My first fiance was a lot like Sugar in a few aspects. She would defend her position with mighty spunk even if she was 100% wrong. I admired that spunk. One day she left the ring on the back of the toilet and I went to work on the evening shift. When I returned home all the furniture was gone - she had run off with a married doctor. That relationship lasted about four months before she was ready to move on to the next patsy. When I finally caught up to her - actually she came to me to help bury her cat DJ - for Dennis and Janice. I asked her why and she simply told me I wasn't moving fast enough economically. I was working full time and attending school full time. I was in pain for a year. She called one time wanting me to come out to Seatle - I told her to KMA. The only thing that saved me was my pride.

That's pretty cool Birch !!! There is absolutely NO DOUBT you would need a woman who has plenty of spunk !!

Well I don't want to make some blind BS generalization statement but in my experience it seems like 'women' have a much harder time acknowledging they are 'wrong'.

On the whole they have such an easy time showing 'us' that we're wrong -- it seems harder for them to see that RARE time when it's obviously on 'their part'.

Ohh Birch, Janice couldn't have known you the way she needed to until it was too late. Never in her wildest dreams would she have known how much you would have --- how carefully and consistently you would 'Invest' over the years.

If you'd gone out there to Seatle -- OMG -- you would have found the side you really did want to marry. Whew .... oh well.


You did well and got the better deal

I had the engagement ring specifically designed with three .25 carat diamonds of vvs quality and a .96 carat pidgeon blood ruby that I bought on consignment from NYC. After we buried the cat in the back yard I gave her the box the ring came with - only I had the stones demounted and gave her the setting. She seemed happy as she drove away - until I'm sure it all changed when she opened it. My one and only wife is now wearing those stones and I would have no idea of the value - but it's substantial with the appraisal. I've always told her if we are in a restaurant and get robbed - swallow all the jewelry. My wife responded by buying my wedding bad with three princess cut rubies and two princess cut diamonds.

She had some 'closure' Birch -- and it was a beautiful ending.

It says a lot for you to have burried the cat with her. Seriously.

until I'm sure it all changed when she opened it.

I think she would have taken it way better than you realize. Surely she would know the 'valuable jewels' would be gone.

It's a reminder of the time you all had something beautiful. There is no way you're going to go through all that trouble -- to give her a ring for 'marriage' -- if there wasn't some substance.

Women like that Birch -- they like it a lot !!!

My one and only wife

It's rare you hear that now a days Birch !! very rare.

is now wearing those stones and I would have no idea of the value - but it's substantial with the appraisal.

The value to her would be way beyond whatever 'value' you may think it has.

Birch we think with our brains -- (me too) -- they think with their hearts.

I've always told her if we are in a restaurant and get robbed - swallow all the jewelry. My wife responded by buying my wedding bad with three princess cut rubies and two princess cut diamonds.

Well Birch -- now this is the kind of stuff we can just float on the clouds with -- maybe take a few puffs and enjoy ourselves...


Hey Sugar -- sorry about robbing your Thread....

.....but we're just trippin'

 

[Birchtree]

She also drove away in the car I bought her. I bought the exact same bed style I had previously and then Kitty showed on the scene as my pain was ending. She used to watch me jog past her mother's house when she was visiting. Completely set me up for the preliminary meeting. The first time I saw her I was laying in my hammock with TR between my legs in my back yard reading my WSJ. She was walking her mother's two dogs - hair waving in the breeze as she bounced down the sidewalk - little did I know what was going to happen next. TR was a havanna brown cat I had. I'm reminded now that when love is fast in it usually is fast out. I'm a slow in and an even slower out.

Wow! More "I worked hard and got screwed but still came out all right stories" from you Birch? You still have to prove it? My personal opinion is that you are a cancer that has been spreading its dread on this site for a few years now. Your endless need to be relevant and appear knowledgeable drives you to your doom. All your fans are in mourning again but to tell you the truth, you add nothing. You have created a personality here that is based on flim-flam. So have I. But I'm not pretending to be credible. You have to. You've been exposed so many times it's pathetically funny. But I really believe you should be able to say what you want to here. They let you before and now their making an example of you. Your flock will hail you when you return so make sure you have your 2 scarlet bannings proudly displayed on your hood when you come back. Bearing the crosses is always better than burning them.

 

[sugarandspice]

Dang Sugar,

You just cant shut the flytrap you call a mouth, can you? The stench from your rotting gums paired up with your tobacco stained teeth and tongue should be enough to have it closed because of a HazMat condition. Leave people alone and keep it in house. In fact you should never even leave the house.

 

[Steadygain]

My personal opinion is...

Good Morning Sugar

My personal opinion is none of it matters anymore !!



I'll try to describe it as best I can what happened, but it was an experience I've never had before until yesterday.

I felt like an 'egg' that had it's shell cracked for the very first time and there was a 'Brightness and a Beauty' that shone out with such intensity I was totally overwhelmed.

I felt 'broken' Sugar -- in a way I'd never been broken before. Driving home I kept getting 'goose bumps' - despite wearing a winter coat made for 70 degrees below and having the heater turned UP !!! It's just unbelieveable how beautiful it felt.

So none of it makes any difference anymore. Hopefully I will no longer let myself get in a situation where I even remotely feel it is my place to 'correct' anyone or to get in any situation where a negative condition prevails. There is more than enough 'negative' in the world without me trying to be 'part of it'. Almost anything will be used in a manner that is corrupt or destructive and so the very best we can do is strive to be different.

