27406. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 5:48:20 PM PP,
This is all good clean fun. No worries. 27407. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 5:50:08 PM And enjoy your family, who I know was always important to you. 27408. arkymalarky - 6/30/2013 5:52:11 PM So do I PP. In fact, I imagine most of us here have other dominating interests and continue here because we enjoy it. 27409. vonKreedon - 6/30/2013 6:03:55 PM Reid turned twenty yesterday. His transition from being a teen seems to have more emotional effect on me than on him.
He's also transferred from Fresno to University of Portland, as UP offered him a full ride scholarship. He'll not only be playing on a strong team, but it's largely made up of guys he already knows well from the PNW Juniors circuit, and he'll be just three hours drive from home! We are all very happy. 27410. judithathome - 6/30/2013 6:06:40 PM It's almost like reading CalGal...I would say the male version but I think she's taught him too well. 27411. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 6:08:28 PM Oh, Judith, a gender insult. I didn't know you had it in you. 27412. judithathome - 6/30/2013 6:10:14 PM Granted, not up to you standards but.... 27413. arkymalarky - 6/30/2013 6:16:48 PM That is so great VK! 27414. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 6:17:40 PM Well, it's nearly six o'clock Monday morning, July 1st, in New Zealand, and still no word from Alistair.
Our five-year bet is officially over. It was a comprehensive loss for the Kiwi.
1500 euros today can be exchanged for 1951 dollars and 74 cents as of this moment, using my Yahoo ! Finance currency converter.
But in the interest of not quibbling about whose exchange rate we use, or when July 1st began, I'm lowering the amount owed to $1900.
That's a more than a $51 discount, Alistair ! 27415. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 6:23:53 PM Does Concerned still post here or have you finally chased your last conservative out of the forum? 27416. judithathome - 6/30/2013 6:25:05 PM What was the bet, anyhow?
Five years? At the rate my memory is fading, I'd be lucky to recall a bet made one year ago.... 27417. iiibbb - 6/30/2013 6:35:08 PM I'm fairly conservative... Just don't identify with the religious wacknuts and teabaggers that currently occupy the party. Also can't abide the unfunded wars or the assaults on personal liberty inherent to the patriot act.
They run me off.
"Conservatives" aren't conservative. 27418. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 6:37:45 PM iiibbb,
I've seen enough of you to know you're not conservative. 27419. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 6:38:19 PM Judith,
More on the bet later. Where's Concerned? 27420. judithathome - 6/30/2013 6:40:34 PM Gone. 27421. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 7:07:17 PM Physically dead? Or did you guys just torture him until he couldn't take it any longer? 27422. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 7:25:15 PM The reason I ask is because Concerned also had a bet with Alistair about some environmental/energy topic, just as I did. I believe the sum was for $100.
The last time I was here, Concerned mentioned to Alistair that he still hadn't received his money. Alistair politely, but also vaguely, responded by requesting some address information.
If Concerned was still around here, he'd be able to let me know if he ever received that money. If he still hasn't ... well, then I know that Alistair either has a serious gambling problem or a character problem. 27423. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 7:28:58 PM BTW, if Alistair had earlier emailed me to say he made a mistake and couldn't afford a $2000 bet because it took food out of the mouths of his children, I would have happily and discreetly obliged his request for complete debt forgiveness.
I have no desire to hurt his life. I just wanted to wound his liberal pride and sting his wallet. 27424. PincherMartin - 6/30/2013 7:30:40 PM But as of today, Alistair owes The Perfect World a $1900 subscription in my name. 27425. judithathome - 6/30/2013 7:50:27 PM What on earth could be the need of $1900 by that site?
I thought the "owner" was making money hand over fist by having ads there...
