OK, no books.

Sooo, well if for some reason you ever want to go to France, I can show you a few things.

NOT Paris, if you want to exhaust yourself at the Louvre, have at it, I went once and that was enough for me.

Once TT told me he was coming to France, I asked where, he said well, where they make wine.

Ok, so he narrowed it down to the entire country.

Tours of vineyards that you have to PAY for, that is for tourists. For non tourists, it is free. However, they hope and expect you to buy something after having tasted all of their wines.

[ottoman]

well, I hate reading.........so there's that little caveat lol. no books really. I'm happy to send the little care package.

I picked up some peanut butter cups today. Not done yet

I'm getting regular type peanut butter cups, not the crazy flavored Halloween special ones

[Wayne R]

I need to do stuff like this sometimes. It's therapy for me. 😊

Reading a book is therapy as well, I just have to mine my memory to find the perfect one to send.

hmmmm, Steig Larsson, the girl with the dragon tattoo. There are actually 3 books, all found in his desk after he died suddenly and published after his death.

Someone wrote a 4th, with the acceptance of the family, but it was crap.

[ottoman]

No book required, no really!

I need to do stuff like this sometimes. It's therapy for me. 😊

[Wayne R]

OK, got it and answered.

You really don't need to do that, on the other hand I'll be doing nothing at all for 3 months, a few peanut butter cups might pick up my spirits....

So now the challenge is to figure out what book to send you in exchange.

It needs to be something profound.

I'll have to think on it

[ottoman]

I sent you an email. Let me know if you get it. I can't private message (until Friday after market close for "happy hour")

the little TURD that could. Carvana (CVNA) up 22% today. Run turd Run!!!

[ottoman]

well, lol, since the first thing I saw was a shark, perhaps it's Poseidon

[Wayne R]

Theo swears it is Zeus

[ottoman]

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find"

[Wayne R]

Well I tried and gave up, could be that God or Zeus or Dr Seuss, doesn't want to leave my garage and have His image posted on the net.

[Wayne R]

Ok, maybe it is not God in my garage, could be Zeus, or Dr Seuss


edit, well that ain't working.

[ottoman]

It's a little time consuming, but not that difficult

first, you have to "upload" a photo to the internet. Many people have personal photos on Google cloud, or posted on facebook etc. I don't post photos online.

So I use an image-hosting website like https://imgbb.com/ or https://imgur.com/

Once the picture is on the internet (somewhere), you need to copy the image "link"

To get that image into an IHUB message, you choose the "image" shortcut
"[img][/img]"

then paste the image "link" inside the brackets. Then ( This is IMPORTANT ) You have to delete the https:// from the link. I don't know why, it's just the way IHUB does things.

Hopefully the following image shows it more clearly:



DONE!

[Wayne R]

OK thanks.

Now you can tell me how to put a photo on my computer embedded in a message on Ihub.

[ottoman]

check your email. I attached an edited letter of my suggestions.

[Wayne R]

Well I figured it out, you really have to want to figure out who the mods are to really know.

Progress I guess

Oh, now I see you now need to go to the END of the page to see Ibox and mods and such.

I suppose that s a good thing, a 20 page long Ibox always pissed me off

[Wayne R]

Well I sent you an email and removed your post. I thought I was also moderator of this board when I created it, but see no indication that I am, yet I removed the post.

I must have been granted somewhere God status instead of Grandfather status.

Hmmm. let me try this elsewhere.... HEE HEE HEE...

[Wayne R]

TCDA, well, I looked at the filings. I can honestly say that I have never, well, maybe I have, seen such a convoluted , actually I have no words, we got filings, people buying the crap out of it, then filings people selling the crap out of it. All in less than 4 weeks.

On the bright side, their buildings and equipment must be worth more than current prices...

EDIT; forget about it, I looked at the financials. They bet everything on this and lost.

Well, more than everything.

[ottoman]

Note to self (because no one else gives a piss), bought META after hours on earnings plunge. Down 12% after hours.

[ottoman]

added more TCDA, because, I want to make sure I totally destroy the company. stock is down 28% from where I bought it, when it was already down 94% lol.

