lose their teeth. When you go to the dentist, and they know you smoke, they see a cash register and they won't tell you. After your teeth are gone, the information comes out that smoking was one of the primary causes. Commercials never tell you that. I stopped smoking in the early 70s. I still wish I hadn't started it. But, we can't look back and change anything can we? choose a better path and move forward.
I just got caught by a legit looking clickbait outfit. Sorry. Can't trust anything online, as much as I try to make sure what I am reading is legit, I still get stung.
damn, I checked the date of the post I saw, which was yesterday. Apparently clickbait is quite disguised. I hate reposting old stuff. sorry for that.
Just saw it tonight. Gene Wilder passed yesterday at 83 years old. Another legend gone.
I was referring to when you could strike somebody when they started pushing you around. That is very frowned upon these days.
I still use the solar powered TI-30SLR calculator I purchased back in the late 70s. No key bounce problems like the Business Analyst I have has.
when I first moved to Dallas, I set up camp by European Crossroads on Community Drive. Harry Hines was quite the area, maybe a bit seedy. I got robbed at knife point by 5 'gents' on my way to The Beggar Club one evening. Fun times!
Over a 10 year period 75-85, I worked at the Expressway site, Stemmons, Lewisville, and Plano.
I was living in Dallas back then.
After I joined the Air Force, I did receive orders for Nam. I was at Robins AFB. Guys I worked with who had been there, said, you won't see it, we're pulling out. So those orders were redlined and I got to spend a year on a toxic atoll named Johnston Island. I'm on a few JI boards on FB and I missed a bullet big time. I somehow missed the herbicide orange poisons, and the plutonium ground toxins from a missile launch which didn't go quite right before I got there. Many of those folks are suffering from Orange and Plutonium damage which for some reason, I do not suffer from, and our wonderful government has decided that Johnston does NOT qualify as IN COUNTRY, and they will not honor these folks any compensation. OH yeah, lets talk about SUPPORT the TROOPS! One of my wife's brothers was Air Force and spent 2 tours in Nam. He came down with O related melanoma. When he wanted to go to San Francisco for an experimental treatment for it, the Reagan era government told him if he did that, his family would lose all of his benefits. That is murder in my mind. No, you will die in our hospital, and fucking suck it up. Our government will send you to war, but however you come back, you will rely on churches and non profits to get help. Sounds the same as support the fetus, fuck the child.
She had an older brother who also spent 2 terms there during the Tet Offensive. They found him hanging in a motel room a dozen years ago or so. Had a silver cross in his duffel bag. Heroic behavior helping a helicopter get off the ground with wounded soldiers. Her dad was a pilot who spent a year or so in a Japanese prison camp. He came back a changed person.
My wife and I were raised military, she has been married to 3 Vietnam vets, and this is NOT the country we were raised to act like members of when we lived in foreign countries. We do mourn the loss of this country.
My high school years, 8-12 were spent in the garden spot of Baltimore MD.
I know lots of good folks from there, and lots of not so good folks. The new Baltimore Speaker of the general assembly is a sister of one of my track and field buddies. People flower in ways we can never imagine.
Everybody on this board has a history which would read like a novel. The thing that fascinates me is that we are all living/going through our lives, intersecting and weaving with people who are going through the same adventure that we are, and no person's path is the same. Pondering this; does it not border on profound?
I find even people I disagree with, melding history may create a bridge.
I did learn in high school, (when you could do such a thing) if the bully pushes you to incite trouble, make him bleed first.
Doesn't much work these days for some reason.
both my folks wore raised on farms. they didn't want the kids to have to work that hard. As a result I was made to take college prep courses all through high school. I did ok, I stayed on the honor roll except for one year where I got a D in World History. I received a low draft number, and after I graduated, (when I got the number I think), I went down and joined the USAF. That got me out of the house of an alcoholic WWII vet, and where I started learning electronics. Once you are in that field, or chemistry, or physics, or medicine, you never really stop learning. The last digital stuff I was working on at Space Park, was 1600MHZ. Takes an active resourceful imagination to work on that stuff. When I was working at Texas Instruments we were troubleshooting (OMG)16 MHZ. All in a short part of a lifetime. It is painful to see most of science research being systematically shut down.
I kept it simple. Thanks Jimmy. There is so much information, and knowledge available to learn, we couldn't hope to absorb it all. Like Prana breathing. Agni Yoga Teaching says that Prana is actually The Fires of Space. The Fires of Space IS the many spectrums of energy which is radiated out into the void we call space, by ALL of the stars in the universe. That takes Chi and Prana from the realm of imagination, into an actual substance we consciously learn to invite into our bodies when we inhale. That image isn't imagination any longer, when you KNOW what it is you are breathing into your body. It also effects the DNA just like our food does. Prana is a nourishment you do not receive, unless you address it at the beginning of each breath. (Agni Yoga Teaching is the source of that).
It has worked for me on a daily basis for 12 years this month.
Thanks for that. I've been science oriented since way back in school. My folks had 3 sets of encyclopedias, so I read mostly from them to support my school grades and then I read a sci fi book They Walked Like Men by Clifford D Simak. That took me in many different directions. My career was fixing and troubleshooting digital electronics, which led to examining why things 'don't work'. That bleed through led me into energy work, geometric sculpture, Chi Gong, Massage Therapy, Fascia Fitness, martial arts, and a host of other disciplines which lend a hand in trying to figure out why this country's health is in such a mess. Now that I have retired, I apply my knowledge into fixing up a hundred year old house near the Redwood Forest in Humboldt, and learning organic gardening.
