In Reply to: LOL! Victor, you crazy Russian! You are a stitch! posted by petew on June 28, 2000 at 07:25:02:
Give me some time to read it and think about it. A lunch break, perhaps.There seems to be no question, you can type faster than I can think. Does YOUR thought process run ahead of typing, or it simply reflects what your smart fingers have done on their own?
you have to know how provactive your post was for someone like me, and I love you for opening that worm-can. I wish you could see me laughing.I've been stewing on it overnight, I've had mono for the last few months and the kids have worn me out with these long summer days. I'm looking for a beach haven for a few weeks--know anything for around $3-5000/wk. in Jersey/Delaware? I hate going thru realtors.
But my basic arguement is: free trade is a nice ideal, and I suppose it can work on a small scale, for small markets, for a small time. I suppose it works for selling used high-end on the web. I guess Ebay is a kind of free market, but I haven't seen tankers of crude up for bid---not yet...
The only choice we have over things like oil is who we buy our protection from. We can buy it from organized crime syndicates like the Russian mobs; Brutal Bullies, like Sadam; cartels of sovereign nations, like OPEC; international busnessmen like the Seven Sisters, or democratic bureaucracies like the US Congress. It's a wacky combination of strange bedfellows who determine the spot price of oil. I don't like Clinton any more than the rest of them, but I do admire his guts, and my hat is off to anyone who willingly puts his tits (sorry Hillary) in the political wringer to serve the country, even if their intention is only to serve themselves. Either way, they are entertaining. God bless 'em all.
I've become a multi-millionare since Clinton took office. I lost equity during the 12 years of Regan/Bush. Who gets the credit? Bill Gates?

Pete-----I hate to sound like the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, but why not go for a REAL beach--white sand and palm trees? Airtran Philly to Tampa is $100, it's off-season and all the Canadians are gone (sorry, Nemo!) ,things are cheap, food is fabulous, culture and beauty abound....just bring the SPF 45. Plus, believe it or not, there are large Amish and Mennonite populations here, so you won't get homesick for PA!If you get restless, nothing like a late-night high-speed drive through the 'glades, dodging gators on the road!
Check www.sarasota.com. Cheers, Bill.
Hey, Pete--as one who suffered recurrent mono in my early years, to find it transformed into that mystery plague of the late 80's, Chronic Fatigue Syndome, aka Chronic Epstein - Barr Viral Syndrome, please accept my friendly and well-meant urgings to NOT screw around with this stuff. It can shoot the hell out of your immune system and leave you weak and listless... I strongly advise you to up intake of Vitamin C... Alacer's Emergen-C drink supplements are life-savers, literally. I got to the point where I (lifetime needle-phobic) had to give myself daily B12 shots, and that helped, too. Get the Alacer C- and B-complex tabs (big-ass green jobs) and Emergen-C. They will help a lot...and it sounds as though you can afford it!!Good luck and best wishes, Bill.
yikes! I did not know that. I had Hep B at age 12, don't know how I got it, sharing needles no doubt. Ruined my summer. Then late in my freshman year I contrated a raging, classic case of mono.
I've been puzzling over this illness for two months now, treating for a cold, then alergies, then strep...went to the doctor's three times, which doubled my lifetime visits to doctors. Then one day as I'm dumping a bottle of chloroseptic down my throat, and trying to think if I know where a crack house is in my neighborhood, it occurs to me that having a sore throat for two months that does not respond to antibiotics is a classic symptom of mono. Bingo.I started on mega doses of vitamins, and I'm happy to say, that today, I feel great! Throat is still very sore, but I have my energy back.
More good news, got a call from Kris Jeter today. Jasmine and Suzy have survived the surgery, and are on their way back to me. Kris (Steve McCormack's business partner) says everything went very well, and that I will be stunned and amazed at how good they sound. They are trying to get me to buy some Vans Evers power cords.
More good news, got my Power Plant 300 back from PS Audio. I was correct, both transformers were bad (shakey). I tried the new unit without load and it's quiet. Praise the Lord! The PS Audio service is the best I've ever experienced--better even than the wife's Lexus dealer (although they always give her a new Lexus to drive when they service her car--last one was one of those funky RX300's. Very weird car. I felt like I was driving a stepladder! Waiting for them to give her the GS400...oh baby!).
So I'm in a frenzy of last minute painting of the listening room, and working on some Jon Risch treatments for the sidewalls. The amps should be here next Friday. It's been over three months without the system. No wonder I got sick.
Florida is out. Have sisters in NH and Charlotte, who will probably be comming up to stay with us at the Jersey Shore for a week. It's roughly half way for each of them. Thanks for the tip though. I think the kids would love the train ride South. I'll keep that in mind. My college roomate has a business in Key Largo. Haven't seen him in...oh god, am I that old already?

I could not help but going back to analyzing this paragraph and I find it more and more disturbing.I suspect you would find my analysis amateurish and unwelcome, intrusive and patronizing perhaps, so I shall keep it to myself.
One thing for sure - you are not a liberal.
***you have to know how provactive your post was for someone like me,I suspect I do.
***and I love you for opening that worm-can. I wish you could see me laughing.
Appreciate it.

I am sure you will find somehting for $5000, don't think so for $3.

Can't say that I follow your logic well here.

Didn't like those tax cuts, hah?