I want the egg to crack -- want to experience what happened yesterday and keep experiencing it and HOPE that I can endure it. That's why I kept getting goosebumps -- it was way beyond what I'd ever known before. Awesome is the only word that comes close.

Anyway -- went 50/50 -- C/S today

Hope all is well

Your friend,
Steady

My personal opinion is that you are a cancer that has been spreading its dread on this site for a few years now.

Sugar,
This keeps flashing through my mind and I have reflected on it over and over.

FIRST -- I honestly thank you for being such a great 'therapist' and I know it's your raw and direct 'honesty' I admire so much. But that's the very reason why Birch has equally been so attractive -- because he is so openly 'raw' with his feelings.

As for the 'Cancer' part -- I have to admit it's hard not to view it that way and I believe that is equally true whenever any of us get in such a negative tanget on some person (and more over and especially a group of people).

But ya know Sugar -- deep down he's like a broken toy and what you're seeing is not 'a cancer' but simply a reflection of brokeness. I'm not saying this to make him sound 'good' - but the bulk of what he shares is 'good' because most of it (whether he is quoting someone else or not) is strongly reinforcing a Positive Market and Positive Investments.

Sugar, I too have been deeply offended by a lot of his comments and reflections YET we are equally 'a cancer' if we call him one. He's not a cancer my dear friend and nor are you. He simply sees the world in a twisted way and he has extremely 'stong views' and 'beliefs' and many of these reflect his deep and honest outlook EVEN if they are far from what is TRUE.

Well -- thank you for another great session. You're good Sugar; one of the best !!

My thread is still closed but your porch light was on - so here I am. I'm just back from another fishing exodus. That makes banishment #3 and the ice is certainly thin. It had something to do with Australian camels and light brown skinned toes. My daughter had to clue me in to what my comment actually ment. I was way off the scale on that one with the wrong intention - so please accept my apology for those offended. I had no idea and callous on my part.

I've mainly just been doing a lot of 'reflective thinking' over the past few days Birch -- and it's really good to have you back.

BIRCH - the ice is not Thin at all -- seriously -- not one person is out here chomping at the bit to get you stirred up and make you screw up. There is not ONE who wants to see you booted off and please think of this as your chance to really let people know who you are.

Most of us -- Do KNOW.

We know you're the kind of guy who is going to join on your own and when you do join you're going USMC. You're not going in to play games you're going in to fight the fight.

You don't just go with women to screw them around -- when you get married you can say many years later 'my one and only wife'. You can let everyone know that Janice ~ a woman of 4 months ~ stole your heart. You got her the best ring I could imagine...got her a car... and really gave of yourself.

You're going to 'Church' next month !!

There is probably no one on this site that comes close to you when it comes to investing.... You're a ROCK -- Birch...

But what's the underlying goal -- sure you plan on getting a nice retirement home... but the MAIN GOAL is Buzz's future family and knowing her kids will have way more than you ever had.

So BIRCH -- Please know that no one in their 'right mind' harbors any bad feeling towards you. And if they do ~~ screw them ~~ and just know the bulk are glad to have you back.

There is no way -- you would have been (and are) my brother if I didn't really know how 'good' you really are.

WELCOME BACK -- BIRCH

 

[Birchtree]

Thanks Steady - glad to see you are back in the game. The NYSE is still positive and we may still rally into the close. Buzz just got off the island and is now in Chicago to start her new chapter. Her cat flew with her and all went fine - that's a relief.

You know you are always welcome here Birch. Just as I know I am in your house. I wish I would have seen what you posted. And if it is true that you didn't know what it meant, that would make it even better. But I doubt you had no clue to the meaning.

 

[Birchtree]

I was referring to a Madonna kink where she likes toes. Only I had the wrong anatomy.

And it was worthy of banning?

 

[Birchtree]

It's not for me to question the motives of the Administrator - he was correct. His primary concern is for the site and apparently there was someone that was offended by the comments - even if I didn't know what I was saying the damage was done and the price has now been paid. My redemption is in progress.

 

[Buster]

Cool Birch..We all screw up unknowingly..the typed word is very difficult to interpret...A lot of times without hearing tonal inflections, the meaning of what we are saying can be misread and taken wrong...I know I say crap all the time and I'm usually just pullin a leg to fool around a little..But some mistake my sincere intentions..

Anyways..Welcome back again

 

[Steadygain]

Sugar,
My tantalizing beauty...

......My illustrious work of art

You are a fortress of strength and courage and only you are capable of standing up to the challenge.


Birch recently said:
"Please remember that when I post something in the bear cave it doesn't necessarily mean that I believe it."

Now that sounds kind of wishy washy to me :suspicious: I mean what kind of crap is that ??

Remember when I post -- ummm I may not believe what I'm saying

So if he's right he can say he believes it; and if he's wrong ....

Well anyway you're the only one that can stand up to him and call him on the carpet for stuff like this.

So I'm missin' ya sugar bee -- bzzzz bzzzz

and posting this in your honor.

 

[Birchtree]

Yes Sugar, we need to hear from you - it's been too long. Come chase me a little around the school yard. I was in a bar called The Capital One in Fredricksburg, Virginia. They must of had a bar that was 30 feet long with every conceivable beer you could think of. I told the waiter I needed something that smelled like skunk pee - and he said they didn't have any Heineken and I said can't you go across the street and buy a few bottles. So I ended up with a couple of German beers. I know you are already bored but hey...
