Here's one for Cantankerous (Nice win for Navy! Even though I am an Army guy)

Yes. related to that. (replying to ICanSleep...)

I have always wanted to attend a bowl game. It seems like such a cool atmosphere. I'm living in Buffalo this year, but will soon go back to Tucson, and will have some extra $$$ soon, so hopefully next year, I can go a bowl game.

RIP Mike Nesmith I saw the Monkees in Memorial Auditorium in 1967 (I think). Sadly, Jimi Hendrix was no longer the opening act by that point in the tour! My neighbor had hired me to chaperone her 2 pre-teen daughters who were attending the show, so I got a free ticket. So much screaming, it was hard to hear the music.

I failed to mention that if you live outside NYS, you can probably buy XLM ("Lumens") directly through Lobstr, and skip the Coinbase step. Then you can swap them for XRP.

Announcement of the queen's death is one of the events. Also, the collapse of the 3 Gorges Dam in China.

Thanks for giving it your consideration. I did mention that time is short. There are some big events coming which will change the whole world, including the financial system. Once that new QFS comes in, the price of XRP goes way up (as well as gold/silver prices) and this opportunity fades away. Sorry to make it seem like a high pressure sales pitch! You could get started with $100 before your finance guy gets back to you. Not much risk in that. Well, $100 can be a lot for some folks' circumstances.

If you want to get rich quick, forget the stock market. It is so manipulated by the big guys, such that the little guy will never make more than peanuts. If you want to make big money honestly, here is the deal, but you must act soon. If you are in NYS, exchange choices are very limited, so open an account at Coinbase. Use a debit card, and buy some Stellar Lumens (also known as XLM). Using a debit card should allow you to move your XLM right away (otherwise, with credit card you have to wait several days) Where to move your XLM? Open a Lobstr account, and you will be able to move your XLM here. Once you get your XLM into Lobstr, you can swap it for XRP. (yes, this is a way to buy XRP now). You can make huge profits on XRP, but you can't fart around and do this next week. Time is of the essence. Why listen to me? I'm not a line chef, after all. Just a retired software engineer with a masters degree. That doesn't prove anything, but I know a few things most people do not know. I expect to be very rich very soon. You can do this with $100 or even $50, I suppose. It depends on how rich you want to be. The stock market will soon crash, so you could be left with nothing. Bitcoin will soon go to ZERO because it is not ISO 20022 compliant. Ethereum gone too. Do a little research on the Quantum Financial System to see what I mean. You can PM me if you wish.

Are any of you guys suffering from the tumbling Bitcoin value? You can save your investment if you trade your BTC for Stellar Lumens (XLM). If you have the Lobstr wallet, you can then swap those XLM for XRP. This will make you wealthy, moreso than holding BTC which will soon go to zero. Don't say you weren't warned. But then who the hell am I? Just a smart guy - not perfect, though. But I am going to have some VERY LARGE GAINS fairly soon. Not sure yet what to do with a million dollars, but I'll think of something.

Sure, but wasn't that the "Run and stop the run" coach saying that?

They've tried??? No, they have tried - on a budget. We need to spend more than a 3rd round pick on a RB! You might say RBs are a "dime a dozen" but you get what you pay for. When your QB is your best runner, you have a problem. It was a glaring problem Monday night.

You pay a premium? My sister bought silver locally (Hunt) and paid like $12-13/oz premium. That's how you start out in a hole. Go to JMBullion.com or SD Bullion (cheaper and slower) and silver was $3-4/oz above spot price. These are reputable dealers, so no fakes. Bars and rounds are minted by some well known mint. Easier to sell stocks? Are you kidding me? Are you missing something? I think so.

You should go out and beat them twice before you talk s**t like that. I don't think we can sweep them this year.

It was a dance at St John's school in Kenmore, but they had The Beau Brummels! That might have been the first famous band I saw. It was 1965 or 66.

Are they going to become ISO 20022 certified? That's the key.

That's very sad. I wish him a speedy recovery (if that is possible).

If she really wants to be taken seriously, tone down the model-style hair and makeup. You can still be pretty and not look like a dumb blonde. But she seems to relish her glamorous look, so best wishes to her.

Take any spare funds you have in savings and buy precious metals today. Go to JMBullion.com for fast reliable service. Silver bars and rounds are easy to buy. Very soon, the Quantum Financial System will be in place, and will be backed by gold, silver, etc. This will make their value increase - greatly! I would avoid the stock market, where the little guy never makes much profit because the big guys manipulate it so much. I believe it will soon crash.

This is a picture I call "Opie with a gun"

When the new Quantum Financial System is ushered in (soon), the only coins in use will be the ISO 20022 certified coins. That's the XRP and XLM families, Algorand, IOTA, and a few more. BTC and ETH and most others will go in the dumper. 99% of coins will be worth zero. Write it down.

I am surprised those long skinny lake freighters can survive on the larger waves of the Atlantic. I thought they were designed for the Great Lakes, but I am just a land lubber. "She might have dove deep and took water" is a very eery graphic image to me. The sea is a cruel mistress.

You think the rappers of today can talk fast? They got nothing on ol' Hank Snow.

Woodstock songs, but none really mention New York.

I got a stern lecture about "Happy" from a co-worker a few years back. He proceeded to tell me about the friends he had lost. Maybe a Blessed Veterans Day is better, but that does not suit everyone.
