I had to google the name, but when I read it was "Dear Abby", I remember my mother always reading it in the paper. It is a good quote.

OK OK, I'll nuke the user when I get home. I'm getting lots more bots registering. Time to add some more antispam to my registration page I guess.

"summerfinn17 is a Spam person who..." (yes a Person!)
I get REAL people on some of my forums all the time that do this.
I have even chatted with them a few times.
These are some of the jobs that you may get to do when you get one of those "Work from Home on the web" jobs! :roll:
Adding more "spam" protection will not stop things like this, since it is a real person. Just stating something that has already been said :?:

So.... Herm.... this new retirment plan..where is this extra income coming from..........your short term memory is fading (it was all posted in this post).......Are you craving cheetos (snacks)?....Is it smokey in the room that you are in right now?........ hahahahahaha (I am joking with you..or am I)

Ahhh and no. No smoke. No drugs and all of that. Memory is shot for sure though! LOL. This is my first log in here in a few days. I had a great weekend with my wife. Went to a fun wedding and finished up a big project in my backyard almost. Things are swinging to to the good side for sure it seems right now.

Thomas Craven: (played by Mel Gibson) in the movie called Edge of Darkness said "You had better decide if you're hanging on the cross, or banging in the nails."

I know some might feel uncomfortable with it or think it is sacrilegious. But I think it could have a deep thought provoking meaning. Hate it or like it.

This is not a quote from a movie, but maybe if I put the text in quotation marks, then it can be a quote. I heard it this morning and thought that it was good and worthy to share.

Here it goes..

John Ciardi wrote "About Crows"
"The old crow is getting slow;
the young crow is not.
Of what the young crow does not know,
the old crow knows a lot.

At knowing things, the old crow is still
the young crow’s master.
What does the old crow not know?
How to go faster.

The young crow flies above, below, and rings
around the slow old crow.
What does the fast young crow not know?
WHERE TO GO."

Pretty good. Here is one that I think my mother originally told me. It stuck very well so here it is:

Don't ask the question if you can't stand the answer.

I don't recall what I may have been asking her at that time but I guess it was not that big of a deal since I can't recall.

Here is another. This one is from my older brother. We were discussing the quantity of nice things he owned and the weight he brought on himself buying them and stressing his finacial situation. He had recently bought a new house, some used cars and a used boat while raising some kids and having a non-working wife. His answer to my question which I finacially disagree with but also eespect and understand that sometimes it is right (DAVID) is as follows:

Brother, why do you put yourself at such finacial risk bying this stuff you want?

His reply:

Hermskii, sometimes you just have to say [insert "F" word here] it.

He then went on to stress that if you never take a chance to get what you want and if you only live life in financial defense worried about what may come and challenge you, you will never get anything you ever actaully want. He went on to expalin that sometimes you just have to go with the bad call and hook yourself up. He mentioned too that he has more enjoyed the things he got than not enjoyed the things he suffered for getting.

I named you David because you seem to take great care to not stress your money. I think that is the best direction to follow but I also agree with my brother that sometimes you just have to say.....well.....let's just say some times you have to say your going to do it no matter the risks.

I hope all of us get a chance to just do it anyways soon!
~Peace~
