Done or Not Done

[bigpapa]

Found on another site................Few good points!

It’s done!!! Really? How many

times have we heard this? Or how about this: 98.97% probability rate post in the

next 72 hours. Well let’s explore each one on its own shall we.

A man

brings in a car for me to work on. The engine won’t start. I gather my tools so

I can start work on it tomorrow. The next day the man calls and I say

“its done”. When he shows up I tell him that I have my tools

out and I am working on it but it still won’t start. The man is puzzled because

I said it was done. Next day I start going through the repair

manual because I still can’t get it started. The customer calls and I tell him

“it’s done”. The man shows up and I explain that I’m reading

the manuals on the car and it still won’t start. He say “But you said it

was done?”.

How many times do you think I could say this to the

man before he has me committed for being totally insane?

I realize that

there is much that goes into revaluing a currency. By definition the

revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar only happens when the “value” of the currency

changes. This is pretty straight forward. In what way is it done?

Because people are working on it that means it is done? (you may want to read

the above example). Come on let’s just grow up. This is really silly. If the

value of a currency has not changed then it is not a “done”

revaluation.

I am a mathematician. No joke I really am. So you can

imagine how I cringe each time I see something like “98.97% probability rate

post in the next 72 hours”. How many times can something be a 98% or more

probability and not happen? If it is a 98% probability for the next 72 hours

re-posted over a 2 month range then I think remedial math may be in

order.

Come on guys you were thinking it too don’t lie.

This isn’t about bashing it is about using common

sense. Stop treating us like we don’t understand the simple definition of

done.

Definition of done:

1. A simple past tense of do.

(verb)

2. Completed; finished; through.(adjective)

There see. That is

the definition of done. Still think it’s done?

I am glad you straightened me out. I have been thinking it was done and only showing or pinging select screens since July31. My husband keeps asking me everyday that I tell him it's done '' is it cash in done today or is it still only okie done??'' Bahahaha!!!

Your right, it does not take a math mathematician. Common sense tells me it ain't over till I see the funds in the bank.

I'll let Okie in on a secret... It's not done...

[abelgd11]

I have not cashed in. It's not done.

[god bless]

WHEN DONE, I'M CASHING IN @ THE BANK...THEN IT'S 100% DONE...AS ALWAYS...GOD BLESS.....

IMO, these gurus' brains are well-done. Your illustration makes a good point. My take is that they don't have any idea what's going on; they are simply guessing - day after day. It's a way of staying in the limelight and feeding their egos. Pretty pathetic actually. Would be laughable if there weren't so many hanging on and counting on their claims.

Ahhhh... the question is ... "is she waiting in the wings, or is she getting ready to walk out on stage"!

I understand the original post... and I totally agree... it ain't over till it's over, let's keep this thing real. That is what I like about Adam... he may get excited, "who doesn't", but he won't say it's done... until "it's done"... that is my definition of a straight shooter!

GO RV Already Baby!!!
