Bernice:I just found out that my credit union, who has been giving legitimate loans and has a healthy reserve of money, is in an insurance co-op as a result of other financial institutions and their bad loand, my bank is charged (hundreds of thousands) to help with the costs. It's the way things are. But it's sad that a responsible lending institution has to suffer because others gave bad loans and are now in trouble.

Artful Dodger: the last one can only be guessed at, and your guess is as good as mine.

Mr Rudd is throwing so much money around to the needy/greedy is it any wonder we are going down. Personally it doesnt affect me because Im debt free. The only way it affects me is my interest rates go down on investments, but apart from that I could care less what happens.

Bernice: What is a pig dog? I've heard of a bulldog.. which is a British dog, and to a degree a symbol of the British ability to hang on during times of great hardship (like WWII).

And referring to a person as an "it" is in reality a step towards the same ideas that certain people over the centuries with ideas of committing genocide thought. A step down a slippery ladder to hell and suffering.

Bernice: That is a very good analogy. What might one call someone who habitually snipes at the posts of others without contributing much to any conversation in particular? :o)

Don't know really

there are too many people in here that do that to be able to lump them/us into the same category

The Usurper: It's called sniping. When a guy does it, you call it a snipe from a sniper. When a lady does it, it's a snipe from a snipette. There's a whole branch of study called "Snipology" where people study the sniping tactics of people. Also, there's snipe hunting, which has nothing to do with sniping as a snipe is also an animal that only comes out at night and snipe hunting is popular in different parts of the world.

anastasia: I think a burlap bag is what was available in those days. Also it could be tied quickly and still give the snipe wiggle room. The most important point, as I recall, was standing perfectly still and waiting....
