  1. it was for a brief time, though, and then wham, media went from 4 vhf channels and 2 uhf channels to 24hr. blahblahblah 14 million channels and tracy watches.
  2. a fortunate and honest man. i have toilet paper, so maybe we can do business.
  3. you just had to spoil this thread, didn't you.........
  4. thank you, and to be clear, i was serious. when i saw the picture and the "popkulture" name, i thought hmmmmm, this person knows about dobie, because it was certainly pop kulture at the time, not to mention the comics. your take on the show is spot on, and we have to remember that maynard was the draw. everybody ever had a maynard friend.
  5. what is the best way to cook them or wear them? does the mortgage company or rental property owner accept them as payment?
  6. don't feel bad, i thought just now you were talking about the gilligans island guy. i know less than you. i sort of miss h&c guy.
  7. considering that playboy will be issuing the last printed edition, that tells us something. maybe marvel or dc or both can continue this 66 year old tradition, the highway of printed art that inspired every young boy to expand into comics since 1953. fast cars and fast women.
  8. the picture you use, is it dobie gillis? it looks like it. i know it is not maynard krebs.
  9. i don't get it. the link is to a forbes advertisement dated 25 feb. 2020. there is no mention of recession, etc. or is it just a reference that forbes predicted a recession?
  10. it will work out if she is the one. every setback has a bright side if you are determined. as an example, this means you are still 2 separate persons for the purpose of government accounting, so you would each get a cheese check. if you were married 5 weeks from now, you may have been only getting one check, because they are dancing around and saying they might not get the cheese checks out until late april, and one of the sticking points is 1 or more checks to married couples
  11. you re definitely going to be weeded. trust me.
  12. i can imagine the talent he has, to be that good. he would make a great counselor with minimal training, and be able to help a lot of people. he would be very good at risk calculation, and actuarial services. a lot of large companies employ such persons with pro poker talent on his scale, and actively look for persons with his skill. insurance companies definitely prefer that kind of skill, because he knows how to decipher personalities, crunch numbers in his head, cut thru the risk numbers to the real question of should we or shouldn't we. there is also the opportunity to write, both immediately via blogs or paper media and in the long term, books i envy his natural ability.
  13. maybe. my advice is just keep saving as best you can, and use disposable income wisely. and, follow delekkerste for market navigation.
  14. 1 million is not the basis. the numbers are averaged. the assumptions that 1 million is the target for heavily invested is incorrect. a family grosses, say, 36k a year. if that family has 6-8k in investments, that is heavily invested for that family.
  15. it was not a website. in fact, most blahblah financial websites get their information from u.s. govt. sources, which is what the numbers stated are.
  16. i believe he is correct. using 2019 figures, the top 10% of americans owned an average of 969,000 in stock. the next 40% owned an average of 132,000. the bottom half owned an average of 54,000. 62% of american households are invested.
