When I was young, I drove a Ford Pinto up to Montreal, Canada from New York City and then back down to New York City and then drove it cross country from New York City to Los Angeles.....about 4000 miles and slept in the car........and this was the Ford Pinto that exploded when the gas tank blew up if you were hit from behind..................also me and a buddy of mine drove from Oxford England across on a ferry to Holland and then drove to Belgium Germany Luxemburg Denmark .....put the car on another ferry and drove up to Stockholm Sweden and then back all the way to Oxford England......about 2500 miles .......all this in an English 10 year old Anglia car where you could not get car parts or even a spare tire anywhere in Europe .........bought a tent and a small propane stove and about 30 cans of food to cook on the stove and slept in the tent.....and this was before cell phones, the internet, personal computers etc etc....absolutely no way to contact anyone if the car broke down or something bad happened...............this is what young men do when you are 21 years old and do not have any functioning brain cells.

Also, if you have a safety deposit box in a bank, and you think that everything in the box is ""safe"........I strongly suggest that you read the 3 or 4 page instructions which the bank gave you when you opened the box.
If you threw them away, I suggest you call your bank and have them mail it to you.
If you read it, you will probably see that if the bank receives instructions from any type of government agency,,,,,IRS......Secret Service .....Homeland Security.....etc etc......they can order the bank to lock your bank first and then the bank must notify you by mail that the box is locked one or two days after the box is locked........so you will not be able to open your box and remove any "interesting" items you may have stored in the box.
The only thing "safe" about a safety deposit bank box is that important documents such as insurance policies, social security cards, birth certificates, last will and testaments etc etc will be safe in case your house burns down and all your important papers burn with your house.

There are probably some other posts regarding depositing or withdrawing $10,000 or more from your bank account,,......but if you missed those posts. the link below may refresh your memory if you are thinking of depositing or withdrawing $10,000 or more from your bank account...... money obtained from gambling winnings or other financial transactions..............
I have a feeling that there is alot of money hidden in mattresses or buried in the back yard in the USA as well as the rest of the world.

Do you mean to tell me that the email I got from Nigeria is a scam.......which stated that a Nigerian Prince had been left $ 50,000,000 from his father in his will and that he needed $40,000 to release the funds....and if I sent him the $ 40,000 he would give me
$ 1,000,000 as a fee.
I was going to send the $ 40,000 tomorrow........now I am having second thoughts,

February 15, 2024, 10:51:15 PMThis is the most well known book on "bubbles" with which I think most people are familiar...........written by Charles Mackay in 1841.
Should be required reading for anyone considering any type of investment.
Seems like the same things occur over and over again....history always repeats

The most important person in the Super Bowl is not a player but Stephen Christopher Spagnuolo, who is the KC Defensive Coach and was responsible for shutting down the Baltimore Ravens.
If he can shut down the SF offence, KC is the winner.
As far as Mahones, we will find out how good he really is if Kelce retires ,,,because how many hundreds of times have you seen Mahones scrambling and then finding Kelce for an 8 to 12 yard gain?
If you don't have the greatest tight end of all time to get you out of a jam when you are scrambling, then you are looking at
1. A pass out of bounds
2, An incomplete pass
3. A fumble
4. An interception
It only takes 1 or 2 of those plays a game to turn a winning game into a loss.
