Re: Prs to be making me less broke? Financial Follies
[ QUOTE ]
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." [/ QUOTE ] What an awesome quote. Calvin Coolidge is definitely my favorite 20th century president. Also, prs to be seeing more photoshops?

[ QUOTE ] I think pretty much anyone who isn't an egomaniacal failure has the right to "preach at you from above." [/ QUOTE ] I don't think anybody has the right to do that to anybody. Much more importantly, it's not particularly practical. However, it can be unfairly miscategorized. Knowing something doesn't mean one is lording it. [/ QUOTE ] My post was more just poking fun at how he phrased it. Nobody is really lording over him here, just giving him solid advice that isn't really being heeded.

Sweet. You tear down the podiums and I'll start sweeping up.

Well, so far kittykat is 3-for-3 as far as going out with guys from this forum who try their hardest to alienate themselves from everyone. She's like the Tony Gwynn of internet poker forum daters.

I worked a summer in a car wash. As I was washing up my last day, I promised myself that this was going to be the last time I ever had a job description that involved sweeping up floors or taking out trash. But there's the rub. You tell yourself you've swept your last floor, then they pull you back in.
