Everyone was. Britain went off the gold standard during the First World War and Churchill restored it in 1925. But that failed and they went off it during the depression in the 1930’s. And Nixon in 1971.

That was in the 1970’s. In 1976 I remember our dollar was higher than the US. Oil and OPEC had a lot to do with it.

Our dollar hasn’t really “collapsed”. At around 72.5cents US to our dollar, it is 10 cents higher than when I lived in Miami at the turn of the century. And in the last 6 months it has strengthened against the US dollar as have most other currencies since the new president took over. Canadians fleeing the Florida market are doing so more because of rising insurance and other costs, and the unfriendly attitude of the current administration to Canada which is causing problems at the border.

Looking for a sugar daddy me thinks.

I hate it when they say “ask me” on position. I like someone who is forthright about their preference for either top or bottom bunk. If they flip, say so or at least indicate your inclination such as vers/top or vers/bottom.

I agree. Looks like 7inches. Nice but not 9.

I would luv to have those two help me brush up my French. 😛

I thought it might take a French speaker to make the alliterative connection between fromage and domage.

The real story behind Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana.

I love the location but I would want a more rustic style house on that lot. The type with gables and shingles on the walls and roof. A more weathered look with lots of dark wood in the interiors. Then open the windows at night and hear the ocean roar and the wind blow. Ummm.

He never interested me. But I think I get great value from my RM membership which only costs $9.90 per month. That represents a nano speck of the money I spend on their escorts yearly. And they keep coming up with new talent on a fairly regular basis in the markets I am interested in. And they let me know when travellers are coming near me. If I compare that to the thousands and thousands I have spent on house insurance over the five decades I have owned properties and never made a single claim, it is one of life’s better deals. Now talking about great deals, car warranties are a good idea. I just had my transmission replaced on a new car I got last year and had only driven 14 months. The tranny blew and it was replaced without a quibble, a job costing over 10 grand, 9 speed all wheel drive. And they threw in a loaner to drive for the week it took to do the job.

Oops, I meant domage. Lol

Quel fromage!

I was hitchhiking in Sweden in the summer of 1969 and didn’t know that had just switched sides of the road two years earlier. The cars I rode in across the country all had steering wheels on the left. They must have had several years notice to get new vehicles that could handle the switch.

Or there is no accounting for taste for those not raised in the Holy Roman Empire.

Yes, unfortunately it seems.

Just checked. Dylan no longer appears listed on RM.

Dylan. On RM. Can’t post his link.

He does have 6 fingers on one hand. Makes him polydactyl.

But I always go out and chop a cord of wood after such a breakfast. 😇

More like a house of ill repute.

When I have left over boiled potatoes I take them out of the fridge and dice them. Then I spice them with garlic powder, pepper and paprika. I toss them in with bacon and sausage as I am frying them and toss the potatoes regularly until they are crispy brown. Along with fried eggs makes a great and calorific breakfast.

I loved rosti served with chicken or lamb cooked on an open fire grill. This was a real Swiss treat when I lived there and over the 25 years I made annual visits on business. There was one restaurant outside of Geneva in a small village which made these meals in a sublime way.

I smell a pump and dump. OTOH, a lot of talent in the organization. I have fond memories of Parliament House in Orlando, which they claim to be associated with. But that was decades ago so not sure what has happened there in the last 20 years.

He’s been on Rentmen for ages.
