  1. comment all you want... surely that will move the markets as you like - - or maybe not
  2. oh my, 2009 - things do and will change..
  3. There is never much 'explaining' that can be done on small moves in short periods of time... the line up and down is rarely straight...
  4. goals, choices, have all been fluid to me as my life changes and I change so do my wants and goals...
  5. much of that depends on your expectations eh? just like in marriage
  6. there is a virus going around that we cannot and are not sure how to handle... probably nobody has all the answers at this point as the virus grows more dangerous... putting on a mask, avoiding crowds, seem like logical responses to an airborne easily contagious virus and yet many people go against that. When the spreading gets out of control, trying a lockdown makes sense... unfortunately business as usual is killing many and making many others sick. We 'mostly' self impose a limited lockdown, staying home.. it seems a wiser course than business as usual.. in some places people refuse a vaccine... then they get sick and infect others... that also does not sound reasonable. Imagine if that were the attitude w/polio and smallpox??? I am fortunate and my family is cautious and we do not need to go out and make a living. We help some others who are not as fortunate... good luck to you and stay safe...
  7. well, at least for me, that would answer your question abt why people are afraid of these services...
  8. Because we don't know what it is, what it offers, how it works etc... how much and what content is offered?? Is it a streaming service? etc... I see mentions but not even an advertisement to tell me what it is... what equipment is needed and where the person is - do they sell and install? Things like, 'I have room on my server' mean absolutely nothing to a daily computer using novice like me... I am not even sure what that means? I have an internet service provider, I guess that is an ISP - a well known brand... they bring the internet into my house and if there is a problem they send people here to fix things.. That is not only fear but having no idea why I might want it... it ain't easy to sell a "Frbxtz" to someone who has no idea what it is... or why they might want it...
  9. If that were true, and anyone could do it... why wouldn't they hire people at 20-30 quid per hour to earn the money for themselves and they could keep the profits... just a skeptical retired bizman here..
  10. I think you have a couple of issues going on here too... one of several things I don't get abt crypto is why it does not get devalued w/each new 'invention' of a new crypto coin? I know you believe otherwise, but I do not see it as a stable investment vehicle... your choice in investments will be determined by the courage of your convictions.. you seem to be thoughtful and knowledgable enough,,, take the risk, spread the risk around.. up to you?
  11. I was contacted... wait until they find out I am not 117 years old..
  12. yes. That is what happened. A doctor came in and wanted me to have a CT scan and I said no.... That's when another doc came in to offer me a 2nd opinion...
  13. just been there... in for one thing and docs circling like sharks... spent one night and left w/4 appointment slips for follow ups w/docs who I think have no relevance to my issue... one doc wanted to keep me a 2nd night to help me rehydrate OR you can go home and drink a lot of water... !!!!
  14. Don't forget to count in the one year where the world was underwater from the weight and Thailand had near zero... credit too where credit is due
  15. Personal choice but I would add one thing... 'you think or hope or maybe even expect' you are getting Moderna in October... certainty is something of a long ago gone by.. in everything.
  16. The written test is a challenge because the English can be very poorly translated and there is no book to learn from... and then you need to get 45/50 questions correct... but you can try 2x in one day...
  17. 2 is one... I get it... get big SUV.. then other people lose life.
  18. let me know how you like it... I am listening to John Prine now and often sleep at night to Mozart They also have a pay option which allows you to download songs for free. I am beefing up a playlist and will go to pay option soon.
  19. intentionally - that is the 'up to you' portion of the response...
  20. sorry for your troubles but all too easy to believe... sometimes I think a denial is built into the system.. I tend to self-insure.
  21. 1. this little Piggy went to market... 2. 3. and this little piggy ran all the way home...
  22. me too, but I am in Thailand... does anyone know which one of the options might have a great collection of old movies... I am not into comic book superheroes and action.. I don't mind paying but want to see some sort of menu first OP - if you like music - Spotify has a free option and you can listen to almost anything ever made... and for free. It was easy to set up and the adverts are not frequent or intruding... just type in the search "60s" or "classical" or any artist you like and it will just play stuff forever..
