In the past, I have been opposed to buying Bitcoin, given my feeling that its value is based on nothing (i.e., not backed by precious metals). But I happened upon a Telegram community called @Amplified_Trades When you get in touch, they will have you send some Bitcoin to them, and they will do their Binary Option thing and multiply your Bitcoin amount. It sounds like a scam, but I tried it and got a surprisingly large profit, so far. In 72 hours, my $770 input has grown to $3302. Actually, by their trading methods, they just increase the amount of BTC you have. I started with .0264 BTC, and now have .0775 BTC. If you have some money to play with, and an adventurous spirit, give it a try. I had been staying with XRP and XLM until this thing came along. I must tell you that investing in crypto hastened my divorce, but now I am my own boss. Your mileage may vary.

My deepest condolences to you, Wacka. Losing your Mom is a terrible event to go through. It sounds like you were able to be with her until nearly the end. God bless you and your family.

Does Houston still own their 2022 1st round pick, or is that among the many picks they have traded?

Roughies are green and white. Green and yellow would fit the Elks.

Did you ever have the Canadian border agents take your car apart? I was driving my Corvair to Canada with a few friends, and we were suspicious teenagers I guess. It went from "Open up the boot and the bonnet please" to taking out the seats and everything. There was nothing to be found, so they said OK you can go. Of course, you had to put your own car back together.

It would be worth transferring schools to get away from that!

Back when there were two Rough Riders teams - Ottawa had the log-riding Rough Riders, while Saskatchewan had the cattle-riding Roughriders.

Thank you so much for this heads up, Mike. In the chaos of selling a house and moving, I completely missed any CFL news. So I truly appreciate you posting this. I love the blue collar nature of the CFL. None of these guys are millionaires, they are just hard working dudes that love football.

Thank you for that assessment. So many posters here are so GD cynical it is sad. They can't have any hope for a player to develop because it's not a name they have heard of. Good Lord.

Ken, that was very cool. Thanks for sharing that part of your life. I aspire to play bass - have aspired for a long time! I particularly enjoyed Billie Jean. That is such a great bass groove. I gotta learn that one.

I remember Gazebo from listening to CFNY. They played some great music, which you could not hear on any other station.

And "Y'all come back now, ya heah?" signs when you leave the Southern Ocean?

I guess the hackers will have to request a brown paper bag full of unmarked bills, dropped off somewhere, just like in the good old days.

I have not had a garbage plate, but I look forward to visiting Rochester again and trying it.

Regulation is coming very soon. Does your crypto comply with ISO 20022? If not, you can kiss it goodbye. There is still time to download the LOBSTR wallet and invest in some Stellar network coins. It's pretty easy. But do it today. I never thought I could have a million dollars, but now I see it as a real possibility.

Neither. I believe the stock market will crash, and BTC will go to ZERO. There are 40-50 cryptos that will survive when BTC goes. Most of the 6000+ cryptos will vanish. But do your own research. Just don't ignore the conspiracy theory stuff.

Wow, that was fun!

How about this photo? Sizes look way out of proportion. I thought maybe the first couple had taken up ventriloquism.

Wow, Hapless, that was beautiful. Next time you are having a down day, put this video on and you may just have to smile. Thank you for that.

I have only been investing in crypto since Oct 2020. I started because I got what I believe was good information, researched it further, and went from there.

That is not true. I bought XRP in October 2020 for 25 cents. Today, it costs $1.70 each. That's close to 600% gain in 6 months. Not bad. Anyone can buy lots of XRP, once this SEC suit is settled. And before the suit, you could buy it in the US. Once the QFS kicks in, it should go way up in value.

If you have done enough research to know which coins will survive and thrive, then it is not gambling. If you know that a coin (XRP) will be the basis of the new banking system and is ISO 20022 compliant, then buying that coin is hardly a gamble. If you know that a coin (Bitcoin) is created by people doing hours of computing and consuming kilowatts of electricity, and is not ISO compliant, you could consider that gambling. There are 6000+ crypto coins. Only about 40-50 of them are expected to survive the coming shakeout. I am not a gambler. If I have to go to a casino, I'll use $20-30 to blow on gambling, nickel slots if I can find them! You are certainly entitled to think of crypto trading as gambling, but it is just not that simple.

This is not something that will appear on the evening news. Oddly enough, the collapse of Bitcoin (and most other cryptos) is tied to the pending collapse of the 3 Gorges Dam in China, said to be coming soon. Under the dam are CIA servers which control much of the world's Bitcoin. Sounds like a conspiracy theory, you say? Yes, but those theories are usually true. They are just not allowed on the mainstream media.

Did you know Geddy Lee's real name is Gary? His mother has a heavy Eastern European accent, so when she called him for dinner, it was "Ged-dy Ged-dy!" Soon his friends started calling him Geddy, and the name stuck. I saw that on an interview, probably Dan Rather's Big Interview show on AXS TV. I thought that was pretty funny.
