[Tuesday Afternoon]

Poll question: Choose

[no name no slogan]

1. Other: complete and total world domination

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. power, the ultimate aphrodisiac

meh...you can have it...go ahead take it...its yours.

[madeline_con]

70. Is that you, Brain?

[DarkTirade]

86. I thought about trying to take over the world once.

Then I realized... what the hell would you do after that?

[krispos42]

97. Gawd, you want to inheirent BUSH'S leavings?

It would be both faster and less painful to simply jump in front of a MinnDOT snowplow and spend a year in traction.

Dominate in 10-12 years or so, after the Democrats have fixed everything.

Timing, timing, timing!!!

:rofl:

[lost-in-nj]

2. I have had both

I will take love


anyday

:hi:

lost

[qwertyMike]

3. Moi Aussi

Love

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. You have been blessed

and have gained wisdom.

[LaurenG]

6. I'll take love. I can earn money but love should be free for the taking and giving

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. that which is freely given ---

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Money; it's reliable. Love isn't.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. May you have plenty of money and may it keep you

warm at night.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. I've had love and (some) money. Love was the bigger disappointment, I'm afraid.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. I really can't speak from experience, as I have had

neither. Consider yourself blessed.

[Solon]

12. I choose love, money can't buy happiness when you are alone...

and the type of love it buys isn't the type I'm interested in.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. At the rate our money is going, it won't buy much of anything

anyway...

[Solon]

16. I have 5 Euros and I consider that an investment.

:)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. Is that paper or coin?

hide me, I just posted in GD and I did not put on my asbestos suit.

[Solon]

18. I posted in LBN, and haven't been flamed yet...

They are coins, BTW. I like the 1 Euro and greater coins, they are two toned.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. two-toned? like this --

[Solon]

20. Yep, though mine are from 2002 and have a picture of an Eagle on them...

kind of art deco, I think from Germany, with a picture of Europe on the other side.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. Nice.

Did you travel to Germany in '02?

[Solon]

22. No, the only foreign nation I been to is Mexico...

and don't ask me much about that, its mostly an alcohol induced haze. :)

Actually they were "souvenirs" from my Dad when he went on a business trip to Germany.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. to him -- a souvenier...

to you -- an investment :D

I have always wanted to visit Europe. I have been to Mexico...Cancun and Cozemuel (sp).

[Solon]

33. You've been to Cancun? That's where I was at!

I ended up staying at a hotel called the Yalmakin or something along those lines, would have like to have stayed at the Oasis instead, my hotel was still under construction at the time! The only thing I really regret was that I wasn't able to try the water slide at Krieger's.

So what did you do while you were there?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

34. ummm

you know









stuff.













:blush:

[Solon]

39. Well...

I can understand that response, I did...stuff too. :blush:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

41. ~

:D

well, there is more to it than that...just more than I care to share on a public forum.

[Solon]

49. Oh I understand, there's quite a few things I wouldn't say on public forums...

especially with some of the stuff I did in Cancun. Of course, I still have stories that are more or less "innocent", not many, but a few, mostly stupid shit guys do when drunk, like sliding into an elevator. Here's a tip, don't try to run down a hallway while drunk. There is a good chance that you will trip, fall on your knees, and slide into and slam into the back wall of the elevator. I'm just glad my friends held the door, though they had to dodge to the side to avoid me.

:D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

50. haha.

that is funny. I will say my second trip was more fun than my first. I went with a bunch of my best girlfriends the second time. I don't remember a lot...just that we had fun and drank a lot of tequila. The first trip was a revelation of sorts...and not all of them good. I did scuba on the first trip and that is always fun. Expensive hobby, but FUN.

[Solon]

54. You've gone scuba diving, I wish I did that, didn't get to...

that sounds so fun. I remember drinking a lot of tequila myself, it was, to put it mildly, nuts. Actually, I have a confession of sorts, I never lose memory when I'm drunk, I have a pretty close to photographic memory, which sucks. I remember EVERY stupid thing I've done, whether drunk or sober, that has led me to moderate my drinking. I also don't suffer hangovers, at least not in the traditional sense, instead I'll wake up chilled to the bone and shivering, and this was in Cancun, where even in the morning, it was high 80s to 90s.

I think I've hijacked your thread this time around, I'm sorry.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

57. Scuba is the life.

Truly some of my best days have been on, and under the water.

About the thread...what you said last night, it goes both ways. I must say I don't think I have ever talked so much to any one person like this before.

[Solon]

62. I love the water, if I could, I would probably grow gills and live under the water.

Umm, it does go both ways, I just hope I'm not boring you with my stories.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

68. Not at all

Kind of nice actually. If anything, we could quite possibly be boring the Lounge...if they are paying any attention, which I highly doubt.

[Solon]

71. One thing to realize about the lounge is that's its about 80% flirting, 10% snark...

and 10% kitties. I can't say that I don't participate in that, but the lounge is a place to relax, with no pressure, and I don't think no one judges anyone here too harshly. I spent a total of maybe a half hour in LBN and GD and I think I almost got a brain aneurysm when my blood pressure shot up.

If they are paying attention, which I also doubt, if we are boring, who cares? I don't.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

72. I am sure that I am too old to care

about much of anything. My priorities are simple and few.

[Solon]

73. I generally take life one day at a time...

my priorities aren't that complicated or numerous either.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

75. ~

it has been nice talking.

