        you realize very quickly how selfish some people are when you ask them for loans..... - groiny Mar 28, 13:44 8

Can we all agree also that if we only win onesie twosie type amounts, we should just let it ride for the next drawing? -- nm - TFox Mar 28, 13:26 45
- [deleted] 5

        [deleted]
- this was one of my questions on B2 - zork Mar 28, 13:31
- (i'm highly amused thinking about how much money Meg has in her PayPal account right now.) - TFox Mar 28, 13:30 3
  - heh ... exactly what I thought coming to the board hours later after posting the early A.M. suggestion to her - don't hate me Meg :) - JenBro Mar 28, 13:34 2
    - I'm actually thinking of buying them at the gas station - I hope he's an independent owner. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 28, 13:37 1
      - :) make sure you give yourself enough time ... bound to be a line ... and for gosh sakes be careful! -- nm - JenBro Mar 28, 13:50

- define onsie twosie? - groiny Mar 28, 13:27 29
  - I'd say any total return of less that a dollar per share - znufrii Mar 28, 13:28 22
    - no, it needs to be decided now. Under $2,000 total, rebuy, over that distribute (or something like that). -- nm - zork Mar 28, 13:34 19
      - [deleted]
      - zork = fired up. (it really doesn't need to be a big deal.) - TFox Mar 28, 13:35 17
        
        you give people too much credit....... - groiny Mar 28, 13:35 16
        
        but it's sort of obvious that everyone feels the same way. a small amount we let it ride. more we cash out. - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 28, 13:36 15
        
        oh, I wish it was that way. - groiny Mar 28, 13:38 14
        
        exactly. I'm not fired up but expect that someone will be because they want their $9.50 and others will be "relax already and let it ride" -- nm - zork Mar 28, 13:41 1

        i will make a personal pledge to brutally mock anyone who gets upset about not receiving 47 cents via PayPal. -- nm - TFox Mar 28, 13:39 11
        
        agreed. -- nm - znufrii Mar 28, 13:47 2
        
        Oh, the brutality! -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 13:53
        
        this doesn't help. -- nm - TFox Mar 28, 13:48
        
        agreed. - Mel Profit Mar 28, 13:40 1
        
        "I want my two dollars!" -- nm - aSThole si Mar 28, 13:43
        
        right. -- nm - Diva Mar 28, 13:40
        
        like, forever. -- nm - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 28, 13:39
        
        as will I. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 28, 13:39 3
        
        shit, we haven't had a 'lia level target in *ages*. -- nm - TFox Mar 28, 13:41 2
        
        "That escalated really fast! I mean it really got out of hand." -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 13:47 1
        
        I think that might have been the inspiration for Foxes and Hens - zork Mar 28, 13:51
    - [deleted]
    - really, i'd say anything less than $5 per share. i mean, what are paypal fees and i don't want to pester meg for $4.27 or something. -- nm - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 28, 13:30
  - I'd say if the payout doesn't exceed what people put in. - TFox Mar 28, 13:28 5
    - I agree. Meg should just keep that for her trouble. -- nm - pmb Mar 28, 13:34 3
      - when I've done big groups at work, we just let it ride until it was gone, some weeks later. -- nm - zork Mar 28, 13:35 2
        
        and barring a big hit that has a comma in it, this is what would happen. -- nm - TFox Mar 28, 13:35 1
        
        yep, but an exact amount should be stated before the draw ($2,000 or $5,000 etc) -- nm - zork Mar 28, 13:45
    - agreed. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 28, 13:28
- yep -- nm - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 28, 13:27
- definitely. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 28, 13:27
