Maybe F with one or two vertical lines through it, or with the horizontal stroke doubled, so it looks like a currency symbol?

Yep, I like it. A green F with two vertical lines through it.queerasmoi wrote:Maybe F with one or two vertical lines through it, or with the horizontal stroke doubled, so it looks like a currency symbol?
We expect queerasmoi to finish that favicon by the end of the week and submit it to management for consideration.

Re: We're now the Financial Wisdom Forum
WOW!!!... Financial WISDOM Forum.
How did THAT come about?
Hmmm!!!...WISDOM...is that 'virtue' or, er, ah, 'vice'?
What is the aim?
Some of us have the knowledge and skill to analyze 'HOW' that works in SK.
as an aside...Why is it mandatory to investigate the 'Do-Gooders' first, WHY?

Are you sure you're not from SK yourself, esteemed blonde?
Look at your signature and investigate. Could it be the product of "do-gooding."

Re: We're now the Financial Wisdom Forum
Do you remember what you were doing on February 18th, 2005? It is highly likely that Bylo, Norbert, Shakespeare and yielder can. History of FWF recounts what started 9 years ago today!
Re: We're now the Financial Wisdom Forum
Congratulations to the founders for hanging in through thick and thin and moving ahead.
I hope yielder is still enjoying life. I notice no mention of the The Regents, yet I think that is a key part of our history.
(Took me almost a year to find the place! And I don't remember how I got here.)

A MEGA-Atta-Persons to the 'founders'.
Ya'lls did handle the Formative/Growth/Maturity/Decline cycle well. Many times the Decline cycle was heading down the crapper in a hurry and ya'lls were able to pull-IT-off with success by using the Group-Think tactics. As always, a Name-Change is mandatory for a kick-start. Needless to say, the Charm-School sessions held in Regina were worth the time and money, eh?
Starting in 1997, I was a lurker for a long time at FundLib and then became active when the wannabbe-bully-poop by the UCSers was getting out of control. The journey thru TWB was a stepping stone...for continuous improvement.
Over the years some things never change --- Unlike 10%ers, most 90%ers do not have the Mental-HP to Figure-Out the Money Thingies.
er, ah...How did this 'WISDOM' thingie come about?

Re: We're now the Financial Wisdom Forum
Too many late nights watching wiseguy movies. When no one trusts anyone, yet keeps posting, the scientific result of this random walk, of everyone putting in the least and taking out the most, of money talking, but only in small denominations, is a shortened cycle time. So we renamed it to wisdom for the benefit of our non-AB readers.blonde wrote:er, ah...How did this 'WISDOM' thingie come about?

Re: We're now the Financial Wisdom Forum
Norm refers to FWF meeting in this morning's G&M - and I'm not sure where to post this - thus here
He refers to "septic tank" - did I miss something at my end of the table??
Good to read his reference to Vanguard and VXC. !!
Reference to inexperienced widow to be. &&
Good to see you Norm
