1. How much exercise have you gotten this week so far?

2. Do you get your father and/or the father of your child/ren something for Father's Day?

3. If you were given $10,000 today, what would you do with it?

Actually yes, you are wrong about the wealthy not using investment services.  Very wrong.

She also never said the money was needed for an upcoming expense, just that she put it towards an upcoming expense.  Why would you purposly change her statement to suit her incorrect scenario?

Thardy - what does Greece have to do with my investment timing? Clearly, you are keying nonsense.

I agree, you are not rich as you explain with your many posts here.  I worry that you read so much into my posts about why you couldn't just answer the fluff question.  Shall I explain how I know so much about annual intra-family transfers and the other ways the wealthy transfer money to their children to avoid estate taxes while alive?  I don't because I don't want to brag.  I know you popped in to let the working moms know you are so much better than they as you just got a $10K bonus.  Great for you.  No one took the bait, so I tried to give you snaps, really I did.  Lots of clapping for good work done.

It's very simple ~ you know that $10,000 bonus minus taxes (at least a third for the super-rich like yourself, no?) is no longer even close to $10,000.  Proof positive you came to brag.  Good for you, just be clear many of us (if not all by now tho they won't admit it) understand what you were doing.  What you are always doing.  I feel sad that infrequent posts from you on a message board always have to do with you putting someone down or with establishing your super-wealth.  I feel very, very badly for anyone who has that need, that cry for attention so very patent on a frivolous, anonymous message board.

How are you making that judgement spring?   I mean, except yourself of course.  :)

Again, as I have said before what I say here, I would say IRL

OMG, just admit you made a mistake.  A typo, basically!  Why attack Spring?  And why would you think Spring would know bupkis about your the wife of the President of your particular University?   You must be kidding.  What a jump from your typo to instead insulting Spring for your mistake.  too funny.

Spring, I think others here are drinking something much stronger than tea.  Unbelievable.

Oh good heavens, Thardy. Chestnut's fluff answer's really got you in a swivel. How many more days are you going to be on about it?
