Hocus, None of that (whatever it was) happened here at the NFBs, so I don't see any constructive reason to rehash it unless and until a problem arises here. IMHO turning positive situations into negative one and negative ones into bigger negative ones is not at all good for the NFBs. But what do I k...

Hocus you can't just leave the past alone can you. Arrete put up a nice introductory post and you take the opportunity to bring up all this old crap. I know your just responding to her statement in your own way, but I just don't see the need for the type of response you gave. This does not help us....

An "official" welcome to you Arrete! :D I spend most of my time over at Dory36s board, but had lurked over here at NFB; there are some good posts and posters over here too, so I decided to join up too. I don't know anything about songbirds, but if that is what makes you happy and now you c...

I'll ask you the same question that I asked ES, Karma. My second book is going to be about investing for early retirement. I will be including a discussion of the REHP study, and I will be explaining why the methodology used in the study is analytically invalid for purposes of determining SWRs. If ...

and remember, try to be more concise I was thinking over your post from yesterday when I was at Mass this morning (I should have been concentrating on what the priest was saying, but you know). The one part I didn't agree with is that you said that I need to be more concise if I want people to read...

I had read that post and did not really feel like I had much to contribute since I never worked for mega-corp America. But I did just now post a little blerb about my past work experience that made me realize I didn't want any part of it. Different strokes for different folks! and remember, try to b...

Hocus, a piece of friendly advice: If you want people to read your posts (and I have enjoyed reading many of your non-swr posts in the past Smile ), try to make them more concise. When I saw the length of that last post I went straight to the last paragraph. 8) According to that paragraph, we are go...

Vacation from FIRE? Man you live a rough life! 8) Yes. He does. Along these lines, what does a dog do on its day off? Have fun. John R. John, you bring up a great point. I guess you only need a day off when you don't like what you are doing. BTW, I haven't had a day off now in almost 2 years. 8)

Thanks Ben, I was just kidding around a bit. The PMs sounds like a plan. (Right now I'm on "vacation", so have limited computer time)

Thanks for links and the information and I'll do the search (although I am lazy).
