20,000 to one Quatloo?

I figure Quatloos must be pretty valuable. And Republic credits seemed of limited value.

What a racket!

People, this guy is talking about sharing the ‘best idea’ for making a measly one million dollars. That amount of money could disappear relatively quickly, especially in this current economy. Moreover, he’s asking you for $100 in order to share his idea. How many of you can afford to give him $100? Exactly! Not many of you would even want to anyway.

I have a better offer!

I will share with you the simplest method to make 500 million dollars!

Yes, you read that correctly: 500 million dollars.

The method is so simple that you will ask, ‘How come I never thought of that?!’

To answer that question, ‘You never thought of the simplest method because your mind is not up here but down here and kind of over there.’

Now, back to the 500 million dollars!

If you sincerely wish to know the simplest method to make 500 million dollars, I will definitely share it with you and everyone here on RF. However, there is something that I need you to think about…

If you spent 10 years of your life aiming toward a lofty goal and experiencing failure many times until at last you reached that goal by an ingenious method, would you freely share your method with others? Of course you wouldn’t. Why would you anyway? Your ingenious method is highly valuable, financially speaking. Like any other great person, you would take advantage of its high value.

By fully understanding what I have said just above, you will completely understand that I cannot just freely share the simplest method to make $500,000,000.

Unlike @Wirey though, I will not ask any of you for $100. In fact, I won’t even ask you for $1.00!

Originally, I would have asked everyone to send me a measly $0.25 in order for me to share the method with everyone. Fortunately, I understand that some people might not appreciate the knowledge on which they spent 25 cents. For that reason, I have decided to reduce the cost to $0.05 and keep it at that perpetually.

So, here’s my offer…

I will share with everyone here on RF the simplest method—really, the stupidly simplest method—to make 500 million dollars for only $0.05. As soon as 1e10 people each send me five cents, the method will be shared with everyone here. You can make this happen by getting everyone you know and shiploads of perfect strangers to send me five cents. What are you waiting for? The simplest method for making 500 million dollars is just waiting to be revealed!

I have an even simpler method of making as many $ as you want, yes, from one $ to as many millions of $$$ as you have the time to make. How does 18000$ an hour every hour of every day that you put your time into this simple method sound?. It's so simple even @Wirey can do it. And I'll give you this method for free... That's right, absolutely free of charge. Of course if you wish to you can donate, only if you are completely satisfied that this method works precisely as stated, donate just 0.1% of your income You are however welcome to be a skinflint and keep the $ all to yourself... the choice is yours.
All you have to do is open the spoiler to learn the secret.[

Spoiler: The secret is here.

Press the [shift] and [4] keys on your keyboard. Hold the keys down for as long as you want, you will see the $$$ just building up on your monitor.

"Are you working overtime?" the small robot said, starting the conversation.

"I never get off work," another robot answered.

"So you're not going home?"

"I don't have a home."

I don't really want to accept my sister's Thanksgiving invitation.

I feel rude to say no, though.

Enjoy family while you've got them. It's good for the boys, too. You can always make it a "eat and run" if everyone else understands.

Just tell her that if I'm not invited,
then you're not going.

I dislike food centered events.

We generally can't eat anything(and were told there's nothing being served we can eat other than potatoes, but we can bring our own).

I'd rather stay home and eat my own food than cart my own food and eat it somewhere else, and then have to cart it home again.

I don't have that 'family togetherness' button, where some imagined closeness due to shared blood makes these events fun. I like one of my sisters. The other one I don't dislike, but I don't feel any strong attachment to. Nor do I feel any desire to change that.

I don't want to be hurtful, though, either.

That's an excellent idea!

That would definitely put a damper on "togetherness."

I understand that.

I had that feeling with SILs and they're the ones still around.

Sounds like your feelings aren't of much import, so don't feel guilty. You can always offer to host dessert at your house and see who shows. . .for vegan, right?

Sorry to hear that. Do you have to contend with them often?

We're all(other than my oldest son) vegetarians.

I've always kinda been treated that because I'm an oddball, my feelings don't matter.

Its something that continues to be reinforced to me(even though I know its not accurate).

Well, maybe if you weren't so in love with animals people would like you more? Did you ever consider that? Or were you too busy necking with a moose or something?
