LawTalkers - A sad, constant bid for attention

Good point. Although I draw the line because I toss the copy and never compare receipts against my monthly statement, that extra .003 seconds it takes me to draw that line is a complete waste of my time.

As for you, how would you know if you're being defrauded or not? Sucker.

Am I a sucker if I've made a conscious decision that the expected return from investing time in checking my monthly statement against the original receipts is worth less to me than the other ways I could use the same time?

Someday, the trees are going to come for us all. Don't fuck with the trees.

Isn't it true that almost all of the paper we use comes from renewable tree farms?

*Ha! I kiil me!

Oh Canada is also sung at all of the Seattle T-birds games, for obvious reasons. I hope you noted how many people actually knew the words and tune (notwithstanding the lyrics prompt on the scoreboard). Back in the day, before you needed a passport and dogs at the border, Vancouver-eh used to be a great roadtrip for underage drinking.

99% of what I say on this board is not serious. That is the guideline.

However, I am telling the truth about certain subjects such as ppnyc making my skin crawl, ncs being the bestest internet gf ever and my boyfriend being well-endowed. Basically the rest is bullshit.

My honourary Canadian (Penticton to be exact) citisenship thing is true, other than that, my posts are all bullshite.
