I had a friend who worked for Fender and then OMI who lived in Huntington Beach. There was some talk of offering me a job at OMI back in the 80s and I professed to him that I always wanted to visit there because.... I mean let's face it, I grew up with the vision that California was surfboards, sand, grapes and hot rods. I wasn't so naive to believe it, but there was that mystique. He let the air out of my tires really fast. Probably the CA I envisioned never existed, but they sure painted a rosy picture in my head. It was all just The Beach Boys and women in bathing suits. Actually Cali has changed a lot.Those that can still afford to live there I envy them. I took so much crap from my in-laws being the Cali weirdo, and then finally when my wife went there with me for five weeks, we were across street from the ocean, when my mother was going through hospice care, that completely changed my wife’s view of California and how beautiful it is.

I made dishonest jackaxx real estate developers like him hundreds of millions of dollars. 'Cause I had the brains, not the stupid ignoramuses like him. For a real estate developer, he is absolutely one of the stupidest people in the universe. I had a real estate developer client who literally couldn't write who was ten times smarter than him. I know stupid people. I know stupid real estate developers better than anybody I know. Trump is beyond stupid. I guarantee you I'd be the only guy on here who could hold a conversation with that pantload, cause I did it for thirty years. That doesn't mean he isn't the dumbest moron in the real estate business, and one of the stupidest humans I've ever seen. In the glory years of the casinos, the mid-late 90's, Trump Taj Mahal really was a great hotel. Casino, I don't know, we don't gamble. In all of the years of visits to Taj we probably put 50 bucks into gambling, and I never once played cards in that place. But it had Ivanna's, an actually pretty good restaurant by casino standards. Continental leaning to Italian, not nearly enough French, and zero Eastern European or Russian type food, which we had hoped for because of her name. BUT, outside of our time in Bermuda where we had it frequently, Ivanna's was one of only three places in America we've ever had Iranian caviar. 96, 97? or so we had dinner at Ivanna's and were sitting at our absolute favorite spot not just in that hotel but on the boardwalk overall, the bar up by the front desk. Really quiet, very little casino noise, just great service always trying to look good for the incoming guests, the bustle of the valet not far away. Just a great spot to sit and watch, and they had the same sparklings as the good restaurants, so, Champagne. We saw The Donald over there behind the front desk, off to the side where he spent most of his time conferring with whomever was working and managing when he was there. He came around and headed over to the lounge and of course, he stopped at our table. Really polite, SUPER charming, asked all the right things, as he left after a couple minutes he gave some hand signals to the wait staff person that was never far from him, and our tab was covered for as long as we were there. So yeah, Champagne. He was, at that time, we were all a whole lot younger, he was the most distracted there but not there person we have ever talked to. Each question was just a place holder, it didn't matter what we told him we had at Ivanna's, "oh yeah that's my favorite" would always be his answer. Even though I knew the truth, that he had never, to anyone's knowledge ever eaten there. He was engaging and affable while at the very same time you could tell he was thinking only of the next or next two or three conversations he would be having. So yeah, there you go. I won't bore you with the pages and pages of the business end of his company and my own indirect dealings with him and them, because that just doesn't belong here, that's for over a couple beers or a coffee or a drive around Atlantic City. Suffice it to say that if he could actually run a business on a par with his personality, charm, wit, and ability to be the center of anything he is in, Atlantic City and this country would be in completely different conditions than they both are. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an hour earlier you posted, "You're the kind of guy I'm talking about. You go around calling people dummies, and when I look at you, man, am I glad I never had to learn stuff from anybody like you. You got probs getting along with people. And I can tell what your IQ is. You don't fool anybody." And yet you feel comfortable calling other people dummies. Pot, kettle? Or are you just that brilliant? Since you know my IQ, old friend, then clearly you will be all too happy to share that it last tested at 129, per Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS, 3rd Edition) and Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (RAPM), 2003, Army Research Institute. I'm willing to admit that it may be higher or lower at this point in history. Such is life. 😘 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the only person I called a dummy in the quoted post was AOC. Is it your assertion that she is actually a brilliant, intelligent woman?

Is it your assertion that she is actually a brilliant, intelligent woman? If so, yours is definitely the minority opinion, good buddy. Well, your opinion of AOC is definitely in the minority. I don't know if academics demonstrate a person's IQ, but she has a pretty strong academic record- two bachelors degrees (economics and international relations), *** laude from Boston University. Not too shabby. Your former president has been called an idiot by one of his own former secretaries of state and a former chief of staff. I think they'd know. And, he refuses to prove his genius by releasing his Wharton Business School transcripts. I think it is likely AOC knew more about geography, politics, and world events than Trump (before he was elected) while she was in high school. It has also been my experience that when a person has to proclaim their intelligence, it's because people seem to believe they don't have any. I believe Trump used to credit himself for being a very stable genius when he is obviously neither. Another thing I've noticed about people who claim to be brilliant, and that is, a person can have a great ability to learn or have a great memory for facts and events, but not have the ability to properly assess the data or draw logical conclusions from it. It also seems to be the case in the media where a person will cite the data that supports an agenda without telling the whole story or fully explaining why the conditions for an outcome exist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I politely disagree, good sir, reference "AOC". If indeed she's still in Congress (and forgive me, I haven't followed the news for quite some time), then the US Congress is all the worse for it. She's demonstrably a dim-witted twit. And this isn't partisan-politics speaking, since I pledge allegiance to no Party. I am just an independent truth speaker. By her own words and deeds, she's a dullard. 😶 Edited February 8, 2022 by sparquelito I corrected a typo. ironic, isn't it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love the American Flag with all my heart, but when I saw it being used like that on January 6th on those poor capitol police, we decided to remove the American Flag from the front of our house..... we now have a LA Rams flag in it's place for now. Maybe some day I'll put it back out there, but for now it just gives me a weird feeling every time I see the American flag. Sorry, but this is illogical, someone did something illegal while waving your nations flag, And you blame the flag? What if he was wearing a Gibson Guitars T-shirt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
