BurnnBright

Mine is 2 fold. Here's my story.

Back in the day of hanging out with fellow Rick Springfield fans in chat rooms, most chose names relating to song titles.  I chose lyrics that appear in several songs but one of my favorites in particular so I became BurningBright and it was hilarious.  I'll never forget Bama going to a concert with me and looking at me with a raised eyebrow and saying "Now I know where your name comes from."   IYKYK

I carried the name over into gaming as BurningBright until you Idiots made me a member and I had to change the name to accommodate the tags.  Y'all nicknamed me BB and my kids thought it was cute and decided that my grandkids should call me BeBe.  

The main reason for my name is this.  Matthew 5:16 says "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven."  This is my main goal in life and I can only hope to "burn bright" in this regard.  

(I just quoted scripture so hit that BAN button!!!)  

Oh I wanna see!!!  

That's awesome!  I'm hoping to grow a few things this year but it's a challenge in our Zone 8.  The heat kills everything.  I might need to buy shade cloth.  

 He was so much fun.  Prayers for his family.

The easiest way is to copy the congressmen/women's portfolio. Nancy Pelosi never loses money. They've all the insider info and they have repeatedly voted against disallowing members of congress from trading. 

I follow Crazy Pelosi.  I have one of my accounts set up to buy when/what she buys and sell when/what she sells.  LOL. Decent return so far!

You will be able to find apps and other things. It's a rigged system, invest long term, that's the only way.

I've been trading in a simulator and made $15000 in 3 weeks.  I've done a few trades with real money and had mixed results.  I agree that it is essentially gambling, especially options trading, which is why I am being very cautious.  I'm also swing trading some and have some long term investments including crypto.  We should all be buying gold and silver for sure.  I have no doubt that the market can crash at any time and I've heard the rumors that a crash will take place before the end of the year.  I'm not relying on this as a  source of income but I'm enjoying the ride while it's high.  I have to say, day trading is fun!  I'm in Discord with other traders and its a good time...... when I'm winning.  

I am currently trying to learn day trading, specifically options trading.  I was just curious to see if anyone here does anything like this?  

I'm sorry you're dealing with all of that Funstick but I'm glad you're on the mend.  It's good to see you!  Take care and be blessed!  

This is what happens when you don't choose a name for your shirt. 

 My favorite Idiot. 

These guys were told to smile for Bob Barker. 

My favorite Duc. 

My favorite Gator.

No pigs were seriously harmed. 

I had no idea that's where the sign came from.  Thank you for sharing, Wildthing.  I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.  Prayers for his family.

I love this!!!  Thank you for all you do, Rugger!  

Thank y'all!  I love Idiots.  

Bob?  Bob! Bobby!!!! 

I hung around for a few years and I got the invitation several times but I always turned it down.  I got tired of being pestered about it so I finally submitted the application with outrageous answers thinking that surely they wouldn't approve that.  The Idiots approved it!!!  Are you kidding me???    I have no idea the date because Rugger later deleted me and all of my stuff so my dates are off.  

It looks like the bedrooms all have 2 beds in them. Is the price per room or per bed?  Love y'all but I don't want to share a room. 

I don't even know what year I'm on .... since I got deleted by Rugger.  

It's been way too long and I'm not sure I remember how to play.  So much has changed!  I barely recognize the website and I don't know what some of the features are.  Weird!  But.....I'm really looking forward to hanging out with a bunch of Idiots!  

It has been a few years since we've been around because we couldn't get decent internet at our current house. 

We finally bit the bullet and ordered cable. Stupid expensive!!!  These guys are running cable to our house. Since it's a build out for a business line,  they're running it from a mile away and going past homes that already have service.  Supposedly,  the line runs only to us.  They have put giant cable under the other wires on the poles. 

Life is super busy these days but we hope to shoot you all sometime. 

Yeah .....  I think I screwed it up.  LOL

I just submitted my resignation at work.  I want to delete my email from Outlook on the work computer but still be able to access it remotely for a while.  I also don't want that computer to have access to my One Drive.  The Microsoft account belongs to the employer but I access it from home all the time.  Any help is appreciated.  

I saw him in concert a few years back. He was on tour this year (opening for Rick Springfield) but had to cancel due to health reasons. He announced shortly thereafter that he had cancer. He will be missed in the music world.

I only took random pics.  Here's a few.  More to come. 

This was posted in a Walmart ad on Facebook. Bama said I'm wrong for thinking that it's wrong. What do you think?
