****OFFICIAL OSA LAS VEGAS/HOUSTON/CHICAGO DONATION THREAD****

[handicapme]

To be frank, here is some advice related to buy a house....

But watever you decide, good luck with that.

This is so smart. Thank you mumbles fuck, I will keep this under advisement. Any other sage words regarding buying property or investing??

Not at the moment. But I will remind you that you have yet to recognize in this forum the need to adjust financial rates of returns of assets/indexes priced in different currencies to a common currency in order to legitimately compare them.

And seeing how your line of work might call for doing so (if you get promoted to working with managing international trading risk), I thought I'd mumble up an online source that even you might understand.

Interesting the UK FTSE was only down 3% Friday, while the DAX (Germany) was down 7% and the CAC (France) was down 8%.

Initial impact seems to show the EU countries are perceived weaker than the UK following the Brexit announcement.

Brexit is significantly worse for the EU vs the UK, however... and that is a long however... the UK is going to be shitted on for the next few yrs. Like I told Daly, in the super long run the UK will be better off and the EU won't, but for the next 2-3 yrs.... not so much.

http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...l=1#post551078

But adjusting the change in the FTSE for the simultaneous change in GBP/EUR on Friday, the common currency hits to the FTSE, DAX, and CAC were comparable. (All hail the power of arbitrage!)

Good luck with that.

You are retarded.

The 3 Biggest Risks Faced By International Investors
http://www.investopedia.com/articles...-investing.asp

When investing directly in a foreign market (and not through ADRs), you have to exchange your domestic currency (USD for U.S. investors) into a foreign currency at the current exchange rate in order to purchase the foreign stock. If you then hold the foreign stock for a year and sell it, you will have to convert the foreign currency back into USD at the prevailing exchange rate one year later.

P.S. Actually, Handiman, I don't think that you are "retarded". Just too immature as this juncture to publicly admit when you have made a mistake. (And got called on it by a "dumb trucker".)

[OSA]

I would like to post an update since I am back from Vegas, but I need to have Druff post restrict these clowns because otherwise my content will get littered and lost with overposting

So before I get to Vegas I get kicked off my flight. How you may ask? Read Below.



So I get sent home on Thursday by HR and my Director because they say that there was an issue with a call that I made and they need to investigate. I have no clue wtf is going on but I realize that the last time something similar happened I got fired shortly thereafter. I leave the next day to Vegas so I try to block this out but with the Jon Jones news and now this I am already in a bad mood.

I hate waiting online so I usually sit until my section is called. During boarding outside the gate it was said that everyone can have only one item stored overhead and one under the seat. This was said several times outside and as you take your seat inside the plane. I get to my seat and lo and behold my spot is taken by another bag.

I ask whose bag this is and a Vito looking goomba says that its his to which I reply okay I think you are going to have to move it since I have to use the space for my duffel bag. He looks at me and says I cant because its already there. I ask him who is taking up your spot and he is like I don't know. During this time, the steward is 3 feet away but does not assist. Here is when I went full Druff mode. I took out his suitcase and placed my bag there and I motioned to the steward for help. Steward tells me same thing and I question as to why the rules apply to some but not all. Another passenger in my row decided to volunteer his spot to the goomba and I am under the impression that all is taken care of. As I begin to place his suitcase inside the overhead he yells wheels outside and takes it from my hands and I begin to sit down. He is cursing this entire time and proceeds to take my bag and violently throw it on top of my head, sits down behind me and continues to yell obscenities. I decide the only course of action moving forward is to request security. My friend is mortified pretty much, and even though he has known me for 15 or so years so he doesn't really know what to do.

Now, under different circumstances I would have allowed my bag to be placed elsewhere, but what I didn't want is, since it was a sold out flight, is for my back to be checked and then I would have to wait for it. I have had my bag 'misplaced' in a similar instance and I didn't want to chance it. I was with my friend who later told me that there was other spots but I guess I had tunnel vision.

