ladyslew Believe it or not, one of my best friends met her husband on the DC Metro. They worked near each other and both took the same train, so they saw each other several days a week. He spent weeks asking her out before she agreed. They have now been married 11...

ladyslew Read a book before you quote it. You were told wrong - there is no such statement in his book about putting such high taxes on small businesses!

ladyslew ladyluna, I really would like to continue our discussion after I catch up on a few things. I was out of town for way longer than I thought I would be, and so I'm way behind on everything. But I would enjoy continuing our discussion when I have the time to...

It wasn't so bad when you just got a spam email suggesting that you should accept payments from clients in the US for some company based in a foreign country, cash them, and keep 10% for your efforts. That you knew was a scam, you...

ladyslew Sorry it took so long to respond, I was out of town way longer than I thought I would be.... That is so great that you are actually selling so many via your website. It encourages me to believe that there really is a market out there. I might try some baby...

ladyslew Well, I suppose you are right that in this day and age it's hard to keep your address and such from getting out. But I have a cell phone only, no landline. It's a little harder to get a cell phone number. At least so far. Sooner or later there will be...

ladyslew Actually, the British *suspended* use of the gold standard from 1921 to 1925 due to war. In 1931 private exchange of currency for gold bullion ceased, but as in the US there was still a backing of currency with gold. They did not totally abandon the gold...

ladyslew Excuse me, but you need to go back to school and study history again. You seem to have missed the whole thing about the separation of church and state. But since I'm sure you won't do anything to further your education, I will clue you in on the definition of...

ladyslew That's a good point. Americans are going to get more surveys than anybody because companies in our country spend more money on advertising, and surveys really are about advertising - sometimes literally you watch a video of a commercial and review it. Other...

ladyslew Oh, and to further the explanation of why Nixon's action had such an impact, it wasn't until after the US went off gold by his order in 1971 that the other countries in the world went off the gold standard too. The European fiat monitary system wasn't even...

ladyslew Well I have to agree that Carter was sure no good with the economy, and I feel a bit foolish for not thinking to include him on the list. I am aware that FDR ended private possession of gold. But on a larger economic scale, the US Dollar as an investment...

ladyslew I think it's great that you want to alert people to the possibility of what looks like a real accounting position possibly being a scam. I've seen other real looking ads turn out to be money mule scams - I've been gotten with this three times, each one a...

ladyslew I think eventually the USPS will be just another package shipping service. But until then, they could probably make more money by haveing the exact same rates for everyone AND getting rid of bulk rates. For example, if a business sends 10,000 presorted...
