Truly the reasons (at least some), is they need the extra money for paying off things or they are going to receive monies in a few months to repay, but really most of the time is they are maxed and the Banks won't give them anymore money and need it fast!!. But really seeing your comment and i agree with you 1000%!!, what they do with it is there business and you would think being some sort of adult would have some common sense right.....Quote:

The funny thing that always makes me chuckle Idol.. Now around all of the Casinos, they have signs "If you have a gambling problem? Pleas call Toll Free" :lol:...
Again you are not wrong in most instances, but i know a few people my friend did lend too and they did use the money for good reasons and paid him back fast!!!.. And remember the risks involved here.. If the person he lends to goes bankrupt or the first secured lender take his asset away?? my friend gets fucked!!!.
Again in anything Idol, "Zero Risk, Zero Gain"..

I didn't know you could buy a pond? Must be a canadian thing, eh.
But the person he lent the money to gets two broken kneecaps. Unless of course your friend is Asian in which case the person who took out the loan gets sold into sex slavery.:)Quote:

You can buy a pond but they force you take care in perpetuity any beavers that are living on the property so it can run you a lot of birchwood.Quote:

The other show that really took off, and of course filled the pages of tabloids and all the Talk shows.. For me Anon, it was not my cup of coffee with 18% cream (Tim Hortons ), how about youself......

Had never heard of it, although I did watch a few episodes of South Beach Tow :unsure:
Really?? You are kidding right?? No matter where you live, if you have internet or a TV flat screen or tube/box, i would think that show would have been advertised or spoken of?? You should check out a few Eps , very interesting show :whistlingQuote:

Rest her "Big Breasted" soul... Another interesting show that i watched 2 episodes just to truly admit how much i dislike reality shows.....

I found a rat in a storage locker once but it was dead so it was only worth about half as much.
Snatched up a nice Ghost S1 case. It’s a beaut. Made from milled aluminum. Pretty snazzy. Working on custom cabling atm as it’s an incredibly tight squeeze.
Does any one of you guys have any experience dabbling with Raspberry Pi?
Gribley is the Guru on the R-Pi's, i haven't seen him around but you can PM him and he usually checks his messages.......Quote:

Did you watch any of it Idol??
I watched Diamond League Brussels on the CBC. https://i.fststatic.com/smilies/bb.gifIt was also on NBC but American coverage of track and field is so sickenly bias towards American athletes almost to the total omission of anyone else.
I use to watch tennis but I haven't in quite a while and I'm not a jump on the bandwagon sort of guy so having a Canadian doing well didn't change that.
Lame
One of my favourite shows!
Never seen it. Still on my to-watch list.
And, Better Call Saul.
A inquiring post: Not sure if anyone has heard from Stehle?? I hope all the tests and everything went well:yup:
Not sure if anyone corresponds with him outside of FST??
Hope he's OK physically at least. Pretty sure the mental boat sailed years ago, :alien:Quote:
