cmu, pretend it’s Ireland. When I’m there, I notice people from 11 to 111 drinking in the pubs. Or if he’s not into that yet, they have bocce and some old school video games there. I hope you can make it; I enjoyed talking to you last time.
What, you continue to intrigue me.
I have to agree with Biff – be yourself, the inimitable, the original, the one, the only — What!
Say, can you ‘acquire’ Bernie Madoff as a target? There’s a target we can all agree on! : )
What, you’ve shown you can be civil when people are civil to you. And I’ve also noticed a subtle change in your posts lately (as you’ve mentioned yourself) when referencing the mess we are all in, i.e., it’s worse than even you thought and you are concerned about our future.
“will try to be there, have son with and he’s too young to drink, so need to dump him somewhere…”
cmu, you are a paragon of parental virtue! good luck ‘dumping’ the kid…hope to see you there!
“I really don’t want to be some sort of online umpire here and get in the middle of other people’s fights/heated discussions.”
Thats true!
“So, at least for now, I’m just going to worry about myself and how I respond to people. No need for you to ask me my opinion; be yourself.”
Thanks Biff!
Systems are operational and fully armed! We have go, I repeat we have go!!!!
The What (Acquiring Target Profiles……)
Someday this war is gonna end…
I see your point Benson. Guess it just depends on the start and end points used for that kind of historical analysis, which usually have a big impact on the conclusion.
I read a similar trendline analysis a few weeks ago suggesting that nationally prices had 15-20% more downside from here to get back to trend.
Of course the other bear point is that the current environment does not have a precedent in the past 50 years.
Fwiw, the ‘down 20% and then flat for 7-8 years’ scenario is pretty much what happened in the UK in the late 1980’s-early 1990’s recession.
(will take this to the relevant thread)
What, while I asked you to tone it down with MM awhile back, at the end of the day I really don’t want to be some sort of online umpire here and get in the middle of other people’s fights/heated discussions. Hopefully people have noticed that I’ve been toning down my own act and that’s really all I can control and all I want to control.
I think you should respond however you see fit to unprovoked references to/perceived attacks on you and I’m not going to comment again about it. MM, DIBS et.al., while posters I consider friends, are more than capable of handling themselves. I’ve also begun to listen to what you’re saying more than how you are saying it and think you often have very good insight into things.
So, at least for now, I’m just going to worry about myself and how I respond to people. No need for you to ask me my opinion; be yourself.
Thanks THL, it does sound delish.
We buy our meat from a butcher (never a supermarket), so I’ll ask him to cut the ‘fate’.
I will pick it up with a fork and put it in the pan. But how do I do that blindfolded; I can’t even look at raw meat.
And don’t ever ask me to spice up ground beef and make hamburger patties, I will pass out right after throwing up.
[whistle blowing]
It’s lunchtime! Enjoy everyone.
“Don’t cut the fate off”
My new mantra in life!
