Nobody cares, flip.



Now BOW DOWN to your White master and get to dusting and vacuuming my condo!

[Angry White Male]

I shall also add that schedule is pronounced [shej-ool].

And some people spell "stationery" wrong. But what is the point of this spelling lesson?

The damn Flip does nothing but complain here.  Usually about me, but at times about other dumb things also.  She's like a "CC Lite."

[Angry White Male]

Which is an equally pointless post.

Exactly.

[Angry White Male]

Here they are simply 'Flips.'



Usually Britain and OZ has decent slangs, which shorten terms to the least amount of syllables.  You guys often do this quite well.



Here we have ya beat.  They're Flips!

[Angry White Male]

WHIPPAH SNIPPAH!

Some bald men look very good.

There is a care home in Morgan Creek where my ex worked briefly at.  Pretty much all the care aids there were Flips, and they were impossible to work with.



What we eventually figured was that they simply don't want white workers amongst them.  They make work life miserable, so as to ensure only more of their own get employed there.  Of course, and what other outcome would happen when you flood a place with FOB Flips?



She quit there after a few months.

Nope, she's right. Someone from here has created a thread at Third Rail Forum inviting those creeps, "flamers", mentally deranged arbiters of idiocy and stupidity to join us here.



Whilst some MAY be worthy, most are of the ilk of Caskur, and wasn't she a treasure?

I'm from TRF, what seems to be the problem? I didn't come in here dragging my knuckles or "flaming" anyone. What seems to be your problem?

I smell a loser  





Or you could be "smelling" your creativity when it comes to forum names. Was George Washington already taken?

Hello there. I'm pretty new here. So I was wondering if some of you nice people would tell who it's safe to communicate with, and the not so safe posters.



My name is Jenna and I'm from the Bay Area in California. I'm 26 years old and I was just seeing what this forum had to offer. It's my hopes that I will find engaging conversation and enlightenment within myself.



I look forward to meeting you all.

Hello and welcome LanceForgetYou..

 ac_smile

All of the posters here are safe to communicate with.

Oh good. I was really wary that people would think it was weird that I communicate with people I've never met, and that I have this thing about older people...i. e. anyone over the age of 30. I know, I know, I'll be that old someday but it's a weird phobia I have. I know it's silly because I think anyone aged 40 is ancient.

I'm  ancient.

Really? Because your avatar has you looking like a spry young girl.

She's lying. She's really a 23 yo self made multi millionaire who divides her time between here and biomedical engineering research, negotiating long term peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia and ending static cling.

Now if she could invent a ray gun to zap drivers that drive slow in the fast lane would be radical.

On tomorrow's to do list.

What was on today's list?

Where's Victoria island?

Well NASA said it was a little more than 200 light years from the moon as the crow flies.

The cah is ready, Annie.



Oh Paul, whot's the meaning of loife?





[size=200]WHY THE FUCK IS 'NEIGHBOURS' BEING BROADCAST HERE?[/size]





And I even have basic cable.  Nobody asked for 'Neighbours.'  Just because we are part of commonwealth, does not mean we want 'Neighbours.'



'Neighbours' is the answer to a question that nobody asked.



Damn Australians and their trash infiltrating our TV's.

I hate that too. I used to have that problem as well until I solved it. What I did was construct a broadcast signal right to my brain, doing away with the bulky TV casing.



All one has to do is fashion some tin foil cap that is pointy, preferably the point is pointing straight up. Next, put tin foil cap one ones head. Now, find an industrial submarine battery, you can usually find these at your local Walmart. Next, find the negative and positive ports. Now, wrap barbed wire around your tin foil cap and attach the ends to the submarine battery. Next, find 3 oz of plutonium, you can get this at any local place that sells gyros. Swallow the plutonium and voila! You should only be getting the programs you want, except the occasional messages from space aliens, but you can use your call block to block them.

I believe methane is the most potently warming greenhouse gas.

I do believe methane is derived mainly from pigs and cows. Why are you now blaming camels for greenhouse gases? What if a camel blamed you for the Gulf War?

I'm sorry to those that intend to vote for the NDP in October. People have their reasons for voting for whatever party they wish. Maybe there are planks or their platform you think will be beneficial to the nation. But, I work in the financial services industry. My job is to make sure your money is working for you. Unfortunately, an NDP victory will make my job more difficult.



The bulk of the TSX is made of financials/banking and resource companies. Financials and energy together account for almost 60 per cent, and important sectors such as health care, tech and consumer staples are under 5 per cent. The NDP has an ideological bias against resource extraction even though that has made Canada the envy of the world. There was a negative market reaction to the NDP victory in Alberta. There will be an even bigger and longer one if the NDP wins federally in October. It doesn't help that September and October are the most volatile months for the markets.



1. If you are among the millions of Canadians who has TFSA, you know it must be invested in Canadian companies. However, there are so many ways around that. If you purchase it through your Canadian bank and they put Apple shares in your portfolio that counts as Canadian content.



2. Take as little risk as possible. I have a client that has a conservative growth mutual fund that he bought in September that has earned over 2% since then. It is only 30% Canadian content. The US market being much more diverse than any other in the world helps insulate Canadian investors from a slide in resources.



3. Bonds are a safer bet. Bonds are debt as opposed to stocks which are equity. You don't share in the profits, but you get your principal plus interest. There has been a divestment from Canadian bonds recently, but it  was entirely due to provinces.  Although rates are low, they are a hedge against the stock market declines.



4. If you buy bank stocks do it before earnings reports come out.



5.Obviously avoid index funds. There is an ETF called Vanguard FTSE Canada All Cap Index ETF (VCN). Exposure to smaller stocks adds to volatility, but also offers the potential for higher returns than a portfolio focused only on blue chips.



6.  Sector Diversification--Canadian dividend funds are laced with bank stocks. If you own one of them and a Canadian equity fund, you've maxed out on financials. I'm not being bearish on bank stocks, it's just a reminder to diversify sensibly. Canadian banks have delivered great returns over the long term though.



7. Don't gamble--double-up or double-down ETF that happens to be moving are RISKY. This gambling, not prudent investing.



We will get through this, but the markets do not like the unknown. An NDP government is a big unknown. Investing in Canada under such a scenario will require greater knowledge than in the past.

Well said! So if I wanted to "gamble" on the volatile market, could I use Monopoly money? If not, could I use my own Crypto Currency called, the "LanceForgetYou Coin"?

Another way to save on gas would be to find an oil lamp. Rub it briskly, and if a genie pops out you could ask him for your very own solar powered spaceship, that can fit in your pocket. Why ask for a pocket sized spaceship? Imagine your family and coworkers see you arriving in a solar powered spaceship, that would be ridiculous!
