Hi Jennifer, I hope you crunched the numbers correctly and get a good deal.

On an different topic, you say that “…The agent says he thinks (in other words won’t tell me exactly) she needs $430K…”
Can you tell me who this agent is so I will never use him ever to sell one of my properties?[angry2]

Makes you wonder who they work for besides…[Read more]

Hi Marc1, I will be talking about network marketing but using a different slant on the subject. Also network marketing has been covered before in the forum and may be found by searching.

Talking about network marketing … well … I take then that you are succesfuly building a network marketing business, congratulations, which company are you…[Read more]

Hi to all,

I was wondering if we could list and detail creative ways to generate money besides the listing of renting, shares etc. – perhaps we can go into more detail.

Any clues out there?

Hi Geo, you say you want to hear creative ways to generate money.

I can tell you what is not creative, and that…[Read more]

Yack, a sensible post.

When I don’t want to take away from the value of this website, every human activity has a reason to be. A website like this has a purpose in the owner’s overall economic activities and is expected to give some form of return even if only moral support it still fulfills a purpose.

As such then, all our small contribution…[Read more]

Hi Ken,
I will give it a go even when there are certainly better BB to discuss religion.

You ask if the religious group know as the Jehovah witness is a cult.
But what is a cult?

According to the Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (1971) the term, “cult,” originally referred to “worship; reverential homage rendered to a divine…[Read more]

Lame, herd or lemming, the fact remains that unless you have the acumen to spot the demand and the opportunity and get in first, you are going to be second or third. Bad? not necessarily providing you have done your homework.

As for York’s proposal to write a book to mislead the masses away from what one thinks is the best choice into an alleged…[Read more]

It’s not tough at all.

Any agent knows that the house history is part of what you are trying to sell. If the house belonged to a famous artist it would be disclosed with fanfare.

A murder history if 150 years old would make for an interesting sales pitch, because it is recent, it may scare a few off.

The reality is that it is impossible to hide…[Read more]

Tru I’m interested in pursuing a career in real estate.

To work as an agent in sales for a real estate agent, you don’t need any course, license or degree.
All you need is guts and someone who will trust you will make him some money.

If you want to work as a property manager you need even less, and jobs abound since people last on average 6…[Read more]

Gaudeamus igitur
Juvenes dum sumus
Post jucundum juventutem
Post molestam senectutem

Let us rejoice therefore
While we are young.
After a pleasant youth
After a troublesome old age
The earth will have us.

I do think your hypothesis is a bit basic and would only be written by someone who considers themselves a THEN person.

Ha ha Aussie, I’m sorry I did not elaborate enough, after all I came up with this during my lunch time in between bites of Japanese Teriyaki, whilst battling with some very short wari-bashi.

Yet the concept is not…[Read more]

Celvia. The idea that any kid can be made into anything we like is an hypothesis.
Not that it hasn’t been done, but I never proposed it as a solution to education. I just say that it is possible, even when highly impractical.

Look at two extremes. One no school, no tuition, nothing the kid is left at his own will, he can become a scientist if he…[Read more]

I think I will vote for Pauline Hanson.[cigar]
Why?
Please explain !

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes*

Ok ok Aussie, I answer your post too … [cap]

I thought about your post this morning after reading it, and thought of answer it this way:

There are two class of people in the world (according to Marc’s classification, not Guttenberg nor Linnaeo)**
The IF and the THEN types.

“IF” people are always…[Read more]

Kay, the e-mail you passed on is well thought and truly funny.

Yet it is more interesting to analyse why it is funny.

Imagine you change the situation and write a similar story but reverse the roles, it is about a poor school and poor kids who get the visit of Mr Howard, change the car story to a push bike and the horse riding to touch…[Read more]

Aussie, you make a few good points, however…
we are mixing the subjects even further.

I think that success must be defined in order to have a debate about what it is.

We may want to define success as the achievement of a goal. So… if my goal is to become a doctor, the day I have my graduation ceremony I have succeeded. If my goal is to be…[Read more]

How so? If money is no objection you can have private tuition from year 7 onwards in order to achieve 100% no problem. That is not my opinion by the way it is fact.

The ONLY issue is cost, and this cost is not only money.
I agree that it would be impractical and absurd to train every single high school kid as a professional, so because we need…[Read more]

Kay, I must disagree with one point you make.

You say that a kid that is not “academically skilled” will not improove regardless of money spent.

Any kid possessing all his thinking faculties intact, can be in theory be tought to become any profession you like. You cannot make him brilliant, but you can make him a functional doctor, solicitor,…[Read more]

Ha ha kp it’s all part of the fun.

As for “keeping on track” …. what track?[blink]

So we must release more land for housing in order to have more intake looking for affordable housing so that we grow like New York….[baaa]

Interesting.

I bet you that if we had bigger land release and housing construction was booming the same author would write an article on the lines of:

“This year intake of people in Sydney was 70,000.…[Read more]
