Captain & Crew
Try to stick to PNG images, they are generally the most compact. Otherwise GIF or JPG. Bitmap (BMP) are too large.
I suggest that you start a new thread each month to keep it to a manageable size. You could name the first "Captains Log - 2004/02 (February)" and so on. That way they will stay in date order. If you want I can transfer the February posts now. Let me know.

MONEY MANAGEMENT
Lesson 1: Share critical information pertaining to Credit and Risk
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower
when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which one
should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps
herself
up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands
Bob, the next door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give
you $800 to drop that towel that you have on" After thinking for a moment,
the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few
seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves. Confused, but excited about
her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back
upstairs. When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the
shower, "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes
me?"
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit
and risk in a timely fashion with your stakeholders, you may be in a
position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Corporate Lesson 3: Respect leadership hierarchy wisely
A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch
when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a
puff of smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll
give each of you just one." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I
want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speed boat, without a care in the
world.." Poof! She's gone. In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the
sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal
masseuse, an endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life."
Poof!
He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager
says,
"I want those two back in the office after lunch." Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.}}

Ahoy Sea-Cadet-Officer Braveheart
You are Spot on again
Hold on tight to the AIM ropes
Try not to let go too early this time
Everyone loves a winner in bad weather and she will certainly stand out soon
Her recent personal best will be tested shortly and must always be respected
However, it is my judgement that this cold front will prove to be relatively weak and only respected by the novice sea-cadets

The placement by Aim could be to get them a pretty large resource in Sth Africa?
Not that the fundamentals are of any value or anything ... I suspect she'll swing fairly wildly today as there's a few largish sell orders already lined up!
Darn it, I wish I had a larger trading pool sometimes, I thought Web was hoisted, now I've got to wonder if it's too late for moi'
Oh Well, onward and hopefully upwards! Julles

15. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.
16. Dogs like to go hunting.
17. Another man will seldom steal your dog
18. If you bring another dog home, your dog will happily play with both of
you.
19. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died would you get
another dog?"
20. If you pretend to be blind, your dog can stay in your hotel room for
free.
21. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
22. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a
pervert.
23. A dog won't hold out on you to get a new car.
24. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad, they just think
it's interesting.
25. On a car trip, you dog never insists on running the heater.
26. Dogs don't let magazine articles guide their lives.
27. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.
28. Dogs are not allowed in shops that sell clothes and shoes.
And, last but not least,
29. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

Spider ,
I Own a German shepherd, But here is one for the married blokes
Dear Friends,
It is important for men to remember that as women grow older it becomes
harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as they did
when they were younger. When men notice this, they should try not to yell.
Let me relate how I handle the situation.
When I got laid off from my consulting job and took "early retirement" in
April, it became necessary for Nancy to get a full-time job, both for extra
income and for the health benefits that we need. It was shortly after she
started working that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age.
I usually get home from fishing or hunting about the same time she gets
home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says
that she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts supper.
I try not to yell, instead I tell her to take her time and just wake me
when she finally does get supper on the table. She used to do the dishes as
soon as we finished eating. It is now not unusual for them to sit on the
table for several hours after supper. I do what I can by reminding her
several times each evening that they aren't cleaning themselves. I know she
appreciates this, as it does seem to help her get them done before she goes
to bed.
Now that she is older she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Our
washer and dryer are in the basement. Sometimes she says she just can't
make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue of this. As
long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening I am willing to
overlook it.
Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday
lodge meeting or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker club or to Tuesday's
or Thursday's bowling or something like that, I will tell her to wait
until the next evening to do the ironing. This gives her a little more
time to do some of those odds and ends things like shampooing the dog,
vacuuming or dusting. Also, if I have a really good day of fishing, this
allows her to gut and scale the fish at a more leisurely pace.
Nancy is starting to complain a little occasionally. For example, she will
say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills
during her lunch hour. In spite of her complaining, I continue to try to
offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three
days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that
missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any, if you know
what I mean.
When doing simple jobs she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She
had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try
not to embarrass her when she needs these little extra rest breaks. I tell
her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and
just sit for a while. I tell her that as long as she is making one for
herself, she may as well make one for me and take her break by the hammock
so she can talk with me until I fall asleep.
I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Nancy on a
daily basis. I'm n | | |