Once corporate security arrives, a mid 30s Hispanic sounding brunette, arrives and she quickly chats with pilot and escorts goomba and myself outside the plane with my luggage. It looks like I am going to be missing my plane and as I walk out of the jet bridge I see the plane separating from the jet bridge. Fuck. I didn't think that I was going to get kicked off since I was the one being assaulted. But it is what it is.

Security tells me to explain and then says that the pilot said to her that "I wasn't so innocent" and that's why both of us are tossed. She tells me my options are to be put on the wait list for the noon flight, 5 hours later, and hope that since its sold out as well that there will be seats, and if that doesn't work wait for the 6pm flight. I now start getting a bit anxious. The attendant tells me is a slim chance to get on the noon one, since usually people miss rush hour flights like the 7am one or 5pm.She tells me that both of us wont be on the same flight.

I check other flight options but they are way too expensive. So, I am praying that there is some other shmuck who will miss this flight. I anxiously wait my name and I get called and get a seat. I breathe such a sigh of relief. Ill get to Vegas at 2pm instead of 9am which isn't as bad as getting in at 8pm.

Goomba wasn't on this plane so he most likely either spent extra 300 ish for a flight or waited till 6pm. Fuck him.

I sit down on my new flight and I am in a row with 5 women who are having a bachelorette party. We flirt, drink, have a great time laughing and joking. I hear they are doing a pool party at wet republic and say what a coincidence so am I. I think to myself wow everything must happen for a reason.

Maybe if I didn't have other things in my mind, or maybe if I had taken my vyvanse in the morning this wouldn't have occurred but kinda felt bad for my friend who had to deal with the other people on the plane asking him why I was an asshole.


More to come.

So I get to the hotel, and I immediately see this twink dancing in the lobby and I am like nice, this weekend might be looking up.

I pass by him and pass by Bruce Buffer who was staying there as well and he was walking across the street to the arena.

Next post will be about Kaskade, UFC and the 2 guys I met off of Grindr.

Maybe you should score up some cash with some quick jobs before embarking on your trip. Just think of the success the main character in this movie had, but put an "alternative" lifestyle twist on it.

Venmo, Quickpay or giftcard.... if those aren't convenient you can PayPal druff and he will get it to me.

Are you going to finish the report ---

[OSA]

So I get to my room and immediately go on Grindr to see what my prospects are for later today. I have an arrangement where as if I give notice I can bring fuck toys to engage in gay sex while my straight roommate(s) does something else.

So he comes over and we get to making out, but I am not a huge fan since he has decent amount of stubble, but is kinda cute. We dry hump as well and he takes off my pants and starts sucking me off and seems to enjoy cock. My mind was distracted a bit from work but I was able to shoot a filthy load all over his mouth. I get towels for each of us and I guess he expected me to reciprocate but I told him I had friends waiting for me.

I get a text from my manager saying that they are looking into a specific phone call which I had done nothing against procedure but I had taken upon myself to help cancel advertising from another client with her permission and request and apparently this went up the food chain when they found out I was working for this company. Other company is saying that I represented myself as part of that company. Details still to this day are murky. My manager tells me it doesn't look good as my VP and the CEO's are reviewing other calls, but both directors have my back as I have been the most dedicated, and successful rep during this year. He tells me that whatever happens, he has enjoyed working with me and knows that ill kill it anywhere else.

Anyway, this whole thing is giving me a pit in my stomach, I decided to split from the group after we ate at Encore. I couldn't enjoy the $18 dollar hamburger that I had ordered that much. They decided to hang out till XS opens but I needed to smoke pot and try to figure out a way to bring some closure, and at the same time since I was pretty sure I was getting fired, enjoy this weekend as much as possible.

I decide that writing my potential farewell email would help. I wrote everything down on 2 pieces of Monte Carlo stationary and read it aloud a few times and I kinda felt weirdly good. Everything just flowed and I hopped in a cab and joined my friends at XS to see Kaskade.


