  10. Everythings good now. Tuesday will be the last day of moarning. Pop's will make his last Port'o Call. I think I will be traveling to SD more often. Its too expensive to live anywhere near there but it seems to be a short distance from Tucson or Pheonix as compared to the distance from east Texas.

  11. I can get to SD in about 5 1/2 hours from my house just outside Phoenix.

    I miss SD..I loved it there...it was just too expensive to stay there when I retired.

  12. Thats what I'm talking about. Our old home there in IB was originally 7k. now you cant touch the same home for less than 499.k . And its all a slum now !!!!!

  14. The financial news programs are saying the housing market will hit bottom and level out. No speculation on when that will occur, 1-2 years ? anybodies guess . But it doesnt help things if democrates take the whitehouse and continue with thier ignore problems at home and send support abroad. Thats just plain wrong on all levels.

  15. I think the worst thing they could do is bail people out

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2008/03/30 @ 12:55 PM — (Reply)

  16. I don't think "speculators" or those with 2nd homes should be bailed out. I think those who had some initially low adjustables should be offered the option by the lender to cap out at 6% or let the lender have the house. If they can't afford 65 they were gready when they bought the house and don't deserve my charity. The banks made the profits and should take the losses. Not the taxpayers. Not me. Not you.

  17. Are you going to fly in for the Ron Paul rally on June 21 EB? I sure hope so. Can you imagine poor innocent Barry and I trying to cope with renegades like Dugg and Mos on our own. HELP !!

    Comment by Ed— 2008/03/30 @ 01:31 PM — (Reply)

  18. Damn ED, Thats awfully profound of you to say ! Do you come by it naturally ? Or do you study ? Cause I'm guessing you to be good enough to count cards in Vegas ?

    Comment by jim— 2008/03/30 @ 03:52 PM — (Reply)

  19. Hey Jim, don't kid yourself. You would give Ed a good run for his money and run rings around Dugg. Mos however would be a huge challenge for anybody.

    Really Jim? That's great. I'll feel better knowing that a voice of reason will be present.

  20. The bird feeder option seems to make sense.

    Comment by jim— 2008/04/02 @ 01:32 PM — (Reply)

  21. Not the taxpayers. Not me. Not you.

    of course this is the main rub I have but it also bothers me that people seem to have a hard time with reading...to claim ignorance when they signed on the dotted line is in my opinion not worthy of bailing out either



    Can you imagine poor innocent Barry and I trying to cope with renegades like Dugg and Mos on our own


    I'm afraid you're on your own there Ed

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2008/03/30 @ 03:19 PM — (Reply)

  22. It appears that you, McCain, Ed and I agree on the alleged mortgage crisis EB. What the hell has happened to personal responsibility EB?

    Hey just a minute...you wouldn't dare leave me alone in the clutches of the totally unpredictable and lawless of Dugg, Ed and Mos. It's possible that once in the hands of that crew, I might never be seen again. How would Mrs. G. deal with THAT?

  23. have her call ME BG.

  26. if the market is to do as expected, Bottom out that is.

  27. :grin:

    Last time I was in DC it was on a 4th of July - there was a smoke out going on and maybe a million people walking around getting obliterated. I have a distinct memory of walking up inside the Lincoln Memorial and slamming a beer right at Lincoln's feet while watching the sea of people outside as far as you could see - and realizing i was the only person inside the thing.

    As long as no fake RP supporters start a riot to give them an excuse - they shouldn't have to bust out the sound weapons. But I wouldn't put anything past THEM - specially while they have all the patriots together in one spot:wink:

  28. hey, dugg..what's a 'smoke out'..?

    Comment by z— 2008/03/30 @ 05:41 PM — (Reply)

  29. It was a couple thousand people smoking weed and calling for legalization. Cops stood around them all in a circle and randomly grabbed one near the edge every so often and threw them in a paddy wagon. I just passed through that, of course, on my way to the fireworks.

    Comment by Dugg— 2008/03/30 @ 05:44 PM — (Reply)

  30. Thanks, Dugg...by the way, did you breathe REEEEAL DEEEEEPLY as you passed through?
    My sis took her two teenaged sons to a FooFighters concert 2 weeks ago and they had to sit in the nose bleed section. She and her husband had to ask the kids not to breathe too deeply!!

    Comment by Z— 2008/03/31 @ 10:41 AM — (Reply)

  31. foo fighters, huh?
    Did you know Dave Grohl was a big Ron Paul revolutionary? There trying to get them to show at the RP march. Don't know if they will.

  32. I didn't inhale:lol:

  33. "HUMMMMMM A SMOKE OUT" ..... "HEY MOS ....WAIT FOR ME" !!!!!

  34. Maybe Bush will show up.
    Did you ever see Oliver Stone's Nixon - where Nixon showed up incognito at the Lincoln Memorial late at night at started asking the hippies hanging around why they hated him so much?
    Bush shows up at the smoke out wearing a mask of himself. That would be a trip.

    Comment by aza spade— 2008/03/31 @ 05:26 AM — (Reply)

  38. So you jokers intend to lure an innocent guy like me into a drugfess under the thinly veiled guise of a waste of time RP march?

    Comment by Ed— 2008/03/31 @ 03:13 PM — (Reply)

  39. How long have you been "INNOCENT" this time ....Ed ????

    Comment by aza spade— 2008/03/31 @ 04:38 PM — (Reply)

  40. Relax, Ed. I don't think there's a smoke out scheduled this time - but you never know - we could luck out.