[Solon]

78. Its been nice talking to you. n/t

[harmonicon]

38. Is that a knight of templar on a lithuanian coin?

If it is, that's incredibly weird..... the Lithuanians battled Christian armies for hundreds of years, until the king decided that everyone was converted for political reasons. Or maybe "lietuva" doesn't mean lithuania.... hell, I didn't even think they'd moved the the euro yet - what friggin country is that from!?!?! erg.... I desire this dork knowledge!!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

40. I found it on google. here is the link

I think it IS Lithuanians!!

www.ibiblio.org/.../files.nat/lithuania.s01.htm

[harmonicon]

46. it says "file not found"

thanks anyway! .... I'll start wanted new useless knowledge in a few minutes, so no worries.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

48. odd.....try this

[harmonicon]

51. very cool, thank you

it also told me that Lithuanian has a projected date to adopt the Euro of January, 2009, so I know I'm not going crazy. I'll have to go over there this year before they make the switch, because 1. prices always go up when countries switch and 2. an ancestor of mine is on their paper money now! Lame, I know, it's like some distant relative of Abraham Lincoln getting excited about a penny, but this is about *ME* :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

52. That is very cool.

Get one for me ;) ummm...cos I helped, right :D

[harmonicon]

59. of course I will.... if I do go... hrmph... money... time... ugh

[Tuesday Afternoon]

60. and btw ...Welcome to DU

:hi:

:toast:

[harmonicon]

64. thanks - people already hate me here after a few weeks.... you'll see

[Tuesday Afternoon]

66. You have no idea

don't let this thread fool you;)

there is plenty enough hatred to go around...

do You play harmonica?

[harmonicon]

74. I don't know where my harmonica is!

I can't even remember if I ever bought a new one after a bunch of shit (including my harmonica) was stolen from my car last year.... hmmm..... I should by a new one. I play, but I'm not very good (clearly - I can take 18 months off playing and not notice).

Deep thoughts ensue....




























Damn! I should have gone for the money!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. ~

:rofl:

[rug]

23. How much money?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

25. How much do you need?

I am pretty broke.

[rug]

30. Well, that's different. I thought this was a hypothetical question.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

43. well...look at this way ---

How much love?

[porphyrian]

24. I've had love without money, and that ended in divorce.

I'd prefer both.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. You know.

Me too. ;)

[porphyrian]

28. Small world.

;)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. If I had to choose though.

I would choose love. I would Love to have money :D

but, really. I would like to know love and I don't really need a lot of money.

Good luck to both of us.

[porphyrian]

32. I'll drink to that whenever I drink next. -n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. cheers

:toast:

[Deja Q]

31. Money, obviously.

:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. Money changes everything --

[Highway61]

37. Fuck it

If you don't know what true love is...what good is it?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

42. pray tell -- oh knowledged one

what is true love?

[Highway61]

44. Believe me.....

You know it when it "happens"...believe me....If you don't believe me...well, ya didn't get there yet. I promise you. I promise.

[Redstone]

45. I've had both, and one without the other, and both together.

having both is ideal, especially if you know you'll still have the love component even if the money component goes away.

And before you ask how I know that will happen: It's because we had the L when we had no M, so we can do it again if things work out that way.

Redstone

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. You are truly blessed, my friend.

most deservedly so, I am thinking, from your posts. You seem to be a "stand up" sort of guy :toast:

[Redstone]

55. Thank you too much. I have indeed had a hell of a ride.

Redstone

[Blue-Jay]

53. Both!

Lovey:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

56. all wrapped up in a fetching outfit

what more could you need ;)

[MilesColtrane]

58. I don't care too much for money cause money can't buy me love.

(It can, however, rent it.)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

61. or at least a reasonable facsimilie --

;)

[SoxFan]

63. Beer

:beer:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

65. Cheers

:toast:

[Mz Pip]

67. I'd rather be

rich and healthy than poor and sick.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

69. what about

poor and healthy vs. rich and sick? :hi:

[kwassa]

76. I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Sayeth John and Paul. And George and Ringo.

[Lilith Velkor]

89. All of whom were rich.

Hmmm... :think:

[Common Sense Party]

77. I've got love, thankfully. Now, I wouldn't mind some money.....nt

[baldguy]

79. Money

Then you can buy a reasonable facsimile of love.

[nomorenomore08]

95. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Call me cynical, but I really think that money and sex are the two things that make the world go 'round. A lot of relationships between people are little more than business negotiations.

[Jamastiene]

80. Easy. Love.

Money doesn't keep you company. Money doesn't care about you. And Money doesn't give the same sense of fulfillment out of life that love does. I'd pick love every single time.

[Hobarticus]

81. I love...YOUR money, Tuesday Afternoon

Bathe me with some of that equitable goodness...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

82. I think

this is a compliment? I am not sure why. It sounds very nice. Maybe you are being silly and that is fun, too :D

[Hobarticus]

84. I am being silly and lighthearted...

Besides, if I panhandle online, I am far more likely to be successful.

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

85. that is good. online, I am very rich and muy good looking

[Hobarticus]

88. What a coincidence! SO AM I!!!!

:rofl:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

90. and oh yeah ... I drive a Ferrari ;-)

[ceile]

83. Money.

Had enough love in my life. Tired of being broke.

[BarenakedLady]

87. I made the mistake of choosing the wrong one years ago.

I'm hoping to remedy that.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

91. ~

:hug:

[From The Ashes]

92. I want love...

...more specifically, to be loved. Is that so much to ask for?? :(

[Seashell Eyes]

93. love

Of ME and not just my body. :-(

[Ptah]

94. It's not real simple.

I will abstain.

[RetroLounge]

96. Done love, failed

Lets try money this time...

RL

[Lady Freedom]

98. AHHHH!!!! How could you ask me to choose!

How can a person that loves money choose between the two?
