[Mozartian]

[living_stradivarius]

And predict that Jerry Falwell dies today

[rach n bach]

Weird....

Bob was right...

THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!!!!! 

jk jk 

[Bob]

Of course I'm right. 

I've been right 60 times so far.


I predict.....

I will be right more than 60 times.

[jlh]

In fact, you were right 2 times so far for me!

 

[pianistimo]

he probably reads farmer's almanac too.  anyways - nobody can truly predict anything excepting, of course, something that's prophetic.  that's my humble opinion.  after all - we're not God.  are we?  i mean - nils took off 'pianoforum god' - so i'm not exalted anymore.  i'm kinda glad about that. 

even if you get a dream or vision...you have to kinda do a double check.  was this just a wierd dream or was this from God?  i rarely dream.  and when i do - it's never in color.  it's usually some humdrum idea that's going on in my head and not so much vivid as just me thinking i'm someplace or other.

sometimes i WISH i had a dream that would tell me what to do next.  so far, nothing doing.   the only thing next to biblical prophecy would be fortune cookies.  but, i don't believe them.  i do believe what the bible says about nobody being able to predict the future - but - somehow i can't eat a fortune cookie without reading the 'fortune.'  i think some chinese take-out places size up what your strengths and weaknesses are and attempt to stick them in at the last minute so they 'fit.'  ?did that make sense?  every time we get fortune cookies from 'the great wall'  - they seem to be sorta prophetic in a wierd way- but we just laugh.

**perhaps the weather can be sort of predictable.  but, even that is becoming more unpredictable.

sorry to post after i just posted - but i have a question.  my daughter just won a $200. EE savings bond.  but, how many years will she have to keep it to actually get the $200 dollars?  it was purchased for $25. i think.  can anyone predict this?

[pianistimo]

thank you.  (still a bit confused) ok.  under us government treasury - i see bonds have a fixed rate of 3.4% which accrues monthly.  if kept after 5 years - there is no 3 month interest penalty.  20 year maturity.  interest accrues for 30 years.

ok.  25x3.4x12 =8.50x12=$102.

sooooo....the bond matures actually in 2 years but the government keeps the rest of the interest money on it.  that's really peachy.  wait.  i have to figure this out.  if you take the money and run (cashing it before 5 years) - so to speak - you get a 3 month interest penalty.  at first, this sounds bad - but if you can only keep $200 anyways - where can you break even?  at three years?  or, do i completely not understand this.  can you make $1000 or more on a $200. savings bond if you keep it long enough.  if you keep it - say 30 years - what happens?  the money becomes obsolete and you get nothing?

can anyone tell me more about forclosures with no down payment?  what is the predictable outcome of that?  i keep getting these messages - 'i have good news, susan...'

[pianistimo]

i just need someone to predict the financial market in one year.  ok.  we're not on a gold standard anymore.  so is it predictable at all?

this year was the highest forclosure rate (17%?) on regular mortgages.  the banks are making a killing starting over each time aren't they?  are they eating up homes like pac men and - then what is the standard for reselling?  if a home has had a previous owner and mortgage - does that somehow make the home less sellable?  if you pay very little for a foreclosure - what are the possible reasons?  high risk?  what are the risks of buying a foreclosed home?  what if you rent it back to the original owner.  would that land you in jail?  just wondering.  what if the monthly payment was less on the foreclosed price than the original mortgage price?  what if... what if in 20 years everyone owned a foreclosure.  what if people started buying each others homes for nothing down?

the only thing next to biblical prophecy would be fortune cookies.

Is that meant to be some kind of value judgement?

but, i don't believe them.

Oh - that's a "no", then...

i do believe what the bible says

I think that some of the more observant of us here might just have noticed that...

i think some chinese take-out places size up what your strengths and weaknesses are and attempt to stick them in at the last minute so they 'fit.'  ?did that make sense?

Er - no, since you ask (though why am I suprised?); "Chinese take-out places in PA must be very different to those in UK.  And MSG doesn't stand for Making Sense of God either...

perhaps the weather can be sort of predictable.  but, even that is becoming more unpredictable.

Well, no one can justly accuse you of being like the weather, then, can they, Susan?!...

Does pianistimo consider herself a MILF?

[ahinton]

Does pianistimo consider herself a MILF?

I have no idea; nor do I have any idea who you are asking. FOr the benefit of anyone who might apprecaite it, would you in any case care to define (or rather unwrap the acronym) "MILF"?

Alistair

It is probably better that opus doesn't..

[penguinlover]

Maybe, but for the benefit of those of us "uneducated" folks, we need to know.

[jlh]

The answer to that question is 2-fold.  First, go to google, turn "safe search" off, and google "MILF".  Look at the Images to fully grasp the concept.  Then, pianistimo would need to post her own picture and we can all compare notes. 

Perhaps a nice shot with your "ring bikini"?

Anyone can predict anything. The question if if it turns out the way predicted or not.

It is very easy to predict things accurate. We have models that describe reality.


Even Pianostimo can predict things. "If I press the on-button of my computer it will turn on." Etc etc.

If she can't predict this then it would be impossible for us to see her messages because then she would never have written them.

Only the first bit needs to be done in order to figure out what this is about. The reference here is just plain pathetic; someone presumably has nothing better to do. Sad, really. Marginally Insulting: Likely False...

[penguinlover]

I like that one.

[jlh]

Marginally Insulting: Likely False...

Can't argue with that logic; although, visual proof is always better than a prediction...

[pianistimo]

i 'imaged' MILF and found a woman with a t-shirt that said 'got milf?'  i still have no idea if i have it or not. is this some kind of retardation?  and, how would a picture prove that?  i do not see the connection between ring bikinis and retarded people.  would this prove i was retarded?  i have done many retarded things - but i can assure you that my sanity is still somewhat intact.  otherwise i would not feel pain anymore.  as long as you can feel pain - you are sane.  that's how i see it. 

ps i am good looking enough to have had a motorcyclist beep twice at me yesterday.  once in the parking lot of kohl's (in which i thought it was a mistake and gave him a look of annoyance) - and then, he chased me through a light.  i tried to cut him off - but then decided otherwise.  he was revving up his motorcycle to pass me - and i gassed it.  but, then i let him pass a moment or two later.  he beeped again at me at wa wa.  then, i realized it was a friendly beep.  at least he didn't follow me all the way home.

1) "Got MILF" is hilarious 
2) You're getting colder and colder the longer you talk in this first paragraph

...but getting warmer with this paragraph.

(shaking head)   oi.....

Bob, you couldn't have predicted the way this thread is twisting... 

[penguinlover]

Maybe musicians have twisted minds?   I know we are somewhat different.........?

[Bob]

Bob, you couldn't have predicted the way this thread is twisting...

Actually.... it's going one of two ways.
