@Porwest

COMP screwed up and paid some coin holders millions of dollars and now they want it back. But many sources say there is no obligation of recipients to pay anything back, despite the founder's pleas. What would you do if you were suddenly mistakenly paid millions of dollars in rewards on a coin you own? Give it back or keep it?

@Porwest

Is it FriYAY? I bet it is. That means I get to go home with Porwest and play with Grayson. I always look forward to FriYAY because then I know I will get some extra love and attention, and I will get some tasty special wet food too. Ah, I just love the weekends. :)

@Porwest

What is the Value of a Dividend Paying Stock? Money makes money. It is a term we often hear. But do we fully understand what this actually means? The reality is that you can go to work each day and earn a paycheck. And that is something worthy of doing. The world needs our labor, and we need money in order to live and take care of our needs and that of our family's needs. But at the end of the day, if anyone wants to ever enjoy true financial freedom, and even retirement…

@Porwest

There is a glitch that happens often to me on noise whereas a reply comment is turned into a new post. Anyone else ever experience this? I always delete them because for one a reply by itself makes no sense, and for two I like to keep my posts several hours apart.

@Porwest

I do not always agree with the approach of these two guys, Jason and Ben Gutterman of Amagansett Press and Watching the Watchman. I find them often to be a bit more confrontational than I prefer. However, in the United States we are governed by a VERY important document which gives the PEOPLE, not law enforcement, and not the government our inalienable rights as citizens. Some people in other parts of the world find arrogance in people having the power. But here, we take…

@Porwest

I discovered a neat little trick the other day I did not know I could so. You see, unlike a lot of others I just cannot do noise using my phone. So, I do all of it from my laptop. But that makes it more difficult to include emojis at certain times. Or so I thought. To use emojis from my laptop, using Windows, all I have to do is hit the Windows start button and the period at the same time and a screen opens up and lets me add emojis. Now you know. 👍😁😉

@Porwest

In America, The People Are In Charge I hear so many stories about other countries where the *State* controls the people. Where people live in fear of their governments, and live in fear of law enforcement. Countries where those who have guns, and badges, and authority rule the day, and have all the power over the people. I hear stories of tyrannical leaders who rule their people with iron fists, and threaten death if there is non-compliance to their rules, and their demands.…

@Porwest

One thing I love about my country, the United States, is that we the people have ALL of the power over our government and our law enforcement, afforded to us by the Constitution. And no matter how much power the government wants to hold over us...at the end of the day they have only the power WE the people allow them to have. An example video is provided in the post. I would love to hear your comments, especially from those who do not live in America and do not understand…

Financial Planning Is Paramount to a Decision I Must Make Move a little of this around, and a little of that around. Reassess the financial positions, and rearrange how those finances are disseminated. Move into stronger positions to allow for the "cashing in" of more lucrative stock options premiums from selling covered call options contracts, and increase positions in dividend bearing stocks. All things to initiate *the plan*. Because not too long ago I said that You Can't…

@Porwest

No matter your current financial position in life, the key is always to have a plan. It does not matter what the intention of your money is. Having a plan is the path toward financial freedom, financial independence, and having the ability to make choices in your own life that best fit what YOU want to do. Not what others want you to do. Money may not be everything. But it sure helps to have enough of it to not be strapped down when you lack enough of it to pursue your own…

@Porwest

I might be a complete idiot. But against all of my better judgement I decided to buy $10 worth of SHIB today. I don't think it really has any legs, but who knows? I spend FAR more than that on lottery tickets each and every year. Got me almost 500,000 coins. If I get lucky enough for it be worth 1 penny, that should give me a nice $4,990 gain. I think I can live with that. And if it does nothing? Heck, it was only $10. 🤷‍♂️

@Porwest

Got my $3 worth of free NKN today on Coinbase. I see no value in it, but these tend to "hype" up a bit initially when they are offered like this. So I will probably hold it toward the end of the week, see what it does, and then decide to convert it to BCH, ALGO, or BTC. MAYBE SHIB, but that would probably be a last ditch consideration. We shall see.

Tuna fish casserole tonight for dinner. Always delicious. And it is so easy to make. Cook up 16 ounces of any noodle you want. I usually use egg noodles, but this time I used rotini because it was what I had. Boil them until done. Toss into a bowl Cut up an onion and toss in the following into the bowl; two 10.75 ounce cans of cream of mushroom soup, a 12 ounce bag of frozen peas, 2 cans of tuna (drained), a can of mushrooms, 1 cup of shredded cheese, a tablespoon or two of…

@Porwest

It may be time for me to simply walk away from AMP at a loss. In it for 9 cents a coin and it seems to be having a very difficult time breaking past a nickel. Just been a real dud of duds and not sure it has any legs at all to go anywhere. I hear VERY little chatter about the coin. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

@Porwest

I like to think of every invested dollar as little soldiers beating their drums and going into battle for me, to come back and announce that we were victorious in our fight toward absolute financial freedom.

