Good Morning!

[Shaz51]

Hello @StuF , @Historylover , @tonys @TAB , @SmilingGecko , @Appleblossom , @saturnzoon , @Dimity , @tyme , @Jacques 

Thank you for the tags my friends ❤️ 

[tyme]

Hope you are okay @Shaz51 . We haven't seen you around as much lately. I know you've had a lot going on. Are you okay?

[Shaz51]

Ohh @tyme 

One step at a time here My awesome friend 

I have been through soo many different emotions lately and with doctors and specialists and the mental health team 

No income for the last 8 weeks , , paper work trail, new medications ect 

Love getting tags from all my friends here,  trying to get back a balance 🙃

Now thats better @SmilingGecko ..   Your Quals..  Let me polish that one up a bit,  straiten your tie.

Now go out there and wear them,  head held high,   with pride.     Always remember this.   My brain surgeon  can go home and grow tomatoes in the yard.   told me himself..  he does.

I  cant come here to the hospital and do brain surgery..!

High @Historylover .   Have you noticed just how often we see the words ,  regret and grief on these forums.      

Unlike the bitcoins and bonds ,   Regret and grief have little value hey.

Can't sell them, swap em,    damn things just won't accrue.      I stopped investing in these,   long ago.

I've profited ever since. 

Sure,    I recall and I don't forget that  which hurt me,  but only so I don't repeat the same mistakes  over n over.   

Ahh.   You guys know all this anyway,  and I'm getting an economics degree reading your posts.

Investing wisely in ourselves seems to help the bottom line across all our investments hey.

Happy bitcoining you pair.

You underestimate, by far, your good self, @tonys, but thank you for the compliment. Have a good day. 

[Historylover]

I'll get the book when it is available, @SmilingGecko.

I'd like to play Devil's Advocate here for a moment. Don't you think those 'celebrities' seen on television are being paid for their endorsements? There's no other reason to bring up the subject of their private money management practices, surely. And who knows how it has panned out in the longer term if they were sincere.

I'm no financial wizard but how do you have a global currency when some countries' currencies have so little value? Every country is so different. I can't see how or why it would work better, but maybe that's just my ignorance.

Just making sure you have thought of everything.

I'm going to track down that video now and see what I think of it.

[Historylover]

How's the grandbaby, @Shaz51 ?! I hope you're doing alright.......

[Historylover]

I think libraries can also order (buy) books for you and therefore also for their collection, @SmilingGecko. If you know what you want, it can save a lot of money. I've been buying a few books of late, but not enjoying reading them, unfortunately. It's just not the way my brain works. I'm an observer and discusser.

I sat down to read my Psychology textbook cover to cover in recent days. Psychology sure is over-rated; psychiatry, too, in my opinion. I'm tossing up whether to bin it.

University can be very damaging to your sense of self if you're outspoken as it can cost you marks and your enthusiasm. They are just creating clones of themselves.

Hiya @Shaz51 !

Good to see you! How are you?

I probably haven't been tagging you enough, but have been wondering how you are

[tonys]

Thanks @Historylover .   @SmilingGecko   I role over and wake up next to me everyday.    Yikes..!                lol

My only talent,  .  .  .  thats ever yielded anything is knowing talent when I see it,   Smart,  educated,

people. I'm pragmatic,   and know my considerable limitations.  A one finger typist.  who struggles even with 'spell check'    I know this is hard to believe,  but I found Sane when I googled Free dating sites for disabled folks..  and well,  I just liked the furniture and stayed. Yep,  you heard right,,  a freeloader.   It was my first experience using a computor and I drove Sane nuts with constant questions..        I am happy,  but I am realistic.  Me having fun here  is not what looks after my business.    Its me knowing my limits,  and finding people that Don't have my limitations .   

Fact is, the world,  and I,   can't survive without the things education delivers.  You   folk.

If I had the  education  and skills some people on here have,  coupled to my attitude. I'd be a listed stock exchange.

I wouldn't just be happy...     I'd  be  ecstatic.        You got it,     be proud of it.   Use it.

                      Have a beautiful day  everyone.                                                                       tonys
