I'm torn as I've always believed in delayed gratification, but you can't spend it if you're dead.


I brought my mother all the groceries she told me she needed tonight. As I was leaving tonight she came out of her bedroom to tell me she'll be needing milk tomorrow. Holy $#!+ she just doesn't get it! :/\\!! I am the sacrificial anode.

I'm pretty sure I don't qualify, but that isn't a big problem. :up:
I get a basic subsistence pension from the VA and I'm pretty cheap. :D

The latter being a more likely scenario, since I do have connections to the supply of such goods.


I have already used the connections I have to benefit some local essential personnel. And I would like to point out that I am one of those "deplorable" people who oppose big government. So, no matter how some choose to caricature us, it remains a fact that those who financially benefit the most from capitalism are also the biggest contributors to charitable causes.

That is a noble attitude to have. :up:

Well I'll certainly not qualify for anything so I'd be most appreciative if you'd add me to your list of worthy causes :03:

Not surprising; I spent a summer in Central America and the paper money in the country, if you looked carefully, had the imprint of the engravers and printers: Jefferies Banknote, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA...

I have never had the chance to hold an American paper money. I can't remember it.

I was, until ½-1 year back 100 % sure that the Danish money was produced in Denmark, until I was told in a money program on Danish tv, it wasn't so.

Well i would have spent the whole lot on vital shopping and give the goods away to those whom need it.

If Trump would like to test my comment feel free and send me the money. Of course it would be spent on needy folk here in the Uk.

You'll just spend it on fishnchips:Kaleun_Wink:.
Wait, that's a great idea, I'll take Steed and Bonny Lad Buna out for a pint and fishnchips.