@Porwest

Don't Lose Your SHIB Over It Years ago I learned a valuable lesson about money that has thankfully stuck with me through the years and to now. It was a very simple lesson. *Getting rich and achieving absolute financial freedom takes time. There is no real get rich quick scheme out there*. There is another thing that I think is important to note here. When you thumb through the list of *Forbe's Richest*, beside each name it also says how the richest earned their money.…

@Porwest

As I recently dove into the fire hot Shiba Inu coin, I provide a perspective and offer cautionary advice to best proceed and not allow one to get carried away by the excitement of riches. Getting rich is a process that takes time, and to my mind while sometimes luck can be on your side, more often than not patience and realistic thinking are the best ways to approach any investment. https://read.cash/@Porwest/dont-lose-your-shib-over-it-1f24c333 ***Image courtesy of Pixabay,…

It seems to me that inflation is here to stay, and will continue to rise. Across the board, the cost of finished goods and raw materials continue to rise almost relentlessly. Nothing indicates this trend is showing any sign of slowing. Most of it is due to a disrupted supply chain, labor shortages, and rising wages. The best hedge against inflation on a personal level is to find ways to grow your money at a faster pace than inflation. The U.S. stock market continues to be a…

@Porwest

I will admit this meal may not look appetizing. But I assure you that it is good. It's baked tilapia that I made with butter, French onion dip, Worcestershire sauce, onions, mushrooms, pepper, Paremsan cheese, garlic, pepper, and curry powder. For sides I have corn cooked in butter, and stuffing with onions. Bon appetit. lol

@Porwest

Help to me to understand. So, what is the purpose of running a faucet? I mean, I know you get coins by running it. But what is the advantage to the coin? For example, I am currently running an auto faucet for SHIB that pays 50 tokens per minute. I get the tokens, but what does this mean for the coin?

@Porwest

Did I just waste an entire day when I could have been here on noise with all of you fine people here? Not sure yet. I am "reviewing" a site that another member sent me to which apparently allows one to earn My Shiba Inu tokens (SHIBAs). It engages users with manual faucets, automatic faucets, paid to click, and other features, and has a minimum payout of 15 million tokens. Thing is, withdrawal to what? I am not sure yet. Coinbase does not offer SHIBA, so I have no idea if…

@Porwest

My Shiba Inu Preliminary Thoughts A member on noise introduced me to an interesting site that offers free shiba tokens through various tasks such as paid to click, an auto faucet, manual faucet, and other ways. I started exploring the site a couple of days ago and so far I can only make one assessment, and it could simply be my newness to crytocurrency in general. *I am a bit confused to say the least*. At first I was under the impression that what the site offered was free…

@Porwest

Sometimes all marriage happens to be is a shouting match and pissing contest between the wife and the husband during a project, where the wife barks ideas that the husband yells, "Will NEVER work," as he tries his own methods, only to finally try the wife's method... And finding hers actually worked and then apologizing for being cynical. lol

@Porwest

I have to proceed with extreme caution this week as I am quite "trigger happy" regarding my decision at work whether to stay or whether to go. Everything hinges on what I know on Friday to be the situation. https://read.cash/@Porwest/money-is-power-the-saga-at-work-continues-77889d4d The long and short is this; we are just going to have to see how it goes. But being trigger happy also does mean I can make a decision in a moment's notice because I am fully prepared for…

The Corona Virus has been a real pill from day one. As such I made a parody of it and decided to share it. I did this one back in March of 2020, sort of around the height of it all. It's a play on Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, but I changed the lyrics. Luckily NOW we are finally seeing the tail end of this fiasco. But I think the song version I did is still relevant. :) https://soundcloud.com/porwest/jim-bauer-coronavirusville-parody

Is Crypto The New Dot Com Boom and Bust? If you were around during that time, you will recall that the 1990's were an era of new money and many new, young millionaires. Many also went on to become billionaires. Not only was it *new* money. It was relatively *easy* money. Of course what I am talking about is the meteoric rise of the Internet and the dot.com boom. The *kids* were going to redefine how money could be made, and they were going to break all the rules doing it.…