Kaskade visuals were great and I was 5 feet from him performing. At 3:15, I was exhausted but wired at the same time since I had a vyvanse, a sugar free redbull and 2 5hr extra strength energy. I decided to play some 1/2 NL till my adrenaline went back to normal. Then went to sleep at like 7am and woke up 3-4 hours later.


Next post is Saturday food, UFC and Porter Robinson.

[OSA]

Forgot about the Cirque De Soleil show I saw on Friday night before the club. I was like 25 minutes late because my knob was getting polished. I take my seat 2 rows from the stage. The show was called La Reve and it was by the far the best one I had ever seen. It was water themed but since no photos or videos were allowed words wont be able to do it justice. You had people diving from 100 feet in air into water. I have seen O, KA, and one more which I forgot but the athleticism and the theatrics were great put this one above all of them.


Okay, so I wake up around 11, ready to do more drugs, fuck and gamble.

I start of looking for food places off the strip for breakfast but don't see anything tempting to take a cab. We settle on Brexie. This is a new place that opened up right next to the T-Mobile arena. There's a California Pizza Kitchen there as well.

What a great fucking choice I made.

This is Hot Chicken. Did I mention that all sandwiches are served in a waffle? Crazy!!!



My friend foolishly got the pastrami which is just regular Boars Head, but chicken is the way to go for sure.




Since the UFC fights were starting at 3:30, it didn't leave us much time to do much so we gamble a bit. We were discussing about getting a daybed at Wet Republic for Sun morn but my friends didn't want to do that because it would cost about 500 a head and they are cheap.

We made a few bets at Sportsbook for UFC. I did 2 $50 dollar parlays which I of course lost.

Before the fight we ended up refunding our 915 dollar tickets to ones that were 530 but a whole level up. Next post I will show you the different sections and videos from Kaskade and Porter Robinson.

[Dan Druff]

Good posts so far.

A few items.

Le Reve is not a Cirque show. It's an imitation Cirque show, but it was made by that same Dragone guy who did O and several other Cirques, so it was the Cirque feel to it.

Some people love it, and some others have criticized it for being inferior to Cirque but at the same price point. I haven't seen it, so I can't comment, but it's good that you enjoyed it.

I thought that you were going to try to get pussy on this trip. Why did you immediately default to Grindr? Because it's easier?

You were in the wrong on the airplane. This should me a lot coming from me. I've been in the same situation as you many times, and I've just found ways to make it work, including by walking down the aisle and finding any open spot I can for my stuff. You do not have the right to the bin right above your head, or any bin at all. This is why it is important to board as soon as you can, if you have carryons with you. The "1 carryon per person" rule is at the discretion of the airline to enforce, and is usually "1 carryon plus one personal item". So you can bring a small suitcase on board and a laptop, and still be totally within the rules. Bottom line is that you are screwed once the bin is full, and can't move other people's stuff out to make room for yours.

I once had a similar situation but much less confrontational. I got on the plane near the end of boarding, and there was no room for my stuff in the bin above my head. I opened a few nearby bins and they were also full. The stewardess told me, "Sorry, they're all full, we will have to check it", but it was a long flight and I didn't want to be without this stuff, nor did I want this shit under my feet since I'm 6'2" and have little room as it is.

Instead, I replied, "I want to check for myself," and went and opened every bin on the plane, looking for any possible room. I found two bins where stuff could potentially be slid over (but not taken out) to make room for mine. I told this to the stewardess, who compromised by telling me she would ask the people who owned the stuff to see if they would slide it over, but that I had to wait until the plane took off and got to cruising altitude. I agreed and had the stuff under my feet for takeoff. After we got to cruising altitude, I approached the stewardess, she got the people to agree to move their stuff a bit more to the side, and I fit my two items in two different bins. Neither were close to my seat, but at least they were accessible.

If the stewardess refused to let me do this, I would have ultimately backed down. Airplanes are the one place I don't fuck around, for exactly the reason you found out.
