Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [440]

If it weren't for Chicagoians coming up there and spending their money, all you clowns would be broke!

Except we proved you wrong on that lie too during the Covid Lock Down.
None of us up here starved without Chicago plugging up our State Parks, beaches, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants. roads. lol
Stay home and quit ruining our tranquility.
My 4th of July BBQ party will only have the alcohol you bring for your personal consumption.
I will supply the hickory smoke pork ribs on the grill with all the trimmings.
And NO, J.J. and R.R. are not invited to ruin it with their rude toxic mouths. Hoot !

His first post of the day, (5 minutes after my first post) attacking me again.
He must have been sitting waiting to attack all morning. lol
I tell you, I live in his head rent free.
He was quite inebriated last night so he must still be drunk this morning.

It is proper to offer your guests in the USA as well.

That is another flat out lie
unless all your friends are alcoholics like you are, J.J.
Most of my friends don't drink alcohol and then get in their car to drive home.
And if they are a recovering alcoholic it would be most embarrassing to them.
This is why we hate 'Resorters' from Chicago visiting our area up here in Michigan.
Most of them are like you are, obnoxious rude disgusting drunks.

- but then presumably they could hold you liable for food poisoning at breakfast or being scalded by hot water in the shower

Welcome to America !

Is this good French vodka also for guests?

Don't be silly.

I never serve alcohol at my party's or functions due to the liability laws.
My guests are told to bring their own.
I can't be accused of over serving if they bring their own, leave and get into an accident and kill someone.

Travel / The tick in Poland are very dangerous is it true? [27]

@johnny reb, did you go to a doctor?

No I did not, however, I am keeping a very close on it, keeping antiseptic cream on it, and watching for symptoms.
Most people that get tick bites in the summer here never go to a doctor.
The only time I go to a doctor is if it is broken and the bone is sticking out or I can't stop the bleeding.

My barber that cuts my hair (once a year) told me that she had a lady come in that had a tick latched on behind her ear that was as big as a pea so it had been there for a while.

She never even knew it was there.
She went to the doctor to have it removed.
The OP is worrying over nothing and is more likely to get run over by a car in Poland than die from a tick bite.

Travel / The tick in Poland are very dangerous is it true? [27]

If you do pull a tick off you, keep it in a vile so incase the bite mark gets worse, you feel fatigued, have a fever, have joint stiffness, a headache, muscle aches and pains, swollen lymph nodes, you could be in trouble.

Symptoms can take up to three weeks to show up after you have been bitten.
Take the tick in and have it tested by your doctor to see if it has Lyme disease.
Mortality rate is very low from ticks bites. (25 people per year in the U.S.)
When I go out to mow my lawn I wear shoes and socks, long pants with rubber bands around the cuffs and my property is loaded with ticks.

Spray yourself with a good bug repellent (mosquito) and check your naked body when you come back inside for the day and you will be fine.

I will post a picture of my tick bite when I learn how to up load it if I am still alive. :-/
It is amazing what a little tick can do to you.
I was bitten a couple of years ago down by my ankle and doctored it myself with antiseptic and I still have a scar from it.

Normal people go to a doctor with the tick in a vile to be safe rather than sorry.

Lyme disease is treatable

Whether the Lyme disease can be completely cured, it completely depends on the stage the disease has progressed to and the organs that have been affected in the disease.

If the disease is diagnosed in its early stage, then complete cure is possible with prompt and adequate treatment.
However, in later stages, the treatment becomes difficult due to involvement of other organs.
I just got bit by a tick and you should see what it did to me.
It take almost a week for the swelling to show up after you have removed the tick.
One of the favorite spots for a tick to bite you is behind your knee were you can't see.
Unfortunately I didn't find this tick until the next day showering.
The trick in removing a tick is not to just pull it off you because if you break off its head under the skin it will cause major inflammation and swelling for a very long time.

It may even require surgery to remove it at that point in the game.
The best way is to use a piece of dental floss, make a loop to go around the tick and pull it straight up.
Or take tweezers and grab it and pull straight up off your skin so nothing breaks off.
They do make a device just for removing ticks which is quite cheap.
I will be getting one this week because the ticks here this year are horrible.
They jump off your pets and unto you.
Stay out of tall grassy areas where they live.

I understand, plus tax bringing it close to $20 but you said you could buy Josh Cabernet Sauvignon in Europe for 12 Euro.
Sources please.

@Alien

In Europe, the 2018 vintage costs around €12 on Vivino.

What country of Europe are you referring to ?
Please post your source as it seems there would be a shipping cost to Europe from the U.S. plus tax
2018 was is not a sought after year.
Here is mine for an example on E-Bay.
Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750Ml
$19.00 plus 6% sales tax in Michigan making it $20.14 total.

You can buy it in big box store here cheaper I do admit.

My personal favorite $20 bottle of wine is Josh Cabernet, a California red wine.
Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine that has flavors of blackberry, toasted hazelnut, and cinnamon, with hints of vanilla and toasted oak.
It is smooth, juicy, and well-balanced.
It is the first wine that Josh Cellars made in 2016 which was rated 91 that year putting it in the top 5% in the world in that price range.

The 2016 is out of stock but I did hit the gold mine in an old Mom & Pops store in the U.P. of Michigan where I found 3 bottles still marked $16 so I bought all three of them.

The 2019 vintage was rated as Editors' Choice by wine enthusiast which is still widely available and almost as good as the 2016.

...only about 10% of actively managed funds have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 15 years.

Yes Richie Repeat, you have already posted that six times now.
Totally meaningless.
You want to belittle my expertise and you only show your ignorance.
Did you read my posts in this thread this week ?
Here, I will type slow so you can read it slow.
Posted #651 above yesterday

I sold my 1000 shares of AER yesterday @ $62.56

So I took my $62,560 and bought 250 shares of Tesla @ $250 a share.

I will get back into TESLA today @ $250 a share

Post #651 above
Today Tesla closed at $262 for a $12 gain per share times 250 shares equals $3000 gain today
How much did you and your jealous little two Tesla boy make today, Richie ?
Now F.O. and quit trashing me and my thread.

Its the closest you will ever come to owning an actual TESLA!

Tell us what is so special about a cheap Tesla.
A Model 3 Tesla like you have now starts at $32,740 and Model Y starts at $39,990 after a $7,500 federal tax credit available for eligible buyers.
You can also unlock three months of free, unlimited Supercharging when you take delivery of Model 3 by June 30, 2023.
Thats cheaper than a Toyota, Chevy or Ford's cheapest cars.
And what is special about having two cars to a family ?
Most families in America are two car families with a wife working and if they have high school kids they have three or four or five cars. Duh !

You are just jealous knowing I have more cash invested in Tesla stock than you do have cash invested into two cheap Tesla's cars.

Maybe if you got yourself a second job you could afford to pay cash for a Highlander Limited too.
You just have to work a little harder to have the nicer things in life.

You trash Richie's Car Thread and now you come here to Trash my Stock Market Thread.

Im willing to bet you will be posting from your "fakecation" the entire time as well...

You would win because I plan on it.
Now tell us why this upsets you so much to the point that you have another mini meltdown.

I sold my 1000 shares of AER yesterday @ $62.56 for a $6.40 per share gain in six weeks.
Taking the rest of the summer off from trading so I will get back into TESLA today @ $250 a share and sit tight on it.
Going on vacation so won't have time to day trade for awhile.
How have you been doing on your stocks, cms ?

Life / Is it possible to earn honestly some greater fortune in the present day Poland? [40]

.Poles are still learning to do business.

I should talk to Paulina about going partners for manufacturing screens for windows in Poland.
I could engineer the screens with my genius engineering capabilities while Paulina could do sales and service with her Polish genius capabilities.
We could have a multimillion dollar business in a short time. ;-)

Where on earth did you find me quoting that, Alien ?

I would never ask such a question as all that breasts are to me is flesh God created to feed babies with.
Besides, I have always been a leg man myself.

Why do YOU care so much to attack me ?
Mind your own business and hit your ignore function.
If I want to point out maf's bias moderating is of no concern of yours, Whistle Dink Snitch.

What are people saying in Ireland out about Connor McGregor's latest rape charges in the U.S. ?
I heard he was accused of rape in Ireland too.
For a guy worth $43 million USD, it seems he would be living a luxury life instead of being a low life thug raping ****** that bait him into sex acts for huge money settlements.

The guy must not be overly blessed with brains.

Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [295]

I take the term 'Polak' as a compliment, i

Most Polish people and people of Polish ancestry in the U.S. feel the same way.
I know I am not offended by someone calling me a Polack and take it as a compliment.
Now "dumb" Polack" is a different can of worms.

What if they have two passports?

Whichever country they were born in.