@Porwest

We all love our cryptocurrency. But I see stark similarities to the dot.com era which caused a LOT of people to not only visit a reality check, but who also lost of LOT of money. In this article I lay out why I think the two (the dot.com era and crypto) have a lot in common, and what we need to recognize as we proceed forward if we not only want to make a profit, but KEEP it. https://read.cash/@Porwest/is-crypto-the-new-dot-com-boom-and-bust-56d3a44f

I have a simple philosophy in life. Don't just dream about what you want to achieve. Understand all of the things that you need to do to make the dream a reality, and plan, and define the goal. ACT on the dream. Pursue it with as much fervor as you can possibly muster. But also realize, not all dreams CAN or WILL actually become reality. The point is not that you actually achieve the goal, necessarily. The point is that you put the effort in. In the end I would rather reach…

When it comes to music, I admit that I often have rather eclectic tastes. It's not that I do not enjoy the mainstream. I simply do not prefer it. As such I am always scouring the Internet for things I have probably never heard, and artists that fall deeply under the radar, but that I feel deserve much more fanfare than they ever get because they DO fall under the radar for whatever reason. One such artist is Julia A. Noack, who I have found has a nice catalog of music that I…

I thought that while I was on my business trip I would receive some update regarding Dylan, a kid we interviewed a few days ago that showed some promise and that the boss said he would consider making an offer to to hire for the warehouse position at work. I heard nothing. Tomorrow I will go into work as scheduled, and work most of the day. I will carry out my duties as I would normally on any other day. I will listen for cues and clues. I will not pry into the question, but…

Another song share from Julia A. Noack, and the first song I ever heard from her. It is the one that turned me on to her unique sound.

An Unwritten Letter to the Boss I am not generally one who wishes to be demanding. I have needs, and the company has needs. That's just how it works in the real world. The key to making the union of employee and emplo*yer* work is arriving somewhere in the middle. On the wall in my office I hang a sign that reads, "Sometimes the best person to have on your side is one who will not always *be* on your side." What that means is pretty simple. You can either have a guy who…

Nothing like coming home to the smell of a pork roast cooking in the crock pot all day. Seasoned a pork loin roast up with some Dixie Dirt and a hefty slathering of barbecue sauce, plus topped it with chopped onions. It should shred rather nicely, and I will serve it over a bed of hot white rice and probably make some frozen, buttered corn as well. I can't wait to dig in.

As the weather begins turning, and we have had the air conditioning turned off and windows open for the past two or three weeks, now becomes the "test." I call it "breaking the seal," which I try to avoid for as long as I can as we approach winter. That is, I try to avoid shutting the windows and turning the heat on. Once you do that you "break the seal," and you are doomed to be shut up with the windows closed and heat running until spring. Holding out for as long as I can.…

When he comes around it is always a happy moment. It is nice to be recognized even if it is a bot that recognizes us. What's more, he's a pretty generous fella. (Can bots even be fellas?) He says he reads every post, and rewards us for the good ones. But does he really? I mean, I would like to say what…

For the love of GOD, this supply chain is killing me. I just heard on the radio that there will likely be a shortage of fish sticks. I mean, fish sticks? What is this world coming to? The ONLY thing I am paying absolute close attention to is shortages of anything that goes into brewing beer. Barley, hops, yeast, etc... If I hear about any of that you can bet I will buy a pallet of beer!

On read.cash there is a daily fund through Rusty the Bot. And on noise there is a daily fund through Marc DeMessel (I hope I got his name right). This site carries no ads, and therefore every single penny we are offered here for what we do comes out of someone else's pocket, out of generosity, their interest in expanding interest and usage of BCH notwithstanding. I also have a daily fund. What funds it? Earnings here. Earnings on read. Earnings from profits from my crypto…

May do a little bit of running later on today. Usually on Sunday's I prefer to have a bit of 'do nothing' kind of a day. But I have been wanting to get a new 13 inch skillet so I might go to Old Time Pottery where they usually have some pretty good prices on cookware, and being that I am planning to make a chicken stir fry tonight for dinner, I might stop off at Aldi and get some sugar snap peas. We shall see.

When it comes to money matters, this is one of those guys I tend to gravitate toward the most because he always seems to have a keen sense about what is going on, regardless of what market he is talking about, and makes it fun and entertaining as well. Most of the information he provides I already know about. BUT, it does seem that every time I watch one of his videos there is something new that I learn from it, and it helps me in my constant reevaluation and assessment of…

Can we all be like Rusty the Bot? I think we can. One thing is that between noise and read we have to keep one thing in mind. Look around. What do we see? Or, rather what do we NOT see? Ads. In other words, neither noise nor read, at least as it appears, is not out to make a profit. Every penny that filters through either of these sites comes out of the pocket(s) of someone, or a very small group of individuals, all giving us an opportunity to share and earn and adopt BCH.…

None of these pictures do the dish justice. But I made a chicken stir fry tonight for dinner with chicken, mixed veggies, onions, orange and red peppers, garlic, and rice.

