    Latest Advice from My Stockbroker


    I asked my stockbroker what I should be buying.

    He said, "If Trump remains in office much longer then canned goods a generator, water and ammunition are a good buy".

    Now I Know Where Chickpeas Come from

    A young lawyer attended a seminar on motivation and the benefit of several revenue streams. Inspired by the talk the young lawyer decided to try his hand at part-time poultry farming to earn some extra income. To start the poultry farm he bought his first lot of one hundred chickens.

    A month later he returned to the dealer for another hundred chickens because all of the first lot had died.

    Another month went by and the young lawyer returned again for another hundred chickens because the second lot had also died.

    The chicken salesman was very alarmed at the new farmer's string of bad luck; besides if word got around town, others might think the quality of his chickens was poor and that would be disastrous for business. So he asked the part-time farmer, "So do you think you are having a string of bad luck or just what seems to be your problem"?

    "I think I now have a sense of where I'm going wrong", said the young lawyer and now nearly a full-time farmer. "I think I might be planting my chickens just a little bit too deep".

    A tired salesman pulls into a hotel around midnight.

    Exhausted after a long day's trip he asks the clerk for a single room. As the clerk fills out the paperwork, the salesman notices a gorgeous woman sitting in the lobby. He tells the clerk to wait while he disappears into the lobby. After a minute he comes back, with the girl on his arm.

    Lying to the hotel clerk, he says, "Fancy meeting my 'wife' here. I'll need a double room for the night".

    The next morning, he comes to settle his bill and finds the amount to be over $3000.

    "What's the meaning of this" he yells at the clerk? "I've only been here for one night"!

    "Yes", says the clerk, "but your 'wife' has been here for three weeks"!

        Re: 3 Mar

        MAE ALL...

        Mick...good luck with detecting today. I'm so glad Julie got her mom's bracket back. I bet she was relieved. Although it's still -4F out there it isn't bitterly cold, no wind. Looks like are temps are going to turn around starting tomorrow. Here's hoping.

        Sam...I'm still trying to figure out the chickpeas joke. Hope the fields dry up so you can get your plat done on time.

        Pauly...oh that's rough. Good plan on just chilling out today.

        Quick trip to the grocery store and now pulling a Pauly and chilling. Shout out to the rest of the gang. Have a good one....:smile:PPQP

          Re: 3 Mar

          Hello all -

          Mick, I hope it was a good day of detecting! PPQ, goes to hear about the meeting, and even more glad that the weather seems it's turning a rich warmer... yay! Lav, you'll definite,y have to stock up if those boys keep coming over! Are you ready for tonight's snow? Let's hope it isn't much. Pauly, I have real sensitivities to most of those shakes,.. it might not be the pea protein; could be one of the emulsifiers or other stuff - I also can't deal with the prebiotics that they put in - the only one I can use is Amazing Grass... suits me fine. So sorry you were sick - hope you are better. Sam, so much rain, uuugh, sorry. Hope it dries out eventually... I hear ya on the taxes.

          Since it was nearly 40 today and sunny, I dug into (literally) some of the outside work... 3 hours of fast work in the snow, but I think I made good progress... it doesn't look so derelict now! But I am tired!!! Glad I got it in ahead of the snow and single digits that will be coming now for the next days...basement is almost picture perfect... but still have office boxes to relocate (so the closet can actually be seen as a closet... ah well.
          Hello to SK, Pie, and Det - hoping all is well...
          Take care all!

              Good evening Abbers,

              Yes sireeee it's snowing like crazy out there & has been for at least 5 hours. Looks like this is going to be a big storm, swell.
              My doctor's office just called & canceled my 8:30 am appointment, fine with me

              Mick, wow, so glad to hear Julie found the bracelet. There are still a few good people left in the world.
              So did you get out to find any good stuff today?

              Sam, we're getting all snow, no rain. Guess it doesn't matter in the long run because it all turns into mud, right?
              Getting ready for the Irish craziness - better them than us!!!!

              Pauly, I have had difficulties with protein shakes off & on. I used the pea protein for several years & suddenly it didn't agree with me. I switched over to Dr Myers animal protein shakes & they ended up being disagreeable too. I don't know what's up with all that? Did your food sensitivity test show anything?
              For now I'm sticking with a smear of my homemade almond butter on wholegrain toast

              PQ, I swear it looks like Canada outside my house right now, haha!!!
              I hope you are having a nice evening.

              Cyn, congrats to you getting all that outside work done, good job!
              Take a breather once in a while. You're making me fell like a real slouch, LOL

              Hello to SK & Pie, hope you are both well.
              Hey Det, what's up with you?

              Well, have a nice night everyone.

                Mae everybody, Mick meant to say that's great Julie got the bracelet back! Jewelry is so sentimental to me regardless if its valuable or not,which I'm sure the bracelet was,Lav,ugh I never want to feel like that again,I only do the protein shakes for the amino acids and as a bridge between breakfast and lunch but it won't be that one again,food sensitivity didn't show anything along those lines,PQ,last night was chicken noodle soup in the crockpot,tonight is ravioli Sam,hope your weekend was good,waves to everyone,woke up late so scrambling a bit! Have a great BF Monday!

                  Re: 3 Mar

                  Happy unhung Monday ABeroooos!

                  slightly behind here and catching up.....

