And yeah, I was certainly happy when I found those forty bucks, I was starting to worry I'd have to ask my mom for money lol. It's mostly my fault. I suck at managing my money. I bought a shirt last weekend and I wore it on Saturday then I wanted to wear it again today but I didn't like it anymore so that's $25 I could have saved. Pink flamingos always fascinated me.

NotNightwing 1,710 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have the feeling this will be looked back on as the worst move many of these countries could have made. The terms are being negotiated in secret ffs. We don't even know what our government fully agreed to. So much for democracy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terms are being negotiated in secret ffs. We don't even know what our government fully agreed to. So much for democracy.A US member invovled in negotiations said Canada was only one who disclosed more to population... If thats true, then the other Countries must be saying nothing cuz were missing half the details Anyway free trade and removal of barriers does raise competition and promotes efficiency. It also helps each economy eccel in what they are good at. But at the end of the day, the more competitive economies will win and the less competitive economies will loose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroglamx 5,178 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 rice and beans for dinner rice and rice for breakfast rice and carrots for lunch ... do it again ... I've actually been made fun of by my friends cause I like rice and beans but not mixed together. It makes me feel poor and then I feel bad for saying that cause sometimes poor people don't even have rice and beans to eat so I just don't eat anymore. JK. Pink flamingos always fascinated me.
