Geez...Guess I got shot down

Well done. Merry Christmas.

I accept the challenge. I will attempt to educate you, or at least improve your comprehension/analysis skills. Lets start now, tho its still 2006. I am not a Doc, just a humble A.B. I said nothing about making people do things, they do them because they want to, possibly because of my toothy grin. And I said nothing about them not knowing what they were doing. Thank you and have a nice evening.

How about politicians, insurance salesmen, real estate people.

Actually its a PhD program so I won't be out in the "real world" for a while unless they kick me out.

That would be "smarter than I".

I have good luck getting people to do what I want them to do. Wouldn't call it sweet, just a matter of expedience.

I believe we had our santa clause rally early this year. Its funny how you forget that we made new closing highs on the dow just a few days ago.

I was surprised a few days ago when CNBC put up a graphic saying the NASDAQ was unchanged in December. Now of course its down. Guess I would have figured we were up on the month. Specially watching CNBC and all the cheering for the DJIA records.

Just looked at the S&P 100. 13 up 87 down. What a bath in red ink. Impressive to actually go thru the list.

Sure it does. Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: wimp
Pronunciation: 'wimp
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
: a weak, cowardly, or ineffectual person
- wimp·i·ness /'wim-pE-n&s/ noun
- wimp·ish /'wim-pish/ adjective
- wimp·ish·ness /-n&s/ noun
- wimpy /'wim-pE/ adjective

Though it says etymology unknown, I'm inclined to agree with your explanation of its having come from the word whimper.

How long has the word been around? Who knows, but here is a book cover that's 68 years old:

My, but this thread really wimples, doesn't it? And yes, that's a real word too.

love that book cover Rob....I'd gladly pay you tuesday, for a hamburger today!

Some of my favorite smells: horses, dogs, skunk (just a faint wiff, not overpowering) balsam fir, wood smoke, gun powder, garlic and onions (cooking), fresh loam, the ocean, and the scent of a woman that's not saturated in perfume. I should start a new line of cologne for men.

Well, I'm trying to quote something that was quoted which doesn't seem to work on my system but although I do like the smell of horsies, skunks and gun powder are out. But somebody here must like them.

Added later. Not to mention the scent of a woman, at least another woman.

It does. I simply cannot understand why it has only 4 stars.

Louetta...That was just an example as you noted...But I'll tell 'ya...A Midsummer Night's Dream really put me to sleep...LOL...I refused to read it after the first sentence in 11th grade...However, the teachers were hip to the Cliff Notes scams:

There is a woman that takes care of all the new construction in our area for the gas company. She covers a large area an is quite busy but on top of that she is absolutely, can't take your eyes off of her, beautiful and just completely natural. She was by the site the other day and had this scent that was new to me and was great. I had to ask her what it was and she tells me that it's Lancome "Miracle". It smelled like fresh soap very light and fragrent but I can't put my finger on how to describe the fragrance other than fresh soap. But very pleasing. Any man looking for a stocking stuffer for the woman in their life should check this one out.

the what said the who now? these quotes are hurting my head...oh, I see what you did there.

Yield Curve

sorry for the off-topic post, but did ya'll notice that the yield curve is a carbon copy of the one right at the top of the bull market in late 2000? And also, the economy has in the past always slipped into recession after an inversion of the 10 yr. and the Fed funds rate, which has been inverted for a quite a few months now. I guess there's always a chance that history won't repeat itself, but to date this has been a solid indicator. Next month is going to be very telling from an earnings stand point.

Don't think I know anyone who smokes. Well a couple of people at the horse farm I guess. I kissed a couple of horses this week. None of them smoke. One tried to drink a cup of coffee though.