Turd Investments LLC

[ottoman]

Note to Self: bought of TCDA. It's down 94%. Let's see if I can crash the stock even more. currently .6712

[ottoman]

lol. who knows. I just threw a few dollars at it, and figured I would wait until the whole market starts recovering. It's down 90% from one year ago, maybe the stocks that are the most beaten down, the ones everyone hates most, are the ones that bounce highest, and fastest...........probably not lol

also nibbled some CRVA, because everyone despises it. Down 94% year to date.

[Wayne R]

GDRX, Looks OK, this

n September 22, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved (i) an annual base salary increase from $428,000 to $450,000 and a target bonus opportunity increase from 30% to 100% of annual base salary, each effective as of July 1, 2022, for Karsten Voermann, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer; and (ii) an annual base salary increase from $333,000 to $400,000, effective as of July 1, 2022, for Babak Azad, the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer and SVP, Marketing & Communications

So what, from an 8K. Perhaps undervalued or smoke and mirrors accounting.

[ottoman]

NOTE to self: Bought GDRX (at $5.03) , NVTA (at $2.61) and PSNL (at $3.30) for entries. Let's see just how bad I destroy these stocks........ even more than they have been.

Had to get the story out of my system. Glad you enjoyed it.

My son is about 80pct in English, my daughter maybe 60pct.

I need to keep them on their toes with expressions they had never learned in school.

[ottoman]

in response to your PM, haha!! love it.

[ottoman]

remember, I can respond to private messages. but yes...haha, yes translated instructions are fun. You'd think with all the technology, and all the people who work for a particular company, you'd find ONE person to accurately translate to English, or another language lol.

Amazing that 52 years ago, people walked on the moon, yet all these years later, and 52 years of technological advancements, you can't get one person to translate to English, or French or etc.

[ottoman]

I took off my baseball cap and tossed it in the air, and damned if the ball didn't hit it and drop down, right into my hands.

haha! awesome! Although, from quick research, it looks like it should be a violation. "detached equipment rule" .


When a fielder throws his glove at a batted ball, it is a violation of baseball rule, 5.06(4)(C), the detached equipment rule. There is no penalty if the glove does not make contact with the ball but if the glove makes contact, all runners, including the batter runner are awarded three bases.

[Wayne R]

You guessed more or less right but not my kids. I suppose I polluted their education with baseball and golf.

Was thinking about something, sometimes I was pitcher, when someone better, and most were better, I was in the outfield, that I was very good at, as soon as the bat hit the ball I knew exactly where it was going.

Except on day, I miscalculated. I saw that the ball would sail over my head by at least 6 feet.

I'm not making this shit up.

I took off my baseball cap and tossed it in the air, and damned if the ball didn't hit it and drop down, right into my hands.

The whole game was halted while they consulted the rule book.

With no clear rules regarding throwing a hat in the air, the batter was sent to try again. He was good, and I suspect pissed at me, and sent the ball directly into my glove. I didn't even have to move, it was headed straight for me.

Excellent shot. If had been golf, he hit a hole in one.

[ottoman]

yeah, I wouldn't think baseball is very popular in France. I'm guessing Football (soccer) is probably played by every kid/adult in France.

[Wayne R]

I like golf, good to get out and walk for miles chasing a ball in the sunshine.

SO many cheap golf courses in Canada, when I moved to France, forget about it. 80-100 euros for a round of golf.

Form time to time I take out the clubs and hack out a few balls into abandoned fields.

Same with baseball, when I moved here, i checked around, baseball is my real game.

I found one baseball club near here, I had to pay 500 Euros to buy equipment and get registered.

I have a bat, I have several baseballs, hard and soft, I have my glove. What the hell do I need to buy that would cost 500 euros?

So I gave up that idea and play with my kids from time to time in the fields. Well, just to pitch, they hit, one tries to catch.

They are in their 20's now, and getting better...

I haven't gotten them from softball to hardball, probably never will. I haven't pitched hardball in a very long time, my arm would probably lock up if I tried a curveball.

[ottoman]

ugh. don't wanna think about it. I Never liked golf anyway.

[Wayne R]

Golf

Gdog put me off golf forever, still have my clubs but afraid to use them.

He had an incident involving a kitten and a golf club many years ago....
