Don Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 You didn't read the fine print, did you Don? Oh, now you tell me. By the way Terry, since you had eighth grade cipherin' and know most of your gazintas you're probably alot better at understanding these kind of things that we weren't learnt out in Clever. What does (hybrid exponential balloon payment) mean? Thanks.....Don Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
Terry Beeson Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Hybrid Exponential Balloon Payment We know what payment means... We know what a balloon is... Exponential is broken down: Ex... former wife. pon... that water hole where cows take a pee and take a dump. en... not out. tial (pronounced "chull") Hybrid is broken down: Hy - not low brid - what a female gets when she is in "season"... Sounds like that payment is gonna feel like you've been brid real hy in the chull with somethin' the size of a balloon that will feel worse than your ex comin' back and smell worse than a pon... Let's see... A tank of gas at $60... times 5.84 percent per year for 30 years... naught times naught is naught... carry the 5... HOOOOT DOG! I dun made me $10,440!!!!!!!!!

MrsDucky Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Uh, Ronnie? I think Mr. Ducky done started without you! Terry, I like the description of "hybrid exponential balloon payment." Although ex in my case would be former husband, other than that I think it's accurate! I can tell you that my parents took 2 of the grandkids to Branson this weekend, from Republic, and they went to a show, mini golf, and dinner. However, that's what they do about once or twice a summer anyway. So, I can't say how it's affecting them. I can say Dad only leaves the house in Mom's car, or if he has to in his truck. I can bring home the trout...fry it up in a pan...and never let you forget I caught it! 'Cause I'm a woman!
drew03cmc Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 I am absolutely tired of this all. I drive a 1997 Geo Metro to and from work (8.5 miles each way). I have to spend $30 to fill it up now. $30 FOR A GEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree that everything is so corrupt anymore. You realize the president will not do anything, neither will Congress as they are all getting filthy effing rich from the gas prices being this high! We have no way around this except to use A LOT less...move closer to work, work from home, etc... Andy
SilverMallard Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Oh, we do have choices. But it would require a lot of work, cooperation, and coordination...not to mention persuasiveness and charisma. "Save gas...stay home from work." Get a few million people to participate in that for a few days and the politicos will start figuring they better do something. However, I generally think that the expected outcome of the politicians thinking they should do something is less than desirable. It's usually best to just let that sleeping dog lie, because they haven't got an individual measure of common sense among the bunch of them. That's what we get for electing people we "like" and whom we think are "nice" and then having the media rummage through their personal lives like welfare mom's at a garage sale. We need to elect people we think are intelligent, fair, reasonable, and TOUGH...people who will say and do what they think needs to be done even when SOME folks whine and complain. Then we need to realize they are human beings just like the rest of us and hammer the media to keep their noses out of the extraneous personal BS they love to focus on because we lap it up like a bunch of thirsty dogs. If we wouldn't want to be looked at that closely, then we should insist that our leaders be given the same courtesy and respect. We need to restore some decency to politics if we want any decent politicians. Decent people currently will not run for office and cannot get elected if they dare. Our society is very psycho-spiritually ILL. And whether it is gas prices, food prices, the war, illegal immigration, or whatever; these are all just SYMPTOMS of the collective dysfunctional mindset and whacked out priorities of a culture that is spoiled rotten. We actually prefer delusions and illusions to reality these days, and often insist that we are told and shown what we WANT it to be rather than how it actually IS...in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary that is intuitively obvious to the casual observer. OK. I'm getting off my soapbox now and going fishing.

We have the option to "throw the Ba$tards out". If we don't exercise it then we have no bit**ing rights. It really IS as simple as that! <Our society is very psycho-spiritually ILL.

The problem is that every hog wants a spot at the trough. Proving that politicians aren't the only ones for sale to the highest bidder. The American electorate is equally guilty of prostituting themselves to the Federal trough by returning the same crooks to Capitol Hill who deliver a portion of the porkbarrel to their district. How else could one possibly explain the perennial re-election of such individuals as Ted Kennedy, Pelosi and Schumer? <We actually prefer delusions and illusions to reality these days, and often insist that we are told and shown what we WANT it to be rather than how it actually IS...in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary that is intuitively obvious to the casual observer.> Discouraging ain't it? ;o( "You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for independence." ---Charles Austin Beard
