Check the posts of HIAR and Sinister Midget (his latest incarnation), and you see it says "Banned" below his name. The "Hey Isaac" thread deals with
it.
I suddenly like the forum a lot more now!

What if it's a financial crisis and not an Emergency?

That's a good question Scallo. I've got most of my savings in stock options which have been growing nicely for twenty years now. As long as i don't
sell any i'm not loosing anything right? The financial crisis of today is not very different from other bumps (1982-1989-2000). There have always
been doomsayers, as in "this will be worse than '29...blah blah...". We have just been through a 10 year boom with mega bucks floating around making
everyone happy (think McMansion). This is the longest running bull market in history so when trying to ween the addicts off their habit even slightly,
you instantly get big time withdrawal symptoms.
What is really a problem, and a recurring one, is that it's the little guy who will be punished for the big guys incompetence....again! And there is
still dickall that the little guy can do about it. That for me sucks big time. I work in the housing and building industry (20years now), and have
seen my share of crisis'. Everytime it's the same thing. I see the plomber drive up to the site in his new Porshe Cayenne S and think "there's a guy
who wont get through the crisis", because he will not put equity into his business, he'll just ride the wave until it runs out and he sinks along with
all his employees. So stupid because it could be avoided by simple management practices.
Anyway, an Emergency would be more along the lines of health and welfare of my family, if you get my drift.

Ah OK... good... hope your stock is in good companies. If they go bust your tactic is, well... not functioning.

Once a tasty treat, now just a memory...
Cinnamon pie I baked for my sister.

My dad and sister loved it! I discovered I'm not too fond of succade (one of the prime ingredients, along with almonds), but I liked it
nonetheless.
Baking it was rather frustrating, though.

I tried baking a cake once, but I was pretty young and didn't understand the contracted recipe forms of tablespoon and teaspoon. It resulted in much
too much baking soda.

Well... you could try again now! Cooking is a very difficult science indeed.

Well I actually do cook quite a bit. But no baking. Nothing involving ovens of any sort for me. Except when you just chuck a frozen thing in there for
20 minutes...I can handle that.

It's a clever idea to stay away from ovens! I often burnt myself on them. Still have a huge burn scar from when I was 4. I remember the skin peeling
off. It looked just like a moustache.
But baking pies and cakes is really very rewarding. The delicious aroma fills the living room, making everybody peckish...

PC's been down for several weeks and I have had to go back and forth between my local library--which is across town--and a computer terminal at a
local K-Mart.

So, I suppose you are going to ban me over here, eh Bonny girl?
Just because?
