This is interesting.  We have extensive subject continuation going on here.  I guess weather is the one thing that BT members can stay focused on. :D

[LedZepMan]

your face is one of those too

[Locke]

I highly doubt it.

[LedZepMan]

gotta love the snow. Its downright hot out this week. 30 degrees on average.

[Al Jenn Mael]

60/45 degrees here, no snow in sight. Just mud everywhere :(

[Ticondrius]

I miss snow....badly.  Oh, hey!  Vanion!  Want to trade homes?

[Vanion]

lol dude, you wouldn't be able to afford the property taxes on my house  ;)

 

And, as for winter....

 

See the sig.... Ya.

[Locke]

Good sig.

 

I hate the cold, but I was still the last kid in school to switch from shorts to pants.  I still go outside in a t-shirt occasionally.

[LedZepMan]

pfft, i work outside in thirty below plus............wimps

[Vanion]

I made millions and retired so I'd never have to work in 30 below temperatures.

 

See what happens when you plan ahead?

 

You get to sit on your ass all day and be bored in your boxers!

[LedZepMan]

i is not smart enough to do that.

[Locke]

*points out*

[LedZepMan]

how exactly did you do that Van.......

[Vanion]

Started very young lol

 

Would always give my money to my father and he'd invest it in stocks that I would pick out. They did well for the most part. Buying into hardware and software companies, petrol and mineral exploration companies mostly.

 

I owned stock in Microsoft for quite some time, until I discovered that they are the Devil, at which point I sold my stock and invested elsewhere.

 

I made a ton of money through the stock market, then when I got older and after University, I started my own company (I was still pretty young at this point. 18 when I started it)

 

Then I sold my company for a very large chunk of coin a few years ago and retired lol

 

See, I didn't want to spend my whole life working. So, I worked my ass off and built something valuable. I had good employees, which played a big part in my success. I treated them well, and they worked hard for me in return. It's just good business. When I sold the company, I gave them all a cut too. They helped me build it up, so it was only fair.

[Locke]

.....Nice....

[LedZepMan]

must have have a very different education than i did lol.

 

But thats awesome man. I wish i had the smarts to do that. I have no idea about anything to do witht the stock market.

 

 

now i feel like a tool

[Vanion]

I would read quite a bit as a child. I learned to read by having my father read the newspaper to me every morning, and I would follow along as he'd read, or try to read it myself and he'd help me out when I got stuck on words.

 

He liked reading the financial section and I always had a lot of questions, so he explained how the stock market worked. I just have a good eye for picking stocks. My father maintains that I should have been a Stock Broker lol

 

My education in university was pretty extensive though. I have a number of degrees from different schools and in different areas of study. My Masters in Business Administration is still the most helpful though. It was worth almost having a nervous breakdown in an accelerated program to get it faster lol

 

The work load almost killed me. I was doing multiple Masters Degrees simultaneously. I don't recommend it to anyone. Like I said. Almost had a breakdown lol

[Al Jenn Mael]

And did the classes teach you much? Or is it all for that piece of paper? Extracurricular learning, especially with the professor, hmmm?
