Most of us have very advanced BS meters. They were developed to deal with Americans.

Is "high horse" your latest favorite phrase? IIRC you've used it with several posters.

 

I can understand our height may be irritating when you are riding a Shetland pony. Not in the biblical sense, I hope.

 

Happy New Year.

XRP waits for me! 

 

Same here...  But I'm starting to wonder if it will ever 'really take off'... 

 

The jump from $0.40 to >$2.00 has been great and the lining on what can only be described as a rubbish year, though I still consider myself very lucky compared to others.

Seems many members happiness is tied up politically, economically, or in good health or their relationship to gf, wife or family in general.

 

I do not believe happiness comes from friendships, but friends contributes to better social life, and also comfort.

 

I would ask the members here, what would you do to make 2025 better than 2024?

O&A more, but I think we OD'd the last 5 ish years.   Can't think of where or what to see of late, and being a small country doesn't help.

 

Got some silly ideas in my head, but once done, I'm thinking I may regret them.   Either the cost (frivolous) or may tie me down to the house, and limit my O&As, that I can't think of where to go ...

I need to google the dictionary for your terms, if you do not explain them to me?

Easy stuff ...

... O&A - out & about, exploring away from home.  Should know that on by now.

 

... OD'd ... overdosed, did too much already.    

 

If I start talkin' Philly or homie from the hood, then you're really screwed 😎

I'm quite satisfied with travelling and for me it is more about living a normal life, where we bot working, and most likely making a new company when she finely get her permanent residence certificate.  That's our plan for the next 10 years to improve our life.

So where are the cost savings coming from?

By firing all the IRS auditors with the skills required to audit the tax returns of high net worth individuals.

Overall 2024 was excellent for me.  Assets appreciated.  9 months in Thailand.  LTR-P visa issued despite having to obtain a new passport after approval.

 

The icing on the cake was Trump’s election victory.

I'm sure you'll be raising a glass Tuesday night to Joe and Kamala, who helped make 2024's massive S&P gains possible., by helping lead the recovery from the Recession the last guy left in his wake.

 

I suspect at the end of 2025, the only thing you'll be lifting toward the new guy is a middle digit.

[Walker88]

Like every year, there's good and bad. I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Life should be full of challenges. It's the only way one can test himself and discover the true extent of one's skills and talents and strength. Perfection is wildly overrated. The Paradise of various religions sounds like Hell to me. Boring.

 

I greatly enjoyed 2024. I've immunized myself from the mayhem and economic decline I expect in 2025, so I will enjoy next year, too.

Biden/Harris had nothing to with it.  Their first first two years were terrible btw.

 

That being said the modern stock market is run off emotion.  Not what any President does.  

 

The end of 2025 will mark the first year of your false predictions you have stated under the Trump administration.

[Chris Daley]

Awful.  <deleted> at work and at home.  I was taken to the depths of hell and betrayed and then plunged back into the world of the living with that knowledge.  I will never trust another living being for as long as I live.  Sitting in an office for 12 hours a day my health has continued to decline as expected.  I hate my job.

 

On a positive note I am working towards getting my masters degree.  I have found a way to increase my workout.  Now I wear a rucksack with 20 KG weights in it and 10 KG in the basket on the front of the bike.

 

I managed to avoid most of the family outings and work gatherings.

If you hate your job it means you are taking it too seriously and not having fun.

Why do you care about your job?

 

 

Try to use ASEAN forum during your job making your employer pay for your time on here

You then go to your boss and say to him you have been busy all day helping others !

 

Take more sick leave but call in 15 minutes before your due to start just to be a C*t , particularly do this on big event days eg NYE ,  bragging to others  how you can't wait to start work then call in sick at the last minute to be a C*t

"Don't come the raw prawn " apparently 

According to google "don't try and put it over me" !

Back to knocking Americans again?

 

And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They’d probably put my head in a guillotine
But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only...
