Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Damned right! I musta made some good choices in between the bad ones, 'cause here I am.

If you'd asked what my sixties would be like while I was in my forties, I'd have said that I'd be comfortable, assuming I wasn't dead.

If you'd asked me when I was in my 20s, I'd have expected to be dead - or really still poor and never able to retire.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be here. Largely 'cause I didn't waste money on the lottery and that was the only path I could envision for true wealth. I didn't think my company would be that valuable. We made a tidy profit and all employees were taken care of, but I never dreamed I'd sell it as soon as I did and definitely didn't think I'd sell it for what I did.

Ah well... Such is life. Sometimes you come out on top, sometimes you come out on the bottom. I was on the bottom long enough to appreciate being at the top.

Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket!

I don't ever do that!

The lottery is a tax on stupid - or at least people who don't understand math. (The term is similar to illiteracy, it's innumeracy. And most people suck at math, even if they have a good grasp of arithmetic.)

Sure, you can't win if you don't play - but you're more likely to get struck by lightning than you are to win a big prize amount. You're more likely to be killed by a truck carrying bananas than you are to win big at the lottery. Your odds of winning the jackpot are infinitesimally small.

In short, buying lottery tickets is a bad idea. It'd be smarter to save that money - or even just to chuck it out the window while you drive down the road.

LoL I don't waste money on lottery tickets. That would imply that I had money! LoL