Just trust me that it is tasty. :)

Socialism Is The Cancer of the World For years I have rallied against socialism as a cancer that rots away at culture, productivity, drive, motivation, and to some extent even human decency. It crushes hopes and dreams and breeds mostly only misery. Albeit a shared misery, all on mostly equal terms. Because that is really the aim of socialism. To supposedly *level the playing field*. The aim is often times noble. It stems from a basic concept of people helping people…

@Porwest

Socialism is a cancer, in my opinion, that eats away at a society's desire, dreams and goals, culture, and aspirations. It destroys ethics, and drive, and motivation, and at the end of the day leads to an equality that no one who aspires to be socialist wishes to achieve... Equal misery. In this article I outline my thoughts and offer my opinions on socialism and how it erodes society and destroys people. I appreciate your thoughts and opinions.…

Do you ever notice that some people only hear what they want to hear? And amazingly after they believe they heard it, they also then believe it to be their truth. And then they tell you what you said that you did not say at all. And when you deny it and tell them that's not what was said, they suggest you are rewriting history. Huh?

Radiohead is a band, but really it is the culmination of the vision of one man. Lead singer Thom Yorke that makes it what it is. It's what gives it its vibe, its sound, and its whole feel.

But certainly they have, over the span of many years, developed almost a cult sort of following, and fans are extremely loyal to them. It is also one of those bands that has no middle…

All great accomplishments in life take time, patience, and absolute commitment and strategy, and of course follow through.

A massive run up on Shiba Inu today. But no time to get too excited or ahead of ourselves. Just fun to watch it run, but who knows if longer term the meme token has any real legs.

Both Doge and Shiba Inu are up significantly today, and it makes me wonder, being that Shiba Inu is the supposed "Doge killer," if loyalists on both sides are now calling themselves into battle, trying to win a victory to determine who really is the better meme?

Because certainly there has been excitement behind other 'projects' that have died on the vine just as quickly as they showed promise to bear any fruit. You could…

Just know that these are speculative predictions and mostly just for fun, and something that will be interesting to revisit in a year and see how things went. These price predictions are for October of 2022.…

Shiba Inu to the moon and beyond? Without any real utility, only time will tell. Can it be the next Doge with similar price performance? Again, only time will tell. In the meantime, in this article I share my thoughts about it, what I think of Shiba Inu, and what my approach is when I invest in it. "Shiba Inu millionaire" has a nice ring to it. But if I invest thinking getting there is absolute, I may wind up at the end rather disappointed. But it is always fun to dream.…

The wife and I decided to hand out candy for the first time in many years for Halloween tomorrow. Going to fire up the fire pit and of course crack some beers and cocktails. It should be fun and we have enough candy for about 100 kids, if that many show up. Our area is pretty into Halloween, so I am sure we will have a good number of trick or treaters come around.

We Can't All Be Rich: People Need to Need Money Not everyone can be rich. At the same time, if everybody *was* rich, the world would simply stop functioning. No matter how much anyone rails against the *classes* in society, the classes are all necessary parts of it all working the way it needs to, and the way that it *should* work. The *classes* are all a part of a well oiled machine. We all *want* to be rich, and all too often we think it is unfair when such a small portion…

Halloween themed music? Never intended for Halloween, but dark enough that I think it still qualifies. "No. 130 Melancholy in D" from the album Pink Flamingoes. https://youtu.be/dIMbxVpp_40

Not exactly Halloween music, but there is something dark about this song that just gives it a spooky sort of feel. Incidentally, this is the ONLY song from the band called Broken Social Scene that I like. But I REALLY love the song, and stream it way too often. Dark and haunting melody, even ghostly, and a perfect share for All Hallow's Eve. Enjoy. "Sweetest Kill." https://youtu.be/2g77t_CnYM8

There isn't a Halloween complete without watching the famous Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash," from his appearance on American Bandstand in 1964 hosted by Dick Clark. I am sure that back in 1964 this was something a bit "cutting edge," and of course we all know that Pickett was just having fun with his song and his act. But I am sure today a performance such as this might have a different sort of reaction and fanfare. It is extremely difficult not to laugh and giggle a bit…
