Where does everyone live/trade and how old.

Quote from gnome:

Maybe someone should start a Geezer thread... like minimum age 50. (Anybody that old and trading has likely been at it a long time... can't imagine anyone foolish enough to start at that age.)

Are you a old geezer? I qualify by your criteria to be a young geezer I suppose.

Unfortunately, yes. I've been trading so long I can now repeat the same mistakes I made as a rookie and not realize it.

Quote from Thunderdog:

I was under the impression that, apart from zoos and other forms of captivity, tigers only live in Asia. Am I mistaken?

ill back him up on the fact that even though it was not a tiger... the lingo is different country to country. it goes for all kinds of things. here a "trailer" is an 18 wheel truck. Lingo will change country to country. Where is live good food is "rico" or rich. I said that once in mexico and they thought i was crazy...they say "sabroso". In england...an english muffin is called a buscuit. where as to me a buscuit is somethhing you put gravy on.

after you are in the environment for a while, you start saying the same things...becomes a habit. you even start to stumle around with your native lanuguge. Here we have lots of jaguars...but locals sometimes call them "pumas". i wouldnt doubt the locals calling any big cat a"tigre", even though it is not a tiger.

I do. Ever so slowly, I feel the fog of CRS creeping over my brain.

If anyone doubts that jaguars arre called tigers in Belize then just look under the wildlife section at this link:
