25. Put your money back on it. It's happening
Thu Oct 11, 2012, 11:45 AM
Oct 2012

The whole reason I made this post is to have something reflect on AFTER the fact.
I like to call things before they happen.
I welcome the disbelief & doubt.
I love it. Makes it all the better when my predictions come out right.

I also love the agreements.
Who wants to be on the winning team?
Put your money back on it, tman.
It's happening in a major way.
John Lucas