                  PPQ, some really challenging weather up there still I see. i think I'd be having super hot curries for breakfast.

                  Pauly, have you tried an all natural whey protein that is not sweetened with malitol or other sugar-alcohol sweeteners?
                  That is universally the best tolerated complete protein I'm aware of. i use one from Jarrow Formulations and while it's not
                  100% perfect ingredients-wise it's pretty darn good.

                  Mick, any treasures from the weekend?

                  my lunch with friend the other day went really well and while he considered ordering wine he decided not to while I was there
                  which was A OK by me.

                  Sat was a good combo of things for me... went to gym, then Refuge class, then a few of us went to a sports bar and watched the
                  UFC.

                  SK, you're seeing a speciality for the vertigo/ear connection?

                  Mick, that's a lovely reminder that altruism is still alive and well.

                  Lav, sounds like hunkering-down is the right call. I'll score an IP for sure
                  after i get moved into a place with space to put it.

                  weather here got nice and sunny again and will be this week too.

                  this is going to be a bit of a crazy month as i need to move out ASAP. everythings fine here but the house sold so I gotta
                  find a rental. Sure hope my insurance licensing gets approved very quickly for work... going to be rough to settle a rental
                  contract with no steady paycheck. ack!

                  off to help my uncle run a load to the dump. many more loads to follow I'm sure. isn't moving fun? weeeeeeeeee

                  be well loves

                    Re: 3 Mar

                    MAE, Mick, thank goodness an honest person found it. I would have been broken hearted too, it sounds so precious.

                    Yes, Det I am seeing an ENT. You are spending your time wisely and having fun. Yay to that.

                    Cyn, that was a quick sale! You do have some support there and you have done this many times. Moving does suck.

                    Lav, I love the snow when it's pristine. Hate when it turns to brown slush. Will you get shovelled out? Pics of the chicks are so sweet.

                    Pauly, I was wondering what the allergies testing showed. Avoiding what's bad for will give you better days.

                    PPQ, glad you had a chill day.

                    Sam, you are dealing with two evils; mud and taxes. I would hate the combination. Hope the fiddling can distract you.

                    DDtook my car key which has me p.o'. I need to deliver my rent check and pick up a parcel, not to drive to Mexico!

                    See you later.

                        MAE ALL...

                        Lav...No snow again today, thanks for taking that off our hands. We're slowly starting to warm up, actually made it up to 20F today.

                        Pauly...I could go for ravioli tonight but alas it's probably breakfast for me.

                        Det...it does sound like you're going to have a crazy month. So glad you're feeling so strong in your quit, I know you can handle it.

                        SK...I hope your ENT can get things sorted out for you.

                        Mick...nice that you actually found something after heading out in that weather. Happy Bday to Julie.

                        The day just flew by. Nice not having the boss around, he's not due in till Thursday, so I played cards this afternoon. Off to figure out my dinner and then relax. Have a good evening all...:smile:PPQP

                          Re: 3 Mar

                          Good evening Abbers,

                          Our big snowstorm turned into a rainstorm sometime overnight so there was much less snow to deal with today, yay!
                          A young neighbor plowed our driveway because he's a nice guy
                          My morning doc appointment was switched to the afternoon so I was happy about that.

                          Mick, Happy Birthday to Julie, hope you had a nice dinner out.

                          Det, is there any chance of finding a temporary spot to park yourself for a bit? Once you are settled with work then you could go find a rental you like.
                          You will love finding geeky things to do with the IP ~ I can envision that now, haha!!

                          SK, when are you seeing the ENT? I hope it's soon so you can get back to driving yourself where you need to go.
                          The chicks are doing well, I'm sure they have doubled in size in just a week's time.

                          Hello to PQ, hope it's warming up a bit for you.

                          Hello Cyn, did you get any snow from this last storm?

                          Hello to Pie & Sam, hope you are both well.

                          Pauly, I have found that I have to keep switching foods if I want to avoid problems. Some days I just don't know what to eat because I feel good & don't want to mess myself up, ha ha! Sounds weird but it's the honest truth.

                          Have a nice night everyone!

                            Mick, hope you have a stellar Bday tea with the Mrs. Can't wait to see the coin.

                            Lav, what nice neighbors! yes I'm sure I'll be doing strange things with the IP. like using it to get
                            stains out of socks. I'm sure it can do that....

                            yes, thought about moving the trailer to a park but I'm thinking I can swing this in one gymnastic leap.
                            we'll see soon anyhoo.

                            Food can be tricky indeed. When I can afford it I'm getting both my DNA and microbiome sequenced. So
                            much these tests can show us now including some very serious polymorphisms for foods that we wouldn't
                            suspect as problematic.

                            PPQ... you played cards at work? that rocks! LOL

                            well, had a lovely session at the gym and a lovely meditation at the Shaolin kung fu school (they do lots of neat things there).

                            I'm thinking an early zonk-out is in order.

                              “I’ve got no complaints.” I replied

                              Now he’s told me he’s laying me off.

                              Apparently, that wasn’t the answer to give when you work in a complaints dept.

                              Bad news: My wife took the wrong medication today.

                              Good news: She's protected from heartworms & fleas for the next three months.

                              “Very soon!” replied the fortune teller. “Very soon!”

                              I was delivering a pallet of knives to this factory. Warehouse lad says to me he'll go and get the forklift.