I think I may have heard this in a movie, but if you aren't busy learning, you're busy dying.
My wife has had Lupus and Fibromyalgia since we got married 35 years ago. She is 5 years older than I am, and due to the studies we have gone through for diet, herbs, and daily stress, and what I've managed to learn along the way, she, remarkably, is still not having to take meds for those conditions. She and I have planned and built two porches on this old house. Tough work for folks in our age group, but we can get it done when we put our heads together and work as a team, though we have mostly done that through the whole marriage. You don't marry a lady with 3 teens at home, (no kids me), and not do a whole lot of growing on the side. All in all, life is good.
you're serious. You are serious. get YOUR fucking English right moron.
Which implies you are not. I'd say that makes you a troll who just likes punching buttons to get a rise out people, which apparently you are very good at.
no it isn't. take off your hood and maybe you will see more clearly. The reason there are so many sexually unexplainable variants is due to the toxins sprayed on the foods we eat. Those chemicals change the DNA and people are born with so many DNA combinations, there is no way people like YOU can say it is a choice. They are born the way they are, and your black or white (mostly white it seems) tai raids about it doesn't make a damn. Most sprays are meant to confuse the sexual information of insects, but we eat that crap and maybe someday you could make a leap of consciousness and actually see it. Maybe some of your grand kids are already on that path.
happy bitter old days to you.
I was buying my core investment early in 2014 before the spike. So I'm in for less than 2 bucks a share. Last year I played the dips and rises and made ok bucks. 2019 was an unbelievable growth year and I am excited to see what will happen this year with an ok base with this one FCEL and PLUG. It appears the rest of the planet is sane and supporting hydrogen, whereas this country does not. so sad.
Well, eventually this week we will have a jammies day. bloodwork tomorrow morning, her appointment Wednesday, and the car in for a tuneup on Thursday. With the rain expected, it will still be relaxing. The cats will have plenty of new places to drop their potties! Tired of them raiding the uncovered gardens. My wife wanted birds. I screwed that pooch when I started feeding semi feral cats after getting them fixed. bone of contention big time.
I still have some. Not buying any more until they do actually prove they are producing hydrogen in significant amounts. I think I originally bought in around 2 cents, and it never went above where I bought it. so, bagholder posting.
My 67 year old shoulders are happy that part of the job is done. the raking wasn't tough, but putting the wet dirt and grass into our green bin and moving it back to the place where I will take it down those awful steps for garbage day, 1/2 done. We will seed and press in the morning because we are looking into a couple of weeks of rain as of tomorrow noon. Taking my wife to a bloodwork in the morning, and when we get back we'll seed, I'll roll it, and take the roller back, and after that...jamies day for a while as we get rain for an indeterminate period of time. We're looking forward to what the meadow will look like with some sweet cicely planted around the yard.
I just finished using the de-thatcher machine on our north yard where the greenhouse is. Holy crap! not for the feint of heart. It is a heavy machine. Then we raked the mess. Next we're getting ready to mix some meadow seed, yellow rattle, chamomile, allysium into some sand to make it easier to see where you've thrown the seed. then we have to roll it down and I have to take the stuff back to the rent-all place inside the next hour and a half.
for the lightness of it.
Here is a recent play by the Who...greatest tune by them ever imo.
I like that one as well. I think you may like this one from a Friends and Legends album by Michael Stanley. Great bunch of musicians.
I know you and I stay in contact in several forums. I like it a lot. I did mention that we are going turn our northern yard with the green house in it, into a meadow yard, didn't I? All kinds of meadow flowers, sweet cicely, yellow rattle, and I don't know what else. We bare going to try to keep our newly discovered ground bee hive happy.
with lyrics, it is way powerful.

beautiful song. happy I listened to it.
a big fat gap is not so desirable.
absolutely true! Even a person living in a huge forest of acreage will find it difficult to live off the land. Not only do you have to try to propagate a forest garden, but you have to hunt as well. Sleep is a luxury in those kinds of times. This is the kind of reason people were burned out in their late forties and early fifties.
I know I do not have the knowledge base to live independently 'off the land'. That knowledge base takes a whole lot of time to pack into your brain and your family's brain. And of course a great teacher who walks the walk.
We are headed into very difficult times.
sadly, nobody throwing money at these wars, have family who will be killed in them, unless they're second cousins and such. none of trump's family will do anything but profit by them. our present senate also hails from that club. Kentuckians must love them a Russian friend of state. McConnell needs to be voted out with a host of others if this country has have a chance at not being voted enemy of the world in the next four years.
Have you been staying clear of the burn so far? Best of luck to you and family.
Nice strong close for the first trading day of the year!
selling half of my new position today certainly helped me a bit. Stunning to see how many shares you still have left!
then fucking leave it.
rooster has been a plague here for many years. another troll pooping on the floor of the board. If I have to be removed to get him removed, I'd be good with it. I'd have too engage an argument to make that happen, wouldn't I?
best of luck to your new year.
