'kipp440' on 'Value Microcaps Junior Energy'

If I remember when we first came over from Norway with nothing but the shirts on our backs and one suitcase with rope around it because an Uncle Gtd. the 500.00 needed for the return tickets for my family if we couldn't find jobs and become useful citizens.. That was the way it was..

When I wanted an allowance at 8 Dad bought me a bike for $3.00 with a basket,, and told me to go sell newspapers.. All that came on that first ship leaving Norway after the Occupation became Citizens and some became very rich,, that was the way it was..

Today is much different with a Community Organizer in the White House.. Sad but true and the write offs we see companies having to take for the new Obama healthcare bill are but one example. But he gets on the TV daily telling all that listen that he won and even pre existing illnesses will be covered.. What he fails to say is not until 2014 but will suck all those "Rich People dry" to pay for it starting NOW.. Now thats the way it is..

Elections have meaning and hopefully we will see them throw the Bums out in NOV.. If not we will get what we deserve and then just bend over and touch your toes..hank

OT: Kipp, great response.

I didn't know that much about you....and based on the few posts of yours that I've read....sort of thought you were some spoiled trust fund kid :)

With my screen name and profile info., I suppose one might think I'm some sort of spoiled trust fund kid to, but probably have more in common with people from your generation.

I was also taught to work for what I need. When I was 11 I wanted an expensive BMX bike, so my Dad pointed to the lawn mower and told me I needed to earn the money to pay for it so I would appreciate it. After I earned the $200.00 for the bike, I continued to work to save for my college fund. At the peak, I had more than 20 regular customers and cleared $6,000.00 one summer, while not charging more than $10 per lawn....yeah, that's more than 600 lawns....each which took more than an hour....so I was working more than 40 hours a week all summer by the time I was 14. All that work paid for my first year of college....and for my hockey and ski equipment for winter-time hobbies.....little did I know how much more hockey would cost me in dental work down the road :)

So anyway, sorry for the misunderstanding.
